District/Area: District 3
Appearance:
Mahlah will more than likely the skinniest kid you will ever meet. With straight black hair falling into her eyes and dipping past her shoulders, and skin so fair you can see the blue of her veins crawling under her skin.
The only Shea child gazes through thick glasses (that happen to have a few small nicks in them) that hide her mysterious light gray eyes. They are so light, in fact, that [without her glasses on] people mistake her for a blind girl.
Mahlah is small in stature. Hardly any muscle, bony fingers and a height that no body envies. Standing at a full 4'11" Mahlah is the shortest in her class and family.
Across her light skin, Mahlah is dotted with a few dark freckles that her mother calls beauty marks. However to Mahlah beauty marks are the elegant dots on a woman's face on her upper lip, or placed high on her cheek, not on her toes or upper arms.
Mahlah is still young, has a young face and no curves to speak of on her body. Of course that would be expected for a someone who hasn't "become a woman" yet.
You could say Mahlah is in her awkward phase but sometimes she doubts that it will end.
Personality:
What Mahlah lacks in size she makes up for in personality. She's usually not afraid to let her opinion known and has a reputation of being "weird" with her fellow classmates. What they call weird is Mahlah's OCD.
Mahlah is obsessed with the number 3. If she has 4 of something she tosses one aside. She also has to enter a room on her right foot. Mahlah has many fears but the two worst are of bugs and blood. This makes the Hunger Games torture. Every year she's in agony and often ends up crying under a blanket, trying to shield herself from the images because once she sees a gruesome picture of blood and bits of tributes, it engraves its self into her brain and she can't forget it. The pictures will pop up randomly in her day and horrify her. In order to keep the images from revealing themselves in her brain, Mahlah snaps her fingers every ten minutes.
It may not do anything but it comforts her.
Mahlah tries to work through her OCD, being outgoing and and humbled by her position, she's a nice person. She's rather bright and could have a successful future in front of her. Well as successful as you can get with the Games hovering over your head and being stuck in a limited environment.
She has a wild imagination, which often leads to her episodes. She'll start out with a daydream during class then somewhere down the road it takes a turn and the teacher ends up sending her out of the room. This only makes Mahlah work harder against the forces that try to hold her back.
History:
Mahlah is only child of Reed and Dona Shea. This is her first time for the Reaping and to make up for all the trouble she causes, Mahlah took a tessera much to the horror of her family. She wants to be independent and this was her start. Even though the mere thought of being in the Hunger Games makes her snap her fingers 3 times. She wouldn't last in there, everyone knew that.
Mahlah is a normal citizen of District 3, still in school... learning. Trying to make ends meet.
Her mother was always the one to look over her and comfort her during her episodes and Mahlah really doesn't want to feel like a burden to her mother anymore. Mahlah strives to be what she pictures as "normal." She'll make her mother proud, even if she has to snap straight through the day.
