Sterling Lyon, 1

Sterling is tall and slim, with mid-back length dark red hair and unusually bright green eyes. Her lips are round and dark, and her cheeks are naturally rosy. She is very beautiful, almost unnaturally so.

Sterling has all of the little things that make someone more beautiful, the little things that make all other women envious. She has long, curly black eyelashes and her hair is thick and shiny, her body is curvy but fit and her nails and teeth are perfect, and even. Sterling hates her hands and feet. They're calloused and muscular, the veins close to the surface and dark blue. She can't avoid people from looking at her hands but she refuses to go barefoot anywhere.

While her wardrobe does have variations, it never sways from the colour theme of greens and whites, to compliment her pale skin and glowing eyes. Her favourite everyday outfit is a fitted v-neck pale green shirt, and a pair of white pants that accentuate her long legs. Being from District 1 does give girls some advantages in the beauty department, and Sterling makes full use of the resources. She wears more makeup than is necessary and uses all the techniques she has been taught to keep her beauty sharp and fierce.

Sterling is fierce and sharp, a fighter. If she had been born in a lower district she probably would have ended up a stand up person, but as it is, all she cares about is winning and being in the Hunger Games. She loves to pick fights with people and never lets go of grudges.

Sterling is very self-involved, and often misses what people are saying because she is thinking about her hair, or clothes, or expression. Her bedroom is decorated with mirrors, and closets and dressers to hold all her clothes, which she loves like her own children.

Once you get past all her flaws, Sterling is a nice girl, with a knack for doing the noble thing in a dire situation. She has a soft side, and once you reach it Sterling becomes a loyal and generous friend.

Ever since she was a little girl, Sterling's life has either been about her looks or the Hunger Games. When she was four, her parents, who lived in the poorer side of District One sent her to live with her eccentric ex-victor Grandmother in the Victors Village. Her mother had won the Hunger Games and is now devoting the rest of her life to make sure Sterling gets a house next-door.
Her grandmother has always given Sterling the best, the best clothes, the best food, the best training. Sterling is proficiently trained in club, swordsmanship, hand to hand combat, and bow and arrow, however where she really shines is with a spear. Sterling trains everyday for five hours, and studies previous games for two every night.
Sterling is gaining ferocity, knowing she has barely 3 more tries to get into the Hunger Games, every year she has been about to volunteer when someone else steps forward. This year she is determined, knowing if she doesn't become a tribute soon, her life will be all but over.
Sterling isn't particularily close with her mother or Father, but she does have a half brother on her Mothers side that she is very close with. Her half brother, Liev, was the one who taught her how to play paino, with the grand piano in her grandmother's house. Her grandmother doesn't particularily like her playing, but it is all that Sterling has that won't fade in a few years and so Sterling takes refuge in it, spending all her money on music books and things for the piano.
