Appearance: Kitty has tangled, wavy brown hair, sharp brown eyes, and a thin, watchful face. She is generally seen in a faded green print dress with a shawl crossed over her chest and tied behind her back. She doesn't own shoes, and the soles of her feet are as tough as leather and quite black.

What they Carry: A string bag for her findings - and whatever else she has picked up today.

Strengths: Sharp eyes, nimble fingers, an excellent idea of the street value of anything she may find.

History: The above has pretty much been her life since she was old enough to walk and pick things up. Born and raised in the East End of London.
