|A Mirror Shattered By Darkness|
(Appearance)

Some say Purenessa is beautiful. Others say she is the ugliest thing they ever saw. Either way, she seems to radiate power and strength, two things that many people seem to lack. It's obvious she doesn't spend much time caring about how she looks, which makes her stand out in District One.

Her hair is jet black, and flows down her back in a tangled, snarly mess. It is often dirty or greasy, and in the front, it hides half her face behind a curtain of black. Occasionally, a black feather will dangle from a thin, poorly done braid. On these days, Purenessa tends to be in a bad mood, so people take the feather as a warning. On special occasions, instead of washing and combing her hair like most people, Purenessa simply yanks her hair back into a messy ponytail.

Her face is pale and long, with prominant cheekbones and a chin that makes her look constantly proud. However, her skin is smooth and blemish free, and her eyebrows curve in a way that seems to make her face a thing of dark, mysterious beauty.

Purenessa's eyes are large, with naturally thick, dark eyelashes to add to the effect. Her irises are as black as ink, so it is almost impossible to find the pupils hidden within them. This is an advantage to Purenessa, for black is the only color dark enough to hide emotion and still give a nasty glare.

Her lips rarely turn up in a smile. They are thin, yet the shape is elegant and suits her face well. However, their state of being consantly chapped does not, and the abuse makes them a dark red.

Her neck is thin and long, and her shoulders curve sharply down into her arms. They never slump though, as Purenessa sees this as a defeated like pose. If you look closely, you can see a small, twisting scar right on the curve between her neck and right shoulder. It is partially hidden by the string of the necklace she always wears, which has a black feather dangling at the bottom. No one can figure out why she always wears it, since Purenessa obviously is not the jewelry type. Those who ask about it only get a cold, cruel smile as she fingers it thoughtfullly.

Her arms are bony and scarred, with prominant elbows. Disliking this look, Purenessa does all she can to hide her arms. During the summer, though, it is impossible, so she just glares at anyone who so much as glances at them.

Purenessa's hands are elegant. For some odd reason, there are no scars on them, although a great deal of callouses rest on her palms. Her nails, although chipped, do not look as though she's been biting them. Her long fingers curve at such a graceful angle, you'd think she stole her hands from a queen.

The poor girl is stick figure thin, and she hates this appearance. In her eyes, being skinny is a sign of weakness. It seems to give off the impression that you are delicate, and Purenessa is anything but. However, no matter how much she eats, the look does not go away, and she deals with it by wearing looser clothing.

Her legs, unlike the upper half of her body, are strong and long. Ten times more scarred than her arms, they give off the impression of strength. She's a fast runner, and exercises them daily. Her feet are slightly too big, but it's hardly noticable compared to the rest of her.

Purenessa is tall. At least five feet, eleven inches tall [5'11"], she towers above many other citizens in the district. The fact that she's almost all skin and bones only adds to the effect.

All in all, although it's obvious Purenessa does not care about what she sees in the mirror, there is some beauty in her that is unavoidable.

|A Dangerous Labyrinth of Secrets and Lies|
(Personality)

Purenessa has a dark, dangerous mind. Confusion swirls around in it, and very few people realize how unstable confusion is. Hatrid fuels her actions. Hidden in the darkest corners of her brain, insanity threatens on a daily basis. There are parts of her head that even she herself fears, and avoids at all costs. The truth is, a nightmare is hidden behind those black eyes.

But that is all hidden. The uncertainty and the fear is buried deep inside. On her outermost shell, she is sarcastic and egotistical. Around other people, she does not attempt to hide disgust or annoyance at flaws.

If you dig a bit farther, you may find bravery in an odd type of form. She is definately brave enough to fight for others. She'll fly into a dangerous situation without hesitation. She never doubts her previous actions. However, she is also brave enough to leave others behind. She has enough courage to betray people who trusted her. Many would say this is cowardly. But facing arrows for another person is not always the form that fearlessness takes. It is hard to run, because you know in the future, it will be nearly impossible to live with yourself. So it is possible that running away takes a certain type of bravey that many of us lack.

Underneath her courage, she is sneaky and untrustworthy. Often enough, she will seem to only work for herself. She is, to a certain point, very selfish. It's true that she won't hesitate to sacrifice another person before herself. To her, others are just pieces in the game of life, and it's her job to move them and manipulate them in her favor. She avoids ties with others. It only makes the betrayel harder.

And finally, hidden deep, deep down is the fear and pain. A small seed was planted, and it grew into something bigger than anyone imagined. At night, sometimes Purenessa will just lay down and cry. Those are the nights when it becomes obvious. After all, someone can't commit the crimes Purenessa does and feel absolutely nothing. It's just not possible. And so, when no one's around, she'll just spill it all out, and by morning, is back to normal.

Purenessa does have some good traits, though.
