[Ready] Alba Orca - District 2

Appearance

Alba has a lot of access to hair dyes, so her hair has its colour changed more often than not. Typically, she likes red or black and tends not to mix colours at all. Her face is long with subtle wideness that makes it seems normal. Her chin and nose are defined whilst her mouth is less so, again making it more normal looking. Her hair usually has its fullness revealed, with the fringe over her forehead and the sides loosely near her shoulders. Since she is in District 2 and is a career, looking fierce is part of the package. To her, she doesn't need to look fierce is she acts it, so she prefers to have loose looking hair as it seems almost messy. However, on her it looks stylish almost. Her eyes are brown and quite average in size, and with the use of makeup she usually focuses on them rather than litter the rest in product.

Her body is slim to muscular depending on where you look. She is most definitely not fat, nor views herself as it. She is very cynical about her viewing of things and this is one of them - she sees what is there, not what she may believe to be there. Her arms are used to the throwing of knives or the clashing of swords and her legs are used tp the strenuous running and sprinting sessions that one should partake in during careership.

Personality

She likes humor, but she is very dramatic. She likes to believe she is constantly in the Games, and constantly at ends with others. When it comes to friends, they are usually idolizing her - she likes it. She constantly thrives to be center of attention, whether it means in a conversation or in a battlefield. She simply adores the feeling of it. All eyes on her because she knows she's fabulous, brilliant and fantastic. She wants people to love her and if that doesn't happen, she pushes herself to extremes to achieve it. Attention seeking is something she is good at so she rarely good foolish whilst doing it, unlike many others who attempt such a thing.

Around the male populace of Panem, she likes to wear the pants. Being a career girl, you have to act independent or else you will look weak. This has formed her into a girl with mannerisms that resemble such men in a more dominant way. When it comes to boys, she likes to make them wait on her, because she is the boss. Though, she appreciates a bite back, or a retaliation. Sometimes she asks for it as a test. Moves and countermoves.

Her parents influenced her to become who she is. The Orca family may be known for its ruthless career children, and adults who are still brooding that they didn't get into the Games. She is from the side of the Orca family that joined another Family, the Lupus family. Her mother, who is an Orca, decided to maintain the Orca family name with her husband, the Lupus. This resembles the attitude of her mother well as she is clearly dominant in the relationship just as Alba would be if she was in one. Her father isn't weak, which is why he is still her father really. Her parents have a very good relationship with her because they are proud of her - this makes them more happy among each other and more domestically positive.

History

Born among the noise of District Two to a pair of matrilineally married Orca parents, I would consider myself very lucky in terms of who I am surrounded by. When I was very young I had all the best care. I am similarly aged with many cousins so I constantly had many people to be around, and they were always a great trio to be with since they seemed to share common interests. Obviously we had the odd fall out, but we were kids. When I was a little older, and was starting to get into the higher stages of school, I was old enough for the reaping. It was obvious that in District Two, you weren't going to be picked unless it was to be by some kind of fluke, where nobody volunteered at all. It is always dramatic when a young person gets chosen, as they have an indecisive moment of whether they are ready or not, and whether it is really what they want. I didn't want it because I knew that statistically and physically, I am going to be much stronger later in my story.

When I was fourteen, I started to realize for definite what I wanted to do. If the Games didn't work out for me, I would probably move on to something just as ruthless like Peacekeeping. Though I'd have to make my mind up way before I'm old enough anyway, because I'd have to break it to my parents. My parents seem to have a resent for me joining the peacekeeping squadrons. Although my family are definitely in favor in general, as in the whole family of Orcas, my two parents aren't as keen. I think it has something more to do with my father who is not of the Orca family biologically. His family are not particularly known for their provision to the peacekeepers, whereas the Orca family has provided on many occasions. I could be wrong, though. I doubt it.

Key things in my life have decided to hide from me. I always find myself bored with the district, and those in it. My family is pretty keen on keeping up traditions, family means and similar occurrences. I find myself doing the exact opposite. I like to divert, do something different. Knowing this, I've always been the person that has done the different thing, tried the different food on the table. Live on the edge a little more in hope that I have some taste of excitement. When I was fifteen, it did happen. I became a full career. Not one of the faking ones who train, have the body and such - I became one of the careers that had the mind. I joined my three cousins, Tyren, Alex and Joe, in the training halls and I began to work on everything, all the time.

Recently, though, Joe has gone missing. Nobody knows where he is, and nobody understands what has happened to him. Usually when this happens, somebody has done something so awful that the peacekeepers don't even keep them around to be whipped or executed. Joe must have done something that none of us would expect since he was the goodie-two-shoes of the family. This has definitely left me a little on edge, because my last words to him were really typical. 'Hey', 'how you doing?', 'No, don't use an axe like that'. I do hope he is alright wherever he is - but I also know that wherever he is, there is no level of shame that he can understand which matches the result of his departure.
