Name: Aleka Wierson
Age: 16
Gender: female
Looks:
she also has a scar on the left side of her forehead near her eyebrow.
Family: A mother and a stepfather, neither of which are in the story.
Job/way of making money/surviving (if applicable): Mostly, she steals what she needs. She's a skilled pick pocket.
Power: (if applicable): Enhanced senses, however, if she is focusing on one sense, she tends to lose the others. For example, if she's using her enhanced vision, she would be basically deaf.
Personality: For the most part, she keeps her distance because physical contact can, at times, be painful for her. Despite that, though, she is not exactly shy. She can talk to people fairly easily, but her temper flares up quickly, however, it also dies down quickly. Her main concern is just plain survival.
History: Her family has never been what anyone would call stable. Her biological father was a heroin addict who died from an overdose (someone, intending to kill him, sold him a bag of pure heroin) while her mother was still pregnant with her and her mother remained unmarried until Aleka was ten years old. They moved around quite a bit because her stepfather worked in construction, and was incredibly emotionally and psychologically abusive toward them. One night, while they were living in Poughkeepsie, her stepfather had come home to their apartment drunk and nearly beat her mother to death with an empty knife block on the counter. When Aleka tried to run to her mother's aid and beat him off of her, he hit her in the side of the head with the block, leaving a gash on the side of her forehead, and raped her. Later on that night, she packed a bag and fled.
Where currently lives: She tends to stay closer to Times Square, because the amount of tourists around there make for good marks to pick off of, but she does occasionally wander off into other parts of the city.
