I may stand at only five feet and three inches tall and weigh under one hundred pounds, but that doesn't stop me from being beautiful. I've been told that I'm absolutely stunning in appearance, and I agree. I love the way I look, and I hate to ever admit that I have flaws. My face is what attracts many people to me. My eyes are dark, and look good against my pale skin. Clear of freckles, my face also lacks blemishes, and because my family is a bit richer than most in District Seven, I am able to afford makeup to wear. I also make a lot of money in other ways, which I will at some point elaborate on.

Now, I hate to admit that I'm not absolutely perfect. In all actuality, I do have some stretch marks, as well as some slightly crooked teeth. My teeth, however, are actually rather white. I hold myself confidently, and I walk with good posture. When it comes to my build, as I've said, I'm rather small. Despite being rather small, though, I am still quite healthy. Being healthy is one of the things that I take pride in, and I'm surprisingly strong for my size.

I'm a fast runner, and I have rather good leg strength, although admittedly, my arms don't pack as much power. My nails are kept rather neat, other than when they break on occasion, and I'm sometimes told that my eyes are a bit too close together. I wish I could say that I looked perfect, which is something I've been told, but I know it's not entirely true, no matter how much I like to think that about myself. I dress rather nicely, often wearing the jewelry that I am lucky enough to be able to afford. I feel that this is part of what makes me stand out in the district and attracts people towards me.

Despite not being very tall, I've been told I look older than I actually am. Often, people will confuse me for being an adult. At times, I wish this were true, as it would mean that there are a lot of things that I wouldn't have to deal with, but of course, I know that there are other responsibilities that would come along with it. Perhaps when I'm older, I won't enjoy looking older than I actually am, but at this point in my life, I enjoy it. I feel that looking more mature has helped me out in various aspects of my life.

Sometimes I've been told that I'm a bit obnoxious because of how much self-confidence I have, but I don't think of that as a bad thing. I've always felt good about myself and I don't really have many things that I don't like about myself. I may not be the most caring person, as I don't really look out for others, but I still feel that I'm not necessarily a bad person. The things that I seem to think about the most are the things that will help me out in life. Some people don't like me because of how much attention I get, which is understandable. After all, I have been in a lot of relationships, and occasionally have gotten together with people just for the 'fun' part of things.

Many people have also shamed me for what I do in my life. I've been told that I'm rather repulsive by some people, as I don't take relationships very seriously. I don't get angry very easily, but I have been known to tease people, and have been told that I'm a bit too straightforward, which makes me come off as rude sometimes. I have a habit of making jokes out of people's bad or embarrassing situations, which isn't usually a good thing. As someone who jokes around a lot, I often get told that the time I've chosen to make a comment wasn't the best one.

I'm someone who loves who I am. I love the way I look, as well as the way I act, and I've always been rather popular, which I feel wouldn't have happened if I weren't a good person. Many people tell me, however, that people are probably just drawn to me because of my looks, which I don't agree with. I tend to brag about a lot of things, which may not be my most positive trait, and I also tend to show off what I have, whether it be by physically flaunting it, or just telling people about it. I'm often told that this isn't a good thing to do, but it doesn't stop me from doing so.

My hobbies are what bring me the most enjoyment in my life. One thing that I really enjoy doing is singing. Personally, I feel that I've gotten rather good at singing after doing it for fun for so long. That's probably why I continue to do it and enjoy it. I'm terrified of ever going into the Hunger Games, no matter how confident I am with other things. I think this is because I don't feel that I'd be a very good fighter. Even if I were able to get people to like me enough to sponsor me, I don't know how much it would help, due to not being very physically capable of doing things like running.

I've lived my life with a rather large family. I live with my parents and most of my siblings. The siblings that I have are mostly younger than me, with two older than me, and I live will all of the younger ones, whereas the older ones have moved out on their own at this point. My family usually treats me rather well, but I still have conflicts with my siblings on occasion. I have the most trouble getting along with the oldest of my younger siblings, as we argue quite a lot. My home life has been generally rather good, aside from conflicts here and there.

When it comes to relations with people outside of my family, I have a lot of friends, and have also had a lot of lovers in the past. I also have a two-year-old daughter named Belle, due to being impregnated by a boyfriend at age fifteen, which I know, is rather young. I care for her with the help of my parents, and I hope that I never have to leave her. My main fear in life is having something bad happen to her. I care for her more than anything else in my life. When I go out and about in the District, she is usually with me, unless I'm doing some of what I do to earn money, during which she stays at the house.

I have an odd way of earning money, in some people's opinion. I often will do anything from housework to other things. I only do these things so that I can have enough money to support myself and my daughter when we're off on our own. Most of the money that I make goes towards food and clothing for the family, and I make a surprisingly good amount. Hopefully, later on in life, I can get a proper job.

Throughout my life, I've had a lot of friendships, as well as relationships. Most of my friends are not extremely close to me, however, as it seems to be that I have more of a quantity of friends rather than one or two of good quality. When I do come across a good friend once in a while, though, I do like to hang out with them and just chat or go for walks. The few good friends that I've had throughout life, however, are not really around much anymore. I hope to get more close friends soon, so that I'm not just left alone with my parents, siblings and daughter.
