Debbie Gallagher

Deborah "Debbie"/"Debs" Jean Gallagher aged 17, is one of the middle Gallagher children. Debbie will cover for others but is not brash or reckless like her older brothers. She forgives her father's neglect and irresponsibility as well as her mother's absence. She is very mature in some ways and therefore has trouble making friends with people her age. Like her siblings, Debbie knows clever ways to make money at a young age and she runs a business. She is one of the few of the Gallagher children to get along with Frank and even call him Dad several times though does call him Frank often.
