Description

Daisy is a rather small girl with black, straight hair that falls a few inches below her shoulders. It's usually tied back in a low ponytail, or tucked inside of her sweatshirt. The only sweatshirt that she owns is a black and white checkered pattern and is almost always seen on Daisy. There is a light blue rubberband on her right wrist that she never removes. Her skin is a pale color, but is usually covered in dirt and soot and she has a small scar above her left eye from a fight she had gotten into during her first week on the streets. She always wears her pair of tattered converse along with skinny jeans.

Her overall appearence is unhealthy and malnurished.

Personality

When most people first talk to Daisy, they would call her strange. She likes to call herself a rebel. Daisy is a girl who doesn't seem to want to listen to anyone. She will mind her own buisness when she feels like it, but most of the time she is picking and choosing through other people's belongings. Daisy has a tendency to act "trashy", but that's what street kids are, and so most people around her don't mind because they aren't much better. She's constantly cursing and being innapropriate, but then again, she knows much more than a young girl should.

Working as a prostitute, selling and taking drugs, and stripping are things that Daisy does not only for the money, but for the thrill of it. Being hunted down by cops isn't something unusal for the fifteen-year-old, and like before, she just loves the adrenaline rush. Daisy is someone who rarely takes anything seriously, but when you insult her, she'll fight. She talks as if she were three times her size and although she can fight, she couldn't take on anyone bigger than herself.

Equipment

Nothing but her bare hands, and a lighter if that counts for anything.

History

Daisy was born as Mary Ellen Brower fourteen years ago to a young couple. Both of her parents were seventeen at the time of her birth, but her father had left after finding out that his girlfriend was pregnant. She and her mother lived in North Miami Beach, Florida for eight years. Mary Ellen put up with the late night fights, beatings and parties that involved her mother and her constant new boy friends. At age four, she was removed from her home after a report that her mother had exchanged her for drugs. She was placed in a foster home in Florida for a year while her mother was in rehab. Three months after being returned home, her mother had a relapse. By the age of seven, Mary was living states away, with her mother's aunt. Her great aunt who resided in New York had offered to take custody of the young girl. There were frequent accounts of behavior problems coming from Mary Ellen at school and home, and it ended up that she was diagnosed with OCD and minor depression. Her strict aunt didn't have to put up with her for much longer though. At age ten, she had left. Her aunt never reported her missing.

Over the last four years, Mary Ellen decided to change her name to Daisy. She decided that it represented all of the good things that she was deprived of and she had always hated the name Mary Ellen. She has been arrested for loitering, trespassing and possession of narcotics. She served six months in a juvinile correction center before being released back onto the streets where she currently resides. She has been involved in multiple prostitution scandals but always seems to escape and fall back into the shadows of alleyways. Daisy never stays in one place for two long but when she sees the group of homeless kids, she is attracted to their way of life.
