Ryza Avarei - District 10

Standing at 5"7 and weighing 116lbs, blessed with long legs and a lithe figure: Ryza Avarei possesses creamy-white skin, a straight nose, naturally pink lips that concealed a set of white teeth and wavy, dark auburn hair, that falls slightly below her shoulders, which she always kept in a messy ponytail to push them away from her eyes.

Ahh, her eyes. These are her most striking feature, and differs her from the girls in District 10. Why exactly? Her eyes change from one color to the next, without effort, depending on what her mood is and on what she is feeling. When she is angry; they turn to a shade of bright red, when she is happy; they morph to an impressive gold and when she is calm; emerald green. This phenomenon is unexplainable but some indicate theories on failed Capitol experiments. (Discussed later in her History. ü) Ryza's eyes are the reason that most people could see through her since they betray her of what she is trying to conceal.

Her upper body displays two gruesome-looking scars. One goes from her right shoulderbone and extends three inches downwards and the other is somewhere near her stomach which only shows that one of her kidneys are missing (short stabbing pain emit from this area sometimes).

Let's begin with the.. negative side.

Ryza may look like someone directly taken out of a story book but that doesn't explain her unpredictable mood swings and heinous deeds that would have been punishable with the cutting of tongues when caught. She goes on rampages over the smallest things: Ryza delivered a spin-kick to one of her classmates when he stole her lunch as a joke.

She also continues to push onto her belief even when it's very obvious that she's wrong. And did I mention? Ryza loves to eavesdrop on people's conversations, always thinking that she was their topic. Has horrible trust issues because she is too afraid to be attached to something. Will hurt you if you come too close or take her by surprise. These resulted on no one even trying to makes friends with her, and thus, she never talks to anyone but her foster family.

And now, the positive side..

Despite being a social outcasts, Ryza highly respects those who persevere to break open her walls and still try to communicate with her. When she becomes attached to something or someone (her worst and unavoidable fear), she will protect it with all her might. She is hardworking, honest, and responsible.

Ryza Avarei recalls but a few years of her past, starting from the time her biological father sold her to The Capitol in exchange for a day's supply of food. She can't even remember her true name.

On the age of 15, she spent the hours of everyday running errands around the District she was born in. She hoped that with the small wage she earned, together with those of her sister and mother, they would be able to provide food for them on that day. Sadly, her coldhearted father couldn't stand the hunger that when her mother and sister had left for their jobs, he had tied her up and shortly after, two Peacekeepers came and took her away.

She also recalls celebrating her birthday in an all-white cell, presented by loads of injections, containing hot fluids, as gifts. She couldn't even sing her own birthday song for the color-splattered people experimenting on her kept a thing plastered on her mouth the whole time. After what seemed like forever to Ryza, someone came to take her away and escaped with her to District 10.

Her rescuer/foster father, Hawthorne Avarei and his wife, Olivia gave her the name Ryza, which came from the scientific name of rice. They also formulated an identity for her. Sadly, they must keep in hiding to avoid being caught so Ryza is left to provide for them all.

Running short on funds and starving everyday, Ryza silently wishes on entering The Hunger Games and coming home alive. She doesn't know if she'll make it, but she certainly must try.
