Gravel Gertie was a woman who lived in a gravel pit in a rural area outside Dick Tracy's city. She was depicted as extremely homely, with bulging eyes, crooked teeth, a wiry figure and a hairy upper lip. She also has two dark scars on her left forearm from an accident in a sawmill when she was young. She has long, silky hair and a beautiful singing voice. She is also skilled at playing the mandolin. Gertie has stated that her father died of a dope habit. It is not known what had become of Gertie's mother. Gertie has a younger sister known as "Agate Aggie". Gertie has informed her husband that she is 1 of 8 sisters. Their birth order has not been established, and it is unclear how many of them are still living. It is not known if she has any other living family, or what her surname was before she married B.O. Plenty. After her father's death, Gertie was raised in an orphanage in Abbeyville. While at the orphanage, a treasure map was tattooed onto her scalp. After her hair regrew, the map was not found until well until her adulthood. During her first encounter with Dick Tracy, Gertie claimed to have been a widow for thirty years (see Notes below). She had previously owned a farm, which her unnamed first husband had sold in order to purchase their gravel pit. He was later killed when he backed his car into the gravel pit (apparently an accident).
