Syren Dimoy, District 9

Syren stands at around 5’6, and she has short blonde hair. She has blue eyes and white teeth. She is skinny from living in District 9 and wears whatever she can get her hands on. Every morning, Syren wakes up at six o’clock in the morning to trade game she catches for bread, then comes home and they eat the loaf. She can catch lots of game in the woods, and thankfully has never been caught by the hovercraft. Sometimes, she brings back game and cooks it. It really depends if she has enough game to bring some to trade for bread and some to bring home.

Syren has two brothers and one sister. Her brothers are called John and Jake, and her sister is called Becky. John, Jake, Becky and Syren are not all from the same mother. They all have the same fathers, but John and Jake, who are twins, and Becky, who is a year younger than them, are children to a woman called Charlotte. However Syren’s mother is called Amanda. Syren still loves her half-siblings but she hates her step-mother, who she has to live with, along with her dad for marrying Charlotte. Charlotte obviously despises Syren and wants to get rid of her. It would just be lucky if she was reaped…oops, spoke too soon.

Syren was born in District 9 and was raised well, up until now, when she is eighteen years old. It is her final year of eligibility for the reaping. As for Becky, she is 12 years old, and John and Jake are 13. Syren hopes that, if she’s reaped, one of her brothers wouldn’t be. She’d hate to have to murder her brothers. Syren knows that every victor has to have killed someone, and in order to be a victor, you had to become a murderer.

A few years ago, Syren was fourteen and still lived happily with her parents, oblivious to the fact that her siblings weren’t her mother’s. Her mother thought this as well, but then a woman came to their door and kissed their father on the lips. Amanda was horrified, and told the woman to get off her husband and go home. Charlotte had turned to her and asked, “But Tommy here is my lover, aren’t you, Tommy?” It was a sickening voice.

“I tell you, go away!” Amanda was raising her voice now. “Honey,” Tom said. “You, you lying cheater!” Amanda cried. “Go away! Go now! Pack your bags and leave!” Tom sighed and shouted, “Fine! I’m better off with Charlotte now! But I’m taking the kids!”
“Just our kids, Tommy,” Charlotte said. “Not the oldest one. I like handling little kids better. Take the youngest ones.”
Amanda was in tears now.
“No, we need to take Syren as well,” Tom said. “We can’t split her up from her siblings. Come on, Syren, we’re going. Hold Becky’s hand and keep her safe, will you? Charlotte lives on the other side of the district, so it’s a long journey for Becky to her new home.”

Ever since then, Syren has always been pierced by her step-mother’s scheming gaze.

Personality:
Syren is determined, never willing to give up in any situations. She would never back down from saving her family, or even random strangers on the street. Syren is always capable of looking after people and finding them a place in this world. Syren, to people she dislikes, shows a cold attitude towards them but never outright insults them. If somebody insults her, she just shrugs it off and comes up with a nasty comeback, and after her snarky sarcastic comment she walks off. She doesn't want to mingle with weak, pathetic scum like that. She prefers to keep with the people she likes for once. She refuses to waste much time and effort on the worthless ones.

She is helpful and charismatic to those she likes, and when she's out hunting she treats the animals with respect, makes sure they spend their last moments in peace and harmony. When Syren was young, she didn't understand the importance of killing animals to keep herself alive. After discovering a lizard, she had her knife at the ready to throw, but then the lizard's family emerged and she lost the courage. Syren is very caring for those she loves, making sure that if an old man was dying on the streets, she'd give him a peaceful death and hold his hand. If she saw someone thriving, she would take their hand and lead them towards a safer place.

But of course, everyone has flaws, and this applies to Syren too. She's no Mary-Sue. She is sometimes too bossy, and too eager to be leader. She likes to tell people what to do and push them around, especially the weaker, quieter ones. Syren can develop a dislike for you and that dislike shall never taint, even if you try and make it up. Sometimes she'll make allowances just for once, but if you dare anger her again, you're in for a world of pain. Syren can beat people up and she takes pride in doing so, for she often has a good reason to do these terrible things. Yet still, it is horrible, and Syren sometimes regrets doing it but, as always, you can't change the past.
