Eve Verna Hojisaksmal

Eve has long, straight brown hair that reaches her waist, it's that long. It is very messy, but not tangled. More in a fuzzy, falling in the eyes all the time way. Although, most of the timeit is in tight braids that keep it restrained. Sometimes she'll take it down though, and the nhe rhair looks truly wavey. Her eyebrows are thin and short, while her eyelashes are thick and medium-length. Her nose is small and thin, the bridge a little up, but almost flat down. She has almond shaped eyes, colored in brown. They look like a toddler took a crayon and scribbled them in. Her mouth is small like her nose. The lips are pale- pink, and mildly thin. They are cracked from dryness. Usually, it is down in a frown. Her ears are small as well, and look a bit elfish. Her sisters joke about them often, as she is one of quadruplets, and isn't as similar to them as her older sisters. Her skin is light and freckle less.

Eve is short and scrawny, almost resembling a twig. Thus Silver's nickname for her, Twig. Silver is her classmate. She is 4'7" and weighs 69 pounds. She is in no way an identical quad, as far as she can tell. She has no breasts, rather she is flat chested. Her hands are boney, and a bit ugly in some people's opinions. She hides them behind her back most of the time, and tries to avoid letting people see. She isn't very strong either, and sometimes she thinks she has no muscles. But of course, if she had no muscle, she would be laying on the ground like jell-o.

Eve wears an old, tattered shirt that is a bit big on her. She grew out of her pants, and ended up with her mother's spare skirt, which is actually tied up in the back, so she doesn't trip on the edges or it falls off, but it's hidden under her shirt. She doesn't have any shoes, she goes barefoot. Her hair is usually worn down, except on Reaping day, when she ties it up. It makes a little poufy line down her back, which Thistle likes bobbing her hand on. On Reaping day, Eve cleans her shirt and puts her arms in front of as many torn parts as she can, and cleans her clothes and face. It's the best she can do, although her mom is thinking about finding her something better for her first Reaping.

Eve is a very fast runner, her stamina is a bit surprising for someone so small and weak looking. She is a good climber, but can't swim. She paddles around then gives up. She's useless at that. Being so small, she is excellent at hiding in nooks and crannies around the District.

Eve is a loner, and feels most comfortable by herself. Being extremely shy, she has trouble bringing herself to ask for help on something. She is very smart though, and does well in school. She prefers to sit in the back of the class, although she listens perfectly well to the teacher’s every word. The problem is, she won’t ask questions. If she has a question, it will bother her until she overhears the answer from someone. Not a very good method, eh? She doesn’t hope about many things, nor trust things will turn out alright. She’s curious, but hangs back to see outcomes. Eve is very tolerant, and takes everything that comes to her like a brave little girl.

Eve is extremely modest, and feels lost if she is given something to eat without doing something to earn it. You wouldn’t think from her quiet nature she has a loud thinking voice, although if you could read her thoughts you would close the book immediately and walk away. She is always thinking about her family, and how separate she is from them. She isn’t jealous of Valerie or anything, she just feels her dad is a little strange. He only likes her, not Eve’s mother or sister, or even Eve herself. Either way, she doesn’t have a good relationship with any of her kin.

Eve has a terrible facial tic of twitching her nose. She’ll notice it wiggle a bit, and rub it. When Eve feels nervous, she’ll bite her lip and start playing with her hair. She doesn’t like being nervous, and often tries to flee the scene as soon as she can. Now, despite being able to handle situations well, Eve often finds a need to apologize, even when an apology isn’t required. It most often happens around her parents and sisters, along with a quick ducking of the head and walking quickly to her hideout. Her hideout is a cardboard box just big enough for her to hunch over inside, sleep in, and feast upon the occasional bread in. Everything she owns is in that upside down box. When it rains she drags the box into the shade.

Eve is the youngest of quadruplets. Her mother’s name is Pheanie, her dad is called Mouk. Her sisters are Valerie, Mist, and Gigi (Who is actually named Gregoria). Her dad isn’t the nicest man in District 6, and forced Pheanie and the quads right out the front door. So from a week old Eve was homeless. Her mother loved her children though, and found a tight clump of trees to try to make a home. They were breastfed babies, of course. It was hard, and when Eve was six months old someone stole all the food her mother had stored up. It was a depressing time.

When Eve turned five, she started school. When her teacher told her to draw a picture of her family, and she only drew her mother and sisters, it was suspected her father as dead. That’s how it came to be everyone assumed her sisters and her were fatherless, as everyone thought they “knew” all about the Hojisakmal Quads. Actually, Valerie went to visit her father every now and then, and was eventually gone from the trees. Her mother was very sad to see her husband take Valerie and not his other children so kindly, and Gigi actually envied her. Gigi and Valerie were always very close though, so Eve was left as the third wheel on most occasions, while Mist spent all her time in secret places. Eve didn’t know it, but her dad was a thief and stole much money. So while Valerie bought Gigi lunch, Eve would sit at a table, hungry, unknowing how illegal the food they were eating was.

When Eve was seven, Valerie stopped giving her mother things. Gigi told Eve heir dad didn’t want Valerie helping Pheanie anymore. It saddened their mother, and she felt severely disrespected when Valerie stopped calling her mom, but rather “Phee.” So for the most part, Valerie only ever talked to Gigi. Not Eve, Mist, or her mother.

Once Eve turned nine, her mother started failing at her job of keeping herself and her remaining children alive and out of harm’s way. Eventually, she decided it would be best to get rid of one of the girls. Since Eve was the least social compared to Gigi and Mist, she made sure to let Eve know not to come back home after school anymore, but rather go off. In a way, she hoped Eve would die, but Eve didn’t. Rather, she barely got by, and went hungry most nights. Several times she almost died of hunger, but it seemed every time she was so close to death, her mother would gain a conscience and give her food. Despite those little bits of kindness she showed, Eve still had her terrible resentment for her. She didn’t know if she should trust someone who would abandon her.

When Eve was eleven, Valerie took a try at taking advantage of her. It wasn’t hard, and she played the triplet/sister card to get her to do a few small things for her. Eventually, Gigi caught on, then Mist, and soon enough Eve was running around doing things for them. That included their homework on some occasions, yet, Eve couldn’t go anywhere near her mother or father without getting yelled at or hurt. To her sisters it was a funny game, but to herself it was terrible. It didn’t help Gigi was always changing her personality in some way or another. Her largest fear at the moment is her first Reaping – what if she or, even worse, one of her sisters were Reaped? Would she have to volunteer?
