Name: Addie "Puzzle Piece" Fisher {played by Lorraine Nicholson}
Age: 15
Physical Description: Puzzle Piece is a girl of medium height with semi-tanned skin. She has light freckles across the bridge of her nose, cheeks and forehead, as well as her arms and has light blue eyes. Her hair is a light blond with other colors ranging from dirty blond to brown throughout it. Her hair is usually left down with a single braid on the left side of her head. Other times she'll put it up with a small strip of cloth. She, like everyone, wears typical turn of the century clothing, although she strays more toward mens clothing. Being in the poor state she is, she only has a couple of faded button up shirts ranging from colors of yellow to light blue, plus a few pairs of pants that are too large on her (all brown). She has a single pair of boots, a couple of socks, and one newsie hat that's rarely ever worn aside from winter. She doesn't carry any trinkets or anything of value to her.
History: Addie was born into a fairly well off family; she had a loving mother, hard working father and one older brother. At the age of six, her mother became pregnant with another child, but when the time came for the child to be born, something went wrong, and neither her mother or sister survived. Everything else went down hill from there; it became harder for Addie's father to take care of a six and eight year old and work at the same time, and before they knew it, they were thrown out of their house. To keep the small apartment they bought afterward, Addie, her father and brother all had to work. While Addie worked at a seamstresses shop down the street, her father and brother worked in a factory. To keep the food on the table, Mr. Fisher had to work extra hours just to make ends meet, and before long, he fell ill. Addie and her brother did all they could to keep him fed and nourished, but with the work dwindling, her father soon died and they were yet again, kicked out of their apartment. Addie and her brother, now eleven and thirteen, tried to make a living with odd jobs here and there, but before Addie could even think of a way to keep them alive, they began to steal, and stealing meant getting thrown in the refuge. That's where her brother ended up, and no matter how many times Addie tried to break him out, it was impossible, and before she knew it, the refuge had sent him off to some distant city to work. Having no where else to go, and having tried every other available job, Addie went to Brooklyn, adopting the name Puzzle Piece as her newsie name as she tried to piece her life back together.
Personality: While headstrong and somewhat arrogant, Puzzle Piece has been broken time and time again. Broken to a point where she thought there was no coming back. She had lost everything and everyone that had ever meant anything to her. But she grew to ignore that distant ache in her heart for her family and put her focus on staying alive. While she has good intentions about what she does, most of her actions end up in her face planting it anyway; she'll say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing. And although she's sure life's out to get her, she puts on her angriest face and carries on to the next day, remembering that tomorrow could always be better. Puzzle Piece is friendly, but tends to make enemies as easily as friends. Cocky people irk her, and know-it-alls just make her want to knock their lights out.
Likes: Water, swimming, the sun, food, sleeping.
Dislikes: The cold, rain, being woken up.
