Nadene Albertine, District Seven

Name: Nadene Agrippine Albertine
Age: 17
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 7
Appearance:

Nadene falls slightly below the "average height" category. She is about 5'3. Despite Nadene's small size, she has broad shoulders. Nadene is said to have inherited her father's shoulders, and the rest she inherited from her Mother. Her hands are small, thin and petite. She is skinny, but is not dangerously thin. Her legs are long, and are built more for speed than strength.

Her hair is a reddish brown shade, leaning more so to the brown shade. She usually ties her hair back in a braid or a short ponytail. Her hair is very thin and easy to groom, but Nadene often forgets on purpose to comb it.

Nadene has a thin and delicate face, dappled with freckles, more so dappling her pale skin directly under her eyes, a few at the corner of her thin, almost always chapped lips. She has blue eyes and a small nose. Above her left eye is a scar, a small scar, than starts at the start of her left eyebrow and ends midway. It was given to her by accident by her friend when they were playing together as children.

Personality:

Nadene is very shy and a natural loner. She has not ever really made friends. She has had a few here and there, but eventually forgets about them and their friendship is no more. She later lies awake at night and looks back on their friendship. She usually brushes it off and falls asleep, but there is one friend who will haunt her forever.

Even though Nadene is a natural loner, she is still friendly. She has a good sense of humor, but usually is cocooned in her shell of loneliness. She is not one to come out of shell a lot. She hasn't made a single friend since what happened to the last friend she ever made. Nadene is compassionate and hates to watch another human suffer. She hates to watch the Games, but knows she must. She usually tears up when watching the Games, even if District Seven doesn't loose a person. She mourns the deaths of all tributes, every year.

Nadene has a love for children, a burning passion. She wishes to have her own little Clan some day, around three or four children. She doesn't want so many that her and her husband can't support their family. She hopes that she will break her shell for good after she is no longer eligible for the Games, and knows she won't loose another friend.

Nadene is a fast runner. She hopes that if she's ever stuck in the Games, she'll be blessed with a wide open arena for her to just run. Her Mother was a fast woman. She hasn't run a lot in a long time, mainly because she's focusing more on becoming more social. She's thinking that if she hasn't been drawn for the games by now, she never will. She thinks it won't hurt to bring down the hammer to the shell a little early.

History:

Nadene was born as the second child to a lumberjack and a woman who stayed at home to cook food and raise children. Her brother was older than her by two years and five months.

When Nadene was three and a half, her younger sister, Cateline- Maria was born. Nadene was still far too young to care for Cateline Maria. Nadene continued to grow up like a normal child, but would soon be stopped in her tracks by a horrible event.

Her older brother was out playing one day with some little boys when Nadene was six. There was a man in the square who was acting up, and the Peacekeepers tried to calm him down. They failed to do so, and ended up having to shoot the man. One of the bullets fired missed their mark and hit Nadene's brother, killing the young boy instantly.

Nadene's Mother was stricken by grief. She could not believe her little boy was dead. For a long while after wards the house was quite. Nadene would silently play with Cateline- Maria while their Mother would gaze at the floor.
Soon, when Nadene was seven, a new baby arrived. He died a few days later from unknown causes. The deaths kept coming. Nadene's Father was soon killed in a accident at his job. Nadene would often have to care for Cateline- Maria when their Mother was beside herself with grief. Soon after their Father's death, their Mother fell ill. She died a week later.

Nadene moved in with her Aunt, along with Cateline-Maria. Their Aunt was single and had no children. She was overjoyed to have a child in the house, better yet two. She showered her nieces with love and affection, knowing they had been through a terrible lot.
Nadene then started her friend streak. She never kept them, until she met a girl named Kalla Ralston. Her and Kalla were very much alike. They clicked, and Nadene had for the first time kept a friend. When they both turned fourteen, Kalla a little sooner than Nadene, Kalla was reaped for the yearly Games. The girls were horrified, afraid to loose one another. Nadene gave Kalla her Mother's necklace that had been given to Nadene when her Mother died. That was the last they ever saw each other, for Kalla died in day three of the Games.

After that terrible event for Nadene, she went into her shell and never returned. The only person who could make her smile was rarely her Aunt, and Cateline-Maria. They are still very close, but Nadene worries she will loose her sister to the Reapings.

Since her Aunt and Cateline-Maria are still alive, should I also make a biography for them?
