surely fear - D3 (ratmas cb1)

Surely is of the youngest Reaping age of twelve, and she’s proud of it. With a mother like Constance Fear, always entirely proud to stand by her children in every way, this sweet girl has never known a bad day – the only downside is that she is constantly doing something extracurricular, essentially overborne by things to do. Dance classes, gymnastics, calculus. It’s always something new for her, but she loves her mum for that.

“Mum says that I’m super bright for my age. I’ve got good manners, and I look after my little brother when he’s worried – and he worries a lot! She ties my hair back most mornings and calls me her petal dove. I’ve always loved birds, so I like that name a lot. I remember singing to the birds all the time when I was younger. They don’t come near me now… Maybe I’ve grown too much. I wish that would stop, though – I’m a big girl now. Mum says I’m nearly four feet high!”

While she is a sweet pea, Surely is entirely innocent in nature. She wouldn’t hurt a fly. She has a deep love of birds and loves to watch them. She can remember being around her mother all the time whilst she was in meetings, usually waiting outside scouting for their wings in various shapes and colours.

Her relationship with her father is the only strain. Whilst he is present, he is somehow wildly absent. His priorities are never her, and always work, so she focuses a lot of her love-needing and giving on her mother, Constance. Now that her mother is running for Mayor, who knows how much time she’ll have for her.

But that’s alright, there’s always the birds.
