 NAME;;
"Emeline Henrietta Jessup. My parents chose out a nice little name for me, didn't they?"
ALIAS;;
"The newsies of Manhattan named me Delight."
AGE;;
seventeen
HISTORY;;
"My past isn't at all odd or weird or sketchy. I was born in the West Side of New York to two hard-working parents. They wanted what was best for me and tried their best to raise me right. I'll be honest, I wasn't an easy child to deal with. I was always doing something else. Daydreaming, sketching, dozing off.
"But then a strike started at the factory my parents worked for. They didn't join because they needed to support me and another baby that was on the way. Knowing how strikes are, they beat my parents to death. I was set out onto the streets with no way to provide for myself. I was only seven at the time. It was about a week later that I found the lodging house in Manhattan and started working as a newsie.
"I gained my nickname within the first few months. I guess Emeline was too formal. But I got the name Delight. Which I'm perfectly fine with having. I sold well enough, despite the lack of upper-handedness that came with being a child or entirely too innocent-looking.
"I hope to go on and write a novel of my experiences when I get a little older. But for now, I gather the memories that will make my fame."
PERSONALITY;;
Delight is a kind soul. She doesn't particularly enjoy fighting or violence. She's almost like the embodiment of Manhattan. She doesn't get involved in other people's quarrels unless she's dragged into them or she believes the opposing side is completely out of line. She will fight for what is right…though, being human, she is wrong from time to time because of deception or poor judgement. She still has some of the child-like wonder she had when she was younger, as well as the tendencies to drift off from reality.
