Elise Wheaton: District 11

Elise is a very tall, strong female who dominates over her male counterparts. She has thin golden yellow hair that falls down to her upper back and is layered and textured from being deteriorated. She is about 6’0’’ tall and is tan from her years in the field. Her golden hair and her tan skin complement each other but are masked by an evident burn scar that runs light red from her left ear, down the side of her face, her neck to her shoulder and all the way down her left arm. Despite her scar, she also has seductive green eyes. She has thick eyebrows that are a dark blonde color, adding a powerful and strong look to her girlish face.

Her jaw is very angular and sharp, pointing upwards adjacent to her small ears that hide behind her hair. Her nose is slightly freckled which stands above a pouty, luscious set of lips that are a light pink color. Her face is dirt stained on top of her deep tan skin and scar and continues down her neck, which is long and straight. Her shoulders are thin but muscular and hold up her strong arms that excel in the art of labor. They have small veins that pop out of her upper arm lower under arm regions that show case how strong she is. Her chest is not large but not flat, developed as any other woman. Her upper stomach shows ribs sticking out from her lack of consummation of food and her lower stomach is flat and carved with abs. Her waist is very skinny but has muscular bones that poke out of her hips.

Her thighs are very muscular and strong, appearing large but solid. Her knees are darker than her tanned legs, having grass and dirt stains that she does not bother to remove after working all day. Her calf muscles are like a horse, and propel her forward while running like a Clydesdale. Her legs are the longest of her limbs and add a womanly, seductive quality to her boyish strength. Her feet are large and high-arched and are dirt and grass damaged from working barefoot. Her nails are unclipped, having little money and resources, but they do not take away from her stunning appearance.

To others, Elise is a beautiful girl who is covered with imperfections. They see her as a treasure that has been damaged and hurt. She is often snickered at, laughed at, and grosses people out with her red burn scar and uncared for body. If she was fixed up, she could potentially be gorgeous, but for now, she is just a daddy's girl from a small farm.

Elise is as tough on the inside as she is on the outside. She is a very headstrong a focused worker who lets little interruption into her life. She is tough on her friends and is a big tomboy. She rarely talks, but when she does, it is structured to sound powerful and important.

She never complains, is greedy, or has visible signs of annoyance. She is a very hard book to read. She is very smart, which few people can tell by her quiet, reserved, and unpronounced actions. Elise can seem condescending, but is really just so physically intimidating that you expect her to be mean. She does not waste her time trying to make friends and gossip; she tries to stay happy and working, afraid to let anyone down.

Elise also is experienced with killing animals, having to put down horses, cows, and killing chickens for other people's meals. Because of this, she is stone faced when she kills, being used to seeing the light leave a soul. She is very experienced with hunting and weapons and can actually catch many fast animals when they escape. She is an archer and horse rider, which gives her experience with weapons and being able to get into an animal’s head. She knows how they think and act, which helps her figure out people, too.

Elise is a very haunted innocent girl who has very thick skin. Her mother's death and her accident turned her very self-conscious and afraid of living. Her mother was her best friend, and her death contributed to the absence of friends in Elise's life. Elise is very skeptical of people, trying not to be attached to things that she can lose. She is very strong and actually handsome in a way, a trait that she despises. She is very shy about relationships with guys, and often conceals her feelings out of embarrassment because she feels like she has more masculine qualities than most of them.

Elise was raised in a poor family who was rich by association, meaning they were technically a part of a rich family, but was so separate that they shared none of the money. She lives with her dad in a barn, sleeping among the horses and cows. She often sleeps in a horses stall with it when it thunderstorms or it is injured to comfort it.

Her dad is a well-known farmer with a well-known hard working daughter who has a high reputation for production of foodstuffs. Her dad often bargains in town for all of their food, not being entitled to any of the food their cows, goats, chickens and plants produce. Their home is property of a wealthy family named the Henson’s in which they let Elise and her dad work for even wages, meaning they work to maintain the house and keep their sleeping place.

Elise and her dad have not lived in the barn for their whole life. They used to live in a nice cottage in the city with Elise's mom, a courier. When she protested against the capitol and the hunger games 10 years ago, a riot grew in the city of her "harsh claims". She was attacked and harassed for a year.

In the middle of the night in the summer of Elise's 8th year, Elise lay on her side in the 90 degree weather, trying to sleep. She was repeatedly awakened by tapping and banging on the door below her room. When she finally fell asleep, the house was ablaze, set on fire by her mothers enemies. Her father, being away at work on a night shift, was absent, and her mom died in the fire from smoke inhalation before the fire reached the upstairs. In her efforts to wake up Elise and get out, she suffocated and died on the stairs. Elise's bed caught on fire before anything else in her room, and caught Elise's beautiful, long hair on fire. When she woke up, her face and left side of her body had stared on fire and she rolled around on the floor to put it out. In aching pain, she was helped out by her father, and lives with burn scars that echo her mother's death every time she looks in the mirror.

Nowadays, Elise is mandated to attend school by the capitol in which she attains high A's; when she tries. She is a very bright girl, but she doesn't care about academics. She never does her homework- instead coming home to help her father with chores. She works day and night and rarely gets any sleep, a feeling she is used to. She often skips school (with the permission of her father) and is repeatedly in trouble for her absences.

If it is possible for the capitol to fix her burns if she is reaped, I want her to refuse and keep them.
