some days / bystanders plot, district eleven

Hello, my name is: Cassandra
My character's name is: Arletta Elywn

My ideas are: Arletta is a determined girl, she is impatient and easily annoyed. She is a girl who constantly tries to drown herself, day in day out is spent within the folds of her pond -her life source. She wants to be able to breathe water she wants to pass the edge of death, and she is a girl that is willing to do anything to try it. People find her weird, strange and odd, everyone in town tries to steer clear away from her, afraid. A lot of the time people will whisper, rumors will spread and whenever anyone sees Arletta they often think she is dead, a walking spirit of the dead.

Besides, she comes from a family stained with darkness. She grew up in a family that fled the town, that cringed from the very idea of having to socialize with anyone. Arletta was there on that day she heard the girl die. Often she will venture out seeking a new place to attempt her art. She will search everywhere, usually daily for a new watering hole, hoping that she will find the one -the one special enough to claim her.

Arletta is a girl obsessed with the need to breathe underwater and she will do anything for a few precious moments of breathing in her pond. Some believe that she has even tried to kill others, intending to see if she is the only one who can't. She has never denied the claims, so fingers would point at her.

I think Emily Spinner was killed because: Revenge, greed? Made a deal with the devil? Wrong place wrong time?

I'd also like to say: I would love this because it would be great to see Arletta struggle with the rumors that have hung behind her as they finally catch up with her.
