Rose Alcoat - D11

Name: Rose Alcoat (Rose)
Age: 15
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 11
Appearance:

When you first see Rose, you notice she has a limp. She seems to stagger on her left leg a bit. Another thing that hits you, she doesn't belong here, for she looks like she belongs to the Seam in District 12. Her hair, long and falls at about her ribs in straightish waves. It has collected a dark brown color over the years, and in winter, it looks almost black, in the summer, a lighter brown. Fall and spring, its dark brown. Her eyes also remind some of the Seam people of District 12. They have a grayish color to them, with a hint of green.

Rose's face, starting at the top of her head, falls straight down to about her lips, than it points in gradually to connect it all. This brings out her jaw line and high cheek bones. Her eyebrows lay a bit above her eyes and are slightly arched upwards. Her nose however, is slopped downwards, but it manages to point up slightly at the tip. Her lips, from where her name comes from, take on a natural pale red rose color to them. They also point up slightly and are not to thick nor thin.

Rose weighs around 100-115 pounds, this seems like a lot for someone who lives in District 11, but really, 90% is muscle. She, like most of her district, is starving. If you see Rose, she will probably be wearing her favorite long brown jacket. Rose's body has a lot of muscle and curves for her age, she appears to be around 17 or 18. Rose stands at around 5 feet 6 inches, she has a little longer than average legs, which can help make up a bit for her limp. Rose's skin tone is a sort of olive color, tan, yet an eerie gray color to it.

[/blockquote]Personality:

At first, Rose seems nice and happy enough, but when you get to know her, you know different. Her eyes only show pain, distrust, anger, and sadness. Her main goal in life is to keep her remaining family alive until they can take care of themselves, that includes her two little brothers, who are 11 and 10, and her deadbeat father, who she doubts will ever be able to take care of himself.

The main two fears Rose has would be heights, which is extremely inconvenient, and The Hunger Games. Just thinking about it sends shivers crawling up her spine and what ever food she had they day, if she had any food, to reappear. She doesn't fear death itself, but death in front of all of Panem, it feels a bit, pressured. What she enjoys, well, food wise, she loves star- fruit. Theres just something about it's crunch, yet sweet flavor. Fun wise, she enjoys singing, and spending time with her brothers.

If you see Rose, she will probably not be around any friends, I guess not going to school since she was 7 can do that. She also doesn't have a boyfriend, she hasn't really found a purpose for one yet. Some things that She is good at and might just give her a boost in The Hunger Games. Shes real good with knives, throwing, or wielding. She also has her strength, but not much speed. A really nice thing is that she knows all about plants, their purpose, their taste, everything.

[/blockquote]History:

When Rose was 7, her whole life collapsed. Her mother left her family, 4 kids, and a husband, for a rich man who hated Rose. So, her mother left, the only thing she remembers of her mother was looking into her eyes, and seeing her own, her's shown hate, and more hate. Her father went insane after that and in about a week, he wanted out of it all. It climbed the highest tree he could find, and jumped. Unfortunately, us Alcoats, don't get life off easily. He feel on an ax, and ultimately, lost his right arm. 8 years have passed and he hasn't been there for us once, I've been the main supporter in our family.

Her father's story is painful, and she can relate. The same week her father tried to commit suicide, she got a job in the orchards. Her first day, because of her weight and smaller size, she was assigned a high tree. It was a particularly hot day and she hadn't ate for awhile and her world was spinning. Her fear of heights wasn't helping much either. So, she feel, and feel, and feel some more. Until, boom, she landed on her left knee and damaged it. She could get it fixed, if she lived in the capitol and had the money for it. Ever since then, she was slower, and had a limp.

All those sad events in her life could never prepare her for what came next. It was a winter day, rather cold, and she couldn't find her sister. She began worrying and decided to search for her. She traveled into the snow and called her name, after an hour it seemed like, no luck. She felt on the verge of tears, when she heard it. Her sister's cry. She ran to the source and what she saw, scared her for life. She rushed to the bloody heap and held her sister. She looked around wildly looking for an explanation, a why? She found it, and it all made her cry. Her sister somehow found a hole in the fence of District 11. A hole! Anyways, she'd probably wanted to help the family out, and decided to go gather some plants or what not, but once again, us Alcoats don't get off easy. She was shocked, and it flung her back, but not before snagging her back and ripping the skin from her back. Rose sat there holding her and crying, until she died. The hardest task of her life, was burying her little sister.
