Verronica Pacifica- D10 Done!

Name: Verronica (Ann) Pacifica
Age: 18
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 10
Appearance:

Verronica has high cheek bones, that give her face a more angled look, and fairly clear skin. She's definitely not cut out for the work in her district, she hasn't got strong arms, or muscly legs. She's just got her own, thin body that has been taken care of by so many worried souls. Verronica has lips that taper to thin points at the end, though they were never full in the middle. Her smile is completely care free, just like everything else around her.

She carries an air of innocence around with her, because she's been protected from the horrors of the world by simply ignoring them. You'd think that wouldn't be easy, but sometimes it's like she lives in her own world. Her eyes carry a far-away look about them, as if she doesn't really care what you're doing, or why. She's completely indifferent.

Her eyes are a yellowish green, though from a distance they do not appear to be so. From a distance they appear to be dark green. Her gaze is so concentrated for no particular reason sometimes, it unnerves people. She's forever brushing strands of silky black hair out of her eyes, and back behind her slightly pointed ears.

Her hair is long and delicate, rather like her. It falls to just below her shoulder blades, and she has no bangs. People always tell her to put her hair up, do something with it, but it's so slippery it's impossible. Literally- the hair bands fall right out, and mess it up even more. The good side of that is that she has an easier time brushing it in the morning.

She's tall, about 5 foot 8. Verronica tries to make herself seem shorter, because she feels awkward when she looks down on adults. She always wears flats, or no shoes at all, which earns her some pretty weird looks. Verronica tries to avoid short people, and feels most comfortable with people taller than her. It's just one of her little quirks.

Personality:

Verronica is a sweet, far away person who tends to forget things, a lot. It's almost like amnesia, but not really. She just forgets things for no reason, and remembers events in her life that had absolutely no consequence. For instance, the first time she saw a cow is etched into her mind, while her Mother's name is gone. Verronica has to be reminded constantly of her basic chores and habits, that keep her alive. Her caretakers even have to make sure that she remembers what that gnawing feeling in your stomach called 'hunger' means. It's hard for them, easy for her.

She gets light headed often, but hasn't fainted yet. It's at the oddest of things- anything out of place will usually make her feel like this. Sometimes, to get attention, she plays this out more than she should, and rolls her eyes back into her head, as well as pretend to fall over. Then, Verronica jumps up and laughs when she scares people. She's mischievous around everyone, even imp like in her delight at others horror.

Sometimes she goes too far, being cruel, albeit unintentionally. This is part of her dark side, the kind that you only see when she's under stress, or really, really hyper. She loooovvveeessss caffeine, but no one gives it to her. She's energetic enough already.
After all, she loves to run, and will at any opportunity she gets. Her favorite time is during early morning, when there's a thin layer of mist over the district. Then she can run without any scrutinizing eyes. People often worry that something might happen to her during these morning runs, but it's the one thing she does consistently without being reminded.

History:

Verronica has a family, but the way that they treat her is complicated. She's gone from foster home to foster home since she was three, and now a days, she lives in the community home, for the moment at least. She's so needy, that most places toss her out within a month because they cannot cater to her cares. So far, the home, with its fairly large funds is doing well as to keep her alive. Some of the people there despise her, but most treat Verronica like a doll, that one can dress up, and play with without it talking back to you. She lets them do that- after all, it's not like she notices. The younger girls love her for playing dress up with them, since she does that if they get the guts to ask her.

As I said before, she has a family, but why is she in the home then? Because they can't take care of her. She was an accident really, her parents didn't want another child. At the age of two they dumped her on her aunt, who goes by the name of Nicolette. Her aunt was a distasteful little *coughcough* who thought children are wastes of precious space. She kept Verronica because she was her sister's daughter, nothing more. Eventually, even that wasn't enough to constantly groom and feed her, so she handed her over to the next person. And the next. Soon no one would take her- that's why she's at the house now.

She doesn't really value family, as she hasn't stayed with anyone for longer than a year. Her closest friend is probably an old blanket that she's had since her birth- she brings it with her whenever she moves. Verronica has not yet held her first job, and probably never will. She calls the blanket, 'Squish.' Yes, it is a childish name, but she was really, really young when she named it. Honestly, Verronica hasn't felt the need to change it either, since it means a lot to her.
