District/Area: District 12
Appearance:
Cobie is about average for a female her age. She's not tall, but not short either. She sits firmly in the middle at the height of 5'5. To fit with her living in District 12, Cobie is also very skinny and unhealthy-looking.Personality:
Despite working around the Seam and trying to make a living for her family in the district, her skin is pale and sickly-looking from lack of food. She gets a lot of sun, but the unhealthiness of not eating leaves her skin which already clings to her scrawny body light.
Unlike most Seam residents with dark hair, olive skin, and gray eyes, Cobie has a rather different appearance. Not only is she pale -as I said before- but she is also blonde. Her blonde hair falls in curly locks down a third of her back. It's usually well-kempt but often goes tangled if she 's stressed. Her eyes are a murky blue/green color, and don't quite match the gray eyes of most Seam members. They are still very beautiful though, and many find them a mystery.
Sometimes it is rather hard to define Cobie's personality. She's not bipolar though, that can be assured, but its definitely picking out her attitude from her personality that defines her.History:
Her attitude depends on you. If you don't make her angry or get on her bad side, she usually is pretty open to you, but if you cause her trouble, it's likely that she won't be very friendly when you come around.
Her personality, though, is very different. Cobie keeps most of her thoughts in her head. She rarely ever speaks out the rebellion that churns within her, for fear of someone hearing. She doesn't agree with anything the Capitol does though, and she definitely is not thrilled about the Hunger Games. Usually, Cobie is very kind and caring towards others, but there are times where she can get stressed out and snap at anyone in her way. She's often uptight and worried about loosing something close, which causes her to sometimes get into bad moods, but she tries to keep it down as best she can. She's also very candid about things, and lets things build up in side of her, from the darkest secrets, to the littlest bit of information.
Cobie was born to a family of three - her mother, father, and older brother who was four years older than she.Codeword: odair
Her mother was a delicate Seam woman who used to work in the mines until she gave into the life of being a mother, but her father, on the other hand, used to be the son of a merchant. But his father was arrested and his family soon became poor and he was forced to move with his family into the Seam. Her parents met, married, and had their first son. Next, came Cobie, and six years later, another daughter.
Cobie ended up caring for the family at a young age. Her mother died in a mining accident shortly after her younger sister was born, and then her brother was killed during a rebellion. What was left was her father who had become a drunk in his own self-pity and a helpless young sister still too young to realize that their family was falling into pieces.
At only the age of ten, Cobie was forced to work hard to keep her family alive. She often hunted in the forests illegally, visited the Hob to trade whatever she could, and often made runs around the richer parts of District 12 to get a little extra change or food on the table for her family.
Usually, whatever she brought home as far as cash was concerned was stolen by her father who took it to get drunk. Cobie ended up having to hide her stashes of money to keep it away from her father.
Now, six years later, her father has moved out of their house, old and fat from drinking, into a house with another woman who Cobie hears he is abusive to. She could no longer care, as long as he was alive. She only has to take care of her sister now, and it's not so hard to hunt now, but they can barely make it through with a sixteen-year-old providing everything. Cobie often still wonders about what her sister would do if she was reaped. Probably starve, so everyday she tries her best to store up anything she can incase that horrible day comes.
