Whitford, Marissa Rose | District 10

Marissa is an average height for her age at 5'5. She's thin, only 100 pounds, because she doesn't often get a good meal. Marissa is very pale and covered in freckles. Her hair is very short and brown. It is cut as short as most of the boy's hair although lately she has grown it out, her eyes are a gorgeous hazel-green color.

As she comes from a rather poor district Marissa doesn't have access to many beauty products. That kind of stuff just isn't important to District 10. She doesn't wear makeup or shave her legs and her clothes are simple. Usually she wears boy clothes so she won't stand out in school. She knows she isn't very pretty but that's the last of her concerns.

Marissa has long legs so she is a fairly fast runner, this comes in handy when she is being bullied as she often is. She is often spotted with cuts and scrapes on her arms and legs from climbing trees and exploring the district with her few friends.

Marissa is shy and quiet around people she doesn't know. She prefers to spend her time outdoors in trees, just relaxing and people watching. She also loves to spend time with the many animals in the district. Her father got her a calf and she named it Rose, after her own middle name. She gets along better with Rose than she does with people, Rose follows after Marissa like she is her mother.

Marissa has never been the happiest of children because her mother is very hard on her, often telling Marissa that she isn't good enough. For this reason Marissa adores her father, who is always calling her his little angel. She has always been a daddy's little girl and she helps him milk the cows.

She's a tom boy and she likes to wear baggy boy's clothes and cut her hair very short. This makes her a target for bullying so in school she keeps her head down and doesn't talk much. She doesn't have a lot of friends but she's loyal to the few she has which are mainly boys. Marissa finds it hard to socialize and gets nervous is situations with many people.

Marissa was born on February 9th to Henry and Amelia Whitford. She was their second child although their first had died only minutes after birth. Amelia had never been a very maternal kind of person. At a young age Marissa realized that her mom wasn't very fond of her. This made her become much closer to her father than her mother.

When Marissa started school she was the shy girl who didn't have many friends but not many enemies either. That didn't last long however. When she was ten she developed a crush on one of the boys in her school. Word got out and everyone made fun of her for it. Marissa became even quieter and started to wear boy's clothes and cut her hair short.

After the incident the bullying just got worse and worse, Marissa eventually was physically bullied and the other kids in school would shove her and hit her. Her only friend, a boy a year older than her, always stood up for her though.

Eventually the two of them drifted apart. Marissa father realized how sad she had become and he bought her a calf to keep her mind off things. Marissa now spends most of her time with the calf, Rose, and helping her father milk the cows and the few goats they have. She currently has a few friends but she's not as close to any of them as she was to that friend she had years ago.

Not entirely sure if I'm doing this right, I'm new here.
