Adelina Willows D5 Done

[/color]

Coppery red hair like a new penny shines in the sunlight as Adelina steps out into the world from her home in district five. It hangs down her back, falling in waves of curls past her shoulders and comes to an end without a single split end. Her head feels warm as the thick hair on her head traps heat, making her sweat. Feathery bangs hang in her face, covering one of her medium sized chocolate brown eyes. She smiles, her smile lighting up her already pretty face that's spattered with freckles. She looks like a typical ginger, freckles and all apart from the fact that she has chocolate brown eyes instead of green eyes. The skin under the freckles and covering her tall body is pale, like it's never seen a day of sunlight. There is a reason why though, she has very sensitive skin and it burns very easily. If she does go outside, every exposed surface must be covered up. She doesn't seem to mind though.

As said before, whenever she goes outside, every surface must be covered. Whenever she's inside though, it's a different story. She loves short shorts and tank tops, although she can't wear that stuff outside. She's made that mistake once and every surface of her 5'9" frame that was exposed was burned. Let's just say it was very painful and in fact, she still has scars from the burns, scabs that didn't heal and such. Above the left side of her lip is a dark spot that makes her very uncomfortable.

Speaking of scars, this girl has more scars on her than most people know. A lot of it comes from her sewing and from the fact that she's incredibly clumsy. She breaks a lot of things and can't really be trusted with glass wear. Her voice is sweet and soft, soothing to most people, and when she giggles, people always feel the need to giggle along with her. She's not vain, in fact, she doesn't really think she's pretty. She thinks she's just average looking. I'm not that pretty is her opinion on her appearance. Anyways, enough about appearance.

PERSONALITY[/color]

Well, what is lovely Miss Willows like? Well, she's incredibly shy, not having gotten out much in her life, she is hard to get to know. Crack through the hard shell of hers though, and she becomes a lovely person with a very good sense of humor. She loves to laugh in the presence of her parents and cousins, but no one outside her family has ever heard her laugh. She's been very sheltered in life, not allowed to really ever go outside so she's somewhat child-like when it comes to some things. She smiles at the beauty of nature and does not like the smog that constantly hangs over her district.

When it comes to talents, Lina has quite a few. She can sew, draw, and sing, although no one in the district knows this. She has a beautiful singing voice that her parents encourage her to use and develop. She's quite proud of her singing voice, one of the few things she'll actually admit she's good at.

Along with talents, like everyone, she has a lot of weaknesses and fears. Her greatest fear is of animals that are bigger than her knee's. She adores her cat Wendy though. Her other fears include water (Hydrophobia), Thunder and lighting (brontophobia), and blood (Hemophobia). She feels sick whenever she's faced with blood and this includes the hunger games. She is terrified of the games and being reaped, even though she knows she only has one more year until she's too old for the reapings and finally free.

When it comes to relationships, Lina is very much looking for her prince charming. She'd love to meet that perfect someone but until she finds him, she's perfectly happy to fly solo. She hasn't really mingled much with members of the opposite sex so she's quite awkward around them however, she can talk to one of them, Corbin, who has been friends with her since she could toddle and knows all her secrets. More on their friendship later though. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to see that he likes her and that the two of them are perfect for each other in every way. Anyways, that's about it for her Personality.

HISTORY[/color]

Like was said in her intro, she's got a less than beautiful history. As a little girl, she was adored by all in the district and people began to feel resentful towards her. As the years went by, she began shutting herself in because no one wanted her around because she was too pretty they said and she made them feel dull. As time went on, she just stayed inside, not really showing her face unless she had to, like on reaping day. On those days, she can't hide from the hateful glares of the district. She wants nothing more than to be accepted again. She wants them to welcome her back and be kind to her, just as she was always kind to them.

She, like most people, has a mother and a father, both of them were very protective of her and taught her that no matter what other people do to her, she should treat them kindly. Her mother, Adriana Willows, was a secretary for one of the power plants while her father, Martin Willows, was a power plant worker. The two of them met at work and fell in love. Anyways, back to Adelina. She had a good relationship with her father while her mother, she didn't know very well. She just saw her sometimes at dinner. The two of them hardly ever spoke while they were home. Martin wants his two women to get along but perhaps, it's too late for these two.

When Lina was three, her parents introduced her to a friend of theirs son. He was two years older than her but the two of them got along splendidly. His name was Corbin and he was a great friend. She trusted him instantly and when everyone else started to turn away from her, he was there to support her. He was her shoulder to cry on and the one she looked to for help. He cared about her a lot but he never really told her because he didn't want to ruin their friendship. She has a lot of feelings for him but she's too shy to admit it to him because he's the only one who's ever really been there for her and she doesn't want to lose him like she lost everyone else. The two of them completed each other and she wanted it to stay that way. She doesn't seem to realize that if they took things a step further, he'd be perfect for her.

Lina is home-schooled because her parents know how the other people feel about her. Her father quit his job and decided to become her teacher, teaching her about music, art, and sewing because he had been taught all of that stuff as a kid. She loved her father and loved the things he taught her. Her mother, when the two of them did speak, taught her how to cook so that when she moved out she could feed herself. Anyways, I believe that is all there really is to tell you all about this pretty girl from district five.
