Sage District 10 (Done)

Name: Sage Evenn (Nickname 'Elvie')
Age: 15
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 10
Appearance:

Sage has brown hair that is pretty short. It curves neatly toward her face, and her hair is a dark crimson that is bearly noticable in low light. When she is in sunlight though, her hair glows crimson, almost like fire. Sage's face is slender, with a darkness to it. She has dark grayish-green eyes and thick eyelashes. Her eyebrows are slender and make her look serious. Her ears are small, but have a natural disfigurement that make them look slightly pointed. This causes people to call her 'Elvie'.

Sage has a slender figure. She has a good amount of muscles in her arms and legs. She has horrible upper body strength but is very flexible and can run fairly fast. Sage's feet are very big though and she hates them. Sage trys to hide her feet with small shoes. Sage is pretty tan. She likes to be out in the sun a lot. From running a lot her feet are leathery but her hands are another story. She has very soft hands. (lol..)

Personality:

Sage is kind of a loner. She avoids large crowds of people and fears bullies because they often make fun of her ears and, ever since her first reaping try to convince her that she will be picked, or that she should volenteer. She often feels worthless but would never think of suicide because her family needs her to supply the tesserae. Sage looks kind of emo on the outside, but likes to stay cheerful and hide her pains. She acts like she is optomistic constantly, and always brings people up if they look down. Of course, this isn't really her outlook on life. Sage just uses this as a cover for both her family and few friends. The only time her cover goes down is when people make fun of her ears and other weird things about her. Her eyes tend to darken at these times and her eyebrows go into a serious looking position.

Sage takes things more serious than her peers. When she watches the games she feels sorry for every single death, and thinks thoughtfully about it because they had a life which had been taken from them in a stupid game. No matter how violent or cruel they had been it was just the games that had changed them. That subject was just one of the things she is paticularly thoughtful about. Sage is a bit rebellious, though no one would think it. Sometimes she even makes plans that might have the possibility of creating a rebelion, but the plans always need more than one person and she is too shy to ask anyone to join her. She doubts anyone would anyway. Sage has an adventurous side to her. Sometimes she wishes she could somehow get to the roofs of houses and walk across them, because she wonders what her bleak town looks like from up there. But she never does and probably never will.

Sage is very self-conscious. She is already made fun of her ears and doesn't want bullies to have more to make fun of. Thats probably why she doesn't ask anyone to 'explore' or hang out with her in fear they will decline. Most people ignore her anyway if they aren't laughing at her. Also, when paticularly scared Sage has the tendency to stutter (badly) when speaking. Often times she thinks of trying to kill herself the bullying is so bad. But she knows she has to wait.

Some good things about Sage is she believes in "karma". She believes the bullies and everyone bad will probably regret messing with her later. Sage has a good temper, she can control it well. Thats why she probably hasn't gone out on some of the jerks shes met. Sage also sees the beauty in life. When she sees a flower she stops beside it and observes it for awhile. She also loves her family and is very protective of them. Especially her little sister Adriana.

History:

Sage Evenn was born to a very poor woman and man. The woman and man were happy having a daughter, but times were rough. They tried everything to get money, but would never beg. They believed begging was under them. The father of Sage worked hard, while her mother knit clothes from salvaged strings for her. But there wasn't enough food and the woman thought they wouldn't make it so she left their alleyway home. The man came back with no food, and only found the baby. He sighed, and put a cloak on. At night he then dropped Sage at a middle-class house, on the doorsteps. She was wrapped in blankets (with a note that only read Sage) and starving. As the man left, tears forming on his cheek Sage too began to cry.

Sage was brought into the family, welcomed. She was never told of how she really got into the family, and thought she was just like everyone else. Yes, its true she didn't look like the others but her adopted mother always told her she had a great aunt of somekind that had Sage's hair too. As for the pointy ears no one knows. Sage was a troublesome child, always getting into mischief. The mischief soon stopped after her mom started spanking her with a spoon whenever she got in trouble. She still went and explored though, cautiously. When she was about 8 she went to the gates surrounding the city for the first time and tried to look and see what their was other than just the city. At age 10 she knew District 10 like the back of her hand. She had even found a "secret meadow". She only called it this because it was in an alleyway, and if you just pull back a few curtains a small grassy area surrounded by the back of stony buildings is there. Sage ussually goes here when shes upset, and sits on a rock. She pretends shes going on adventures. Like running through the forest that surrounds these socluded Districts.

When Sage was 12 she had her first reaping. She wasn't scared though. All the bullies had made fun of her enough and she knew she wouldn't be scared by the games anymore. She needed one less thing to be scared of.... So she picked the games. It is true, she wasn't called and she was relieved. Sage knew what she had to do. Though it mystified why her mother wanted Sage to take all the tessera and all her siblings take none she did it anyway. When Sage was going up to her 3rd reaping, she started to notice the man. He was young, maybe mid 30s, and had dark green eyes and brown hair. He had a dirty cloak on, and had been staring at her until she met his glance. When she tried to find him again after the reaping he was gone. Maybe just a considence, she thought. But then she saw him possibly following her in a alleyway, and another time at her 3rd reaping. She didnt tell anyone about him.
