*sighs and looks over the papers* All right, first things first, what's your real name? First and last.:

*speaks in a heavy New York accent* The people at the orphanage I grew up in called me Elizabeth, Elizabeth Brush, *pats herself on the heart showing that she is Elizabeth and proud to be* but you can never be too sure. Those people are always makin up lies, tryin to give ya a history, a family, but I say they stink and should never be trusted, never *crosses her arms and looks back through the window.*

*nods* Yeah I got a nickname.My friend Laurie started up Lizzie, then Liz, and then Jumper. *Sighs* He said that after we broke up I had a new guy every night and that I jumped from one guy to anudder so he called me Jumper and I'm not sure why but it stuck. I don't usually like telling people why I'm called Jumper...cause they start thinking I sleep with every guy I see. I don't, get that straight!

As I said before...you can never trust them people at the orphanage, but, according to what they told me I'm about 16, *shakes her hand* probably 17 these days, and no I don't know my birthday. *really has no idea whether she is currently 16 or 17 but likes to go for the older age and moves the age up at the start of each year* *is 17*

Are ya blind or something? Well, anyways I'm 5'4" which I consider a perfectly good height. *pause* My skin is a little darker then most people, but what do ya expect with all the sun I'm in running from one place to the next. My eyes are brown *points to her eyes*, they don't glisten in the sunlight or change colors or show up brighter when I wear brown, they're just brown. My hair is brown too, and it doesn't seem to stop growin so I always tie it up.* Only lets her hair down when feeling seductive or flirtacious as a sort of secret weapon.* *Has hair that is not frizzy or straight but a mixture of softcurls and waves* I guess that's about it. *Is skinny due to the fact she refuses to eat when at extreme loss of contol* *Even while skinny has an attractive body that she is unaware of* *Has matured greatly physically in the past year and now has more curves* *Still has a fading scar on the far right of her face that is usually concealed by a lock of untied and untucked hair*

I don't take nothin *points to herself* from nobody. I can be tough when I need to be, but I'll never be mean if there is no reason to be. *Generally thinks she is tougher than she is in actuality* *Can't lie or fist fight well, however is skillfull with a knife* *Is slowly letting her guard down and being more openly courteous and sweet thought it's harder for her to trust others than ever before* *Isn't very shy normally and can be very spontaneous* *Can't help but make sly remarks when pushed the slightest bit* *When greatly upset takes to drinking and occasional drugs despite her low tolerance for both* Overall I'm a nice person though. *smiles cheerfully*

Well, lawrence my ex and best friend, lives about 20 miles away, in Midtown. *Visits him often, jumping on the back of carriages as well as running and walking to do so* As for as around here though *thinks* I'd consider Siren, Tracker, Gears, Morning and Anthony my friends, but I guess that must depend on your definition of what a friend is. *Was very close to Trust and a few others that left the lodging house*

Me? Have a significant other? Let me give you my history with love. *leans in* Guy one, Lawrence. Laurie was a nice guy who I had know, well since forever. He was m first love, blah blah blah, he cheated on me. End of story, end of romance. Buy number two, Con. Who knows why the heck we ended up together, he was available, I was available and it just happened. When we were together everything was perfect. However, trust was low and I was young---er, and stupid----er..or more stupid..whichever. Blah, blah, blah, he left me after a small depressive episode I had and frankly I don't blame him for leaving, just get mad at the fact he couldn't tell me himself. Buy three...well, let's just call him nameless. We also came to be out of nowhere however it involved ice skating. Yes, it started with ice skating and ended with secrecy and marriage. *realizes how what she said sounded* No..I mean -he- was married, we didn't get married. I found out the pleasant information when we bumped into his wife while on a date. We're trying to work it all out thought, and I guess it's not fair to say it's completely over yet.

The people at the orphanage say that my family members died in a carriage accident *rolls eyes* but I know the truth is that they left me. Lawrence is my only family now.

I guess cause of stuff from my past. *looks down at the ground as if she is analyzing the cracks in the wooden floor and making a mental note of where each one is* My family abandoned me. When I was about 8, I thought it was time for me to leave the orphanage and start a new life. Me and some kids reorganized and in 1898 we escaped. Anyways, I started out at a different lodging house, a much smaller one *looks around really taking in how large a lodging house this is compared to the others she has stayed in* *looks again at the floor* I can't even remember the name. The people from the orphanage were lookin for me and the other runaways for one reason or another so we had to move fast, there was no way were going back. I went to a few other lodging houses before settling down *sighs* I turned to Lawrence, him being a familiar face. Our relationship lasted a prettylong time but he turned and well you know the story. Eventually I forgave Lawrence, he became my best friend. Before all of that, my heart sank and I began goin from one newsboy to the next. I'm still searching for him, my real significant other, but it hasn't been easy. Now don't get me wrong, I'm no wench. I know my name may be a little deceiving, but there's no way I would give myself away to so many, no way. When I jumped it was kissing and favors rarely. Nothing more. *shakes her head* *knows she got off topic and said way too much* So I guess basically I'm here cause there is no where else to be, I like it here it just fits..ya know? *tilts her head to the side*

*shakes her head* Naw not really. *Loves music and theatre and can usually be founf in the attic writing or playing the piano when not selling*
