Alexy Vecting, District 11

Alexy Vecting looks like she would do better at the Capitol than at her home. With her blonde hair, and paler skin, she is always put out as the oddball. Her hazel eyes gleam with flecks of brown glinting out every so often. Her smile is complemented on by everyone. It is always so warm and inviting, and she always makes friends with it. But she doesn't smile as often as she should, because, well, that is for the history section.

Her blonde hair is always well kept, and it shines when the sun does. It falls down to the middle of her back, and her hair is really thick. But even though it is thick, from the constant brushing it never gets tangled or matted. It is filled with large wavy curls, and she tries to make it look it's best, because she takes pride in being different than the majority of her district.

Her body is lean and fit, because of her work around the district. She works hard, so her muscles are lean, but not defined. She can do strenuous work, as well. Her legs are long and strong (ha, rhyme), and she is rather tall for her age. Her right leg has a scar from a fall in the orchard (see history), and for the rest of her life that leg was ruined. She now walks with a slight limp, but she can still use it for kicking and fighting. She is left-handed, and she broke her left wrist, so she can't bend it as well as the other one.

Alexy is well, odd, for a District Eleven girl. People always say that she ran away from District One with her parents and came here, unnoticed by the Peacekeepers. But actually, she was born and raised in the ways of District Eleven. She jumps right into things, without thinking first, so that gets her in trouble. She is often considered a nice girl, but sometimes she can really get at it. She could smile at someone, but if they say something wrong, she will fire at them with all cylinders.

She can be a sweetie pie when she wants to, and she has manners. But often she uses this to her advantage by tricking people to do stuff for her. She is a very good actress, so she can fake cry, fake laugh, fake yell at whoever she wants to and that helps her get what she wants when she wants it. But don't be fooled. She rarely will use this to hurt people, for she is very protective of people, especially her friends.

She also laughs a lot. Not at other people, mind you, but at the jokes other people make. She enjoys laughing. Her laugh is clear and sweet, and people enjoy hearing it. She feels happier when she's laughing than when she's smiling. So it takes a lot to make her cry. She's only cried once before in her life. That's for the history section though.

She loves animals. Whenever she sees a mockingjay, she sings whatever she can think of that moment. She loves talking to birds, and squirrels, and the occasional deer that passes by in the orchard. She inherited that from her mother, who had a special tone for the mockingjays, yet she never knew.

Alexy has an interesting history. So we'll start from the beginning.

Alexy was born to a loving father, and a kind mother. But she would never know her mother. Since she was the seventh child in her family, and the only surviving one, her mother couldn't bear to see another child die. But her mother never even got a chance to see her daughter grow up, for she was taken away by Peacekeepers for reasons unknown except by Alexy's father.

She and her father live alone in a rundown shack, in the midst of other rundown shacks, on the outskirts of the district square. Her father works to help pack the harvested wheat into bundles. She works to gather the wheat, threshing it, and seperating it from the weeds. She used to work in the trees, close to the sky. But when she fell from the tree at the age of nine, her leg hindered her from ever climbing trees again. It was dangerous for her, and she now had a fear of heights, a fear that she would fall again. That was the only time she had ever cried in her life.

Since she wasn't allowed to climb the trees with her friends, she didn't socialize with her friends anymore. Though she was slender enough to, her bad leg caused her to stay on the ground. Even though she loves friends, it's hard for her to find some, since she doesn't work with people her own age. It won't take much for her to find new friends though. She also broke her wrist in that fall, so she couldn't reach for the farthest fruit on the tops of the trees.
