Name: Rita Caroline Thomas
Nickname: None, yet
Age: 16
Physical Description: Rita is petite, standing only at 5'3", and she's thin. She has green eyes that stand out from her pale skin. Her brown hair is a medium length. She usually wears it down, but every now and then she'll braid it and tie it in a bun when it gets in her way. Rita wears a green blouse and a blue skirt, both are stained and tattered. She also has a newsie cap, but rarely wears it. She has brown boots that she wears, unless it's summer than she goes barefoot because she hates wearing shoes.
History: Rita was born on June 14th, 1883 to Mark and Lucy Thomas. She was the second child for the couple, the first being Amy, who was older by two years. The third child, Luke, was born in 1886. Mark was a factory worker, who was also an aspiring writer. Lucy was a retired school teacher, who devoted her life to being a wife and mother. The family was far from wealthy, but Rita couldn't ask for a better childhood or for a better family.
One day in 1891, while the three children were at school, a fire broke out in the Thomas' apartment. Both Mark and Lucy were in bed sick with influenza, and they didn't know about the fire until it was too late.
Amy, Rita, and Luke returned to their apartment in Manhattan to discover it was gone. Their parents were dead and they were now orphans. It was decided that the three siblings would go to California to live with their aunt and uncle. Rita didn't want to leave behind her home in New York, she asked Amy to tell everyone that she had ran away and no one knew where she was at now. Amy grudgingly agreed, as long as she could keep in contact with Rita to make sure she was safe.
Rita is now a newsie, and loves her life in New York. She still keeps in contact with Amy and Luke by writing letters to them.
Personality: Rita loves to have fun, if she's not having fun then it's pointless to her. She's an optimistic one, always looking on the bright side of life. She can usually be seen with a smile on her face, no matter the circumstance. She's a huge prankster, and loves pulling jokes on her fellow newsies. Rita's fiercely loyal to her friends, leader, and newsies. She loves to read, and appreciates good writing, something she got from her father. Overall she's a very friendly and happy girl.
