Kyla Wispende-District 12

Kyla is slightly shorter-than-average (5'2") and has very fine features. She has pale skin and is very skinny with blond hair that is straight with slight curls at its ends. Her hair is rather long, reaching past her shoulders, and so she always keeps it up in a ponytail. Her eyes are green, but her right eye has an odd sliver of blue in it. She could be considered attractive by some, but doesn't see herself as attractive at all. She tends to wear plain outfits of pants and a t-shirt, and dislikes wearing anything too flashy.

What Kyla lacks in stature, she makes up for in wits. She's smart and is good at figuring out ways to get what she needs. She's also very fast, and sometimes this leads to impatience on her part. She has a good heart, but it's normally veiled by the fact that she is sly and conniving. Due to problems in her early life, she was left to fend for herself on the streets, and is thus rather distrusting of other people because they haven't treated her the kindest. She had a good friend once, named Cyrus, but one day he disappeared and she hasn't seen or heard anything from him since then. Due to that misfortune, she has been very cautious about giving her trust to anyone because she is afraid that they will be taken from her as well. She is very sarcastic and critical most of the time, but she's also very daring and courageous. If you can gain her trust, she's a very loyal and dedicated friend, as well as trustworthy. She makes choices that she believes will benefit her in the end and has a tendency to be rather harsh, although she doesn't intend to do so. She's extremely empathetic, but tries to hide it whenever she can, although she normally doesn't manage that too well. Despite of everything else about her, she's very cautious with decisions. Sometime her taste for adventure gets the better of her, but normally she will think things through thoroughly before putting them into action.

When Kyla was young, her parents died in a mining incident. When they were killed, she and her brother were left to fend for themselves because they had no other relatives who could take care of them. They began to live off the streets, and Kyla did anything and everything that she possibly could for her little brother in order to keep him alive. So a few years passed in this manner, and when she was 9 and her brother was 4 she met Cyrus. He was only a year older than her, and they became fast friends. He helped her to care for her brother and taught her how to hunt with the knife and the bow and arrow. Things seemed to be going well. Then however, things took a turn for the worse. When she was 14, Cyrus disappeared and her brother grew very sick, eventually dying from lack of proper care. Kyla was heart-broken. She had lost everything as life had taken it's toll on her in one foul swoop. Since that day she's been barely keeping herself alive through stealing and illegal hunting, in hopes that perhaps someday things will get better, although she's not very optimistic about that.
