About Skylar Kenwick

She is a little, dirty thief that is very androgynous and does what she has too to survive. She's often mistaken for a boy due to her short hair, malnutrition, and lack of physical development. She has seen and committed deeds that would make many an adult frown, and is likely to repeat them or cause harm to others as a default if she feels threatened. This child's usually very hungry, and quick tempered partially due to it. With a shiv on her person at all times, she doesn't play well with others, and has a nasty bite to those who take her things, provided she can catch them on foot, that is.

Skylar is still a kid however; so when matters of survival are no longer an issue, she is very inquisitive and perceptive to those around her. 20 questions is a favorite game, whether it be about how to behave like a lady, or where that new bag came from, or why is the sky blue? She still hasn't gotten an answer for that last one. She is still naive on many aspects and holds to childish notions such as "honor amongst thieves" or "nobody likes a tattle-tale." Unfortunately though, this makes her more likely to resolve issues with children her own age, herself, which is often times violent.

She's unsocialized in normal circumstances and often remains quiet because of it, used to the harshness of the streets, but never the negotiation or business savvy know how of dealing with the market place. When she does speak, it is usually blunt and direct, only using things such as 'Ma'am' or 'Sir' for adults, particularly when near a large group of people. With quick hands and light feet, she usually is checking out a place to decide if she wishes to tempt fate and dip into peoples' pockets or not. She sleeps light and is likely to squat in an abandoned shelter or a makeshift lean-in away from most eyes if available to find or build (if she's fortunate enough to have rope that day).
