Dinah; District 11

Dinah is a small girl, measuring 4'11" and weighing in at 75 pounds. She has natural tan skin, comparable to the Native Americans we know of in our world. Her hair is a dark brown, appearing black in most light. She has rather plain brown eyes that are highlighted by the emotions shown through them.
Her hands and feet are calloused from working in the orchards to collect produce. As she's more interested in working to provide for those in her District than in keeping herself presentable, she is often seen in the same filthy clothing and with a lot of dirt on her. For convention's sake she keeps her hair in a braid down her back, as she's found that it keeps it out of the way when she works.

Dinah enjoys the company of others and works hard to see them smile. As far as she seems to understand, the world is generally good. She makes excuses for the bad things that people do because she doesn't want to believe that anyone is entirely bad.
Unfortunately this makes her extremely naive. She is taken advantage of at school, work, and at home. Even if she realized this, she wouldn't do much about it. As far as she's concerned, her job is to make others happy, even at her expense.
She loves music and nature. Even the Capitol's creations, from jabberjays to tracker jackers to mutts, she would sooner try to observe than to kill. She considers most animals that are thought to be threats as just misunderstood and if given the chance will defend them if they're being killed for sport or just to be rid of them. She doesn't especially mind, though, if the animal is to be used for food and clothing.

Dinah has grown up in a family that consists of herself, her father, her older brother, and her young sister. Her mother died giving birth to her sister ten years ago, and it's been hard for her father to raise his three children on his own. As soon as she was old enough to work she started to help and try to earn money.
Her brother was thirteen the first time he got in trouble with a Peacekeeper. He'd refused to watch that year's Hunger Games, and once his resistance to go was high enough, he was taken into town and lashed twice. Since then he's had few mishaps with them, but occasionally he'll try to start something. Dinah, although four years younger, has made a point to stop him when he tries.
Her younger sister is selectively mute. She's always following Dinah, at least when they aren't in school, and tries to help with things. At home Dinah's sister does most of the cleaning and cooking so Dinah can work longer and try to find odd jobs suitable for a twelve-year-old. Neither of them seems to picture life in the future, or what it could be. They're content with having each other and their work.
