Willow Chestnut - District 7

Willow is tall, 180 cm/5'11''. She has broad shoulders and hips, and she is heavily built. She is not especially strong, but as a citizen of district 7, she still isn't weak. She has large hands and feet for a woman, but her fingers are not broad like a man's, they are long and slender. She has long limbs for her length, while her back is short.

Willow's skin, although tanning easily, is light. Thus, she is tan in the summer months, but pale in the winter. Her hair is light brown, bordering to dark blonde. She has not cut her hair for as long as she can remember, and so it reaches almost to her knees, and is quite worn down. As this is quite impractical, Willow almost always keeps her hair in a braid, often pinned up in a bun on the head as well.
She usually dresses in whatever there is to dress in, but she loathes wearing skirts. She finds it both impractical, and uncomfortable.

Willow's face is oval, with quite a soft appearance all over. Her mouth is small, but with full lips. The nose is also small, and a turn-up. Her eyes are small, but round, and very dark brown, almost black.

Willow is not an outgoing person. She does not make friends easily, and can seem a little weird when one first meets her. She can be both very quiet, and very noisy, depending on the situation, if she feels secure or not.
Willow is often socially awkward, and so she can quite often back away quietly and go somewhere on her own. Often she will just walk as silent as possible.

Although not very socially skilled, and with a little too much temper, Willow is kind. She usually means no harm, even though she sometimes can say something right out hurtful, often even without realizing. She is a good listener, and can be trusted. She does not lie, partly because she is a terrible liar, but it still makes her easy to trust. Even if not seeming so on the outside, Willow is quite timid, and her feelings can quite easily be hurt.

She often drowns a little in her own thoughts. Sometimes it can be a hard to reach through to her. She sometimes react quite weirdly to things. Sometimes getting very angry over little things, or upset over a joke.
Willow gets quite worn out from social situations, and the more worn out she is, the more easily she can get angry or upset. And so, over the years she has learnt to find somewhere quiet if she feels worn out.

Willow was born into an overall happy family, to her mother, Hazel Chestnut, and her father, Birch Chestnut. She has an older brother, at 18, Ash.
Her family has usually managed well, and the need for tesserae has mostly been absent. Willow have never had any problems at school, she actually took it quite easily.

As she grew older, without growing very many friendships, she instead started to climb trees. The taller the better. Willow could sit in a tree, thinking about all sorts of things, feeling isolated from the world below. Her eyesight being not bad enough to bother her enough for her family to save and spend money on glasses, Willow could mix up people from a distance, making her come across as even weirder than she would have been, it was sort of established that that girl was not quite right in the head.

Growing even older, Willow started to work in the woods. She hasn’t or isn't doing anything out of the ordinary there, just chopping down, and chopping up trees. At any available break, she will climb a tree. This has lead to some scary situations of her missing the end of the break, and the tree being attempted cut down. Fortunately, she noticed this all of the times, and no accidents happened. But this didn't exactly help getting rid of the rumour of her not being quite right in the head.
