School: Got her GED at 16.


Hobbies:

Acrobatics – As a child, London's parents dreamed that she would be a super star. They signed her up for dance, singing, and gym lessons and packed her days so full that she couldn't remember a time when she didn't have something to do. Unfortunately for her star struck parents, the only thing that really stuck was acrobatics. She had a natural talent but, when times fell short, her parents stopped paying for lessons and the majority of her knowledge became self taught from things like parkour videos and outdated gymnastic movies from the early 90s.

Street Performing – When London ran away from home at 16 she had little to offer the world. She fell into the society of street performers once she saw the variety they had to offer. She loves good fairs or street festivals but will line up along side any open booths to show off her acrobatic skills for a few dollars.

Pick Pocket – Hey, street performing is a hard life okay?


Virtues:

Loyal – It may not appear so at first but London has a deep loyal streak. It unfortunately only extends to those that have fallen into her inner circle – those people she could probably count on one hand, or maybe one finger. She is fiercely loyal to her sister, Dublin in a way that very few others have ever experienced. If anyone managed to reach the same level of affection she has for her sister, or even close, she would fight to save them until she had no fight left. She's taken punches for her sister, gotten caught so she could get away, and any other number of things that her older sister status requires of her.

Liar – It isn't that London is just a good liar, she's a brilliant actress. She had no taste for the acting lessons her parents shoved her into, mostly because TV and movies didn't appeal to her. She learned a thing or two about a poker face and how to fake about any over done female emotion that the starlets had to offer. She can cry on the drop of a dime or stare down a foe without flinching. She's good at making herself believable and that translates well into getting away with just about anything.

Shameless – London doesn't put much into whether or not her hair is perfect or what designer's jeans she's wearing. She'll sleep on a park bench and brush her hair with a twig if she has to and never bat an eyelash at it. She's used to barely scraping by and having to make ends meet in some peculiar ways and her appearance is often the first thing that suffers when she's lacking money. If she was worried about how she appeared to the world, she would have failed at survival ages ago.

Observant – Living on the streets can be a rough life and the naïve are the first to fail. London has long since taken to studying her surroundings in the case of an ambush, or being caught. She never jumps into a situation without knowing a way out and has gotten pretty good at reading other people. It's just one more way to avoid getting caught.


Flaws:

Morally Gray – Sometimes London has a hard time differentiating between right and wrong. She doesn't sweat the little things – pickpocketing, petty theft, vandalism. If it benefits her without killing someone, she's probably going to do it. She lives with a dog-eat-dog mindset and sometimes society's rules don't mesh with what she considers to be necessary for survival.

Distrusting – It's no wonder that someone used to stealing and trickery would have trust problems. Outside of her sister, London is always on the look out for someone trying to trap her or turn her in for any number of criminal acts. She doesn't like men in suits, anyone wearing a blue tooth (that could totally be a wire) and if she feels like she's being followed she will take a dip into a dark alley until she feels safe.

Liar – One can never be too sure what London's real intentions are. Although being able to lie well and fool others is a great virtue, it also means that anyone that spends more than a day in her presence usually begins to question what her real motives are. She doesn't give off a very 'trust me' air, but then she probably doesn't try. It's hard for London to make friends for this reason alone, as she either doesn't trust them or they don't trust her.

Cocky – London has a small problem with being overly confident. She'd never walk into a situation she didn't think she could get out of but sometimes what she thinks actually turns out to be wrong. Just because she thinks she has an easy way out doesn't always mean that she does and she's been caught, or nearly caught, many times just by being too confident in herself and her abilities. It translates over into her opinion of herself as well. Even if she doesn't care about her appearance, she still acts confident about it. She tends to think she's the smartest, funniest and most clever person in a room unless really proven otherwise.
