the females

» Amy Copeland [16, runaway]

Amy Copeland is a runaway with a serious paranoia problem. Raped and beaten as a child, Amy fears all men. She grew up with three older brothers and her father. Her mother died after giving birth to little Amy. She grew up frightful of her father, who would hit his daughter or sons to make them listen to him. At the age of six, she was already hiding in cupboards or her closet to hide from her father. When she was nine years old, Amy was raped for the first time by her father. The man had gotten incredibly drunk, and thought that his wife was home. When Amy began to struggle, he slapped her and misunderstood that this was his daughter he was about to rape, but his wife. Amy crawled away from him after he had raped her, and crawled into her room, and cried herself to sleep. None of her brothers ever dared question what had happened that night.

Amy grew up fearful of her father, and soon began to belittle herself and believe that the power she lost went to all men; everywhere she went she never went alone, in fear of being raped once more. She never went into the public bathrooms; she asked staff members to let her use theirs, in fear of being followed. Amy has a serious problem, and at the age of fifteen, ran away from home. Caught and brought to St Riddles in hysterics, the male members of facility have a hard time getting her to talk, let alone get anywhere close to the poor girl. Amy is pratically a lost case, but they wont give up. No. No they wont.

» Carissa Rodriquez [16, street rat]

Life is never easy for a street rat.
Nor was it any easier, for Ms. Carissa Rodriquez.
Abandoned at a gas station, Carissa was ten years old when she found a new life on the streets. She was always watched over by other beggars and street rats, and only when she was 13 did she realize that she needed a place to stay. Instead of bunking in at a woman’s shelter she continued to look around for a place to stay. Only then was she fourteen that she found herself in an adoption center, looking for a potential family to spend the rest of her life with. Six months of looking and Carissa soon found herself running away from the adoption agency and back to the life she knew.

In her first year back on the street, Carissa was raped and beaten. She turned to drugs to get her mind off of the terrible tragedy, and soon became addicted to cocaine, and heroine. The drug addicted street rat was soon found by St.Riddles, and has lived there until her 16th birthday. The place still allows her to do drugs, but not every day. With her addiction and her nightmares, Carissa still fights from her dilemma of her rape, and abandonment.

» Levi Robinson [17, street rat]

Levi was born into a wealthy family with hardly any problems, so his choice to runaway was purely for attention. But when he didn’t come back, the family began to wonder what in his life had gone wrong.
Levi was born a healthy child with no badness in him. When he turned three his father gave him a sports car (a kids one, not a real one), and for his sixth birthday he was rewarded with many gifts, like a dog, a bird, and a large allowance rise. But even those things couldn’t keep the boy happy. At the age of nine he left home for a week, returned for dog food since he had taken his dog, and left once more. But then he returned again three days later to tell his parents his dog had run off and he wanted to come back home. His family accepted him once more, and promised him to give him everything he wanted as long as he didn’t run off again.

Two years after his runaway incident, his father died from a sudden heart attack. It sent his mother into a drinking addiction, and ignored her only son for what seemed like the rest of his life. After turning 15, Levi told his sleeping mother that he was going to do her a favor and leave her to die in her own misery. He packed a few things, took his dog collar (which he had taken with him after his dog ran away) and left him. Spending two years out on the streets, he found St Riddles on his own, and applied for a place there. Being on of the older kids at the place, Levi tries to keep everyone under control, even if it means loosing those he thought were friends.
