Grace Undertame district 1 age 17

My skin is my favorite part of my body. It is soft and smooth. I admit I use a lot of moisturizers that my parents buy for me, but I naturally have no birth marks or any other deformity on my skin; Like a scar. My hair is dark black, with little shine and pin straight. I keep it short. The hopes is that no one will pay attention to my bad feature of hair with it being less of a distraction with less of it. My bangs are grown are not grown out but cut one inch above my bushy eyebrows.

You will often see me with a lot of pink lipstick on my lips, and pink blush on my face. Only the best presents from my daddy. My parents spoil me more than I realize sometimes. I have always a nice jacket on or the newest pair of jeans out in district one.One will also often see me with a smirk on my face due to finding out someone’s weaknesses.

My hair is a bad feature of my body but my actual body shape is the worst. My body shape is a thin body with no curves. I for one never had any hips or backside that guys could swoon over. Just a taller version of a girls body. This makes me a bit lanky. Luckily I have some toned muscles on my arms due to my career training and gymnastics, making me a bit less of a awkward looking person.

I am a very intelligent person. I get straight A's at school and I can pick up on things real quickly. Now this may be a bit of a hyperbole since I am a bit arrogant. Not exactly in the narcissistic sense where I cant see my faults but in the sense that I know that I have faults but can accept them. Accepting them does not mean I am willing to change them, because I am not. I wont change for someone, I am as stubborn as a mule as my friends would sneer. This perhaps is why even my friends I tend to keep at an arms length. I have to remember that they do not accept me for who I am, so they can’t be trusted.

One of my tricks is my ability to look into people's souls and take advantage of them. Its not like a magic trick or anything I just have this knack of finding out people's weaknesses both mentally and physically. I do this because I can pay attention to things that others would not notice, I catch up on subtle keys; like how people talk, people’s eye movements, and how they walk. Which is once again probably why I don’t have many friends, including fake ones. They just don't like that I can take advantage of them like that. When I tell them their weakness's they get even madder at me, I just give them a grin because I know the truth hurts but its better to know the truth of their own weakness's before its too late. Like, I don’t know.... THE GAMES.The ones that they try so hard to get into with out a clue in the world how people could take advantage of them.. Yes that was me being a bit bit***. Get over it. Oh look me being brass.

Let me tell you the truth about my weakness. I am sure it will make everyone feel better if they knew that I evaluated myself as much as I did others. I am not talking about the little bit of arrogance, brass nature, and what some would say rude comments I make. I am talking about the biggest one. The one where I know it would give me doubts about going into the games. Kids, they are my weakness. For one reason or another I am willing to hurt and probably kill people above the age of probably 15, but younger than that, I don't think I could. I have a maternal instinct or some messed up form for young kids. I just adore them. My parents find it odd because I am a bit of a brat and won’t share my clothes with my friends but put a little 11 year old in front of me and I would buy them some brand new clothes. Perhaps its me wanting to be in power or something, but I love being nice to kids. I like it when they look up to me like I am some role model even though I know I am not. Either way it feels good.

Growing up in district one is perfect. I am not going to put some spin on my life and talk about how hard it is when its not. I get what ever I want ever since I was a little kid. I had no siblings to fight for my parents money nor attention. I was my parents little girl. I never really had anyone to hang out with me my own age as far as family was concerned. My aunt and uncle only had kids six years ago so they are quite young to have been considered growing up with them. I guess thats why I have become a bit of a brat but some how I can get along with kids?

I don’t know anyways since age five I have been in gymnastics. I thought it as a way to have fun and figure out the art of the sport while figuring out myself at the same time. My parents however thought I could make some friends that they thought I so dearly needed and to prepare for a time when I could join a career academy.Over the years I have become quite a nimble person both on my feet and hands. I actually am quite proud of my body and what it can do.

At age twelve they signed me up for the career academy and wanted me to drop out of gymnastics. I did not want to drop gymnastics so I screamed like I always do to get my way. They quickly said fine I could stay in gymnastics if only I did career training also. I agreed.
Since then I have enjoyed the idea of going into the games one day just to figure out some more people. I think of it as a new level in life and less of me potentially dieing if I ever went in. It helps me sleep better at night since a part of me is still scared of dieing and even killing young kids.
