Amanda

It's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you. ~ Rebecca Katherine Martin Background Hollywood has a multitude of people who come, try to make it, and fail. Some of them just go home again. Some fall into a bad crowd and end up being taken advantage of. Some get into drugs to kill the pain. And then there's people like Amanda, who when it didn't work out, simply chalked it up to another failed attempt at 'odd jobs' and, rather than going back home, decided to stick around LA instead. A jack-of-all-trades, Amanda tends to fall in and out of jobs at a rapid pace, growing bored with one and moving on to the next to spice things up a bit, before potentially circling back to older ones when the feeling of novelty returns. In between jobs, she often makes money with a variety of methods: anything from scrounging, to 'magnet fishing' or metal detecting on beaches, to curbsiding and dumpster diving for saleables and scrapping. Not too proud to panhandle or busk, not too dignified to join a bikini car wash, if it seems like it might be fun to do and make a little money (or something that can work in place of money or be sold for money) then there's a high chance she'll give it a try. And even if it doesn't make a cent, if it's something she's not familiar with, she'll probably ask you to show her how it's done and try to pick it up for a laugh (or a future job). Of course, old wounds leave their mark, both physically and mentally: Amanda frequently walks with a cane, keeps a trained emotional service bird, and bears plenty of physical scars to speak of her 'street cred'. Apparently, living rough on the streets holds a lot of hard stories, though one can't ignore her love for people even after all that time and strain. RP Hooks Urban Survival: She scrounges, scrap-sells, dumpster dives, et al, as well as doing odd-jobs for cash. Must Love Birds:Feeds pigeons and ducks in the park for fun, has an emotional support parrot. Quick Learner: Can observe a skill and begin practicing soon afterward. Contacts Atsuko - As good as family. And thank you for your service... Beau - Odd, odd man. A good neighbour, though; anyone who loves pigeons as much as he does is a friend of mine.. Lilie - You're never going to have to feel alone again. Not if I can help it.
