Much is given to some,
and little is given to others.
Injustice has parcelled out the world,
nor is there equal division of aught save sorrow.
-Oscar Wilde

Well, I'm not sure where to start. I'm not from New Orleans, I was born in Chicago. Lived there till I was 8. I was the youngest, I had four older brothers. Still do, I suppose. My mom died when I was three so it was just the guys and me. Ain't easy livin' with a dad who believes that everything is based on sports and competition, especially when you're the only girl. My dad wasn't a bad guy, just that he didn't know how to handle a girl. So I figured I'd help him out and so I ran away. Ain't been back, either.

Wasn't easy bein' out on my own at that age, but I ended up making it safely to New Orleans about two years after I left. I liked it there. So I decided to stay. But I really ain't never been good at doin' things I ain't supposed to do. I hooked up with Las Araņas awhile after I got there and that's where I met Lure. Me and her hit it off real good, became friends fast. We did everything together, although she was always more willin' to do things I wouldn't do. So I stayed back and just did little things that wouldn't get me in too much trouble. The fights, those were the worst. I hated 'em. Still do, really. I didn't like goin' up against other people and tryin' to hurt 'em. Most of the time, I kept out of it. But one day, I got stuck. Me and a few others were out and got jumped. We were outnumbered so the best thing we could do was get away. But I got trapped and the others just ignored me when I tried to get 'em to help. They just left me. But I got saved, by Miguel of all people. He took me with him where it was safe and got me calmed down. I couldn't believe the people that were supposed to stick with me just left. So that's when I decided that I was gonna join up with them. Paco and Lure started hatin' me 'cause of it. But not too long ago Lure and I saw each other again. Got to be friends again and she helped to set me up with Emilio. We're kinda together now, he's the best. I got caught by Paco for awhile. I don't really wanna talk about that, though. I mean, I really don't. Guess I'll get over it someday, but right now it's just too soon.

What is a friend?
A single soul dwelling in two bodies
-Aristotle

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.
