Elisabeth Lyn Red D8

Red is 5'7" with long brown hair that runs down her back. When the sunlight hits her hair, it looks lighter, casting off a redish tint. She is surprisingly pale compared to the others in her district, often varying between an unhealthy paylor color, or a beautiful creamy white tone. Her eyes a cross between gray and blue, leaning more to gray than anything. Around her pupil, she has little golden rings. Her eyes all together, look like an eclipse in a rainy sky, sunlight streaking past the dark orbs of her pupils.

She is considered tall on some levels, but she is generally average height. She has a thin frame, but houses muscles under her appearingly frail, white skin. Her body has various scars and prominent scar from her left shoulder, curving down to the bottom of the right side of her rib cage. Her back is lined with scars from whippings. She usually has faint purple coloring under her eyes from fatigue, but it's also due to being so pale. Her face is usually void of emotion, giving her a brooding look.

Red is strong-willed and heavily determined. She tries her hardest to complete whatever she's started. She is not easily swayed from her thoughts, but she is open minded to what other have to say. She can take on a leadership role when it's needed.

She can be a girl of few words unless she is comfortable with the people around her. Or unless she's angry. Her trust is hard earned and she keeps herself closed in. She is usually in a state of constant alertness, but since she doesn't have many people around often that she trust, she tends to keep in her thoughts. She's found herself speaking to herself out loud on occasion.
She has a slight temper and becomes angry when other's are not treated properly. She speculates herself to be killed one day over this.

She has a fear of being buried alive and that leads her to find no interest at all in pursuing of the rumors of District 13. Pain is not normally a bother to her, but everyone has their breaking points. She's been stabbed in fights and smacked with heavy tree limbs with little more than a wince. She is strong and controls her emotions. She is quick-thinking and resourceful. If she can't conquer something with her strength, she tackles it with her mind.

Elisabeth Lyn Red was born to a dirt-poor couple who had no luck with having children. Her mother was thought to be infertile until Elisabeth was born. She was harrassed by some of the older boys through out her childhood, which made her drop her girly first name and stick to her last name.

As the years went by, her mother became ill and died at the age of 38. Her father, weak with depression, managed to succumb into the grip of starvation, refusing to eat. He died a year later after her mother. With no siblings, she relied on no one but herself, out of fear of being disappointed. She had no other siblings. This gave her an extraordinary work ethic and determination to stay alive. She is independent to the point of isolation.

Now, at the young age of 16, she has no love life and works for a living. She is very familiar with chemicals, since her job is creating and distributing pestacides for District 8 crops. In her spare time, she attends school, climbs trees, reads, and conditions her muscles, fighting with boys and usually winning. She absolutely loves to ride horses, but, of course, she has to "borrow" one in order to do that. If she learned anything from her parents, it is to be resourceful and use her surroundings to survive. She can create a weapon out of just about everything. But, she normally stays out of fights. However, about a year ago, she did get into a fight with a PeaceKeeper whom was picking on one of the younger workers. The child wouldn't stop vomitting after having a test done on him to ensure the pestacide wasn't deadly. She swung at him, tossing him to the ground, and beating him into unconsciousness. This resulted into a heavy whipping. She has the scars to prove it. She tries to hide them, even though everyone who was around to watch her get whipped already knows about it.

I'm kind of new at this and wasn't sure what person to write the bio in. I just stuck with 3rd person. Sorry for any inconvience I may have cause. Also, I have a reading disorder which may have resulted in me missing some letters in the codeword. I apologize.
