When he finds the right person he’s not letting them go. He’s a mild alcoholic- he drinks a lot. Mush is his best friend- (he may be in love with Mush BUT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT-). Real name Louis Balletti, he can and willl fight you, he has pretty bad anger issues and is constantly bruised up from fights.

Itey is short for Italian, the other newsies probably nicknamed him that because he looks so italian. he has olive skin, a roman nose, and dark brown, very curly hair. Itey fiddles with his suspenders, which could be a nervous tic or a stim. In Carrying the Banner, we see that Itey has Snitch’s feet in his face, so he’s probably  too nice to wake Snitch up.
