1. She always preferred her father over her mother. She doesn't know why.
Her father was always her favourite one out of her parents, when he died when she was just eleven years old of consumption she cried her heart out, she was a Daddy's girl.
2. She was the youngest of five, and hated it.
Her parents were both dead, and she wore ratty old clothes with rips and tears all over 'em. One day, her oldest brother Charley finds out about the people teasing her and gets in a fight with another boy because of it.
3. She cried when Charley was hung, and it was entirely on her.
It was my fault, she'd sob. If she hadn't tried pick pocketing and gotten caught, he wouldn't have got hung in the first place.
4. She never wanted to sell her body on the streets.
But she had to, to provide for her family, her mother always said. No matter how many times (rarely) she had the chance to wash, the guilt and dirtiness wouldn't scrub off.
5. She got pregnant when she was seventeen.
When she found out, she ran away. Ran away from life, and from her remaining family until she finds a new one. Fagin takes her in, feeds her and houses her on exchange for helping out.
6. She loved the boys, and Nancy.
She bonded with Fagin's boys over supper, and found the pick-pocketing bunch fairly decent. A week later, after she first arrived, met Nancy, for the first time, and she soon becomes the sister she never had - a good, kind soul.
7. She fell in love when she was pregnant.
He was a pick-pocket, a year or so older than herself. She never asked. He always was kind to her, and snuck her out one time to go watch the stars.
8. He died in the big house.
Liam's caught pick-pocket an elderly mans gold pocket watch by the police. He gets sentenced by the judge for thirty years to be spent in the big house - he doesn't last three months.
9. She names her son Charley after her brother.
When she gives birth, Nancy holds her hand tightly, squeezing it to give support. Henry - Liam's younger brother - and Fagin waited outside, calling their support on the other side of the wooden wall.
10. She gave her son to Fagin, and tells him to tell Charley that his parents are dead.
She knew that way he'd never know, because Fagin can keep a secret. She didn't want Charley to know she sold herself for money, because it was frowned upon in society. Charley grows up thinking his parents are dead.
