Name: Isabelle Matrichi
NN (if applicable): Isa, Picks
Age: 16
date and place of birth: August 3rd, Brooklyn NY
Personality: When it comes to personally your looking at the kind of person that is going to growl at you, snap at you and hate you before she even looks at you properly. Isa is very guarded, stubborn and opinionated. She damn well will do what she wants and insists loudly that she does not need any help from anyone. She's take charge and a very talented pick pocket and lock pick. If you are in her inner circle she's a lot warmer than she is if you are not. But she's determined not to have anyone take care of her. No matter if they do behind her back or not.
Hobbies and interests: She actually hasn't found a hobby besides breaking and entering. Though she likes to draw, loves to sketch things and keeps that to herself and protects that like she does her life and her privacy. She doesn't want anyone to know she does it.
Bad habits, criminal record, etc: Well Isa used to be a member of one of the street gangs in Brooklyn. She managed to avoid being used for a whore by using her clever fingers for something else. Picking locks and stealing form people. She's never been officially arrested... for anything but those from the lodging houses know that she showed up one night in her brother's arms beaten nearly to death so no one questions that she was in deep.
Employment: Mostly a newsie but does a lot of things to earn money and not all of them are good.
Background info (please include family as well): Isa Matrichi was born to Sicilian immigrants that came to New York to escape the rising power of the Mafia. She didn't and doesn't know anything of it but when her parents came their names were changed from what they had been to something that the people at the ledges could spell easier. Her brother was born soon after they arrived in the states, a year later Isabelle was born.
Her father died on the docks when she was five years old, an accident caused by someone not tightening the ropes right had him crushed beneath freight. Not long after the long hours were too much for her mother and she took ill. By that time her brother was already a newsie and off doing god knows what. She hadn't seen him in months before her mother died and she was forced out into the street.
The same people her parents had run from found her also. But she was clever and had always had clever fingers. She picked pockets for them, then used lock picks and found she'd never found a lock she couldn't pick. But she was creative and clever, when she found herself trying to not starve since her cut became smaller and smaller she stole something she'd stolen and fenced it on the street. She was caught and beaten until she couldn't move. her fingers broken and left to die in the back room of the building the gang worked out of before they decided to move on.
Her brother came then, bringing the brooklyn boys to get her. How he knew she was in trouble or why he was there she didn't question. Though she told him she was fine he saved her life that night. Took her back to the brooklyn girls lodging house and never turned back. She's still afraid they'll find her, knows they will if they get the chance. But she-- she is going to protect the people in her life from the past. Even if she has to be alone to do it.
