So wat's yer name, kid? Name’s Kate O’Malley. An’ you? 
You got a nick-name or was 'dat it?  Naw, the kids call me Riot.  Three guesses as ta where -that- came from. . .
Where you from, anyways? Originally? Ireland, I guess ya could say.  Wasn't born there, a course, but me mum was. Me, I was born on a ship that sank a few years ago called "The Sea Wench".  Ain't dat a great name?  There ain't evah been a bettah ship ta sail the seas. Fortunately, though, I didn't have ta do through it's sinkin'.  But anyways, as of recently, I been a resident a Chicago, Illinois.  Now -that's- a bad town if I evah seen one.
Whadd'a yah look like? Whadda I look like??  Geemaneez, if you can't tell, who knows?  I certainly ain't seen meself in a mirror lately.  It's been at least a couple a years.  Far as I can tell, though, me hair is black, an' it's been gettin' pretty long.  That's why I gotta keep it braided all da time.  Damn stuff gets in the way.  I oughta cut it off.  Anyways, what else?  Somebody once tol' me a few years ago that me eyes are hazel, so unless they've changed, I'd guess they still are.  Oh, an' I happen ta be fairly, uh *looks around nervously* thin, but don't go bringin' it up, awright?
Got any 'ahhh, distin'guishin charact'ahristics? *narrowly eyes the narrator*  Distinguishin' characteristics, huh?  Whaddya tryin' ta imply?  Didn't we jist talk about this?  Hell, I know I'm skinnier'n most kids.  Don't mean ya gotta go aroun' pointin' it out.  'Sides that, I happen ta have the digestive tract of a goat - nothin' makes me sick. 
If you emptied out yah pockets on dis' table right now, wat would fall out? Uh *feels around in her pockets*, about two bits, give or take a dime or two, an' a couple a cigarettes, an' an empty matchbook - hey, I oughtta throw that out.
How'd you find 'da place? Oh, that ain't such an innerestin' story.  I got outta an orphan train (nevah travel in one a those, trust me) an' landed right aroun' heah.  Not such a bad place, if ya ask me.  But, look *leans in conspiratorially*, if anybody from Chicago comes lookin' for me heah, you nevah hoid a me, okay?
You drink, smoke, gamble...  Don't drink much, but I'm a fair poker player, an' I been known ta shoot craps.  As far as smokin' goes, you gotta light?  It's been ten minutes since I had me last cigarette. 
Related tah any'bady we'd know? Uh *thinks* nope, I don't think so.  Naw *nods* I think all a me relatives died on the Wench.
Who's yah best friend? Best friend? *shrugs*  Wouldn't say I got one.  Now friends, I got plenty a those - or at least anuff ta keep me busy.
Got any woyds tah live by? Yeah, this's one that's pretty popular where I come from:  If ya want an audience, start a fight.  Words ta live by, my friend. Words ta live by.
