District Twelve- the place of ashes. It's probably one of the most dirtiest and poorest districts in Panem. Sad, isn't it?

I'm fifteen though my birthday's coming up soon. In fact, it takes place during the games... Sucks, huh?

Like most people in District twelve, I have olive skin though my deep blue eyes are what set me apart. My hair is a long wavy blonde. I am not very tall but I'm not very short either, though I guess I am pretty thin.
- This is what I look like. -

I'm nice, I guess, and I'm not as temperamental as most people. I'm not very trusting and prefer to stay by myself, though I wouldn't mind a friend or two. I'm very clever, though I may not show it, and don't really like being ordered around. But I guess I'll do whatever it takes to survive. It's a cruel world out there and I'm gonna make sure I make my way out of it...

I was born to a teacher, my mother, and a coal farmer. I never really knew my father since he died in a coal mining incident when I was only five. From then on, my older brother took it upon himself to take care of me and my mother. Like my father, he worked in the coal mines, him and my mother barely scraped up enough to get us a warm meal on our table every night and have enough to help me learn. My brother had not taken part in the Games, being lucky enough to escape getting chosen during the reaping, even with the extra Tessera he signed up for.

I loved my brother dearly. When we were young and our mother was off at work, we would go hunting beyond the fence. He taught me to hunt and run as fast as any huntsman. He, along with my mother whom often brought books home from school, would teach me about plant-life, such as which ones were safe and which were deadly. Even though hunting in the woods was forbidden, I had always trusted my brother. He said that we would always be safe and said he would always be there to protect me. And like always, I believed him. The coal mines had always been dangerous, so it was no surprise that there was an explosion in the underground mines. The only real surprise was that my brother was one of the victims, dying along with dozens of others when I was only eleven. He had made a promise to me, the he would always be there, but he lied and left me and my mother alone, with no support other than each other.

After that, my mother was a bit hung with grief, her job had become busier with the rising population of the District and it's decrease as well, with the growing of illness and poverty. There seemed to be no time for me, so I minded to myself and became a bit of a loner. After my brother's death, I didn't have much trust for people, and I still don't, which causes me to not have many good friends. When the time came for me to participate in the reaping, I signed up for extra Tessera at once. My mother didn't bring home much money, as teachers were not paid very well, so I had to fill in my brothers spot as the supporter for the family. When my first three reaping's came around, I was glad and relieved to know I would not take part in the games. However, I wasn't as lucky when my fourth came around... and now I'm stuck here. Forced into an arena with no way out. Aren't I lucky?

I am very strong and a fast runner, though I'm not very buff in appearance. Long-range? I'm not very good at it, although I am fairly well in melee combat and hand to hand combat. I'm very good with plants and camouflage and I am an great climber. Though I'm not good with animals and the same goes for traps. I'm excellent at hunting, if thats a skill.

Since were allowed to bring one token into the Arena, I have a locket my brother gave me as a present when I was ten. The chain was taken from me because I could use it as a weapon, apparently. I seem to be rather popular with the media, due to my apparent "beauty". It's starting to feel like all this is, is a popularity contest.
