Dusty Opal ~ District 9

You'd never be able to tell she was blind by looking at her eyes. They're a deep chocolate brown and you can often see them slightly shine in the sunlight. Her eyelashes are long and can draw attention to her sightless eyes. Her eyes attract a lot of attention being one of her most attractive features. Their shape is truly distinctive. They are oval shaped and pointed on each end.

Dusty's hair is a light blonde and reaches down to about her shoulders. There is just about no wave to her hair but she has some natural highlights. Her hair is slightly layered and her bangs are grown down a bit. Her hair is normally tangelled slightly in the back but is rather noticable with that fact. Not being able to see it this doesn't bother her but her mother tends to point it out.

Her nose is somewhat of a triangular shape and rounded at the end. Her skin is light colored and her skin doesn't really tan. Her chin juts out a bit and is rounded at the end. Her cheek bones aren't too noticable and not much of a distinctive feature. Her face is lightly freckled and she never wears make-up.

Her choice of clothes isn't too fancy. They're actually a bit less than average for most of the district. She wears clothes that rarely match and normally they're tanktops with spaghetti straps. Her clothes are often stained and ocassionally ripped. Dusty doesn't care what others think of her appearance, especially when it comes to her clothes.

Her arms are skinny and generally long compared to some people. She sticks out in height from the rest of her family. She's shorter than most of the people in her family. Dusty also weighs a lot less, being rather underfed. Her legs are long making her a fast runner but she is never really doing anything athletic being blind.

Dusty is probably one of the most selfless people in the district. She is not really confident in herself at all. She gives her food to her siblings because she doesn't think she is much use to her family being blind and unable to help with anything. On the other hand Dusty is very confident in others.

Dusty is a very open and honest person. She has good-will and is very forgiving. She is very kind and open-minded. Dusty is modest and doesn't get jealous. Another thing she tends to do is take blame for things that aren't her fault.

Dusty never lies. She is very sympathetic and trusting, allowing other people to tell her what it there because she can't see it. Dusty is very willing and work-oriented, rarely putting convinence first because that has rarely been an option. She is a very unorganized person and can be rather unpredictable. She can be a very serious person yet she loves to fool around with her friends.

Dusty lives with her Mother, her Father, her one brother and her 6 sisters. Her sisters are named Moka, Simona, Hazara, Loretta, Emma, and Kiara. Moka and Simona are 19 year-old twins. Kiara is also 19, but not a twin. Hazara, often called Haz, is 12 years old. Dusty's brother, Robert, is 14 years old.

Dusty was born blind. She has actually become rather skilled in her 18 years of blindness. When she was 2 she would play with her siblings and it was almost like she could see. At age 4 she would walk around the district a lot with her mother. By the time Dusty was 7 she began to know her way around the District so well that some people couldn't tell she was blind. Some people she knows haven't even figured it out yet.

When she was 10 she began to make really good friends with a girl named Gira, who is one year older than her. They have been best friends ever since then and for a while Gira seemed to be the only one that really accepted her for who she is. When she was 12 she met her friend Forlin and when she was 14 she met her friend Sana. She met Entis when she was 16.

Forlin is now her boyfriend at age 18. Since they have known each other for a long time, well, six years, they have been dating for one year. Dusty has comforted Forlin when his brother got reaped. Dusty helps Forlin take care of his brother that wasn't reaped, Tobias, or as he is often called, Toby. Moka has a boyfriend named Max.

On an average day Dusty can be found with her family and friends. They are always making jokes and comforting each other. Dusty is rarely doing anything athletic because she can't really see to do it. When Dusty is in a place she isn't the most familliar with she tends to run into things. Dusty laughs about this with her friends after it's over with.

This is probably the character I've gone most in detail about.
