Jarica Reeves, District 7 [finished]

Name: Jarica Lynae Reeves, nickname Jari
Age: 16
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 7
Appearance:

A lot of people think Jarica is pretty. She's certainly not the most gorgeous woman in the world. But she's not the ugliest either. Her brownish reddish hair falls in gentle curls around her head. She has a light brown highlight, right at the edge of her hair, toward her face. These are natural, from spending many years in the sun. She often braids her hair in the so called "weave," as many African American women do. The last 3/4 of her hair is left unbraided, however.

She stands relatively tall at 5' 11". She is dark, but since she is not full African American, she is just a very dark tan. She has a beautiful smile, always as white as she can keep it. She hsa dry sking that often cracks and sometimes bleeds, from using the rough wooden handles of the axes in District 7.

Some people just compare her face to a downright horse. It's bony, and boxy. She has thick eyebrows, which some find, well, yucky. Her hair also gets very greasy fast. Her hair is strangely soft, however.

Personality:

Jarica is loud. When you talk to her, you would notice how lud, obnoxious, and crazy she is. She is very outgoing, and is not afraid to approach you to ask about your shoes or your hair. She is a very strong and tough-witted person, she will not give in to teasing easily. She loves to talk. She also loves climbing trees.

On the inside, Jarica is a very secure person. She always treats her elders with the utmost respect, as she has been raised to do. She rarely flaunts what she has, and she is courteous. Jarica loves kids as well. She babysits for some of the town folk, and the kids love her. She does it for free though, seeing as though not many people in District 7 have as much money as her.

In terms of relationships, Jarica has many boys that ask her out. She usually turns them down, but sometimes she says yes. She is very commited to a relationship when she has one, and is appaled at even the idea of cheating on one's "significant other." She also helps many people get "hooked up" with the boy or girl that they like.

On family, Jarica is very courteous and respectful to her parents. Her younger brother poses some problems, though, but she resolves them quickly nd effectively. Jarica loves her family, and would love to spend the rest of her life with them. This is why she hates the Games, because they put that dream in danger.

History:

Jarica was born on a cool April day, the 5th to be exact, before her father had struck rich. When she was a child, her mother made her clothes out of old rags and scraps of things. Their house had a dirt floor, and two rooms, as they had built it themselves out of smuggled and stashed lumber. Jarica always had a happy childhood, however, and she had many friends near her house. She also had her older brother.

When Jarica became old enough to go to school, she walked in the door every day with a smile, often missing a few teeth. She was your average toddler in District 7, and loved school. She hated the curiculum, specifically math, or "rythmematic" as she called it. She always had a steady supply of friends, but was quite distant toward her teachers. Except for one. Her fourth grade teacher, happened to be her aunt.

When she turned eleven, her older brother moved out of the house to a part far away from them in District 7. She was heartbroken, knowing she couldn't see her sister again. When she turned 13, her parents divorced, but maintained a healthy relationship, only to remarry later. She learned how to climb a tree at this age. She learned how to weild an axe at a very young age, and she is now adept with hand axes. They are now one of the wealthiest families in their part of District 7.



Jarica is currently pretty wealthy, and gives out her money. Her parents still want her to compete in the Games, but no one knows why. Maybe they just think she can do it.
