Arkady Green district 12 DONE

Hello my name is Arkady Green but everyone calls me Ark. I'm 4 ft 8 inches and still store some baby fat on my stomach. My skin is pale white and has the occasional birthmark and freckle. I'm only twelve and overly protected by my family so I hardly have any scars.

My hair is curly and dark brown and thanks to my sisters it's hardly ever tangled. Being that I'm from district 12 my dental hygiene isn't the best. I have yellow crooked teeth and my gums are swollen from finger nail fragments that have lodged between my teeth as a result of a finger nail biting habit.

My sisters choose what I wear so I'm usually in a button up shirts and pants. My shirt or pants are usually stained with food or grass. They love the way I look in hats so they usually force one on me. I hate hats though so when they’re not looking I stuff my hat into my back pocket.

Well I'd like to say that I'm a happy kid despite being from district 12. Luckily I'm not from the seam so times aren't so hard. My four older sisters and parents have tried to guard me the best they can from the cruelty that is Panem. Because of them I have a chance at a somewhat normal childhood. I get to play and I get to dream even though dreaming won’t get me anywhere. Deep inside I know having these hopes and dreams are a waste of time. I’m never getting out of district 12 alive. ‘The only dream and hope I should have is to not get reaped. That’s the only dream that makes any sense in district 12. But I’m an optimist and I convince myself that there is hope in this world. That somewhere away from the capitol I can live without fear,

Had this been another place my optimism and cheery attitude would be welcome but here I'm so out of place. Everyone walks around like zombies and with my goofy demeanor I only upset them. I try my best to make them smile but it seems that bringing happiness to others in Panem is a impossible task.

I’m extremely studios and love to read. I usually have to read the nonsense that the capitol feeds. Some of the books are ok but I find others boring. I've learned allot about coal and plants but that’s about it. Even though I love reading I don't excel in school. The teachers way to strict and mean. She doesn't like me joking and smiling all the time but there's really nothing I can do about that. I try to tone it down but it's kind of in my nature. My parents hope that I grow out of it but my sisters are fond of my innocence and playfulness.

Born the only son of Magnus and Elia Green I've always been spoiled. I unlike my sisters was planned. My father wanted a boy so bad that he was willing to father twelve children if it meant he finally got his boy. Lucky for him it only took try number five for me to pop out.

I've lived all my life with my parents and older sisters. There was a time that Grandpa Nimzo lived with us but he died when I was nine. It was probably the saddest day in my life. Till today’s just thinking of his death is one of the only things that can bring a frown to my face.

My sisters have always been protective of me and even though neither of them have ever been reaped they have the hugest fear that it will be me who ends up being called at the reaping. If that ever happened they would gladly take my place if it was allowed but they can't so I don't dwell on that.

Not many people are fond of my happy mood and they don’t like me to clown around, so I'm often the recipient of bullying. Kids just don't like others that are different and I'm different. I'm lucky I don't live in the seam and I've never known what it's like to be hungry. My older sisters will gladly go with out food for a night if it meant that I got to have some on my plate. I don't know why they love me so much. I guess I unlike others in district 12 got to have some sort of childhood. I didn't have to grow up so fast.
