Age: 12
Gender: female
District/Area: 12
Appearance:
Ashes has long dark hair that she usually wears tied back in some way. She has bid deep-set dark blue eyes. She is about average height for her age (exactly five feet) and is very thin and pale. She doesn't take much care in her appearance usually wearing clothes that are years old even if she had better ones and her hair doesn't get brushed unless Dustin takes the time to do it. She also has burn scars on her right hand and shoulder that she got when she was five and eight respectively.
Personality:
Ashes personality is a reflection of her 'brothers' she mimics his speech and body movements sub-consciously and even tends to think along the same lines. Even her name is the one that Dustin gave her. She doesn't say much and is happy to let Dustin speak for her but she is always listening and has a nearly perfect auditory memory. She let's Dustin think he's protecting her but she knows the opposite is true and she almost never leaves his side. When they are apart, however, she can go completely unnoticed both because people are so used to seeing them together and because she is excellent at sneaking around. She also has a fascination with fire. Where most people in district twelve would see it as terrible for her it has only been the cause of improvement in her life.
History:
When Ashes was five six children had gone missing. When they were finally found next to a burning building Ashes was among them. Having never been reported lost or even born by anyone in the districts the peacekeepers where set to send her to the community home but Dustin stepped in claiming her as his sister. His parents let Ashes (the name Dustin gave her) into there home, his father because he always wanted another child, his mother because the age gap between them meant that they could take out another six years worth of tesserae. Dustin's mother refused to let anyone spend any money in there house unless it was absolutely necessary. She would force Dustin to take out tesserae even when they could afford to buy food and would beat him when his father was away in the mines. A house fire when Ashes was eight killed Dustin's mother and left his father too injured to work in the mines. It also left them all with years worth of hoarded money that Dustin's father used to open up a small shop that they all live over together. Ashes life would seem to be perfect now, and to her it is, but she is hiding a few secrets. She was the cause of both fires in her life and even though she's told everyone she doesn't remember anything before she was five, she does. She remembers her sadistic biological father who was going to kill those children because he couldn't kill her, she embers freeing them and realizing that if they got away he would kill her, she remembers lighting the fire under his bed as he slept.

If it's ok with you guys I'd like to play Ashes and Dustin Summerfield as one character (like have them speak and act in the same post) Unless of course one gets chosen for the Hunger Games without the other
