Tori Andrews - District One

Tori could very well be a model, if she chose. She is 5'6" tall, and weighs 125 pounds. She is quite skinny, with good curves. She has dark blonde, frizzy, wavy hair that falls in curls and tangles at her shoulders. Sometimes in the shadows, her hair looks a red-brown color. Her eyes, although rather dull, are olive green with brown near the pupil. She normally goes barefoot, which is odd in her district. But Tori doesn't care, barefoot is better than cramped shoes.

Tori is always underestimated because of her looks. Her cheeks flush a rosy pink. Her skin has a good tan to it. Although she looks fragile and 'too pretty to do anything violent', she shakes her head, her blonde hair bouncing slightly. She tosses a knife and it lodges into a nearby tree. "Don't underestimate me," she says, turns on her heel, and heads back into town.

Hey, I'm Tori! If you are like most people, don't interrupt me. If you aren't like most people, and actually understand the importance of not underestimating people, then congratulations! Now listen up. I'm not gonna repeat this. Might want to take notes.

I'm not trying to be snobby. Really, I'm not. Sometimes I just am, and I can't help it. It doesn't help any that a lot of people are jerks, but whatever - are you writing that down? Don't write that down. Anyways. I love animals. I hate killing. But I will if I must. A skill I've learned through the years is plant gathering. Berries are good. Tart but sweet at the same time. Not to mention they make a good natural lip coloring. But that's not important. Let's move on, shall we?

Boys are awful. I tend to stick with my best friends. Unless you are the right guy, you don't stand a chance, you hear? Friendship is good. Idiot guys are not.

I'm good with a knife. Best with a sword. Bows and arrows are okay. Camouflage is not my best skill, but I'm smart enough to stay in the shadows. I can scale a tree pretty fast, but I don't like heights. Unless it's a life or death situation. Then it's okay. Basically, I train a lot with my dad. Mainly because I'm a Career. I want to get in this game. It seems exciting, and dangerous at the same time.

Let's talk about flaws now. Um...let's see...I don't like blood. Blood makes me queasy. I don't like dogs. I just don't like them. I have no idea why. Foxes are good though. Okay...I tend to be stubborn. Sometimes I can get a little over emotional and start yelling my head off at people. I can be violent if I want to. And one more thing that doesn't help things. I'm deaf in my right ear. Born that way, and I hate it. It doesn't help with training or with the games, but I have to live with it.

I believe that is it...

My family consists of my mum, my father, my two brothers, and our cat. My mum stays at home and takes care of us. Dad works at the marketplace in town. Sometimes my older brother and I go to help him. Usually I roam around and help people find stuff.

My other brother shares a special bond with our cat, Bumblebee. Don't ask about the name, my little brother named the cat. Bumblebee is evil, if you ask me. The cat is blind in one eye and brings home dead, rotten, smelly mice nearly every day! Then again, he is...okay, I guess.

My older brother, Joshua, was born first, then me, then Isaac. Joshua says he'll go off on grand adventures in a year or two. I say he's just being a show off. Then again, what do I know? Isaac spends his time roaming around town and spending the little money he is given on these delicious crackers stuffed with goat cheese. I don't even know where he gets them, but I don't care. They're delicious.

While I'm still here I'll tell you a story. When I was little, probably...six? Or five. Anyways, when I was little, I would explore town. Oftentimes mother would be cleaning the house and suddenly realize I was gone. She'd go about the whole town, yelling for me and asking people if they knew where I was. Most of the time, I was in the marketplace, snatching oranges from the merchants, who would make a fuss. Either they'd get mad or they'd let me have it. But oranges are delicious. And snatching them from the merchants was even more fun. I guess I was just born a 'troublemaker'. It was the most fun I'd had for a while, until mother found me. Anyways, I'll stop here. See you around!

Oh yeah. 'And may the odds be ever in your favor'!
