Althaea Photins, District Three

Name: Althaea Zosime Photins (Altha)
Age: Eleven
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 3
Appearance:

Althaea has wide pale green eyes and shoulder-length straight black-brown hair. She's medium to tall height, 75% for her age. Her weight is 45% for her age, and slim. She's relatively pretty, I guess, but spends so much time looking at her shoes nobody notices it. She wears contact lenses and has dry eyes. Her skin is ashen, like most of the District Three people around.

Her nose is big, so she gets teased a lot about it. Her face is heart-shaped. She spends a lot of time squinting at things, because her contact lenses prescription changed ages ago, and she can't afford another pair of glasses, which she breaks constantly. See Personality, she's clumsy.

Other than that, she looks pretty normal, besides the green eyes. Also, she is not muscular. See History.

Personality:

Althaea prefers to be call "Altha". She's calm and quiet, and almost never loses her temper, though she doesn't talk a lot. One gets the feeling she doesn't like you because she's like that. Also very clumsy. She got contacts because she couldn't afford to lose/break/mutilate another pair of glasses.

Her parents always criticized her about how she's doing everything wrong, which caused her to become withdrawn and always panicking that she's doing it incorrectly. She has almost no confidence and is always fearful she's going to have to make big decisions when she gets out of school.

Other than that, she's a brilliant puzzle solver. To her, the world is a puzzle. She can crack codes, solve logic puzzles, and calculate tons of things in her head. She's just not good at decision-making. As well as that, she has no skill with weapons besides traps.

History:

Her mother died when she was eight, and her father abandoned her for the community home. Ever since then, they've discovered her inventing genius and have given her a pair of contacts so her glasses won't break and so they don't get in the way.

In the community home, she gets bullied a lot over her looks and reservedness. She's very timid, so falls easy prey to them/

Altha is an only child. Her father never really loved her mother anyway, so didn't even look back when he abandoned her.
