Aisling Fitzwalters D2 FINISHED

Hair as red as fire, eyes as blue as the sky. Aisling Fitzwalters was the girl everyone was envoius of. Peaches and cream skin and rose petal cheeks, these were things her parents money couldn't buy, and even compared to her siblings she was special. She seemed to have floated down from the clouds themselves. Her face soft and kind, mimicing the personality that raidiated through. The hardened Fitzwalters rage seemed to have passed her by. Aisling was beautiful and gentle...but that was just her face.

After you tore your eyes away from hers you'd start to see the length of her body, gangly and long limbs, almost too thin to look healthy. Her brothers had taken to calling her "beanpole" or "twiggy". Like the trees in their yard, she towered over the other girls in her grade holding steady at 5'11 since she was 16. Her legs too long and spindly pushing her higher than she wanted, sometimes she felt though her head was quite literally in the clouds. Her hands were long and slender, with the nails most often shaped. Taking care of ones appearance was important to her mother, and Aisling took those words to heart.

Real beauty, though, comes from within. And you'd be hard fought to find something wrong with Aisling. Even with growing up in a house to filled to the brim with hate, she still found goodness in everything, and found this useless fued hard to tolerate. Her words are kind to the Johnson's even when they're spewing horrible thing at her. Her brother's call her a doormat, letting everyone take advantage of her generousity.

Aisling is most often found with her book in a nose, trying to keep out of the fighting that surrounds her. Only her little brother seems to be able to understand that, its not that she doesn't care. Its that she doesn't understand the violence and seeing it comes to blows makes her feel like she's failed the family. Why can't everyone just get along! The only one who understood her easy going nature was her youngest brother, who had started making eyes at one of the Johnsons.

Her distance from the others comes more from her social awkwardness that she just doesn't know how to explain to her siblings. Maybe its just the known fact where ever she goes Julie Johnson will make her look a fool. Either way she just wants to fall back into her hidden world in the tattered pages of the books in her pack or clutched in her hand. Her father has often had her in training for the games, but her airy ways were only a detriment to her training, earning her a large scar across her back. After that she focused the best she could, learning to be nimble and agile, but not strong in the least.

Her family past was well known in District two. Forty-five years ago, Delilah Woodbury was perhaps the most beautiful and captivating woman in all of District Two. Her long brown hair fell enchantingly along her voluptuous curves, providing an unbelievably ethereal outline to a nearly perfect body. Her blue eyes were so bright that it was said you could go blind looking at them, but that didn’t keep the boys of the district from staring. Born into wealth, and essentially, district royalty, Delilah Woodbury’s most appealing feature was that she was completely untouchable.

Suitors came from far and wide to obtain Delilah’s hand in marriage, but two men stood out amongst the rest. Rocky Johnson was a strong man; his life in the graphite mines made him hard-nosed and sturdy, but behind the tough exterior was a soft and loving heart. Working for Woodbury’s mining company, Rocky met Delilah at a company picnic, and for both of them, it was love at first sight. However, Delilah’s parents had other plans for the youngest Woodbury.

Austin Fitzwalters was one of the wealthiest men in District Two, his father worked closely beside Delilah’s as his VP of Operations. Austin had always had a particular interest in Delilah, as did so many others, but when the idea of an arranged marriage was brought forth to Warhol Woodbury, he took to it quickly. To Rocky and Delilah’s dismay, she quickly became publically engaged to Austin; doomed to a loveless marriage. In a night of passion, Rocky and Delilah consummated their love for one another, and as a result, a seed was planted in her that would start a feud for centuries. The marriage between Austin and Delilah never happened, and for a breathtakingly beautiful six months, Rocky and Delilah lived happily as parents to be.

However, disaster came rapidly, as the birth of one Bernard Johnson caused the untimely death of the beautiful Delilah Woodbury. After being promoted to his father’s position upon his retirement, Austin Fitzwalters fired the man who no longer had connections to the Woodbury name. Resentment built between the two families, and has grown ever since. As much as Aisling loves her grandfather, she has often delt with horrible torment from the Johnsons, and even from her own family for trying to stay of out this. Eventually though she feels that one day, hopefully, peace can come to both sides.
