Sylvie Ophelia Frump was born in June 17 1839 at home. Her parents name were Ruth Ackerman and Thomas Frump. Her father was a player and never really cared for Sylvie and favored Harry, her youngest sibling. Her mother was extremely timid and never confronted Thomas. After Harry's birth, she fled and never returned. Alice was the oldest by a year while Harry was younger by three. Alice and Sylvie where extremely close and suffered the most during childhood, Alice being the oldest was forced to cook and clean until her hands blistered. Sylvie helped the best she could but every day she blamed her mother for leaving. Years later Thomas lost his job and became an angry alcoholic, leaving his children to fend for themselves. Sylvie was a stubborn teenager who refused any help from her sister, feeling guilty about Alice doing everything. After Alice and Harry went to bed she would sneak out and work at a Saloon down the road. There she served drinks and danced for the customers. While the boys fell head over heels Sylvie never cared for men, instead found herself looking at the women in their big skirts. However, even with her new job she could hardly afford food, so she took on a life of crime. She despised alcoholism because that's what caused her father to be violent, so she targeted the drunk in the bar and alleyways. She became a famous mugger and pickpocket, and if anyone challenged Sylvie, she would stab them with her small knife. She had to be careful though, because a dangerous mob was just down the road. The Addams Family is what they called themselves. life became bearable for Sylvie and her siblings until Alice came home one day, devastated. She told Sylvie someone had stolen her mothers pearl necklace, the only thing she had to remember Ruth. Sylvie was furious and promised Alice she would return the pearls. She knew who took them. Felipe, Samuel, Julián, Sebastián, Isabella, and Eudora were her targets. Felipe was the oldest brother and meanest. He was known to be cruel to his victims and showed no mercy. Julián was a charmer, and often got her way. As the middle child, she was drawn to chaos and shiny things her siblings would never let her have. The youngest sibling was Eudora who was only 12. She wasn't skilled with a knife, but used poison, a bit too well. Samuel and Sebastián were twins and close cousins with Felipe. They both had a nac for picklocks and escaping bad situations. Isabella was a badass, nothing more or less. Together they made the dreaded Addams family, and Sylvie knew they were behind the stolen pearls. At the saloon, she saw Julián and Felipe strode up to the bar stools. She saw Julián wearing the silvery pearls and knew what her next move was. Felipe left early leaving Julián drunk alone, Sylvie invited her to the alley for some " Business", where she made her move. One quick flick of a knife and the pearls fell into her hand. Before she could counter back on Julián, a sting of pain hit her side. She had been stabbed. Sylvie quickly pulled the knife out of her and staggered to the wall, then pounced on Julián. They rolled on the disgusting alley floor, until Sylvie was on top of Julián. She held the knife up and brought it down on Juliáns chest. Again and again until blood splattered the floor, wall, and Sylvia's face. She hadn't meant to kill her, it was a mistake...she just wanted the pearls back, but Sylvie felt the rush of adrenaline as sticky blood ran down her hands. Quickly darting through a backdoor, she washed her face and arms until all that remained was Juliáns battered body in the alley. She left it there and went home. When Sylvie returned, Alice was waiting for her. Alice's eye was puffy and her nose was crooked. Broken, probably. Before Sylvie could speak, Alice calmly said, "Where were you? Father looked everywhere for you. I did too. We all thought you ran away until father discovered your secret life at the bar." Sylvie stood, her heart stopped and her mouth hung open slightly. "I told you to leave it to me, why did you go out after I told you not to?" Alice now shouted.
