Appearance

"When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change"

When you look at Crystella, the first thing you notice is her hair. Her roots are the darkest part of her hair, being a light brown, and her hair gets lighter and lighter as you travel down. Her hair ends right above her chest with bleach blonde tips. Crystal's hair is often donned with waves and curls, and every so often she wears her hair up. Her hair, as it is for most girls, is a very important accessory, and she takes pride in styling us.

Crystal's oval-shaped face is decorated with two almond shaped eyes, a long triangular nose, and full lips. The skin on her face is a little bit more pale than the rest of her ivory skin. Her eyes are a shade of brown that can be described as milk chocolate, which also have a few gold flecks in it. They're nothing special, they never change colors, but they are surrounded by long eyelashes. She rarely ever needs to wear mascara because their already so long. Her nose fits awkwardly onto her face; it's not a cute small nose like most people she knows have. Crystal is embarrassed by how long her nose is and hopes to one day have plastic surgery. To counter with her her long nose, Crystal has a pair of full lips, which she often paints lip gloss on. Since her cheeks are never hollow because she is well fed, her chin is nicely rounded, but can sometimes be found covered in concealer.

Crystella is not tall, nor is she short. She's about 5'5", which is normal for girls her age. She is just barely normal weight at 115 lbs, and if she lived in any of the middle/lower districts she would probably be very underweight. Her arms are very long and thin and are normally weak, but during training she excels as things like throwing knives and shooting bows. Crystella's arms are considerably shorter than her legs, though, so don't ask her to touch her toes. Trust me, you'll be there for a while.

Like her arms, Crystal's legs are thin and long. She's good at running, but she can't run very fast. She runs a little faster than normal, but if she tries to go too fast, her leg muscles tense up and she has muscle cramps around her ribs. Her trainer figured out her pains early on in Crystal's training, so they do very few running exercises. Her training is every weekday from 4 pm to 7 pm.

Crystal wears very tight and girly clothing. She wears outfits like short skirts and tight blouses, short dresses, and tank tops with sports shorts. Her motto is "the more skin the better." She was taught at a very young age by her sister to wear skimpy outfits. You'd think her parents would persuade her to wear different clothing, but her dad is always working and her mother is usually shopping or at parties. Her sister is her main influence for choice of clothing, but Crystal tries to at least choose accessories, like her shoes and jewelry. If her sister doesn't approve though, Crystella has no choice of anything.

Personality

"You say I'm a kid, my ego is big"

Crystal is a very big social butterfly. She feels comfortable talking to any kind of person, but she tends to stray away from the nerdy/unpopular/"ugly" kids. She's very judgmental and bases people's personalities off of first impressions. For example, Crystal picked out who would be her best friend by choosing the girl who was the best dressed that day. ~~Crys's best friend is really a backstabbing bitch, though. What Crys doesn't know won't hurt her, right?(;~~

Growing up with an older sister and brother influenced Crystal's personality very heavily. On her thirteenth birthday, her brother took her to a bar. Actually, they went to a restaurant with a bar, and just sat at the stools, but it was a bar all the same. Ever since that, her sister taught her to be manipulative and seductive. Crys's older siblings sneak her into bars so she can practice her skills. They know that their little sister needs to have tactics if she's ever reaped, and they feel this is the only way.

Crys's older sister has convinced her that to prepare for the games, she needs many friends with benefits and one night stands. This is no problem for Crys since she is such a big social butterfly. She's turned out to be very manipulative, which is an added bonus to her "private training." Her real trainer has no idea that this has been going on, though. Her trainer tries to deflect Crys from turning into her sister by bringing out Crys's excellent problem solving skills.

There are many things about Crys that you would never guess by just looking at her. She's actually quite bright, and, like I said before, she is excellent at solving problems. Her trainer has also discovered that she has a very good sense of direction and if things are edible or poisonous. Something you probably wouldn't have guessed is that Cry gets these sense because she loves being outside and around plants. She hopes that after her final reaping, she will move out of her parent's house and buy a house with a big backyard and a huge flower bed. Her dream is to have a garden in her backyard filled with fruits and vegetables.

Another thing that you might not guess is that she loves animals. Of course, you can see those silly Capitol residents going around with small animals in their purses, but that's not how Crys is. She also doesn't like to dress pets in clothes. Crys has a pet peeve of giving pets creative names. She hates to see a dog called Patches or a cat called Mittens.

Crys has a small, grey kitten and a small family of bunnies. The bunny family is Crys's own responsibility, but the kitten is more of a family pet. She made sure that she was the one to name the kitten, so it wouldn't be another Fluffy or Whiskers. She named it Artemis, which is the sister of Apollo. Crys loves her bunny family more than her kitten, though. Crys may look, you know.., on the outside, but she can be squishy on the inside sometimes.

History

"Show me yours, I'll show you mine"

Surprisingly, Crystella is ashamed of her history, and she won't tell you it unless she either trusts you, or you have told her your history. Don't worry though, I'll tell you it for her.

Crys has only ever had her two older siblings. They have both been reaped once, but people obviously volunteered for both children. The Apollo's have had generations in District 1 before the Hunger Games even happened. Crys sadly knows that there will be a volunteer for her, but she's been doing everything she can to make sure nobody will want to. She's been acting snotty on purpose ever since she started going to school.

When her brother took her to her first "bar" and her sister started her "private training" with Crys, she couldn't be more thrilled. She knew adding these two aspects to her life would make her less desirable, so she thinks. She hangs out with the wrong people to add to the list. She's kept the act going almost all the way to her fifteenth birthday. Sometime in the middle of March, something snapped in Crys. She realized that she should want people to volunteer for her. I mean she could die.

What used to be an act, was now a reality. Crys started enjoying her training with her sister, and she even cherished the nights when her brother smuggled home spirits. Part of the old Crys was still in her, though. The part that loved animals, the part that loved to garden, the part that was smart. Nobody really knew that these parts still lived inside her until last year.

The day of her birthday, her trainer had taken a kitten from his house over to Crys's. He had heard things about how different Crys was when she wasn't at training, and he wanted to prove them wrong. He left the kitten on the porch, rang the doorbell, and fled to the other side of the house. Crys had opened the door and completely gushed all over the kitten. She picked it up and pulled it close to her. She looked the the sky and whispered, "Thank you." A pet was something Crys had really needed. Somebody to talk to that wouldn't judge you. As Crys stepped inside, her trainer crept out of the bush with a wide grin. He had proven his point.

Later that year, one of Crys's best friends was moving to a lower district. The family just couldn't afford the luxuries of District One anymore, nor could they afford to keep their small bunny family. The family consisted of a mother, two sons, and a daughter. The bunnies had no real names when they were given to the Apollo's, so once again, Crys got to name the pets. The bunnies would be mostly Crys's responsibility, and Artemis would become a family pet.

The mother bunny had fur the color of caramel. It was a mixture of rich orange and brown. The three siblings had a light brown fur, with thin black stripes painted on it. The eldest brother has the most stripes, the younger brother the next largest amount of stripes, and the sister with the smallest. The sister maybe has one stripe. The two brothers are separated by a month, and the youngest brother and the sister by three.

Crys named the mother Bolormaa, which she knew meant crystal mother, so she thought it was a cute, ironic name. She named the eldest son Benjamin, which Cry's mother told her means son of my right hand. Her mother also had a suggestion for the other son, which Crys used. She named the other son Barnaby, which means son of consolation. Crys named the daughter Adanne, which means means resembling the mother, mother's child. (ooc:Sorry if any of these name definitions are wrong, I got them from Yahoo Answers. I know, I'm cheap. x3)

Since she got the bunny family, nothing really exciting has happened to Crys. ~~*cough* That's where you come in!*cough*~~Her days are always the same. She goes to school, training with her trainer, training with her sister, drinking with her brother. Occasionally, she'll fight with somebody in her family. Maybe when she's really busy she'll forget to funny a bunny and it will pee all over her room. One day, she woke up with Artemis on her face. She watches the Hunger Games daily like a good little Career-in-training. The tributes from One have died long ago, but Crys still forces herself to watch. She takes in the tributes mistakes and the things they do right. She hopes that maybe, one day, if she is reaped, knowing all these things will help her survive. Or not.
