Sketchy

Whats yer name? Sketchy Hadlan, or Jessica, if ya wantsta get technical.

How old are ya'? Sixteen last week.

When's yer boithday? March 11.

Whatcha look like? ::looks down:: Cantcha tell? Oh well. I'se about five seven, that's what Kloppman down in Manhattan tol' me. Me hair is brown, but with a lotta red in it. Everyone comments 'bout me eyes, dey're real bright blue.

Whats yer personality? I would say I'se pretty nice to most everyone, if a litta sarcastic at times, an I dun get mad easy, but when I do, I wouldn't want anyone innocent ta get in me way. ::snickers::

Whats yer story? ::rocks back on her heels, thinking:: Well, I don't 'memba anyting till I'se about four.. that was when Dutch nearly tripped ova me in his sellin, and he brought me home to Kloppman and I lived there till just recently when ..::her voice faulters a little:: Kloppman got sick. Cowboy
told me he'd probably.. pass away.. so I had to get out cuz I can't take it.. ::looks down sadly::

Got any talents? ::brightens, taking a picture out of her small bag:: Yeah! I can draw! That's where I got Sketchy, ya know. Yeah, I draw with lead pencils and ink and charcoal and stuff like that. ::she shows you the drawing, a landscape; it is in charcoal and one of the best you have seen: a barn
capping a snowy feild:: ::you nod, impressed::

Whose yer friend? Friend? I got lotsa friends. Back home, it was Blink and Dutchy. Blink's everyone's friend, and he decided to go ahead and be mine too, but Dutchy was special. He was the one that brough me in. He's like a big brudda ta me. A kiss on tha cheek every mornin before sellin, and a
goodnight hug before settlin' in at night. ::smiles:: I really do love him. Harlaquinne an' Goosey are my friends too.

Gotta sweetie? ::blushes a little:: Wellll...... ::lowers her voice:: Ya know Snitch came wit me ta make sure I was doin okay? ::grin:: I'se liked him for a while! He's so cute!!

How'd you end up 'ere? ::shrugs:: It was tha closest to Manhattan. I wantsta be able ta go home once in a while, see tha boys.
