[/color][/center][/justify][/font]Appearance
Trippin' out, spinnin' around
I'm underground, yeah I fell down
Alice is a slender girl with straight, platinum-blonde hair that cascades down her back in a slightly waving waterfall of silvery gold. Her eyes are alluring, and pale-blue in color. They are wide, and odd. Yet pull anyone in. Her pupils are normally dilated due to AIWS (Alice In Wonderland Syndrome), and her brows are almost always furrowed in confusion. Her face is sharp, and somewhat scary. Her lips are almost always in a flustered frown. Her ears are elfin, and her nose is perky. She is pretty; but her AIWS causes her to look stressed and confused.
I'm freakin' out, where am I now?
Alice has skin of a ghostly-ivory hue. She also has straight, white teeth. Her beauty is slightly over average; but as stated earlier; her stressed appearance takes her beauty down a bit. Aside from having dilated eyes and furrowed brows, she also has a slightly rabbit-shaped blotchy scar on her inner left-thigh from where her AIWS got the best of her. She obtained the scar from when she was training in the Fire-Building station. She thought the fire she was inspecting was far away... but one step forward and her leg went aflame. She jerked it away quickly; but not before the blotchy scar took shape.
Alice is tall, 5'9, and has a fragile build. She is of a bony structure, and has slender limbs. Most see her as the skinny girl with the flustered face and weird illness; but she's actually trained for the Games(Though she'd never want to take part in the Games. Unless she was desperate to be accepted and/or Reaped). She is of average skill in the descriptions of a Career, in all honesty. Her AIWS causes her to be slightly weak, and have bad aim; but she proves to be promising with dual daggers. Which are her best weapons.
She almost always wears stockings to hide her blotchy scar. And usually wears dull colors so her eyes aren't hurt by the brightness. She also holds an appearance of slight innocence. Her beauty is unique. Just as she is...
She also has delicate eyebrows that are arched slightly. Her eyes are narrow but wide(Creepy); and her lower lip is slightly dented from her habit of biting her lips. She also has slight-shadows under her eyes from where her night-terrors keep her awake. Her cheeks are also shallow, and her cheekbones are high. Not to mention that she has bony, and knotty fingers.
Her ribs also stick out a bit; adding to her slender appearance. Her straight hair also sometimes gets tangles; but she tries hard to keep it clean and tangle-free. She holds the air of a wild beauty. She doesn't mean to look so weird... But in all honesty, she is just that. Weird and unique.
And I can't stop it now, yeah it can't stop me now
Personality
I found, myself, in Wonderland... is this pretend?
Cascade, or Alice as she is more presumably called, is a confusing girl with a unique illness. Some people she her as a mistake; a Career with a disability. But others see her as unique. Which she is... Alice Poesy is one of VERY few girls in District 1(Or any District at that), to have AIWS(Alice In Wonderland Syndrome). This causes Alice to be slightly different from others.
I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
Alice has moments when she sees things as smaller, or larger, than they really are. This causes her to be slightly reclusive. At times everyone she sees looks incredibly tiny, and she fears that she'll step on them. This causes her to be jittery, and nervous. Then at other times, people appear far larger than they really are. This causes Alice to become afraid. Sometimes she feels like she's trapped in a wonderland. A wonderland of confusion...
When I fall and hit the ground, I will turn myself around
Alice is a naturally kind girl, who would honestly like to be friendly with people. But it's hard; due to her AIWS. Most people see her as reclusive and overly shy, maybe even snobbish. But Alice is actually very nice. Though she is a Career, of average skill, she refuses to want to take place in the Games. But could her feelings towards the Games change?. Besides, a girl who sees everything in a different way wouldn't stand a chance... right?
I'll take a stand until the end
Alice also has moments where she has minor seizures. Her AIWS gets the best of her and she feels as if everything starts spinning. As if falling down a rabbit hole. Her migraines are an 'on and off' kind of thing; and almost everyone she meets will get the chance to witness one of her moments. Poor, little Alice feels like a mistake... But she's wrong. She's unique.
However, scared of being judged/insecure or not, Alice has a deep bravery that burns within her. A girl who would never Volunteer, being clever enough to know that she would surely die, but brave enough to do other things. She will always accept challenges with a hesitant, yet forceful voice that shows she has a deep passion and urge to be loved by all. She'd never be perfect, or loved by all... but she would fight for something. Recognition, maybe. Or most likely, fight for the feeling of maybe being seen as normal someday.
History
Don't you try to stop me ...
I, I won't cry
Alice Poesy was born to Charlotte Ruby and Damien Onyx Poesy, on May 5. She was a darling little girl with locks of silvery blonde that swayed in the breeze, and sweet pale-blue eyes. But then, she was seen differently. Because when she turned 9, Alice's parents discovered something. Their daughter had something wrong with her... their daughter had AIWS.
It took the local doctor ages to figure it out. At first, they thought the little girl was going blind. But no, there was a better explanation for why everything the little girl saw was disproportionate. She had AIWS, a relatively uncommon illness that causes things to be appear smaller than they actually are, or larger... Alice's parents were distraught. They had given birth to a freak.
When Alice was 10 they dumped her off at a Community Home. They didn't want a messed up daughter who had no chances of being a Victor. Especially not a daughter who had admitted to never wanting to be in the Games. The other kids, who were there as orphans, looked at Alice as if she was a freak. Every night the little girl would have night terrors... Screaming things about falling down a rabbit hole into a nightmarish world of fear and horrific images. Some labeled her as mental... but little Alice was smart. When hanging on, and fighting off her migraines in the Community Home classes, Alice proved to understand and know a lot. But still, everyone still labeled her as a freak...
Years later, when she was 16, Alice left the Community Home and managed to nab a small shack on the outskirts of the District. Almost no one would go past the shack... Did they fear her? Were they embarrassed to be seen around her? Alice's insecurities spiraled from there.
However, she refused to give up. One day, she stormed into the training center, not allowing herself to be heckled by the other Career's laughter, and she picked up a pair of daggers and sliced an 'x-shape' on a dummy's neck. Then the head slid off... a clean cut. Everyone looked in awe... the girl who's eyes were whack, actually hit a good mark.
They decided to let her in, allowing her to train. Alice did it for the respect; not for The Games. She had no longing to take place in those games... none at all. She became an average level Career, but her AIWS still plagued her.
One day, in the Fire Building station, Alice was walking around, inspecting all the other fires and trying to learn more. She thought that one fire was a good distance away... But one step forward, and her leg went aflame. She jerked it away quickly; but the damage was done. A rabbit-shaped, blotchy-red scar stained her inner left-thigh.
From then on, Alice always wore stockings; no matter the season or weather. She didn't care if she looked like a freak; she looked better with stockings on than an ugly scar showing. Alice then turned 17; staying reclusive. Her fellow citizens became more lenient around her; but she still felt like a freak. She is now known as the girl with the flustered appearance...the girl trapped in her own wonderland.
