Bella DeLara, District 11

Bella DeLara... The name sounds French. If you expect a beautiful, girly girl, prepare yourself for dissapointment. Bella is about as tomboy as you can get. She labors hard, always in the sun, so she is broad shouldered and very tan. She used to have brilliant, sun-kissed blonde hair, but it now looks almost brown. She has calloused, worn hands. She is skinny, but most of this is made of muscle. Her eyes, however tired she may be, always shine like emeralds. The green of them, especially against her dirty face, often takes people by surprise. She is medium in build, not short, not stocky, but somewhere in the middle of both. She has numerous scars along her wrists, a result of mistakes in practicing with her knife, a long dagger like craft that sits endlessly in a back pocket. Suprising image for someone whose name means "beautiful."

Bella is bold and outgoing. The real secret is that this image is only that. A mask, covering her insecurities. The only person who knows the real Bella is her mom. She speaks out against most things, pardoning the Capitol, and stays way from others. She is mistrustful. She really is lonely and would like to work with people, friends by her side, but she doesn't for fear that her "friends" will betray her. She is gentle, but not loving, with kids and babies. She treis to be resigned and bored even, with satisfying results.

Bella's dad died when she was 2, so Bella doesn't remember much about him. Although the main job at the disrict was agriculture, they had no money to but land to plant crops. Instead of that, and with no man in the house to support them, her mother jumped on the wagon and got a job at the baker's. It didn't pay much, and Bella was the main source of income. To the DeLara family, the broken thing that it was, "income" was a peice of food to hold them over, to keep them alive. Bella brought food home and sometimes some money... but only enough to keep a roof over their heads... not matter how small or sorry the place was. She never went to school after her mother had proclaimed herself pregnant again... but to who? The baby died in birth anyways, so Bella didn't worry over it. After all, she has more important things to worry about. Especially with the idea of Reapings, accumulating names, and Bella's growing age...

I really don't mind if she is chosen for the next reaping as a tribute. Just so you know.

Oh, I also need her to have a mother, but I won't go into detail on poor old mom, and it will always be from Bella's point of veiw, so can I play her anyways? The mom, I mean...
