Esther Winter, District Ten

Esther is slender and of medium build. She is strong for her age, although not so strong as her twin brother. She has straight brown hair which flows down midway between her ribcage and her hip.

Her face is clear, without the scattering of freckles that her brother has always had. Her eyes are the same piercing blue as Elos's, and her skin is almost white. Her lips are full yet pale.

Her features are rounded and feminine, and she has white teeth which are barely seen, as she chooses to smile very little.

She has scars on her legs and arms, which she claims are from various farmyard accidents. In truth they are from her training as a tribute in the night hours.

Esther is quiet and reserved, opposing her boisterous and bubbly twin brother. She is caring, yet she does it in her own way.

Barely speaking and almost never smiling, the girl goes around in her brothers shadow - letting him make the decisions. Esther does, however, love her brother very much. She wishes to train for the games, incase she is reaped and her brother is left behind. As he refuses to do so, swearing that the games are twisted and horrible and don't deserve their time, she sneaks out in the night and trains.

This determination, mixed with patience and knowledge, makes her confident that if reaped she would have a slight chance of making it home.

Unlike her brother, Esther secretly resents District Ten, and would run away if it wasn't for her twin's love for the country-side and the animals.

When she is not working on the farm, spending time helping her brother play practical jokes or training for the games in secret, Esther loves to read and research.

She is the quieter and the shier of her and her brother, making her more thoughtful and inventive. She is also a skilled fighter and trapper.

Secretly, Esther feels trapped by Panem - The Games and District Ten especially.

Esther comes from a small family situated on one of the many farms in District Ten. They have been raising cattle, horses, chickens, sheep, pigs and other livestock for as long as anyone can remember, giving Esther a steady grip on the meaning of death.

She lives with her mother and father, and her older twin brother Elos. She had a younger sister, Eliot, who was a year younger than her, but she died in a tragic accident four years ago.

Esther does not blame herself for her sisters death, nor does she blame her brother - however she sometimes hates the way her brother is protective of her, and makes decisions for her she may not have made herself.

Esther has helped her family on the farm ever since she could remember, despite being overshadowed by her brother at all tasks. She is a confident rider, despite preferring to spend her time inside and reading.
