 The Street Kid B A S I C S Name: Trish Cortez
Nicknames: None yet!
Age: Seventeen
Birthday: May 10th
Nationality: American; Spanish heritage
Home/Status: Lynn District/Lower Class
School: Drop Out - Formerly attended Teufel Town High School
Font Color: #D40000 - Rosso CorsaP E R S O N A L I T Y Crude, crass, sarcastic, and a tomboy through and through, Trish Cortez has a personality that was shaped by time on the streets of Teufel Town and certainly makes her one you would not want to take home to mama.
Even as a child, Trish has always been a girl more inclined to skin her knees and roll around in mud than play with dolls or an Easy Bake Oven. This suited her just fine, as Trish is happiest being the rough and tumble tomboy who's crass and has a mouth that would make a sailor blush. She enjoys being 'one of the boys' and it definitely shows in her demeanor and her behavior around others.
As far as this goes, Trish does have a mouth on her and not just for swears. Opinionated, bold, and downright boorish, the girl is not afraid to speak her mind and will not hold back when she does, even at the expense of others feelings. She's definitely not the emotional, 'come here and cry on my shoulder' type, more likely to say a sharp 'build a bridge and get over it' than coddle someone. That's not to say she's totally heartless - she's not - but she has seen plenty of cases where the reaction was caused by something minor/insignificant/stupid or simply just a whiny attempt for attention that she'd become rather jaded. Hanging around a bunch of teenage boys who don't understand the emotions of women also helps that along as well. She's not mean; she's just a little tactless and perhaps a little too rough around the edges for some people to handle.
With these traits, Trish is added to by her attitude. Confident, cocky, and at times sarcastic with a dry, but crude sense of humor; this teenager is what you'd expect from someone her age when influenced by the people she hangs around with. She'd rather be out and about getting into trouble with her friends rather than at classes, believes herself to be untouchable at times, looks down on authority as stingy old folk who don't understand her and her gang because they are old, and skirts the line between good and bad with reckless abandon. She delights in getting into trouble and getting away before she gets caught, finding the adrenaline rush one of the greatest things in the world when it happens, and the later stories of such escapades something to brag about. Oh yes, she is especially prideful of her stories, even if she does exaggerate a little to make the tale more epic. If she's called out as such, she'll just shrug, throw a good-humored curse or riposte at the naysayer and continue on undeterred.
With all that said, there's only a few other things left to say about Trish. For what it's worth, the teen is loyal to those she considers friends. You have a problem and have Trish on your side? She'll ask how you want your situation dealt with - her left fist or her right fist, your choice. She's also not as dumb as some old farts might think even despite her lack of interest in formal education. Trish knows the value of strength in numbers, and though she has a prideful streak in her to prove herself as a capable fighter, she'll only grumble a little afterward if she has to call on help or if help arrives in a pinch. She also enjoys a challenge, even if she'd prefer to solve it with her brawn than her brain, and revels in all sorts of humor - raunchy or not - as well as action and horror movies (the more explode-y or gory respectively, the better). All in all, she's a teen - if not the most conventional one - and a teen she rather likes to be, thank you very much.F A C T S + T I D B I T S Likes: Her freedom, her gang, adrenaline rushes, movies, video games, tagging, getting into trouble, sleeping in...
Dislikes: Reading, whiners, when hot food gets cold, her parents' constant arguing, overly emotional types...
Hobbies: Tagging (even though she's terrible at it), jogging, playing video games, watching movies, playing basketball, sparring...
Favorite Movies: All the 'Saw' movies, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Fight Club, Die Hard, The Room, Hellraiser, Ransom, Texas Chainsaw Massacre...
Favorite Foods: Pizza, ribs (though she loves meat of any kind), ramen, tacos, nachos, spicy foods, sushi...A P P E A R A N C E When it comes to Trish and her appearance, what you see is what you get with no substitutions or alterations. Standing at roughly 5'5" when not slouching, Trish is a girl of a lean, scrappy build. Her arms and legs - not too long but not short either - are highlighted with "guitarist"-type muscles and though she is well past puberty, her curves are rather undefined. Her bust is small - on the larger side of an A-cup at best - and despite her Spanish heritage the girl is rather flat all around. She doesn't mind this though; less mass to her makes her that much harder to hit.
Hair and eye-wise, Trish is something of a colorful bird. Her hair is a short pixie cut with bangs that just skirt her eyebrows; the color therein being a dark navy blue with said bangs dyed yellow instead of bleached blonde. As far as eyes go, they are a vivid red which with her hair compliments her naturally tanned skin rather nicely. When it comes to her head, Trish's jaw is triangular and attached to an oval shaped face. A beauty mark sits just beneath her right eye on her high cheekbone, but it's small and may likely go unnoticed unless one were to get up close with her. She's not a supermodel by any stretch, but she'll easily admit she's not butt ugly either, even if she does not care less about make up and skin care.
When it comes to clothing, like hair and make up, Trish doesn't bat an eye or even acknowledge the latest fashions. She would rather strangle herself with her own belt than be caught in something girly and thus her wardrobe is decidedly tomboyish. Shorts, tank tops, capris, cargo pants, t-shirts...It's all in there, but her usual wear is a plain white tank top with camo cargo pants tucked into shiny, shin-high black combat boots with the laces double-knotted. Given her activities and time spent getting into fights more than going to class, Trish also wears gloves or wraps her hands in bandages to keep them safe. It's also not uncommon to see her with a bruise, cut, scab, scar, band aid, or bandage somewhere on her as well. Not one for jewelry, Trish wears no bangles, bobbles, or trinkets on her wrists, neck, anklets, or otherwise, but her right ear is graced with two small silver barbell studs while the left is vacant of anything but two long-healed pinprick holes. She is also known to don a denim jacket when the weather gets cool.

History + Family H I S T O R Y As with most histories, life starts with the parents. Trish's father and mother met as many people do - in passing - with friendship, romance, and marriage coming later down the line. After the first blossomed into the second, the third step in their relationship came about a year and a half after the second became official. Trish came about three years later as a happy accident after both parents had given up trying to make a child happen.
Trish's early years were normal, or at least normal from her standpoint. Her mother and father got along well and although they didn't have much, they got by all the same. Trish always had the things she needed - even if toys were a little sparse on birthdays and Christmas - and for the young girl life was just fine.
When Trish was old enough, she was placed in Teufel Town's public school system and it seems from here things started to get a little rough. Her parents schedules had to be shifted or altered in order to get her from their home in the Lynn District to the school out in the Apple District. This caused some stress and strain - the only car her parents had was her father's work truck and money had always been tight so a yearly bus pass made them have to stretch things a little more - but even then, the Cortez family managed. Although not a straight A student, Trish did well and her parents were happy - hoping that their daughter would go on to be a doctor or a lawyer or at the very least make something of herself and get out of the oftentimes dangerous Lynn District. This was not to be.
Around the summer before Trish was to start the fifth grade, her father was laid off from his job as a repairman. Trish's mother took on a second job to help compensate for the loss of income while her husband tried looking for similar employment. For the most part he was unsuccessful, and this turn of events began a long and still ongoing battle between man and wife over funds. Though her parents argued, they did try to hide it from their still young child - doing so most commonly when she was asleep. Of course, not everything remains a secret forever and near the end of her fifth grade year Trish did wake up during one of her parents arguments. She watched them shout and rave at each other, throw obscenities she had not yet heard of, threaten each other with divorce, and make violent gestures at one another even though they were spread a room's length apart. Of course, being a child, Trish wanted mommy and daddy to stop fighting, so she revealed herself. That stopped her parents fight right then and there, but unbeknownst to her it started up again as soon as both adults were assured that their daughter was asleep once more.
Now aware of her parents near-nightly arguments, Trish was put on edge. She became less inclined to ask for things when out and about with her mother or father, tried to not make a fuss out of the little things, and even stopped asking for help on her homework, thinking those things only added to the stress her parents were dealing with. She even tried being more conscientious to her mother and father, but of course Trish wasn't the cause to begin with, so her small contributions didn't make so much as a ripple against the tidal waves that her parents griefed each other with. In time, this put stress on Trish, especially since as she grew, her parents seemed to stop trying to hide their arguments and did so more and more out in the open whenever they were in the house together. None of this ever escalated into physical violence, but the shouting, name calling, threats of this and that, etc dug its roots into Trish and she quickly began to sink into the mire.
This took effect in her grades. Growing more disenchanted as her parents fought more than they seemed to get along, Trish started to slip with her homework. She didn't do it, didn't study, didn't pay attention in class. In turn, her grades began to fall. In time, it began to affect her disposition. A once happy girl became easily made cross and despite living in a bad area of Teufel Town, she began to leave the house simply to take walks in order to get away from all the shouting. When she was in 8th grade, Trish even started fighting with her parents, which ended with Trish slamming the door to her room or the front entrance if she just couldn't take it anymore. Of course, her parents were oblivious - so tied up in their feuds that they wouldn't even realize Trish had gone until she had come back home...Which only started up more rows when they demanded to know the whens and wheres.
By the time she had reached the age of fourteen, Trish had finally had enough. One particular argument sent the teen off running from her home at nearly eight at night. In tears from what had transpired, she ran from one of the more "safe" parts of the Lynn District into one that was not so friendly. Letting her feet carry her and her head to fogged with anger to care where she was, Trish bumped into a pleather jacket wearing teen a couple years older than herself. Not even in the mind to apologize, Trish was only made to stop after the boy she had so rudely jostled made a (what he felt was) humorous quip. This was the final key to Trish's lock and she lashed out at him with a punch. All holds were off then and the two fought, with the boy playing defense more than offense. Ten minutes later, both Trish and this other teen were slumped against a wall, bruised and exhausted. Both were quiet for some time, but soon enough the one who made the untimely quip broke the ice with another one.
"So...Feel better now?"
Trish could only stare at him then, but she slowly nodded her head to agree. Her opponent-turned-companion could only laugh and from there explained how he tended to feel the same after such altercations as well as a bevvy of other things that stretched from relevant to off topic to off color. Trish only stared at the teen for most of the time they sat there but soon enough both were wandering the back alleys and side streets of Lynn District, making idle chitchat. This teen, Matt, was like Trish in many ways. A Lynn boy himself, his family wasn't the best of sorts and most of the time in "dire straights" when it came to money. He explained to Trish that she wasn't the only one, and that hell, even with him making her single a duo, that they weren't the only ones either. That same evening, Matt introduced Trish to the group of misfits and outcasts that Trish would later come to know and love as her second (but "true") family.
From that point on, Trish began to spend more and more time with that gang of teens and less and less time at home when she could help it. She grew truant, and when it came to grades she was sitting somewhere around the D- marker. She got into scraps, all out fights, and did other delinquent things and felt genuinely happy when doing them. She felt free when mucking about with her friends and no matter what her parents said or tried to do, she would always find a way back to their hideout - or at the very least Matt's apartment. Trish was now "too far gone" as someone might put it, and she couldn't be happier for it.
Presently, Trish has now dropped out of high school (but has yet to tell her parents). She's called it quits and like many of her friends believes education serves her no purpose. She lives in the now, for the now, and no one can make her say or do otherwise. She even boasts that if someone tried to stop her, she'd just give them a black eye for the trouble they would be trying to cause.F A M I L Y - Herman Cortez: Trish's father. Once a repairman for a rather large electronics and appliance corporation, he was laid off when Trish was in elementary school. Since then he has struggled with periods of unemployment dotted with scattered months of underpaid, overworked employment and has become rather disenchanted with the world at large.
- Lydia Cortez: Trish's mother. She holds down two - occasionally three - jobs at a time in order to try and make ends meet. At present she juggles being a grocery store manager and a hair stylist but the stress of those, her home life, and her daughter's choices are truly starting to take its toll.
- Matt Bowman: Trish's best friend. He's two years older than her (making him 19 ) and was the one who introduced her to the gang of misfit kids she runs with now. He's not the brightest bulb in the socket and has a habit of running his mouth at unsavory times, but he has Trish's back whenever she needs it.
- The Gang: A group of lower class (and occasionally middle class) teens who came together over common interests and situations. Although they can fight amongst each other over petty things, each member is as loyal to the next and they act as a family unit.
