Description of Ella Shanks:

One of Daisy’s twins. She assists her mother in disposing of the bodies of women who perish during abortions, selling them to medical students for dissection. More sinister than her brother. She also works as a messenger alongside Rob. She often poses as a beggar and spies on Lena’s enemies, sometimes assists Lena in her fence shop, prying gems out of stolen jewelry and melting down the gold. Her adorable looks and childish charm fool most people. Age 8-10.
