Name: Jonah "Bear" Whitman
Age: 16/17ish
Physical Description: Bear is your average joe, tall and lanky, with medium brown hair that is lighter in the sunlight. He has dark blue eyes and a sleek face. His features are usually not harsh or unkind, more than likely you'll find him with a twinkle in his eye and a smirk on his face. He wears typical newsies garb, a collared shirt with the sleeves folded up to the elbows and navy suspenders, along with a gray newsboys hat.
History: Bear knows both paths of having a family and working hard. He spent his early years somewhat ordinarily, a Mother, a Father, a brother, an apartment, going to school, being raised properly. On the other hand he spent the rest of his childhood working in numerous sweatshops, factories, and hawking the headlines on the street.
He's lived in Brooklyn all his life and doesn't see himself living anywhere else for long. He's lived in the Poplar Lodging House in Brooklyn since he was only a lad, and sees it as probably the closest thing to a home besides his real one that was destroyed in a fire. Since Bear stuck around for so long, the newsies noticed his loyalty and his trustworthiness. Soon Bear took on the position of bird, messenger, carrying information to and from other boroughs. He's never mentioned much about his family or his upbringing, using his nickname, Bear, which he was given by the newsies for his snoring.
Personality: Bear isn't the most outspoken person, and mostly uses his ears instead of his mouth, always keeping out an observant eye for anything to report. He has a lighthearted, easy going persona, aside from the few scraps he gets in from time to time. He takes his duties very seriously, no snoozing on the job. Because of his ordinary appearance and quiet personality, he's able to blend in most places fairly easily.
Likes: Sleeping, challenges, the Brooklyn Bridge, his slingshot, pulling pranks
Dislikes: being called by his real first name, fire( he doesn't smoke a wink cuz' a lit cigarette was what caused the fire that took his family's lives), being made fun of
