Character Name: Jonathan Snoddy
Nick Names: Snoddy
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Occupation: Manhattan Newsie
Physical Description (pictures don't cut it, EXPLAIN how they look): Tall (about 5'9½”), well built, dark-brown hair.
Picture of character:
Personality: Can be quiet and awkward, very loyal and stubborn, a lot smarter than people give him credit.
History: Jonathan was born September 23, 1882 to Henry and Alice Snoddy. He lived fairly happily with his family until he was 8. His father lost his job, leaving the family with much less income. Jonathan insisted that he would start selling papers to make some of the money and dropped out of school to do so. The following winter his mother became ill and died. This broke his father’s heart, making him depressed and led him to start drinking to cope with the loss. Jonathan continued selling papers to support himself and his father, due to his father’s inability to now keep a job. A month before his 13th birthday he left his father and opted to live on the streets rather than deal with his father’s depression anymore. As winter approached, he was talked into staying at the Lodging House by one of the older boys. Feeling guilty for leaving, he went to visit his father the following year, only to be told that his father had moved elsewhere. Now he checks the papers everyday to see if anyone matching his father’s description is in them. Also, with the help of the older boy who has now left the Lodging House, he follows up any lead he can get on his father’s whereabouts.
