Aileen Faulconer (District Seven)

Aileen’s hair is long and a mixture between smooth and wavy, it is an odd reddish-brown color with a couple of natural bronze highlights. She always wears it in a neat ponytail; with some lose locks of hair from her side-bangs. Aileen loves her hair, but never rubs it in people’s faces. She rarely wears it lose, but when she does, she’s either about to bathe, or wearing a warm cap to protect her ears from the cold weather of her Disctict.

Aileen has dark olive eyes, which look like a cat’s from the way they shine at night time. She has bushy eyebrows, which she doesn’t care about. She has a small ski-slope nose with a slight drop at the end. Her teeth are a dirty-white color, but pretty straight, which are framed by full reddish-pink lips, which are always kept slightly parted. Her face is a little round and long, but with sharp features, like her straight jaw-line, it dismisses it’s “roundness”. She has a cute dimple, which forms in her right cheek whenever she smiles or laughs, along with a scar, that people only notice it when she frowns, since it is located between her eyebrows, and has almost disappeared with the time. Her cheeks are almost always a rosy-pink color due to the cold, or because she blushes very often.

Aileen’s arms are long and slim; not too skinny, but not too fat. She has a series of bruises in them, because of all the hard-work in the woods. Also, they are slightly strong, because most of her life-time she has carried an ax, and they are pretty heavy. Her legs are long and slim; and again, not too skinny, but not too fat. They are muscular, and filled with bruises from tripping so many times and hitting herself with rocks or tree roots. Her torso is slim, and some-what skinny; you can’t see her rib-cage completely, but there are no “belly slices” in it. She has a small four-pack of abs, and a small hole, which is her belly button. Her feet are slim, but not too skinny. They are filled with bruises and blisters from all the time she wears her boots in the outdoors.

In general, people (as well as herself) see Aileen as a pretty young lady with a great future.

Coming from District Seven, Aileen has a really peculiar personality. She has got her funny and charming personality from her father, while she has a soft, kind and imaginative side from her mother. Aileen can be pretty cunning, and determinate , because when she wants something, she gets it whether they like it or not.

Aileen is wise, sly, smart, and sometimes bubbly. She tends to blush a lot because she is shy around people she doesn’t know. Growing up without a motherly figure has been tuff for Aileen because she hasn’t had a guardian to tell her what’s wrong or what’s right. She has her father, but nothing is compared to a mother’s advice. She finds other people hard to trust, but she is easily trusted herself. When her mother passed away, Aileen became stronger and a little bit cold; she was never going to be the same little cheerful girl her father knew.

People are charmed by this mysterious girl’s personality, which nobody knows how she is going to react over a simple fact. Aileen loves a challenge, she is daring and brave and is always looking for a new adventure in her District.

Aileen’s birth parents are Evan Faulconer, and Fae Faulconer (née Wilkins). Her father, Evan, was a handsome and popular man, while her mother, Fae, was a shy and quiet lady which always seemed to be elsewhere. They met at the forest, where Fae always escaped to, to get away from reality. Evan was two years older than Fae, but it still was “love at first sight”. From then on, both lovebirds looked for any excuse of being together, and after four years of dating, Evan proposed to Fae in a late November night, while they were both walking around their neighborhood. They married in June 21st of the next year, and had their first daughter four years later.

In her first years of life, Aileen was a cheerful and cute little girl. She had her mother’s eyes and her father’s hair, making her the perfect child for her parents which loved her until death. When Aileen had seven years of age, her mother became really sick, and after several months of watching her being tortured by such a horrible disease, Fae Faulconer passed away.

This had a huge impact in her only-daughter’s life; Aileen became less cheerful, and in a way, less herself. Her father entered a huge depression, which lasted over a year, and in that time, Aileen’s tutors where her grandparents. Once Evan had composed himself enough to take care of his little angel, Aileen was brought to him. She had changed a lot, but she still was the reflection of his dear dead bride.

Aileen’s mother taught her to carve wood, and she always wears a carved heart in a chain as a necklace around her neck which her mother made for her when Aileen was five years old. Aileen has a passion for drawing too, which she learned herself. Her room is full of sheets of paper, all filled with Aileen’s drawings and some of her mother’s carving, accompanied by some of her own.
