Piper Grace, District 7

"My hair is a soft, wavy field of golden brown. Or is it blonde? Actually, it is somewhere between the two. Anyway, I always make sure it looks presentble before I go anywhere by brushing it, applying product, and then brushing it some more. Not the cheap stuff that stiffens your hair. The kind that only people like my parents can afford. The kind that makes people notice me, and in a good way.

My eyebrows are actually really thick, but I pluck them so that I don't look like a crazed animal. They match my hair when it comes to color. Some shade of honey, or gold or...whatever.They are straight, but not board straight. There are a few slight curves. My eyes themselves are big. They make me look innocent and angelic, regardless of their dark brown color. They are deep, and when people look into them, they tend to open up. They tend to show me what is inside their mind.

My nose is probably the only thing on my face that prevents me from looking innocent. It is actually quite seductive. The way the end slightly tilts up as if I were a fairy is rather inticing. When I am angry, or have lost my breath, my nostrils flare, but only slightly.

The ends of my cute mouth are tilted down when they are relaxed. Most people don't see this though, because usually, they are upturned in a smile.It makes me look a tad bit insane sometimes, but I absolutely refuse to let this cruel world make me a sad person. In the cnter of my top lip their is a slight indention that makes my mouth resemble a wide heart.

I have a long, thin scar behind my left ear from when I was thirteen and a thorn bush caught me. It is easily concealed, but It feels as if it is always swollen, so I am pretty self consious about it. People never really notice it unless I am wearing my hair up.(Which is EXTREMELY rare)

I'm not huge, but I can hold my own rather well. I stand at, eh, approxiamtely....5'6ish? Yea. I am only fit because I love to run. I run everywhere. My body is designed to be quick, with my naturally slender figure, and my surprisingly strong legs. You wouldn't think they were very powerful by just looking at them, but I can run faster, harder, and longer than most of the boys in my school.

I like to dress like a girl. Yes, I know, the girl from District 7 likes to look nice. Dressing like a girl means skirts, hosing, high heels, fur boots, and in the summer, spaghetti strapped dresses. I like tio wear heavy coats in the winter with matching accessories. I always carry a hand bag that matches what I am wearing. I also Always wear a special necklace my mother gave me that her mother had given to her, and so on and so forth, to special occaisions. Like the reaping, or something wear Daddy has to make an appearance.

I am indeed a girly-girl. I am proud to be one too. I believe girls should act like girls, and boys should act like boys. This means a large part of District 7 hates me, because most of the girls here probably would have been better off as a boy.

I love to have a good laugh. Actually, I look forward to hearing at least a joke a day. I myself am pretty funny, but I like listening to others tell jokes more. have what you would call a "dry sense of humor." I am not, in any way, a non-sarcastic person. I am very good at being sarcastic, actually. People often believe what I am saying, when really, I am just joking around.

I am a people person. I enjoy meeting new people. It gives me a chance to find a new friend. Mom used to tell me when I was a little girl to NEVER pass up a possible friendship, and I haven't. I have tryed to be friendly to everybody I have ever met, no matter what mood I was in. I let other's decide if we are going to be friends. I don't try to influence thier descision in any way. I am myself, and I stick to that. If they don't want to be friends, that is fine.

I can be rather contradictive sometimes. I am a girly girl, but I almost never wear shoes. I give people advice, but I don't even follow my OWN advice!! It is kind of funny if you think about it. I actually expect people to listen to my advice when I don't? Haha!

Although girls have never been huge fans of mine, boys REALLY like me. I'm not trying to boast, because I'm not a concieted person, but I guess it is because I am a GIRL. Not a boy trapped in a girl's body. I embrace that. Some boys want a GIRL. There are some who want those other girls, but the selection is so wide here that most of them want something different. LIKE ME!

Well, I, (Piper Marie Grace) was born in the lumber District 17 years ago on the specific date of Febuary 2nd. I am an only child, sadley. I always wanted a little sister to show the ropes to. My parents? Yea they umm, they love me, but I doubt they love each other anymore.

My childhood was ok. I mean, there really wasn't anything special about it. I was alone a lot of the time, seeing as how my Dad is the mayor and my mom is the president of a paper mill. (That stinks REALLY bad!!) Even though I was usually at my mom's paper mill, she was always to busy to notice me.

At home, it was no different. I saw Dad more than Mom, and I hardley ever saw him. I know they love me though. The doubt I have is that they don't love each other. The only time they have away from their jobs, they spend with me. If they even say hello to each other it is a good day for them. I am convinced that they have fallen out of love over the years.

School? It has been a roller coaster ride. There have been times of disappointment, times or thrill, and a few twists and turns, at the end, I am satified. I always dreamed of getting out of school. Now I dream of it never ending. One year. Tha is all I have until I am forced to choose where I will work. In Dad's office? Or Mom's paper mill? To be honest, niether of the two fasinate me.

I remember my first day of school. Mom walked me there because her paper mill is close to the school. She brought me to the Head office, talked to a lady for a few seconds, hugged me, and left. I was terryfied! Still, it taught me how to act under uncomfortable situations.
