Delia Starr // D3 //

Name: Delia Louise Starr
Age: 17
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 3
Appearance:

---------------------

Delia has luminous blonde hair that verges on the color of light gold. It is perhaps her most striking feature. It falls in rich, glowing curls. However, when brushed, it becomes frizzy and therefore she is very careful when styling it. She rarely pins it up against her head, lest it is very neatly tucked into a bun or in a pony tail. After being styled, it falls in either very neat, defined locks, or in a completely straight, shiny manner.

Her face is unusually soft looking, with features as kindly-seeming as a puppy, yet as smoothe and innocent as velvet. Her eyes are an grey blue, that she often compares to sewage water. Most find them stunningly pure-looking, despite her opinion that the haziness makes them look 'dirty.' Her nose is slightly upturned, but not so much that it looks piggish. Her lips are thin, but are usually pursed or sealed tightly to hide the mangle of teeth beneath them, which are not attractive in the least. They are slightly crooked. However, a nasty fall a few years ago caused her front two teeth to be badly chipped,and only half of them are visible.

Delia is considerably short for a girl of her age, standing at 5'3, which is much smaller than her siblings, even younger. However, she is grateful for her rapid metabolism. She doesn't have to watch her eating too often, and yet she still stays relatively skinny (despite the jiggle of flub here and there.) She has an outstanding amount of muscle on her legs and abs. Her arms have an even amount, but are less effective.

Personality:

The Good : Delia tends to have a well-oriented mind. She thinks of others and everything she does is coated with good intentions. She is motherly and protective of her friends. However, she is far from clingy and doesn't have issues standing by herself for something she believes in. She is brave when she needs to defend her friends and family, or sacrafice things for them. She is committed and always tries to reach her goals, and fulfill her promises to others. She has a mind for creativity and street smarts, along with a rather good memory.

The Bad: Delia is hot headed and tends to over react to things. She has a habit of assuming the worst of people, or a situation. She also has trouble forgiving people, and even if you are forgiven, she will likely not trouble herself with trusting you. She is somewhat quiet, and keeps things short, brief, and non sugar coated. It is very easy to tell if she doesn't like you, through defensive body position and signals. When she's in a particularly nast mood, she tends to throw things. She can be posessive and manipulative when she feels like it, and tends to react rashly when she doesn't get what she wants. She cheats, uses shortcuts, and may break the rules in this way. She can be offish to people sometimes, openly dismissing others' requests when she's simply not in the mood. She also has a habit of being rather sloppy in her work.

The Skills: Although Delia isn't too much of an athlete, she enjoys running for fun. Although this may sound weird to some, in the past she just enjoyed running through the streets and such. After her lungs started to develop troubles, she became more apt to dance. One thing that existed thrivingly before the complications was her smoothe, velvety singing voice. After, however, she enjoyed singing just as much. She's still capable of alluring people with her voice, but it's much rougher than previous.

The Fails: She isn't one for weapons, warfare, etc. She may cringe at the sight of blood and usually only uses violence when in utter and desperate need. The best damage she's ever done to someone was through kicks, but she's not handy with a knife, sword, or arrows. She's also not very alented when it comes to drawing, or writing, or anything of that sort.

History:

Delia doesn't pride herself with her background or her history. The second born in the Starr family made her into a responsible yet somewhat bratty child. Everyone has that childish phase where they think the world revolves around them, but it happened slightly more often than other children for Delia, and the period, it seems, outlasted that of other little kids. Delia dropped out of school at a younger age than most of her classmates to work in a factory. It was only fitting, seeing as though her family wasn't starving to death, the more money they made, the more they'd have for extra.

Delia also had a younger sister that arrived a year before her. She didn't get along well with her. Then, after Dashica, came two other siblings. She began to get nervous for herself. It was out of selfishness, however. What if her mother and father had so many children that they forgot about her? However, at the time of that thought, she couldn't have been older than ten. Besides, she had another reason to be nervous. One night, her mother went into labor for the sixth time. It was scary, she remembered as much. It wasn't at all like other labors. People seemed to be rushing faster, and she was yelled at, even shrieked at, to stay in bed, by some woman she did not know. She fell asleep, but woke up later to much weeping. Her mother had died giving birth. The baby had survived.

Delia, as overemotional as she was, wasn't angered. She went on with her life. She loved her mother, and will always look for people to blame it on, an undershadow to most of her bitterness towards life. She doesn't mention it. When others mention it, she answers like she would any other question, keeping her cool. She loved her mother, but it's something she can't waste her time on. She DID have six children. That was bound to happen after a while, right?

But Delia simply concerned herself with being a hard worker elsewhere. She took a high paying job in a large factory towards the middle of the district. She didn't know why it was high paying, considering she didn't know what she was manufacturing, and the job was quite easy. However, one night, three months after being employed, she woke up in the midlde of the night, unable to breathe. The factory's pollution, even in the interior, where she worked, had caused complications in her lungs, a hybrid form of lung cancer. She is afraid to go to a doctor, and has not told her family, even though her voice has changed considerably. She has these out-of-breath episodes often, but tries to hide her pain.
