Ruphalia Hayes

I am Rue.
I am from District Eleven.
I am female.
I am fourteen.
Some people say I look a lot like Jozy Carlacci King.

My hair is unique, or at least unique from my family. Vibrant, bright red hair like the leaves falling down on the hills during Autumn. And it is a natural red, too. Something might have went wrong with the genes, because my parents were both blonde, including my big brother, Fallstreak, who is also of a beach blonde hair colour. My hair is naturally straight. Sometimes I put it in a braid and purposely fall asleep in it so by the next morning, it's curly. Usually on reapings I like to make it curly.

My eyes are something I inherited from my mother, so no genes didn't go wrong there. They are green like the grass, or the seaweed in District 4. Although, my Momma and I are the only ones in our family of Four to have green eyes. My Poppa and my brother have hazel eyes, and due to my difference from my family my brother always teases me and says I'm adopted. It's quite annoying, when ever I'm in the bathroom, looking at my appearance in the mirror and Fallstreak comes up and tells me I'm adopted. My eyes are shaped like almonds, like a lot of people I know. The eyebrows of Rue Hayes are thin naturally, I don't pluck them like a lot of other people would in the Capitol. They are pointed, a bit, making me look more serious then my actually personality lets me.

My nose is big, and that's something I'm not afraid to admit. It's a family trait, the Hayes' big noses. I like to think, a lot of people have small noses, so I guess I'm unique. It just makes myself more confident each morning. My head is oval shaped, my chin long and curvy. My forehead is a bit big, but I just by-pass is every-day. My upper lip is way too thin for my liking, and the bottom lip is too huge for the thin upper lip. I don't really like it. I have small ears, but big enough that I can actually hear unlike some people's who strain so small they can barely hear. Rue Hayes' voice is smooth, sing-songy, but high pitched. When I actually am serious, people think I'm sarcastic because of my high pitched voice making it sound like I don't take things seriously, and life is just all fun and games. But no, I don't want people to think that. I'm not all 'life is great' and rainbows and clouds.

I'm tall for my age, 5'9" towering over some girls in my grade. But some other girls tower over me with a whopping 6'0 inch height. 5'9" can help you with a lot of things, like running for gym class or just plain 'in a hurry' run. I'm fast at running, I like to think. Some people are way faster then me, but I guess I could qualify for a fast runner, but some people could beat me in a race easily. I like to think I have curves, but some people say I have yet to develop a body. I've never actually weighed myself, but the average for a 14 year old girl is 110 pounds, so I'll say I'm around 105-110 pounds. I can settle with the fact that I'm thin and I can't really change that fact.

Nearing fall time I'm usually wearing overalls, due to the fact it's harvest time and everyone is helping get the crops in and ready. But the overalls I wear are usually cut off at my thighs, so I'm not sweating to death in practically jeans. Winter in District 11 is really not a big deal, because the climate is really hot and it's just a bit cooler temperature then autumn time. I always wear shorts, and even the rare time when I'm not it usually is shorts that go down to my knees. Summer time it's bitter hot, so to cool down I wear a tank top and of course, my shorts. I'm rarely ever seen in provocative outfits, I'm not the one to do that. I find it completely pointless.

Come reaping time, I wear a dress that used to belong to my mother. It's all black, and goes down to about my thighs. All of it is black, except for a part in the middle where there is a bow that's pink. It's been my reaping outfit since I was twelve, considering I've had the same body when I was twelve as I have, now that I'm fourteen. The dress was a bit big on me when I was twelve, but now my chest area fills it in perfectly.
