Ailis Faye [D10]

Ailis Faye is a young, faire looking girl. She is very small, only 5'4 and she is very thin becasue she mostly refuses to eat. Her thin, straight red hair falls over her shoulders and over her eye brows in staright cut bangs.

Her body is quite frail. She almost has no fat and very, very little muscle. Her muscle is mainly in her legs from running, running from fear. Here eyes are a drak grey-blue making them quite mysterious, but at the same time sad looking. Her mouth is small like the rest of her and her lips area slightl rose color but always pursed in a frown. She rarely smiles.

she has scars, ugly scars on some parts of her body from her parents beating her because of her disability. This scared her not only physically, but mentally too.

Ailis is generally not very attentive. She is actually well independent and self-reliant. I mean, she had to be that way growing up. She is always in a blank, emotionaless expression, or a frown. She is very unable to communicate with people except through motions and gestures. It makes her life ten times more difficult than it should be for a fourteen year old.

Ailis grows up with adoptive parents and 5 other brothers and sisters. So she never really got attention, also becasue her siblings shunned her becasue of her dissability to speak or sing, or even make a noise. She resides in the farm heer adoptive parents own and likes to communicate with the various animals there. her favorite one being an Australian Shepard named Sheppy. She never calls him that though of course. Instead, Sheppy learned his name through a variation of small clicks. Sheppy can be counted as Ailis' only friend.

Ailis secretly dreams to find some one to love ehr and be with her forever. She longs for a real family and some one who does not care about her speaking dissability. She just wants someone to accept her. It would be a dream come true if she could achieve that.

When Ailis was born in District 10. Unfortunately she was born with a rare defect called Vocal paralysis which means that her vocal chords are paralyzed. Becasue of her paralasys, her parents thought she was worthless and beat her when she did not do something right. they called their own child a 'Dumb mute' which caused Ailis to have a from of depression. Ailis grew up silenced. Soon, the District found out about this and sent in Peacekeepers to take away her parents. They were bound and shot right in front of Ailis.The images in from that day still come up now and then even though she was very young. They just never left.

After that fateful day, Ailis was sent with adoptive parents. Jorge and Mary-Ann Faye who also had 4 other adopted children. For the forst two months or do, they couldn;t get enough of Ailis. They thought she was the most adorable child in the world dispite her muteness. Then, another baby came. Benny Faye. He was about the same age as Ailis. All the attention from Ailis was snatched back and focused on Benny. Benny never treated Ailis well. He grew up stronger and more brutal than her. he would play around with her and push her and hit her. Ailis could not complain though, she was signed to a life of abuse by her own brother. Her parents never noticed so never did anything. They just thought the brusises and cuts were from her being clumsy. and she was damned to that reputation for the rest of her life.

Ailis, then around 12 or so started to go out of the house and explore. she liked the farm a whole lot, especially Sheppy. She also rode the horses and rounded up the sheep. That was her only happiness though. Soon, her parents told her and Benny about the reaping. Ailis was terrified of being entered into the games. Every year since her first, she closed her eyes through the whole thing and will until she is eighteen, four more years. Ailis satrted to train abit in the back of the barnyard shed. She used pitchforks to practice and butcher knives to practice throwing. She still isn;t amazing, but she continues to train when she has the time or out of pure boredome.

Now at age fourteen, her life is still practically the same. Excpet she has starte to work in her family's barn. She takes the dead chickens and sheep skin to trade in the market along with her other sisters, who generally ahte her. she has a hard time with the sale men and woman and relys on her gestures and hand motions to help. Luckily, some of the employees have adapted to that. But still, Ailis will be forever silent.

omg, shes my favorite so far haha!
