Venus Sanchez [D12] FINISHED

Venus is a very, very unique character. She is the sweetest girl you will ever meet, and hates to see people get hurt by other people's wrong doings. When ever she does see someone doing wrong, somehow, the softness of her voice makes guys weak. They kind of 'fall' under her spell. No, it is not a super power, to her, more of a curse. Sometimes, she doesn't mean too, but the guys become all mushy gushy with her and try to kiss up to Venus. She feel like this takes advantage of them and immediately tries to stop. yes, it helps people, but at the same time, she doesn't like to take control of people.

Under the sweetness of Venus' heart is an arrogant, sharp side to her. If she gets upset or very annoyed, she will mess with the guys using her power. They get all messed up in her looks and voice. As she snaps out of her arrogant side, she realizes what she is doing and stops. Venus rarely, shows this side of her thankfully. It takes a real jerk to lead her on to this dark side of her, and when ever she does come onto this side, she can't help what she does.

Venus loves nature and helping out people. She likes to be outside in the market place around people because she is very sociable. She has a bunch of friends always around her and all of different personalities. She loves to be around their personalities and learn from them. Being one of the oldest, she has a responsibility over the younger friends and kind of tends to them like little brothers and sisters. The oldest boy, Mercury, Venus fell for. She looks to him like a best friend and is kind of put in her place and falls under a trance for him. When mercury gets angry, Venus seems to be the only one to calm him down. She doesn't know if it is her voice, or just her, but she hopes it is just her and that he likes her back for who she is and not what she looks like.

Venus has a history of regret and despair, but then light and happiness. I guess you could call her life ... bi-polar? Born in mid winter in the poor district of nine, Venus Kelly Sanchez was born into a family of four. Her mother Karen, her father Bruce, her older sister Marie, and her younger sister Kate. Being the in between child, Venus did not receive as much attention as should a child which kind of made her the least favorite among the family. She always kind of was alone in the house doing something as a toddler, the only real attention she got was from her older sister Marie who absolutely adored her young sister Venus. Marie was the closest Venus ever got to family, again, this was before Kate was born.

One day, their family went to a the town square for a meeting, this was when Venus was three, and for some reason a funny looking person called out Marie's name. the last words that she ever heard from her sister was 'Be strong Venus, be strong.' and then she never saw her again. her parents never told Venus the truth about Marie and just sulked around all day. Venus just thought that Marie went to live somewhere else.

About 10 months later, she had another sister, Kate. Kate had never known Marie and Venus knew that she would never have a sister as good as Kate so Venus tried her best to be the best sister she could. As they grew, Venus was less liked by her parents and Kate turned out to be annoying and bratty. Still though, Venus never gave up trying to be a good sister. This lasted several more years until Venus was fourteen and Kate was twelve.

By this time, Venus knew about the Games and the reaping but always doubted in her mind that is where Marie went even though she did know that it was the truth. Venus looked onto her sister worried but knew that her sister's name was only entered once. she just kept her eyes on the Capitolite. As Kate's name was called, Venus became speechless. she wanted to volunteer, she really did, but by the time she had gathered her thoughts it was too late and Kate was rushed into the big building. For their last goodbye, Venus whispered the same words her older sister said to her, Be strong Kate, be strong.'

It was the last time Venus had seen her sister and she had given up all her hope until she met Mercury started to become Venus' only friend and helped her through regrets and generally made her happier. He also helped her with her ever growing problem of boy's falling all over her like they were her slaves and he soon realized that Venus' voice and looks caused this. It was probably the biggest eye opener for her and decided to use it only for good. Still though, she thinks of it as a pure curse to her life. Soon, more and more friends came to be mercury and Venus' friends. All having peculiar unique names. Venus became so attached to this group and felt so loved by these people, she felt like she had eleven siblings that would never leave and would always be with her. It kind of made up for her lost two sister's that would always seem to have a place in her heart, a special place that would never be filled again.
