Starr District 12

Starr has ash-black hair that is slightly wavy and rolls down to her mid-back. She has thin eye brows and thick eye-lashes. Her eyes are blue, and seem icey cold when shes mad, and as blue and cheerful as the sky when shes happy. Starr has a nice smile and her lips are pale pink. When she blushes she gets especially red because of her paleish skin. Her skin is only slightly less paler than the moon, though her skin is covered in thin layer of black dirt most of the time. She has a funny looking nose that she hates. She has a normal sized neck that she likes to wear necklaces on.
Starr is short for her age, being 4 '11. Her body is slender and very thin, most of the year, with her rib-cage showing. Her legs are muscular and look like they have been through a lot from the scars and bruises all over them. Her ankles are misfigured from a birth defect, and makes her ankles start to hurt after running a lot. Her finger nails and toe nails are always dirt caked and digusting, no matter how much she washes. When she was young, something happend and she can't/hasn't spoke since then. She communicates through sign-laungage and writing on her arm with a thin piece of coal or maybe if she's lucky enough to find some, chalk. The only mark that shows evidence of this disability is a pernament scar on her neck.

Starr isn't shy, but isn't outgoing. She has a couple friends and is ussually the third wheel. She likes to follow people around but sometimes wishes she could make desicoins. Because of her speaking disability, she can't really talk. She trys to communicate and talk like everyone else but it takes too long to write things and most of the time people don't want to take the time for her to respond and just keep talking, so after a few months of this she stopped and just wrote on her arm when she needed to. Starr is a very good listener, since she can't speak. She observes the world since she can't talk to it, or anything. She is very thoughtful and takes most things very seriously.
Starr is very self conscious about her appearance. She knows she can't fix her speaking, but she trys hard to fix her appearance. She bathes as often as she can, and trys to wear clothing with some color in it. Starr is adventurous, and reckless. She loves to go exploring on the forest by climbing under the electric fence. She also explores the city alleyways, and is sometimes reckless trying to find treasures to bring home to her family, like some perfectly good bread that dropped out of some rich mans purse as he walked home, or a vase that had been thrown out because of a chip in it. Starr thinks of this as a secret life, and spends most of it alone. The only time she is with her friends is at school, and she almost never hangs out at home. She likes to be succluded.
Starr is sometimes too adventurous, and reckless. Two peacekeepers almost caught her once. She is also diligent though, and extremely determined. She still climbs under the fence and explores to her content. She likes the most climbing up an abandoned building she found and sitting on the roof, observing the city people and such. She isn't very sneaky, and gets into trouble a lot.

Starr was born into a poor family, like most of the families in District 12. She has 3 older siblings, all of them boys. Her mother died because of her birth, and her father got mad. When Starr was 3 and asked about mothers her father grew very angry and accidently hurt her. Her brothers heard the commotion from upstairs in their house, and pulled him off her. When they finally pulled him off her face was bloody and bruises would soon cover her whole neck. After that she never spoke. All the men of the house never spoke of that night again, though all of them knew her father felt horrible about it. He was sweet to Starr after that, and treated her gently. He wasn't home a lot though, because he worked in the coal mines.
When she started kindergarten all her friends didn't mind her disability and liked playing charades with her. But after that things went downhill, and she stopped trying to be outgoing. She started roaming the streets alone at age 7, because by then all her brothers were either married or working in the mines. She explored everything, and when she was 9 finally discovered the hole in the fence. This was her getaway from the hardships of District 12. She found a pond, and loved swiming in it, after she taught herself to. That's also when she started getting into trouble.
Starr was 11 when she first got captured by the peacekeepers. Because she was so young, she was just sent home with a warning. Her father was enraged and spanked her. But this only made her more careful not to get caught. She tried to be aware of her surroundings at all times and cautious. At her first reaping, she was nervous but the her brother assured her she wouldn't be called. She wasn't called, and he told her the same thing at her 2nd reaping. She wasnt called their either. She was thankful, but felt sorry for the two people called. One of them she had known. Now she tries to teach herself to use a weapon, because avoiding the peacekeepers has been becoming more and more difficult. Her friends know nothing of this... dangerous side of her.
