In reality I'm gon' be who I be and I don't feel no faults
For all the lies that you bought
You can try as you may, break me down when I say
That it ain't up to you, gonna do what you do

Acacia is quite pretty, but, like everyone, she has any number of flaws. She thinks she would be more elegant if her neck was a little longer, if her lips were a little fuller, and if she stood a little taller. She is only around 5'3, and it bothers her that she has to look up at so many people. Her nose is a little too big, her eyes are a bit too wide-set, her jaw is too square for a girl. These all contribute to her unique appearance, but aren't altogether her finest traits, of which she has plenty.

Acacia has exotic-colored skin, which is smooth and soft. Her tanned skin is free of blemishes, excepting a small birthmark over her left knee, which is darker than the rest of her skin and in the shape of a blurry crown. Acacia doesn't consider it particularly attractive, but it isn't very big, and she's grateful for her lack of freckles, because it makes her feel more elegant and gorgeous.

Besides the few imperfections in her face, it really is quite beautiful. She has full pink lips covering mostly white teeth, round cheeks, and finely-shaped eyebrows that arch playfully. Her face usually takes on a sly appearance when she smiles softly, but when she smiles, most often her grins stretch widely from one side of her face to another.

Acacia has dark brown, almond-shaped eyes that contrast their white backdrop nicely. Thick black eyelashes curl upward from her eyelids. She is often told that they are unnaturally long, and some suspicious people have said that she is lying when she tells everyone that she doesn't put on any make-up.

Her hair is sleek and black. It has a natural, healthy glow, and Acacia knows how fortunate she is to have such strong, smooth hair. While most people have brittle and dry hair, Acacia's hair hasn't been dirty or unkempt in a long time. It used to be unmanageable, but since she settled down, she has been able to control it better.

Her hair used to be curly, but has calmed down about since a few years ago. Now, it would be slightly wavy, if it was left to itself, but after being washed, it is easy for Acacia to twirl it around her finger, creating a curl. She never styles it beyond that, however.

Her hair reaches exactly four and a half inches down her back, but she has layers, and some strands of her glossy black hair reach only to her shoulders. Acacia has side bangs that sweep down over her right hair in a long curve, flowing seamlessly into the rest of her dark mane.

She normally wears her hair down, or in a high or low ponytail. She keeps it in loose curls when it is down, or is one loop when it is tied back. It's rare that you would ever see her hair straight or in a different hairstyle. Acacia tends to stick to patterns, and it is easier to just leave it like it is or to simply pull it back.

Acacia has long, willowy arms that contrast her muscular legs. Her arms lack in much strength or muscle, due to the fact that she hardly uses them for much of anything. Her legs, however, she uses for everything. Walking, running, dancing, you name it. She actually enjoys running a lot, long-distance, so her legs aren't too short. They weren't naturally developed for cross-country, but because of her love of it, they adapted, becoming longer.

Her hands and feet are abnormally small, even for her height. Her hands are child-like, often dwarfed by anyone who she compares them to. They've been laughed at before, and Acacia generally takes it in good humor. Her feet would be a size 4, if such a think existed. She is normally imbalanced, making her somewhat clumsy.

Her smallest fingers aren't exactly the same length, and they turn slightly inward to her other fingers. She is double-jointed in her fingers, and is able to make them look like they are broken, something that freaks a lot of people out. Her palms are usually soft, with three distinct lines (among others) that criss-cross each other and then fan out.

The skin on the palms of her hands and the bottom of her feet is a much lighter shade than the rest of her skin. It's only slightly tan. The undersides of her arms aren't quite as dark, either. The sun considerably darkens Acacia's complexion in the summer, and that tan normally stays with her until the following spring, when it begins to pale again. By that time, the sun is coming back, and her skin goes through the same cycle.

Acacia has a lean body, and is quite thin. She has a slightly curvy figure, with a small waist and not-much-bigger hips. Her stomach is thin enough, but if she had any more to eat, it probably would be less firm. Her ribs are visible underneath her shirt, but they aren't horrifyingly prominent. She is fed enough each day so that her stomach doesn't contract painfully.

Her shoulders aren't very wide at all, seeing as she doesn't exercise nearly enough. They measure just over a foot, just a couple inches more than her waist. Her collarbone is elegant and perfectly formed for a necklace to site delicately upon it. Not that Acacia has ever worn a necklace. She has never had enough money.

That being said, Acacia rarely wears anything she would dub "nice". Most of her clothes are old and faded shirts and skirts, or maybe casual pants. Her family doesn't have enough money to spend on new clothes, a fact that Acacia doesn't exactly like, but accepts. She is by no means the most understanding person, but she likes to think that her other features overshadow the imperfections in her clothing.

She does, however, have one nice dress she wears on special occasions. She also has a pair of shoes she is particularly fond of. She feels pretty when she wears the combination, and she likes to spin around in her room, watching the green lace fan out, until she falls over onto her bed.

You can try as you may
Bring me down but I say
That it ain't up to you
Gonna do what you do

Acacia is possibly the most honest, open person in her entire district. She really doesn't have a censor. Whatever she wants to say...she says. Yes, sometimes it hurts peoples feelings. Yes, one time it even broke up a couple. But hey, the guy was cheating on the girl, their relationship wasn't going to last all that long anyways.

But back to the point. Acacia is simply blunt. She speaks the truth in every situation, and sometimes the truth isn't always friendly. A lot of people have called her a freak, or a bitch, and that's their own right, Acacia says. Because she calls them the same things. Her opinions aren't always the nicest, and most people hate her, but sometimes her truthfulness isn't always a bad thing.
