Spark North - D3!

Spark North is, well, scrawny. She's five foot four of slightly undernourished female, with only a little bit of padding between her skin and her bones. Her facial features are generally quite friendly, with slightly sleepy eyes and a slightly wide mouth. Her grin's probably her most appealing feature--it's lopsided and shit-eating and self-depreciating and genuine, the kind that makes you feel like you're in good company.

As for her eyes, the right one's a pretty normal brown, and the left one's milky and strange and she sometimes likes to wear makeshift masks and eyepatches to cover it up, although other times she doesn't bother, depending on where she's going and who she's meeting up with. Her hair's blonde with light blue tips (she does the blue herself using a variety of household chemicals and blue raspberry Kool-Aid, or the Panem equivalent of it--thanks to that person in cbox that let me jack their idea, btw!)--she's got bangs that flip upwards and shaggy hair that goes down to maybe an inch or two above her collarbone, with a random braid down the left side that's a bit longer than the rest of her hair.

She also always wears a glove on her left hand and fingerless gloves on her right, to try to make the fact that her left hand is missing the last two fingers slightly less obvious.

As a whole, she's quite good-natured. She'll shrug/laugh off any insults slung at her--even if they're about her milky eye and/or missing fingers. Actually, she's not sensitive on those subjects, contrary to what you might think--she's a pretty "live and let die" kind of person, and she figures that since her eye and lack of fingers hasn't killed her, it can probably only make her stronger. And besides, just laughing stuff off means that not only do you get to laugh, but you can avoid a fight, as well.

It's pretty easy to make her smile, and she doesn't really like taking things seriously--she prefers just shrugging off serious things and not really thinking about them too much. She's pretty slow to anger, and quick to forget, so it's hard to get her to hold a grudge--or, for that matter, keep a goal in mind. Her only real ambition in life is to maybe scrounge up enough to buy herself some nice, well-crafted artificial fingers so that she can wear fingerless gloves on both hands, and she likes to try to avoid too much responsibility.

Although she can get along with just about anyone, she doesn't like serious people much, and she doesn't really like people that take themselves too seriously, either. She will tolerate them, though, for the sake of avoiding argument/confrontation more than because she believes in tolerance. In the end, she just really likes to live and laugh and run (she's a ridiculously fast runner), and she doesn't let much bother her.

Spark North has no last name--Spark North's actually just her first name, one that she gleaned off of an old abandoned book that she found when she was little. As far as her family goes, she doesn't know much about them--actually, she doesn't know anything at all. Her earliest recollections are her as a toddler trawling around the streets on the shadier side of District 3 alone, and trying her best to survive.

With the aid of a few kindhearted fellow slum people here and there, Spark North (or Spor, or Nork, or Sparky, or North, whichever you want to call her, she doesn't really mind) has managed to grow up to be a pretty decent gal without much by way of parenting. Her unconventional upbringing has taught her to be quick on her feet and quick to read situations, because, naturally, it's somewhat hard to survive in the streets otherwise.

Nowadays, she scrounges enough to get by on by doing odd manual labor jobs here and there, the kind that don't require much education, because she can read and write and do basic math, but nothing too far beyond that. She doesn't have an actual house, but she can go without, because she knows the back streets of District 3 like the back of her hand (having grown up in them!) and can almost always find a decent place to spend the night. If not, there's always lots of lonely hearts with houses and beds they're willing to share out there, no matter what district, and she goes and finds one.
