Like any story, to understand our characters and truly feel their story we need to start at the very beginning. In the streets of the great city of Everglade we see a young small but mighty blonde girl scavenging to streets to find her next meal. The young cunning girl observes her surroundings for weaknesses in those around her. This young girl just shy of 11 has grown up here, this is her playground. The world isn't always kind, she has learned to live with this. She has faced a many hard ship, but like a beacon of light she rises above. While when of the bakers isn't paying attention, she grabs a loaf of bread. Little did the rascal know that she was being watched by the sheriff across the street. Just as she grabs it, the sheriff makes his way towards her to arrest her. Out of the corner of her eye at the last minute, the young Emma spots the sheriff and starts to make a dash for it.
"Stop, Street Rat!" hollers the sheriff.
"Not today, Sheriff" the blonde thief says cheekily with her devilish smile. She dashes behind a corner to get away.
A small girl sitting around the corner, spots the young blonde running around the corner and for some reason, she felt compelled to help the girl. She looked like she could help the sneaky girl. "Hey, come this way, I know a place to hide"
Emma glanced at the young brunette wrapped in a ratted red cloak look quite like herself. Something inside her told her to trust the girl, that she could help and maybe be a friend. In a split-second decision, she followed the girl down a hidden alley way and hide behind a couple of barrels. They hunkered down and stayed quiet to listen for the oncoming sheriff. A few seconds passed and the sheriff went speeding paced. As he passed, the girls let out a breath of relief for having evaded the authorities. Both girls looked at each other and let out a laugh.
"That was a close one, haha. It's nice to meet you, I'm Ruby" the small brunette surrounded in red extended her hand to her new-found companion.
"Thanks for the help, hahaha. It's nice to meet you Ruby, I'm Emma" The young witty blonde shook the extended hand. This felt like the start to an amazing and lasting friendship. Having made a new friend and being grateful for her help, Emma split the loaf of bread in two and gave half to Ruby.

Just as the rounded a more secluded area of the alley, the stumbled upon a few kids that couldn't be more that 5 or 6.

They recall the long lonely nights where the stomach rumbling wouldn't stop. When looking into the glassy eyes filled with fear of the young ones, the girls could see their reflections and immediately knew what they had to do. The girls looked at each and each split their pieces of bread in two once again. They gave one piece to each of the four children. They look of sheer joy and love in the faces of the young ones was something neither girl would soon forget. This is how the girls knew how they would spend the rest of their lives.
