Finished::12::Lexi Kiko::District 12

Lexi is just like the other District 12 girls. Thin. She doesn't weight much coming in at around 100 lbs. Lexi is very short also. She is only about five-feet tall at the most. Her legs are very long and it makes it easier to run long distances. Even though Lexi doesn't like to run, she will when she needs to. She is very pale though, even though she doesn't know why.

Lexi has long and matted brown hair that she isn't fond of. She usually wears her hair up in a high ponytail so it keeps out of her face. When she doesn't advert her eyes from people, they find that her eyes are big and brown. People say that when she was younger that her eyes danced. But, Lexi can't see that ever happened. All she could see was the seriousness of her eyes.

Lexi wears what she can, even if it is three times her size. Clothes are clothes. She mostly wears her baggy jeans and her old, worn-out mining boots that she got from her dad. She likes to wear her brown short-sleeved shirt and her thin, brown spring jacket.

Even though Lexi would like to view herself as an outgoing and happy girl, she is anything but. She is very shy and doesn't like to talk much due to her small studder that comes out only when she is very scared. She doesn't like big crowds and a lot of noise. She just likes to float through life and try not to be seen.

Even though people sometimes think of Lexi as a follower, in her own right she is independant. She stands on her own in the respect that she doesn't like to talk much and she doesn't really follow anything anybody else is doing. She doesn't like when people direct her to do things, but she doesn't like to stand up for herself.

Lexi is not one for talking. She might say a few words here or there to people that she doesn't know but not much after that. However, she does talk to the people in her life that are the closest to her. She doesn't like when people get hurt or killed in the mines or on the Hunger Games. She feels that it is wrong to have them. And sometimes because of that she feels like she doesn't deserve to be anywhere because of her past.

Before Lexi was born, there was an older brother that she never knew about. His parents were ver proud of him. He was very light and fast on his feet. But, one day when he was only fourteen years old he was reaped into the 48th Hunger Games. He was killed on the second day by his District counterpart with a stab to the chest.

His parents were very devastated about their loss and thought that the only way to get over it would be to have the mother get pregnant. So she did, and nine months later out came Lexi. Her mother and father agreed to never speak of their dead son again. Leaving it so that Lexi never knew that she had an older brother that was killed.

Lexi was brought into the world by a wonderful and loving mother and father who would try and protect her from everything. And that was not limited to the Hunger Games. Her father didn't like the idea of his one and only baby girl having a chance at being reaped. So, he tried to hide her from sight as long as he could.

But, that only lasted up until she turned five years old when her father saw that she needed interaction with other people instead of her parents. Her father reluctantly gave in and sent his daughter to school. Lexi started to talk, but soon found out that she carried a studder.

When she came home and told her parents this, they were afraid that she would be made fun of. But, as the years went by, her large studder became a slight pause inbetween her words. She would always stay to herself, too scared that her studder would come back and mock her.

When she turned 10, her parents became more and more frantic about her entering the Hunger Games. They wanted to keep her from the reaping but they had no choice but to take her. She went and she didn't like it. She became very scared of the Reapings and begged her parents not to let her be reaped. They gave no response.

When she was 12, she was entered for her first reaping. She crossed her fingers as she watched another girl from the 18 section be reaped. She felt bad for her but happy that it wasn't herself. She went home and watched a District 10 boy win it.

She then knew that it was hard for 12's. But, she never lost hope and she was glad she wasn't reaped for the 60st or the 61st. and on the 62nd, she will be turning 15, only three more years until she doesn't have to worry about the reaping or the games or dieing.
