Name: Nyte Celeste
Age: 16
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 12/The Seam
Appearance:
Dark hair and dark eyes. The Seam look is deeply ingrained it seems. Tall and quite a bit lanky due to the fact she eats so little, instead seeking to keep the bellies of her brothers and cripple father filled. She doesn't seek attention, thus she keeps her hair cropped short to make her seem more like a boy. Because of being malnurished her figure is a bit stick figured, her breasts hardly threre, thus she binds them during the day to keep them from getting in her way.
Her clothes are hand downs from the older woman who is there neighbor. Most of the time Nyte is required to use the cloth of two pieces of clothing in order to make a garment that will fit her tall frame. Standing at five foot ten is a bit tall for a girl, but somehow she manages, her mother having taught her how to sew, thanks to her being a seamstress.
Personality:
Many will call her quiet. She keeps to herself, never wishing to draw attention to herself. But while she seems antisocial, the younger children of the Seam know her for her kindness and for her ability to make up some of the greatest make believe games for them. But any older then seven and she will be indifferent. She doesn't mean to act so indifferent, but she shys away from people her age and older. Mostly her age because she fears growing attached and then having to watch that person go into the Hunger Games.
But beneath she is a curious person. She likes to learn, tending to observe the tradesmen quietly and try to mimic alot of it, especially when it comes to making food. She tend to silently peek into the bakery to see how they make bread. In school she even tried to learn beyond what they would teach, only to find herself blocked, unable to access any more knowledge.
This made frustration grow within her. She found it unfair that she could not learn more and her father saw that she had quite a temper. While she does not tend to show it, when pushed too far her temper is wicked and quick. Like an explosion then it vanishes. It makes her father wonder though. He believes she has become so patient because of her younger brothers and the fact that she is a trapper in the meadow. Its that patience that he admires in her and reminds him so much of his late wife.
History:
Born in the Seam to a Coal Miner father and a Seamtress mother. She is the eldest of three, the two younger brothers only a year apart from one another while she is six years older than them. Sky is now ten while Ray is nine. Due to the boy being so close in age, Ray's birth on her mother's weakened form, cause her mother to be unable to recover. It took two years before she finally passed, barely having the strength to leave bed.
It was during those two years that Nyte learned to sew and make something from a pile of cloth. When her mother died her father took it pretty hard but dragged Nyte out to learn how to check and reset the traps now that she would have to get meals for her brothers.
A year later a mining accident took away the use of her father's legs, crippling him and leaving it to Nyte to care for them, for the most part. Her father was quick to set up in The Hob, selling wood carve kitchen essentials, but also become a sort of..Meat Trader/Pelt Broker. She would trap the beasts needed and her father would then sell them.
