Personality Quirks: Loves her coffee or coke in the morning with her cigarettes.  Won't eat breakfast as a general rule.  Often eats small amounts during the day and not big meals.  Will stock pile items as she gets things.  If she thinks she'll need it in the future she'll squirrel it away.  Is very capable at shop lifting.


History

General History:Moira was found in a garbage can when she was a baby. She was a crack baby and they were unsure how long she'd been in the can before being found.  By some miracle she survived and was put into the foster care system. 

Due to medical problems she was never adopted and was bounced from house to house.  Some houses were pretty good but others were a nightmare.
She tried telling the authorities on these places but that just made things worse. 

She then tried running away and living on the streets but eventually they would find her and send her back to where she'd been or sometimes to other places after she'd run away enough.  Finally though she ended up at a group home due to her excessive running away.

She discovered her ability when she was twelve and was doing a science project. She'd always been good with plants but this was the first time she'd actually caused them to speed up.  She knew enough to keep it secret even though she had a bit of trouble explaining why there were vines all over her room.

She continued to run away though since the group home wasn't better then the streets.  She earned money by singing on the street corners.  She'd usually earn enough to at least get by although a few times she had to supplement her income by going with men or by stealing. 

She did have some run-ins over the years with pimps and drug pushers but she learned how to stay clear of them quickly.  She took a few hard knocks sometimes but she managed not to get hurt too severely.
