Estella District 8

Name: Estella 'Stella' Collin
Age: 16
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 8
Appearance:

Stella..... Well she has almost always been described as insane half of the time, and sweet, maybe even slightly innocent the other half. But really, she only really gets "insane" when shes reckless. At these moments in time that can occur quite often, her face usually forms a michievious grin, which inches across her face suspenfully. Then, a burst of excitement seaps into Stella's eyes. When this happends, almost nothing can stop her from doing whatever her creative mind comes up with.

Stella has wavy blonde hair, that zig-zags softly down to the top part of her back and chest. This hair is usually tucked neatly behind her ear, revealing part of her pale face. This hair also allows people to see her olive green eyes, that hide behind her hair like a shy child behind its mother's legs. Her face is soft, but Stella has a slightly pointed chin. Stella has a pretty smile, and a soft but oddly shaped nose.

Stella doesnt really like... Well doing things she doesnt like. One of those is exercising, because she finds this boring. Yes, she loves running, and exploring and swimming, and illegal hunting but when its called exercise, or training she won't stick to it for long. This results in her body being pretty muscular, but unhealthy looking, with the yellow-blue tints of bruises to scatter acrosd her skin, and even a few pretty big scars now and then, and a lot of these scars are on her fingers or near her hands. Also, she is not very healthy, not healthy looking either. Her ribs show, and her arms are slightly boney from under-eating frequently. Stella is about 5'1. She has medium sized feet, and her middle toe on each foot is longer than the rest. Stella has very pale skin.

Personality:

A first look at Stella, and you would think she was a shy, quiet girl who reads books in her free time away from school. Someone who is very smart, and aces all of her courses, even if its one of those "Surprise!" Pop Quizes. Shes one of those girls you lean over and steal the answers off their paper while the teacher isnt looking.

If you thought this, you'd be totally wrong. Well except for being pretty smart. Stella is really smart, and clever. She understands the world in a way other people don't. But she surely doesn't show it at school. Stella makes many Cs and maybe even the occasional B in most of her classes, except art. She is very creative, and most of all likes to draw Hunger Games themed pictures, and pictures of places away from the districts, places where no humans except maybe tributes and animals dare step. Like the snowy landscape of a soft white mountain range, or the birds-eye view of a thick forest, dotted with specks of green and brown.

Stella is very reckless. This recklessness is fueled by anticipation and an adventurous soul, determined and proud. She is like the psycopaths you will see walking on tightropes, over 50 feet drops. Except, she won't be doing that. Instead, Stella would probably be the one trying to get over the electric fence that goes around most districts, with only a rope. Somehow though, most of her adventures don't end too badly. A couple times she is caught out of her house too late at night by peacekeepers, but other than that she never gets caught. Maybe this is because she doesn't take the time to be scared, or is so determined she is also cautious, though most people can't imagine her even speaking the word "Careful".

Stella is definately a free spirit. She can barely stay in her own school for more than 6 hours, and often takes the risks and skips. She gets hyper easily, mostly when she's excited, but never when she's about to do something dangerous for some reason. She loves to explore, and be in high places, like on top of roofs. Surprisingly enough, she has walked on a lot of roofs, but tries to only go on the flat ones because she's afriad if she walks on the slanted ones, a shingle could fall off the roof and hit a mirror. Thats a coupla years bad luck! So she stays away from those roofs.

Stella is very outgoing. She will talk to complete strangers if they are near her, and say hi to passerbyers. She hates when people just stare at her as if she's crazy. Even though Stella does think she is slightpy crazy anyway. She is quite thoughtful, and actually listens to people when they aren't even talking to her. Stella doesn't think of herself as a stalker, but sometimes she even likes to watch other peoples lives, and follows them around for a bit. She thinks of herself like a curious girl, just wondering about the world. Stella is almost never caught, despite her ghostly appearance when hiding in the shadows.

When Stella is around adults, or grown-ups, she acts much different than usual. She acts mature, and a little innocent. Stella likes to confuse people, but she respects some adults, and trys to act prim and proper around them.

History:

Stella is the youngest of her two brothers. When she was born, everyone was happy. Her birth was normal, she was a good weight and not sick. Everything was fine, but her father wasn't the man her mother was married to. Her father didn't find out though, and her mother just faked a smile and pretended everything was great. Stella started talking at a very young age, and learned very quickly. Her brother's loved her, them being 7 and 6, and way older than her. Her father loved her too, and her mother but her brother's love was the biggest.

Stella loved to learn as soon as she started school. Learning to read was a breeze, and she was reading chapter books by 2nd grade. But then, she started getting bullied for being so smart. They called her a nerd, and other names. Soon enough, her grades went down from As, but Stella put an impact on the school. She wasn't popular.... But she quickly formed into a tomboy, and was around guys a lot. She was known for being able to acomplish any dare. She lived up to this, and was proud.

Stella was in 5th grade when one of her guy friends asked her out. It seemed normal enough, dating. A lot of the kids were doing it already. But Stella declined. After that, two other boys asked her out too. On the third one, Stella just sighed and said she was gay. Some of the boys were a little surprised, but none of the girls were. Stella wasn't gay though.... It was just an excuse. She was afriad of marriage, and romance, and.. well commitment. She didn't think she'd ever want to be married. The very thought, of giving a man children, and sleeping beside him every night scared her to death. Nobody bothered her with love anymore though.

Stella turned 12 and her mother tried to teach her to make clothes. Her mother tried and tried, but Stella could just never stay still, and her fingers weren't nimble enough. Her mother gave up, and Stella worked in the cotton fields with her brothers. This she was better at. The picking of it was hard, dirty work. It was exhausting and most of the time when she was done her fingers were bleeding from the thorns. She learned though, and dealt with it. Stella would not complain, because she rather be outside than anything else.

When Stella was 13 she started wandering into the woods. She explored, and played with the electric fence. She also started wandering the streets at night, and exploring the alleyways and mazes of buildings throughout the district. She also started skipping school.
