Fanny O'shea
I'd love to get in on this as well.
My character would be an old childhood friend of Jackson. She was several years younger than him (or his son or nephew if he is an older gentlemen) but they played together since they lived in the same block. Her family moved to brooklyn but she kept in touch, mainly because she always had a bit of crush on him as a girl and because she has shared his affinity for the macabre and unusual.
Fanny's father, a salty irish cop under the employ of famed agent Eliot Ness*, was recently killed as a result of a mob war over illegal alcohol. Killed in his townhouse as part of mob hit, he was gunned down by a machine gun. As a strong willed irish woman, she has a resentment of the itallian mafia's influence in New York, but surprising doesn't pin her father's death on the mafia or itallians in general, but rather on the whole of prohibition. She feels that it has fostered a criminal element that would be absent were the rules lifted. She was studying law at Collumbia University when he died and flunked out over his death. As a result she has tried to act against prohibition through civilian protests and recently mounted a letter writing campaign. Her father had always wanted a boy, an issue that led to his eventual divorce, and as such raised Fanny to be a tom-boy. She is perfectly comfortable with a pistol or punching men in the face, but prefers to use her feminine whiles when appropriate. He New York apartment is cluttered with newspapers containing articles about prohibition. She had actually been wanted to look up Jackson as she was wanting to reconnect with old friends.
*-I know that Ness operated arround '31 rather than 25 but I'm willing to fudge that historical innaccuracy. Yes, she is the daught of Connery's character from the Untouchables.
