What are you doing in Queens? Well, I finally busted out of that blasted orphanage back down in Philadelphia and the big city of New York had always fancinated me, so I hopped a train and came here. When I got here, I needed a place to stay, so here I am.

Are the cops after you? Haven't been here long enough to give them a reason to.

What do you look like? I'm a little over 5 feet tall, and I'm fairly skinny (those orphanages never feed you enough, I'm tellin' ya!). I have really dark brown hair that I like to wear in 2 braids and eyes that are just as dark as my hair. Also, I tend to wear a skirt instead of the pants that most newsgirls wear.

Anything else we should know about you? I'm a horrible klutz. Honest. I somehow manage to drop everything that I'm ever given to hold. That's how I got my nickname. So, if you ever get something valuable, don't let me touch it! I'm also a big talker. All ya gotta do is tell me your name and I'll talk your ear off.
