Here they are! The Newsie Girls.

I want to introduce to you to some incredible and amazing sisters.

The oldest of the sisters is Kelly. Because she's the oldest, she takes a large responsibility of leading the sisters. Sometimes that leads to resentment because sometimes the younger sisters don't understand. She's strong willed, objective, and loves a good competition. If Kelly wasn't doing some work, she was often with her cat as her cat brought her a lot of love and comfort.

The second sister is Ann. She has brown hair which makes her an odd ball in a family of tow headed girls. She is also deaf in both ears that require her to wear hearing aids. She still speaks but uses sign language from time to time. She had an instinct that allowed her to take care of others around her which she often did. Ann would often look after her younger sisters as any motherly figure would. Ann especially loved looking after babies and playing with younger kids. Ann is probably the most feminist girl in the family who cared very much how she looked and did everything with dignity.

Angie is my most favorite character of the Newsie Girls. She's the middle child and is certainly not one to sit in a corner and remain silent. No, no! Angie speaks her mind and means what she says. A tomboy at heart, she loved adventures and exploring. Angie is loyal to a fault but you never want to cross her path and Lord help you if you do.

Celeste is the most imaginative sister of the group. She loved to play pretend and fun games. She gets frustrated from time to time because she doesn't like being treated as "one of the youngest" but wants to be trusted to do more to help. She always wants to help others and feels bad when she can't.

Sarah is the baby of the family and often looked after by Ann. Sarah was also deaf and would often communicate to Ann in sign language. Sarah didn't always understand what was going on and had to trust her older sisters to make decisions often times which led to feeling frustrated and often impatient. Sarah, nonetheless, loved her older sisters and wanted to be with them.

There you are! The Newsie Girls. Each sister is a beautiful individual with defining characteristics that makes them each unique and interesting in their own way. I am so excited to share with you some of their many adventures as newsie girls and I hope you enjoy reading their stories.
