One would often think that life in your shoes would be downright miserable, but in reality, that couldn't be farther from the truth.

Your story began much like many others in Twelve, as the only child of a couple in the Seam. Though life was far from simple, you not only survived but thrived, seven years of tesserae nevertheless rendering you free from the reaper's grasp (though, since those included the years of Arbor Halt's success streak in the Games, you think that the death sentence may not have been as surefire as it was nowadays.)

Fresh out of the reaping, you married the man of your dreams at a young age and gave birth to your first child not long after. But Mitchell would only be the first of many, and as you your love for the role of the mother grew, so did the number of children that were gathered under your wing.

When it comes to Twelve, one might think that the role of the mother of many would be one that no one would ever wish to carry. Along with the burdens of supporting all of those children comes the increased risk of loss to the Games - especially now, just years shy of completing your fourth decade with the majority of your children in varying stages of the Reaping process.

But for you, you couldn't love it more. Your husband's success means that everyday needs are somewhat less than they otherwise would be, and your love is such that no child, whether they contain your blood in their veins or not, is left lacking.

Motherhood is hard, but also rewarding, as you have found with nearly two decades worth of experience.

And honestly, you wouldn't have it any other way.
