Age: 16
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 2
Appearance:
OutfitPersonality:
Considered beautiful in the eyes of some, Adrienne stands at the height of five foot six, and weights in at approximately one hundred and eighteen pounds. Being very light, and nimble. With a petite frame. Her perfectly aligned hair flows down her head, stopping below her shoulder blades, waving in long locks of brown. It is usually washed thoroughly, when possible, and has a few streaks of light brown due to the hot weather in her district. It sits perfectly along the side of her face, mirroring on each side, revealing her deep brown eyes, and thin eyebrows. Below sits her commonly shaped nose, and tight, deep pink lips. Behind them sit a perfectly aligned set of pearly white teeth.
Moving down from her head, her neck sits nicely sized and at a common height, sloping into her small shoulders that move onto her equally skinny arms. Her tanned skin, smooth down her arms reach to a pair of small hands on each side. Her waist is thin, and leads upwards to her thin torso, only gaining width at her breasts, that sit at a small size, rounded and not as pronounced as some. Moving down from her waist, her long tanned legs are perfectly aligned and lead down to about size six feet.
Adrienne usually dresses in a pink button up shirt, which is one of the best things she has in her wardrobe, which isn't huge, she belongs to one of the least wealthy families in District 2. She frequently dresses down in white hotpant style shorts. That are torn slightly in places, and made of a rarity, denim. She had to trade a lot for it, and it is one of her favorite clothing items. She sometimes dons a pair of red sunglasses, to protect her eyes from sunlight, and also wears brown boots, that are heeled at about an inch. For formal, she dresses in a blue dress with a skirt that flares out at about 15 cm above the knee. With deep blue high heels, mainly for the reaping, weddings, parties, or general occasions.
Adrienne has a kind heart, and a generally optimistic take on everything that's thrown at her. She tries her best to be friendly to everyone, and appeal to anyone she meets. Her happy, go lucky-like attitude is what defines her the most, and barely anything can break her stride. A competent speaker, she is not hesitant to speak her mind, and is one of the "leaders of the pack" types. But has a irritating side when she gets too happy. With a tendency to flirt with members of the opposite sex, some of the girls in her district have called her a "ditz" and a "get around" due to not being a career.History:
Even though she is not a career, Adrienne is still a consistent fighter, and frequently practices using a knife in training rooms. She is extremely athletic and acrobatic, and gymnastic in ways. This makes her cocky at times, sometimes being a flaw. Her odd streaks of cockiness have led to a punched nose and other injuries. She has learned now to steer clear of most female careers, as they have a tendency to be wanting the "alpha-female" status. Her view on fighting is "only when it has to be done", but she does train as a hobby, and the fact that she is not hesitant to volunteer for the games, as it has been the direction her parents have tried to steer her in. She has a negative view on narcissists and vain careers, who believe they are better than others, and hates elitism. Although not a believer in equality, she tends to root for the underdog.
Adrienne is completely sane, and has no mental conditions other than streaks of forgetfulness and struggles with paredolia, constantly making out faces in objects, such as trees, and clouds. Having not struggled with anything traumatizing in her life, Adrienne has no worries, and does not have any reason to treat anyone differently. Her view on the games is the same as any in her district, "I'll volunteer when the time comes, or get reaped. Either way I'll end up there, or I'll be REALLY lucky." Viewing the games as mandatory has helped her get over how daunting it is to get reaped, and she has embraced the fact that it could happen, and lives her life normally. She is considered a bit of a show maker, and could find the games as a way to take the spotlight.
Born to a normal family, her father a market businessman, and her mother a fashion worker, turning raw materials into fashion materials in the capitol. Adrienne's birth was a difficult one, having her birthed by c-section. A normal childhood followed, and she loosely followed the career tribute path, straight away displaying skills as a warrior. But she shrugged those aside for a more friendly lifestyle. By the time she was eight, she'd already been working, moving her father's light produce between each stall he owned. Although not the richest of families, and still requiring tessera to get that extra money, Adrienne's family, the Islingtons, had a very ordinary, and care free life, her parents never fought, and treasured their child, even though she was not a career child.
By the time she had turned twelve, Adrienne proved to be a capable hunter, spending a lot of her time making traps and hunting in the woods with her custom-made, engraved combat knife. She keeps tucked into a holster at the back of her hotpants. Her dress-style was made possible by her mother sneaking clothing products from the factory she worked at. Being a capable fighter, she made money by skinning the animals she managed to kill, and selling the skins to the factory, so they can be tanned into leather.
Adrienne is now sixteen, and is still living her ordinary life, spending most days in the woods, but enjoying bartering at the market. She likes going near the other districts in the woods, so she can meet new people, but rarely gets to meet them. She possesses no romantic interest, and has never had a partner of sorts, she has never deemed it important, or met the right guys. Her parents are still getting by, and she is awaiting her future to unfold. Working at the market, including sorting stock, and checking up on her father's stalls. But she mainly runs errands for people. Being a fast runner, climber, and tracker, which she also applies when hunting the woods.
