Taylor King District 2

Taylor is quite beautiful but in the natural sense of the word as she has long brown hair that goes down her back, as well as lovely blue eyes that can stare into a person’s soul if one looks close enough they also have a almost haunted look to them. Though these two things are nice it is her face that stands out she looks younger then she really is and that is what sometimes sets her apart from the others, the rest of her body is not bad she is small and tiny with small muscles from years of training but the thing is that she never developed like she should have and the curves and other area’s are not there and it haunts her at times.

Regarding cloths she tries to keep things simple, her cloths are usually those that will highlight her better area’s in bright colors. When it is required she will dress up but otherwise prefers jeans and a t shirt to the girly way of dressing. The one thing that you will rarely catch her wearing is makeup, she hates it and avoids it even while most in the area are known for it instead going for natural means to one day get what she wants. Even though people tell her that she is quite pretty she has doubts and finds herself average at best but it usually does not depress her.

Taylor is different from many in her district, while most are pampered she tries to do her best to avoid becoming spoiled by those around her. Often she will spend hours in her room doing what she loves sewing, her grandmother taught her when she was young and she enjoys it as it allows her to relax after training most of the day. She also enjoys cooking although she is not very good at it in most cases the food that she cooks ends up burnt, it is the fact that she never gives up chances are she will never be good at it. Her other likes are archery and sword fighting usually spending her days training it shows in her face which can become hardend at a moment’s notice.

Her views on things can be odd as she sometimes finds herself interested in the games and then other times repulsed by them depending on her mood. It is the thought of competition that has drawn her into being a carrer and she hopes to one day be able to prove to others and herself that she is not just a pretty face, it is when she trains that she can at times take things to far being rough or as was the case one time drawing a dagger on a boy and almost stabbing him in a heated exchange during training. It is her determination that drives her, but it is also that which makes her make mistakes that could become fatel…she becomes overconfident at times.

The people who matter most to her are her friends, when she likes them there is not much she will not do for them. Even if she barely knows you she may give that person the shirt off her back, it comes from not liking to see someone suffer if she can help it. Even if she was picked for the games she would make her kills quick, she would take no happiness in watching someone die and likely turn away unless she had no other choice. Maybe she is not the best career person in the district but she believes that it makes her different, that is what makes her stand out of anyone else and for that she is proud.

Born in district two on a cold night her parents were ready for twins, those plans change though when her brother died in child birth. This alone left both of her parents in distress and though they tried to raise her the care would often come from her grandmother, the two bonded quickly and even though her parents did reenter her life she always had a bond with the woman. By the age of six she had learned to sew and do other things, often designing her own cloths which she would wear around town with pride even if at that age they were a bit crude. She would often times need her grandmothers help when things would become hard.

She never understood the games until she was about seven, she would go and watch the ceramonies with her family she believed that it would be all fun and games. That year she would see a child no more then 12 taken into the arena, her parents sadness was even worse as she realized that it was not all love and games. This would shatter her reality, watching the games that year she found herself disgusted by them but also a bit fascinated with it and by the time she was seven she was training as a Career in hopes that maybe one day she would be able to join in one day. Taking a while to get going she would sometimes find herself behind on things but when it came to combat with a sword or archery she would quickly become good at both with practice, it was these skills that she practiced the most often, she watches the games yearly watching how others live and what she can learn from in hopes that one day given that chance she would not make the same ones.

This past year would be the hardest for her, she would watch her grandmother pass away and it broke something inside of her. for almost two months she would do nothing but sew and stay inside of her room after the funeral. No one would see what she was doing until she was done and on the day of her birthday she would bring down a blanket that she had sewn together in her grandmother’s memory, that same blanket she uses to sleep every night now. Once happy with the finished product she has returned to training, just in time for the next games.
