Willow's Characters

Name: Willow Owens

Age: 16

Gender: Female

District/Area: District 10



Appearance:
Willow has semi long, sandy blonde, fairly close to a light brown, hair, with bangs that hang over her face slightly, parted to the right. It falls just under her shoulder blades close to her mid back. She usually wears it down and loose, but pulls it back if it gets in her way when at work.

Her eyes are a mix of olive and chocolate, leaning towards a muddy brown closer to the pupil, and slowly fading out to it's muted grew at the edge of the iris.

Her face is slim built, as is the rest of her, weighing close to 124 pounds, and standing at 5 feet, 6 inches. She is fairly straight and boyishly built. She has a small bust as well because of this. She also does not seem very muscular and her limbs are skinny. However, she is very toned, mostly in her legs from daily long distance running.

Her tunic has three-quarter length sleeves, tan, with a lace up in the front under her collar bone. Her baggy shorts come down to her knee, a bleached blue in color and cuffed at the bottom. Her simple brown sandles are rather torn and worn down, lacing around her tows with leather strips.

Personality:
Willow acts rather like an adult in her attitude, and lives by the rule that every other person in the world is out to get you. Growing up in conditions where its every man for himself, whether through the televised Hunger Games, or just within her District, it's not hard to see why.

She's fairly nonchalant towards those she does not now, but the icy exterior melts away around those she is familiar with, like her father, and their few intimate friends.
History:
Born the second child to her mother and father, Willow's life was fairly normal. Normal child, normal older brother, normal sibling rivalries with older brother, and normal love-hate relationship with her mother through her preteen years.

She and her older brother Exavior, who is about three years older than her, are nearly attached at the hip, once they got through the rough ages where they despised each other. He taught her things to get by in life, how to bit her tongue during the reaping, fishing, helped her with her studies. Since last year was his last year to be entered in the reaping, he's more protective than ever, it seems to her, and he absolutely is dreading the next reaping.

Her father works in Negotiation in District 10, bargaining in trade and stock. It's a difficult business. And competing with the Capitol makes there simply little trades seem like minuscule things. But it puts food on the table. Quite often, Willow will visit her father down at his office by the river where the traders come in. She could easily be described as a Daddy's girl.

Her mother simply runs things at home, making sure Willow gets to school, once things she despises, being fed worthless information when she could be helping her family.

Willow quite enjoys to spend most of her time near the river, the area that isn't bombarded by ships, the calm area. Swimming is a common activity for her, even though her brother is so paranoid about it, as her mother. So most of the time this is done in secret.
