Larae Vacanti -District 10

Name: Larae Francesca Vacanti / Rae / Lynx
Age: 18
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 10
Appearance:

Her hair is shoulder-length to half-way down her back. Wavy. Color depends on her mood. More often than not, it's black with random red or purple streaks through it. Sometimes, it's a light brunette, like her mother's, which is also her natural hair color. Her eyes are blue as the sky, with a dark blue rim, but can sometimes darken to a complete deep blue, if she is angry or upset.

Larae is short and hates it with a passion. Rae wears combat boots to 'combat' her vertically-challengedness as she's only 4'11. Being only 97 pounds can be either a hinderance or a help to her. When she sneaks away to forage and hunt, her slight frame and small steps make her a silent and surprisingly deadly force when provoked. This prompted her friends (not that she has many) to dub her 'Lynx'.

She has a dusting of freckles across her nose, which she supposedly inherited from her grandmother on her father's side, but Rae has never met anyone in her family to know whether it is true or not.

Personality:

Rae is not your typical brooding, moody teenager. On the surface, that is all she appears to be, but deep inside she is more than that, though those things are an integral part of her.

She is constantly on-edge, tending to look over her shoulder at the slightest noise or shadow. She exudes confidence, but is really just an untrained, undisciplined child. She is fiercely competitive and will do anything and say anything in order to not lose at any challenge set before her.

Having practically raised herself, Rae knows how to think quick and light on her feet, keeping her out of most trouble. Rae is not one to be on the bad side of. If you are unfortunate enough to make her mad, you'll find yourself with a rather vindictive enemy.

History:


Larae Francesca, which ironically means 'cheerful and free', respectively, has never been neither cheerful nor does she freely express anything except hatred and loathing and depression. Larae's childhood was a sad state of affairs, despite coming from money. Though the Vacanti's have always been fairly rich, they still seem to struggle day by day due to Rae's mother's poor upbringing and, in her opinion, all too frugal ways.

Her mother, Celia is the only one she has ever known in her family. Larae has nearly lost her mother on more than one occasion. The most recent and, so far, worst incident involved an overzealous peacekeeper who knocked Celia unconscious having found her attempting to steal food. This injury resulted in her eventually slipping into a coma.

No one expected her to come out of and if she did, she was not expected to be normal ever again. However, through the quick-thinking of someone who knew medicine, Celia recovered.

Until she turned 13, Larae constantly pushed her mother to tell her about her father; where he was, who he was and did he ever see either of them any time after Larae was born. All of these questions were ignored or pushed aside by Celia, resulting in constant fighting between them. One evening, after an unusually brutal verbal lashing toward her mother Larae found a strange-looking book, which she quickly realized was a diary all in handwriting she knew and yet did not know, under one of the many loose floorboards in her room. She picked it up and shoved it in her mother's face, accusing Celia of keeping secrets about her father, only to be told by Celia that she knew no more about the book than Larae did.

After finally settling down from the shock of seeing the small, leather-bound book, Larae sat down to study it. She found many secrets within.

Secrets the Capitol would kill her for possessing.
