Kelsey Paine [District 9]

Despite her tomboyish nature and rather odd disposition, Kelsey is a lovely individual and has looks that stop people in their tracks. Thankfully her beauty is natural, or else she'd have a tough time keeping herself presentable.

Kelsey is a rather small seventeen year old standing at a height of five feet, five inches. Her weight fluctuates between 118 to 125 pounds depending on the seasons. Kel's body is somewhat toned, especially in her arms and calves and adorns various scars due to her hunting and exploration. Her skin is very light with a yellow undertone and thankfully she is blemish free. Although she doesn't show it off much, her physique is quite feminine. She has a rather small bust, but does have a narrow waist. Her hips aren't as pronounced as most girls, but do fit her overall shape proportionally. She is what most typically call pretty, but looks don't necessarily matter to her.

Cee Cee's face is circularly shaped with a rounded chin. Her nose is a very prominent feature, but doesn't overpower her entire visage. She has baby pink lips, and her bottom lip is more plump than the top. Beneath her eyes are a splash of freckles light enough to almost disappear on their own, but they're light brown and there nonetheless. Her eyes are slanted ever so slightly near the creases giving her an almost exotic look. The irises are a striking pale green which occasionally appear gray in certain lights. Her eyebrows are an amber brown in comparison to her vibrant crimson hair. If there's one thing that can catch a stranger's attention, it's her wild red hair. She normally wears it down with her natural waves framing her face, and she has side bangs that can part to either side of her head. Her hair is very choppy and layered and stops just underneath her breasts. She enjoys it most when it takes on a fire engine red appeal, it brings out her eyes.

Clothing is usually an odd part of Kelsey's life. She's an absolute tomboy and therefore usually favors jeans, baggy t-shirts and long-sleeved v-necks. However, during the warmer months she is very keen to wearing tank tops and shorts thus exposing her skin to nature and the elements. She absolutely cherishes a pair of knee-high leather boots that are chestnut in color and wears them religiously. Something about her never seems put together, which normally makes sense because she's a bit "off." Around her wrists are bracelets of all kinds, making her appear somewhat eccentric, but she just enjoys them because of their differing textures. She's definitely a little oddball.

Opening a fortune cookie is always a comforting process. Although the fortune within may be unknown, the certainty of there always being a piece of paper placates anyone. When you break open Kelsey however, you might not necessarily enjoy what you discover.

To say Kelsey is crazy is an understatement, the girl is out of this world insane. Now don't immediately assume that she can't function in society, because she very well can. Kelsey can talk, joke, laugh, cry, smile and maintain conversation like every other individual in Panem. It's what allows her to assimilate in society. A normal exterior is all any stranger can attest to when introduced to Kelsey. It's those however that stay to learn more about her that are bewildered by her true colors.

She named them Kel and Cee Cee; the two individuals that exist in Kelsey's brain. Kel is a sadistic girl that is overly sarcastic and nasty. She is all instincts and no logic. Whatever she wants Kelsey to do, she does automatically. Kel is Kelsey's inner huntress and she keeps Kelsey level headed in extreme and dangerous situations. Whenever Kelsey finds herself talking to Kel she always takes on a scared demeanor and has a slight stutter when she speaks. No surprise why, Kel is a monster.

Cee Cee on the other hand is the friend everyone would love to have. She's sweet and caring and the most outgoing individual. She makes Kelsey feel all warm and happy and occasionally compliments her when the situations calls for it. Cee Cee is considerably baby-like and is overly sensitive. Kel likes to pick on her and when she starts not even Kelsey can get her to stop. Cee Cee tries to make sure Kelsey is an optimistic girl and wants her to succeed in everything she does.

If that weren't enough to make Kelsey appear strange, it gets even worse when she begins talking to them in public. People have labeled her a loon and seriously fear the "voices" inside her head. Kelsey takes comfort in knowing that they're there. She never feels alone. In a way it makes her a chameleon. The two voices in her head help her adapt and adept to her surroundings and ergo her personality can change instantly. It's been hard for her to make any friends, but she doesn't mind. She's got all the company she ever needs, or at least that's what Kel tells her.

Ryan Paine never really enjoyed what his district had turned into. It was once known for it's hunting and trapping and the people were full of life and enthusiasm. Now all he would ever see were people wasting away their lives making plastics and soaps. It was downright unnatural and not what he wanted for his family; or what remained of it.

The Paines were one of the best family of hunters District 9 had ever had the pleasure of housing. Living in a remote little cabin home deep within the forest passed down from generation to generation, the family hunted, skinned and trapped every and any kind of game. The men were trained in the art of snares, knives and spears; the females in bows, and daggers and were also responsible for the skinning and cooking. When the Capitol had moved in they were safe from having to end their livelihood. The forest was their home, and they would rather die than leave it.

The new changes however made the family much more cautious, so hunting was done as stealthy as possible, and trading it was always done in secret. When Ryan was the only one left in his family once his parents died and siblings moved away, he vowed he would continue what his family had been doing for generations. With his girlfriend Jade by his side the two hunted and trapped and lived comfortably.

It wasn't until Jade became pregnant and gave birth to Kelsey that everything changed. Ryan became far more troubled and began to worry Jade. She would find him talking to himself regularly and even had to stop him from hurting himself during a fight of theirs. Fed up with the lifestyle and her partner, Jade left Ryan when Kelsey was four, and never looked back.

Kelsey grew up like a boy, because Ryan refused for her to be dainty and backstabbing like her mother. They hunted, they trapped, and they enjoyed each others company. The voices in both of their heads always soothed them whenever Kelsey would leave for school and Ryan remained home. Soon enough the two were known was the "forest crazies" and no one ever allowed their children near their home. Not like they could anyway, the woods were technically "forbidden" ground.

Her life is one most can't seem to understand, and they never try. Solitude is Kelseys norm and hunting is her life. If she could make a friend both her and her father would be amazed. Living with him is alright for the time being. She's a weirdo by day, but a huntress by night.

What a trip...haha Enjoy! Let me know if anything needs fixing! ^.^
