Full Name: Gabriella Fitzpatrick sometimes goes by McGinn
Newsie name: Gabbi
Name origin: It's a shortened version of her full name.
Age: 16-odd years
Gender: Femme
Birthplace: Ireland
Currently Living: Brooklyn
History: Immigrated from Ireland with her parents. Her mother is dead and her father is living in Chicago, and her uncle lives in Brooklyn. She refuses to associate with him because he abused her when she had to stay with him after her father left for Chicago. He mailed money back to her uncle to support her and was going to send for her. After several years of waiting, she gave up and decided that it wasn't worth it.
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Hair Style: Long, usually down--though it was more sophisticated to wear it up.
Eye Color: Green
Skin Color: Pale, freckles on nose.
Height: 4'11
Weight: 93 lbs
Clothing Style: There isn't much choice here. She wears a long, dark brown skirt and a white chemise, barefoot more often than not.
Items owned: Gold locket that she refuses to pawn, a tattered Bible, a tin cup, socks, nightgown. Cap.
Troubles: Malnutrition, uneven temperment that is generally inevitable and uncontrollable, poorly paying job, unease around people.
Fears: Illness, breechment of trust, being incompatible socially.
Siblings: Tom, 21
Parents: Seamus Fitzpatrick and Kathleen McGinn
Personality: Gabbi is pretty fierce and tends to get into a lot of fights with anyone who happens to get in her way or anyone who irks her in general. She is strong for her size and gender and can throw a pretty good punch, and as a result tends to get into trouble when she lets loose--fighting, stealing and just causing damage are her biggest issues, particularly when she's pissed. She has a kind side to her as well, but it comes out most often amongst friends.
Gabbi is loyal to the grave, but its hard to get to know her because she's snappy and impatient. She is good with children, though, and especially with animals. She has a habit of picking up strays sometimes when she would go selling and end up feeding the animals for days, even weeks. Gabbi usually gets along better with boys then girls, but mostly because she grew up with a brother, who was her best friend until he left home.
Her loyalties often lie with the people who've been decent to her, although it takes a good amount to get her to trust you. Letdowns and dissappointments are intolerable, and once you breach a trust that she has with you it's nearly impossible to regain it.
She is a fighter by force of habit and necessity. Oftentimes she'll fight only when she feels personally attacked, but on her off days she'll fight to nix an annoyance or to do away with a pain. Generally there are few people that she wont fight with, her closest friends excepted. She will also fight to establish territory and reputation, but she knows when to mind her own place.
