BEATRIX HADLEY || AVOX || FIN.

Beatrix's beauty is not classical, but that doesn't mean she is unattractive. Her hair is the color of the sun, an ironic trait for somebody who is less than bright and happy. She has fairly tanned skin, and a pair of dark blue eyes that stand out against her complexion. Her cheekbones sit high on her face and her jaw is slightly squared. She's got an athlete's build and skin that's free of blemishes. As for her expressions, you'll probably never see any warm ones. Her "human" emotions seemed to disappear when she was avoxed, and for the most part, her expression remains stone.

Her hair is an unusual color, even for a blonde. It hangs down to her shoulders and constantly kept straight, and she even has a few pieces of hair cut short into bangs. Her clothing is never too fancy, but just enough so that the Capitol will accept it. Her wardrobe is usually composed of dark or gentle colors, such as soft blues and blacks. She has pale eyebrows that arch just in the slightest over two pools of deep blue, and they fit her face-shape well.

Beatrix Hadley is a woman you want on your side, but unfortunately, people hardly realize that you can make that list. She's a cold-hearted woman, and whether that came from living in District 12 or becoming an Avox is unknown even to her. She's a cynical being and hardly thinks she can trust many, and she hardly thinks she can even trust herself anymore.

To those she loves, which aren't many anymore, she is fiercely protective. She may not trust herself, but she can put her trust in those she does love. Though she does have feelings deep down, she despises those who avoxed her and ruined her life, and that isn't something you can simply forget. After the incident, Beatrix grew a shell. On the outside, there's a renegade killer that you hope you don't cross paths with even though she can't talk. But if you get on her good side, which rarely happens, she can be a loyal companion.

Beatrix defies the characteristics that are usually given to women in society. She's a big ball of fierce independence and total confidence, even if others have lost their confidence in her a long time ago. Her facade seems to disappear around young children, though, when she is so lucky as to come across one, and she becomes rather maternal as opposed to the warrior she is away from the young beings. Back into history, only males were tempted to become warlike or aggressive, and Beatrix puts that assumption to bed. Though she is cold, she echoes the ancient tradition of female empowerment.

Beatrix was born to Evengeline and Thomas Hadley, but these two were no ordinary couple. Evengeline was a loving woman and did everything she could to make sure Beatrix survived in one of the poorest districts in Panem. Her father, on the other hand, was a raging alcoholic and wasn't much use to the family at all. He suffered of Huntington's Chorea, a genetic disease that leaves one's body slowly deteriorating. Often times Mr. Hadley would lash out at Beatrix for the smallest things, and Beatrix grew to despise him as she grew up.

When the blonde was fifteen years old, her father murdered her mother in one of his medical outbursts. Whether he knew what he was doing or whether he had the slightest clue was unknown to Beatrix, but after he did so, he ran as the Capitol came to collect him for avoxing. But Beatrix wouldn't have it.

She killed him before the Capitol could touch him, in such a fit of rage that she, at the moment, didn't care about the consequences. He'd killed the only person she'd ever really cared about, and he'd needed to pay for it. Stubborn as she was at fifteen, she was convinced she'd rather be avoxed instead of being sent to the home.

Quickly she realized how bad a decision that was.

She was taken to the Capitol, where she's now used as a servant to the tributes. She's not the most popular Avox there, and just might shoot you a pair of dagger-eyes once you give her an order, even if she has no choice but to do it. She has a fifty percent chance of genetics giving her the lovely gift of Huntington's Chorea, but they chopped off her tongue too quickly for her to tell them anything.

Her mother was skilled in the art of sign language, and so Beatrix knows it well, but that certainly doesn't make her want to tell the Capitol anything at all.
