Crystal Smith (District One)

Crystal is tall (about 5'11'') and slim. She has layered blond hair with lots of different coloured highlights that range from wight to brown. She has fair skin that burns easily, which is how you'll usually see her because she spends so much time outside. She has light brown eyes which she is always squinting because she needs glasses. She does wear contacts but they still make her squint. Crystal likes to dress in light colours and is usually seen in a loose white top and either shorts or light fabric pants. You will almost never see her in a dress or skirt, nor will she ever wear make-up. The only thing that keeps people from thinking of her as a tom-boy is how long she grows out her hair.

Crystal is quiet and a little bit odd. She says things that sometimes don't make sense or are just awkward. She is embarrassed by this and sometimes thinks there's something wrong with her because she can't ever say the right things. That is why she's so quite, better then embarrassing herself. Crystal is works best with a routine and gets nervous to the point of panic when she doesn't know what to do with herself. In fact she gets near panic about many things, what people think about her, having to talk to people, having to do things without instruction, and most commonly The Hunger Games.

Crystal is a career because her father wants her to be. She is an only child because her mother had such a difficult pregnancy with her. It's clear to Crystal that her father would have preferred her to be a boy, a career, to win the Hunger Games for them and make them all rich. She became a career to impress her father, who was a career himself but he never volunteered for the Hunger Games, and she actually enjoys it. The repetition and scheduled days are meditative and relaxing to Crystal. It's the thought of actually fighting without any kind of direction that makes her nervous. She is good at being a career but lacks any kind of instinct, bravery, or social skills, that would be necessary in the arena. So she just trains every day to keep her mind away from what she's actually training for.
