Nara Valentine, District 9

Nara is fairly average in size and not particularly attractive, but is stronger than she looks due to running with a spear while hunting. Her messy dark brown hair contrasts greatly with her pale skin; cut short to frame her round face and hanging slightly in front of colourless eyes. It is held back in short pigtails while hunting. Nara is usually found wearing a large jacket because she gets cold easily due to low blood circulation - a hereditory condition. She hates wearing open shoes, preferring her laced joggers.

Nara is generally disorganized, and hard to annoy. But, on the rare occasion she does get fired up, one should watch out because it is but a short step from cutting words to violence. The girl isn't shy, talking to complete strangers and inanimate objects often, but it takes time to befriend her. She never hesitates to get her point across in the most bizarre ways. Nara enjoys rainy days immensley, because it usually means her target of hunting is trapped and hiding from it. Also, she just really likes water. And cherries. She will do anything for cherries. It may be a little stupid of her, but Nara thinks the Hunger Games is a foul form of entertainment but will never happen to her - it's the type of thing that happens to a friend of a friend.

Nara lives with her two sisters, Dawn(17) and Hazel(19), being somewhat of a 'miracle child' after her mother miscarried twice and died giving birth to her due to a defect in her system. The three are worried that they may have the same problem in future, not having enough money for the propet medical procedures to find out. Her father is naturally very protective, but not overly so. he only wishes the best for his three daughters. Though she is gone, Nara's mother was one of the best hunters in the District, so the girl has a lot to live up to. Despite being born blind in her left eye, she aims to become a great hunter.
