Backstory: (Note: I know it's not very well written but I've been working all day at it and I need to sleep)
When jacky was a little kid, she'd often ask her mom where daddy was, but she's never give a straight answer And eventually she just stopped asking. One day, years later, a letter arrived in the mail. As her mother was reading it, shestarted crying and threw the letter in the crash, told Jacky not to worry about it and went upstairs. Jacky, overcome with curiosity, picked the letter out of the trash and began reading.
Dear Mrs. Farmer,
I regret to inform you that your former husband has passed away last week during a police raid. His funeral will be held next sunday.
At this point Jacky's mom Came back downstairs and snatched the letter from her hands, but at that point Jacky was demanding to go, and knowing there was nothing she could do to stop her, she caved in and got them both train tickets.
That sunday, before the funeral, Jacky's mom told her the story of how she met her father the first time. "You see, back before you were born, I didn´t have a lot of money, and I made most of it... 'Kissing' men for money. Your dad worked for the 'bank' at the time, making dure people payed their loans back. We worked for the same man, and we fell in love.". "But if Dad worked for the bank and you kissed people, how'd you work for the same guy?" Wondered Jacky aloud. "Shush honey" 'answered' her mom. "Anyway, after a few months, I got pregnant with you, and we decided that it'd be the best for you if you grew up away from the city."
After the funeral and hundreds of tears, Jacky told her mom she wanted to find out what her dad did and stay in the city. Her mother, figuring Jacky'd probably give up after a few days, but also wanting her to be safe during that time, called her old boss and explained the entire situation. He gave Jacky a position selling goods in the alleys, figuring the kid'd bescared out of her wits at the end of the first day, but neither expected Jacky to be so tenacious, nor so good at the job, and she's been working here for about a month.
Appearance: Shoulderlength blond hair and blue eyes, and basically just like a tenyearold. Brought a variety of clothes for diffrent occasions and looks.
