Background
People are mean. Especially kids. There are those who fit in, and make themselves more important by stepping on others.
And then there are the stepped on.
You can probably guess which Maria is. Her petite stature and rumors of Romani heritage were enough for the Mean Girls to single her out. Her friends were subjected to ridicule for slumming, and interested boys were bullied in shows of power by the popular kids.
Maria's school days were finally ending by the time the girl bloomed late, body finally looking feminine, and losing her baby fat to reveal an enchanting, delicate face.
Her home life, unfortunately, was no respite from her nightmarish school life. With a drunk and abusive father and an adulterous mother strung out on pain pills, it was little wonder she'd foregone that life for one on the streets.
Getting by, sleeping in shelters, squats, even the occasional carboard box. Doing odd jobs for a meal, or panhandling to get by. L.A. is a glitzy town, but behind the facade is a dark place that Maria has come to know too well.
RP Hooks
Homeless:Crashing in your building's stairwell or under your porch. Looking for a handout. Lifting your wallet.
Odd jobs: Unload a shipment. Shelve items in a store. Maid work, cooking, even giving massages. Maybe someday she'll start her own business if she finds success in those.
Damsel in Distress: Need someone to rescue?
Darkness: Life isn't easy. Bad things happen to good people and there are monsters int he world. Dark writing can be enjoyable, just let me know what you want to do.
Disrobing to Pay a Debt: Helping a friend has her in a bad way with a loan shark. Begging shifts as a dancer at the Pleasure Dome strip club is barely keeping up with the interest.
