Scarlemma Larkonas | District Six

Name: Scarlemma Ann Larkonas, nicknamed Scar
Age: 14
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 6
Appearance:

Scarlemma is a short (5'1) slender girl weighing in at ninety five pounds. She has an hourglass shape and an oval-shaped head. Her broad nose is delicately sprinkled with golden-brown freckles. Her tangled copper locks reach down to her chin, and her cheeks are chubby and full of life. Her legs are long and bony, and her feet are narrow and flat.

Scarlemma's almond-shaped eyes are a pale shade of blue-green, and her eyelashes are very short. The tips of her ears are slightly pointed and she has a small gap between her bottom front teeth. Olive skin covers Scar's thin frame, and there is a birthmark on her wrist.

Personality:

Scarlemma is rebellious and daring, and no district boundaries will hold her back. She does know the consequences of her actions and tries to avoid trouble, but fails. Hot-headed and headstrong, Scarlemma believes that trust has to be earned, and is only optimistic about certain things. She is very sneaky and often tries to take medicine from the college to help her ill mother recover.

Scar is very imaginative and enjoys telling stories to her sisters Emerald and Stefania. She is always running around and participating in physical activities. Despite this, she has no knowledge of how to handle a weapon or how to swim. She also likes warm weather, nature, breaking rules, rainy days, and caring for her sisters. Scarlemma dislikes the Capitol and other districts. Her number one fears are death and illness, and she is also vulnerable to any attacks due to her lack of fighting ability.

The traits that show the most are her courage, adamancy, and perseverance. She does her best to hide her fears and arrogance. While her iron will is strong, Scar is capable of sitting down to relax for the remainder of the day. Overall, Scarlemma is brave and is willing to risk her life for her family even though she could possibly lose the battle. Her motto is " When a man hath no freedom to fight for at home, let him combat for that of his neighbors," as said by George Gordon Noel Byron.

History:

Family: 
Both of Scarlemma's parents are alive, but her mother is in poor health. Scar was considered a disgrace by her parents since her birth. Scarlemma is the first born child of a large family (more than five children) who look at her as their protector and provider. Scarlemma believes her family is reviled and hated.

Childhood:
Scarlemma was born in the dead of winter in a rundown house at the edge of District 6. The house had no stove to warm her up, and she nearly didn't survive the first night. Once Scarlemma survived a month in the cold and frost, her mother took her to a bigger house in the heart of the district. She grew up in this new house and was homeschooled from age four to age six. Her mother told her that she was weak and nobody would care for her. Mother said for her not to trust anyone. 

Adolesence: 
As Scarlemma grew older, she learned only certain people could be trusted. She had faith in her sisters and even in her cruel parents. Scar learned how to heal and to cook food over the course of five years.

Her first year in the Reaping was frightening. Scar had extra slips in the bowl because she asked for tessara. She wasn't chosen for the fifty-ninth Hunger Games, but everyone in District six was a friend no matter what, and no one wanted to see friends rush off to their doom. Surviving to the sixty-first Games, Scarlemma became more rebellious and determined than ever before. Her mother fell ill and Scarlemma and her sisters started searching for a cure. The illness passed on to their baby brother, and he died as soon as winter came again. Scarlemma was not upset however; she continued to plan surprises for the rest of the District. Something that would knock them off their feet and change the world.
