Saren Setrose, District 4

Saren is a young, beautiful girl. Her hair is long, slightly wavy a very dark brown. Her skin is pale and flawless except for a few scars on her arms and her eyes are very light blue. Her least favorite part of her is her eyebrows, because they're so long and bit thick. But her nose is small, which she likes, and it's even a bit pointy. She's petite, around 5'4'', and her body structure is thin, lean, but yet muscular. When you first look at her, she doesn't look very strong, but her legs and arms are much more muscular than they appear.

Another reason you can't tell she's in such good shape is the clothing she wears. Usually her clothes are loosely fitted and don't show off her tiny body at all. Her clothes are mostly conservative, but she occasionally wears something very attractive just to see people's reactions.

For the most part, she is a very beautiful girl. Her back is very long and her legs are a bit on the short side, and her feet are bigger than she'd like, but her face is pretty much perfect to those who pass by her, yet she's too humble to admit to that. Her hair is always well kept, brushed with no knots or wrinkles. It has a red tint in bright sunlight, and it goes down past her shoulders. Her eyelashes are long and compliment her pale blue eyes nicely.

KIND: Sare is a very friendly person. She's the type of girl who will go up to someone who looks sad or lonely and try to comfort them or start a conversation with them. She's outgoing and nice to everyone. She tries not to judge anyone by their looks, and always wants to get to know new people. Her smile and optimism is usually contagious, and she enjoys lightening people's spirits and getting people in a better mood.

LOYAL: There is no person who is more loyal than Saren. She trusts people a bit too easily, but there are always some secrets about her that no one knows about. Once you've gained her trust, which doesn't take very long, she'll stand by you till the end. She always stands up for what she believes in and will defend her friend until her last breath.

STUBBORN & SPONTANEOUS: Even though she's super sweet and caring, she can also be a bit stubborn. Sare doesn't plan to break the rules, but sometimes she ends up doing it anyway. She follows her heart and her own crazy ideas, even if it means sneaking out and breaking the rules. She won't hesitate to argue and defend her point, even if it means getting into more trouble. As soon as she comes up with an idea, she goes through with it without usually thinking of the consequences. It's not that she doesn't know anything bad will happen, she just usually doesn't want to slow down to consider what she's really pulling herself into. But deep down she usually knows that her ideas aren't exactly smart ones.

HARD-WORKING: Saren might spend a lot of time just hanging out, conversing and adventuring, but she knows when it's time to get to work. It doens't take her very long to get into her work mode and get serious. Once you get her calmed down and serious, she's got a fantastic work ethic and she won't stop till the job's done, even if it means working longer than usual.

ENERGETIC: Either when she's talking to strangers or just her friends and family, Saren is very excitable and fun-loving. It doesn't take much to get her excited about something and talking about it nonstop. She can actually be a bit of a blabbermouth at times, not realizing that she might be over reacting or getting too excited about nothing. So she humiliates herself sometimes, but it doesn't take long for her to get over it.

TRUSTWORTHY: Even though she can talk a lot sometimes, she really does know how to keep a secret. All you have to do is tell her to keep her mouth shut and she won't say a word about it for the rest of her life. You could tie her up and hold a knife to her throat and she won't break her promise to a true friend.

Saren was born in raised in District 4 and loves it there. She obviously learned to swim around the same time she learned to walk and found many friends easily. She has an older brother, who's 18 now, and he's extremely protective over her since her father died. Her dad died when she was 12 in a fishing accident. His boat crashed and he drowned because he was unconscious when he fell in. Her brother blames it on himself because he should have been on the boat with him, but he stayed home to watch over Saren while their mother went to the market.

Saren has a few scars herself from fishing accident. When she was first learning, she cut herself plenty of times on the tools and hooks that her father warned her not to touch. She'd even been bitten a few times by fish that were more than half the size of her as a kid. But her brother and father were always there to wrap up her bumps, bruises and scratches. Her father and brother taught her everything she knows about fishing and swimming and whatnot. It took all of the family a long time to get over his death. It took Saren almost a year before she could even swim again. Because of his death, she was afraid of deep water for a long time, although after a year or two she's gotten over it and now she goes to work with her brother in place of her dad.

Her mother is a medicine genius. Whenever anyone has a infected cut, or a headache, cough, dizziness, anything, her mother can probably come up with a solution, even if it's only temporary. Even though obviously Saren knows she will never be as good at medicine as her mom, she was often sent out to look for herbs and plants for her cures, so she's pretty good at spotting usable plants. Since her father died, money has been kind of hard, and her brother has been taking tessere ever since he was 15 for the family. So far their family has made it without ever being chosen at the reaping, and Saren hopes to keep it that way, for her brother and her mother's sake.
