A friend drew for me Atlanta;

Atlanta is roughly 5'6" and weighs 117 lbs. This means she's quite thin for her height and that makes her very agile and her to catch.

She looks very oriental with silver hair which was inherited from her mom and she inherits her pale green eyes from her father. She has always wanted to have long her but as tradition of the family they make her cut her hair so as she doesn't want her hair cut, she puts it up in a bun to make it seem shorter. If let down her hair goes halfway down her back.
She generally trains a lot and as a result of that she is quite musclular, if not a bit too muscular. Although she has muscles she has no idea how to use this in close combat without her sword.

Atlanta is often very rebellious and very much a joker. She has many problems at home because her mom isn't there anymore but she hides her troubles with a coat of happiness. She's skilled with her samurai sword and with blades in general, but many people have told her how great she is and she gets very full of herself most of the time and undercalculated all of her opponents. This leads to her downfall most of her time.
She is sometimes quite big-headed, and although she is really quite beautiful because of her mixed blood she has always been a bit blind towards her beauty. She shows off with pretty much everything and hates it when she loses, but when it comes to her beauty she just brushes off any comments. Because of what happened to her mom she never wishes to fall in love with anyone but loves her family dearly and her best friends.
Although she has many flaws, messy eating and nail biting have always been 2 of her greatest flaws. Although she has these flaws she is very studious too and has had a knack for running very fast. These are all traits and flaws of hers that made her noticable and define her character.

Her parents have always been complicated as her mother was from District 2 and a beauty in that while her father was a handsome fisherman from District 4. They met as they both went to visit the Capitol on the same day and as soon as they met it was love at first site. But when the Capitol heard of this love they forbid it and Atlanta's mother was killed when Atlanta was 7 by the Capitol as a sign to show everyone what would happen if this happened again. Ever since Atlanta has secretly despised the Capitol from the depth of her heart.

She has a younger sister who is 12 called Tiger-Lily. Tiger prefers the small knives that are throwable than the samurai sword that she's being trained in. Tiger can throw her knives with pinpoint accuracy and because of her age and height she can easily move from tree to tree. Although Atlanta knows that Tiger can fend for herself just fine Atlanta would do anything for her younger sister including volunteering for her.

Being from District 4 Atlanta has been trained as a Career Tribute but he wasn't trained at a Career school but at a special samurai school for people of her race.She had already trained as a samurai from a young age. Her swordman skills were legendary but sometimes got too bigheaded and overdid things. Being in the fishing distict she is a strong swimmer and can swim and hunt in the water with ease though she prefers being on land.She is able to use only some weapons, mostly only weapons with blades. She can also throw knives with killing accuracy and can just about throw something heavy, but not very accurately. Because of her height and weight she's very agile and can duck blows because of her samurai training.

She was born into a middle-class family and would always stay in a middle-class. Her father has a job that manges to provide for Atlanta and her sister. This doesn't leave a lot for luxuries so Atlanta and Tiger have just had to carry on.

Her token is a silver hairpin with a pink cherry blossom flower that never withers or crumples and it's been passed down generations through generations via the woman of her family.
