Hi! Will you tell us your Spot hc's please?
Hey!! Of course I will!! Thanks for the ask :) didn't know what exactly you wanted so you get ramblings, enjoy!!
(So I'm talking about uksies Spot here, in the show they're referred to as they, probably just for Surprise! Its girls! factor but i will be honoring it anyway)
In my mind, Spot came to power by accident, I like to think the Brooklyn girls were a subset of a massive group of Brooklyn newsies but Spot had such a reputation for looking after everyone in little ways that they were just naturally recognised as a leader. Tie someone's shoes here, make sure that one eats there, plait the little one's hair, cover for the sick kids etc. I'm imagining someone asking to speak to the leader of Brooklyn and everyone looks at Spot who's like 'What? Who me???' And that was that.
Spot has a reputation of being scary but honestly when you talk to them you realise they're just extremely chill and extremely protective. They've been hurt in life so their way of protecting is to set their girls on whoever seems like a threat. They're definitely one of those people who everyone is afraid of but if you ask their newspaper regulars they're like 'oh yes Spot, what a sweet kid, always saves me an evening edition'. The epitome of 'don't judge a book by its cover'.
After the strike Spot comes around to visit Manhattan quite a lot and the two boroughs become quite close, they develop a hilarious friendship with Davey who remains terrified of them bc that's just Davey but they also just chat shit together in fluent sarcasm.
Spot does the little ones' hair and then lets them do theirs. Its messy, occasionally painful, but adorble. Thats it thats the hc.
Spot and Race were childhood friends and he thinks it's hilarious that people are scared of them, he pretends to cower every time they meet and Spot acts annoyed but secretly loves it bc they know Race is one of the only people that really knows them.
Middle child vibes. Idk why. The kind that teams up with the eldest to look after the youngest.
Refuses to wear a skirt, ever. If they are given a skirt it will be chopped up.
Spot is angry but not as much as people think, they can't stand it when things are unjust and they have a short temper, but angry is not their default mood.
Uhh I'll post some more as I think of them but,, hope you like these anon!! They're a bit random but I hope you like them 🥰
