Ella Peyton District 2

A soft faced beauty this girl is. She appears to be a little white girl, but she has fight in her. Her hair is golden, blonde as the sun, and straight as a ruler. However, her hair is never considered boring, always complimenting her face beautifully. She likes to wear it with spunk, and her shining brown eyes finish that spunky touch. She likes to smile, and she likes to have a clean smile. She loves making her pearly whites a fine feature to her body. Being brave, Ella pierced her ears at a young age with the help of a friend, and later, about two years later, followed up with another couple holes. Treating them well, Ella was able to get off the hook with uninfected ears. Her parents were impressed. Embracing her female features, Ella found a love for make up early on in her life. She loves dolling herself up and dressing herself up to go to parties. She likes to wear a light layer of mascara, a whisk of eye liner, and all the lip gloss in the world. She simply loves it.

Ella is a little one. She stands 5’5 with a weight of 117 lbs. She’s pretty skinny, but that’s just how she is. She’s a little girl on the outside, strong and will powerful on the inside. Her stick figure is not unhealthy however, she has been to the doctor numerous times, and each time she is told she is healthy as a horse. She isn’t all tiny and defenseless, and her training to be a Career has been running smoothly. Her quick reflexes and slim body make it easy for to learn the moves needed in order to survive. She has a large amount of muscle on her, that is barely shone, and she’s got a swimmer’s lunges, so she has strong way to her, however, she looks like such a twig and she’d blow away in the wind. She isn’t exactly curvy, because she’s so skinny, but she’s got enough hips to support her long legs. As a skinny girl, she has the problem of managing a strong diet, because of the way her body works; she is always on the prospect of being underweight. But she doesn’t starve herself, and as one of those pretty girls, she certainly does not think of herself as fat. Surprising. She is comfortable with her body type and knows that she needs to eat a bit more than the average person to keep her body weight up. It’s a good thing she loves food!

Ella is a girl who likes to try new things. She isn’t exactly the best at doing the same things over and over again, so she is always looking for something new to do and something new to keep her from growing bored. In her free time, she loved to get dirty and run through the dark woods at night, which most other girls didn't like to do. Not Ella, she’s a girl with a whole future ahead of her, because she won’t ever give up on an adventure. Nor will she give up on her dreams, because her dreams are what keep her alive. She dreams to be the best, and if being a tribute in the Hunger Games is what’s going to get her to the place she wants to be, then so be it, she was born to do this. She is fearless, and ready to be thrown into the games.

This girl loves to LAUGH. She loves to have fun, and be the kind of girl she approves of. She’s a partier, and she’s one you’ll find in the crowds, but she isn’t a slut, and she won’t get completely wasted. She’s a girl who knows how to have fun and at the same time can be completely safe and takes care of herself. She’s strong willed like that. She keeps her friends close, and her enemies far, because she isn’t a girl who likes drama. If you have a problem with her, don’t expect to get any attention, because Ella is comfortable enough with herself to not need to worry about what other people think of her. She isn’t exactly the type to make enemies anyway, she likes to have fun, like every other human being, and she likes to study and get along with all her teachers. She likes to get along with other people, because friends make everything more enjoyable, and she doesn’t really like to be down on herself. Her friends definitely lift her up, and she would like to think that she lifts them up as well. You could see her by herself though; she doesn’t need a group of girls to walk around the school. You might even find her catching up on homework assignments between classes, because that’s how much her future life matters to her. If she doesn’t go to the Hunger Games, she’ll be able to make her way with her education.

Ella is a shell, because here she is training with the meanest and bravest kids, ready to murder without a second thought, and yet she is still a human being. With that, she looks at boys, hangs with friends, and even wonders if this is the right choice for her sometimes. She’s ready though, never get her wrong. She will hack at you if you doubt her. She’ll prove herself because Ella Peyton is fearless. And isn’t going to let anyone get in her way. She is great at keeping her priorities in check. She thinks of the Games as a challenge, a challenge that she must conquer in order to keep going with her life. She wants to win. Deep down, she knows what the chances are, but from an early age she was taught to never consider the facts. You have to believe in order to succeed. She was going to win. If she went to the games, she would be able to survive. Ella is fearless.

She squeals; when she’s excited, when she’s angry, when she’s hurt. Let’s face it. If you know her, you’ve heard her squeal. She even squeals when she yawns. Some people find it oh so adorable, while others find it ever so much annoying. Ella can’t help it, it happens without her realizing, and sometimes in class you’ll hear her squeal because she can’t help it early in the morning when she’s tired. She’s gotta stretch and yawn, and she squeals when it happens. It isn’t her most favorite feature, because she gets in trouble. A lot for it. She could go without getting called off on something she can’t help every minute of her life. Another flaw she has is taking things too personally. Throwing fits? Oh yeah, her specialty. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, oh man, you might want to get out of the room. Especially when she’s drunk, because she’ll scream, and she’ll hit, and at one particular moment, her lowest moment of her life, she actually needed to be dragged off a student after the girl had slapped Ella of course. Being upset, not her strongest point. A definite flaw no one wants to see.

Really, she’s anything but what everyone expects of her. She’s the sweetest girl in the world, and just happens to hang with the meanest and toughest. She loves to smile and laugh, but if you don’t know her too well, you might not get the chance to meet this side of her. She comes off as a bitch, because she has to be one in order to fit in with the other careers. This is her job, and she needs to do it well. It’s a dog eat dog world out there and she knows this. But once you do get to really know her, you might fall in love with how sweet she really can be. She has a whole world in front of her and she knows this, she is just the cutest thing by herself. Ella could laugh for hours. She’s one of those people who easily cries when she hears something really funny. When people get to see this side of her, they aren’t exactly shocked either, because they always knew there was something more than what she was showing them. She isn’t exactly hiding it, but at the same time, she can’t afford to show anything that could be considered weakness. She isn’t willing to risk anything, and people knew this, they grew a respect for it, while others of course didn’t. She is this completely sweet girl on the inside, and that’s how people start to think of her as, “little”. She just seems too precious when she is who she is, small and little, and inside just as sweet as she appears, people begin to think of her as, “Little Ella.” She secretly doesn’t mind it, but of course, she has to pretend that she is tougher than “Little Ella”.

Ella was born on December 12th, sixteen years ago. Her biological mother was named Lily George, and she was the freest spirited lady you would ever meet. She was young; she was a bit small, standing only 5’4 and was twig skinny. At nineteen years old, she thought she was ready to marry, and start a family. She graduated from school as a popular little one, never having to go to the Games. Being well liked among her peers and teachers, it was no surprise that she had a loving sweetheart who had been with her throughout high school. Aaron Peyton was a year older then Lily, but was in love with her and got a steady job while she finished school. When Lily finally completed her last year, Aaron welcomed her in open arms, and they moved in together, a brave choice for a young couple ready to start a family. It was the best way to start their life, they were madly in love and it didn’t take Lily long to be pregnant with her first born child, Ella Peyton, or to get married in front of many, many, friends.

Ella was born in the morning of a sunny winter day, the snow on the ground was fluffy, and Aaron and Lily couldn’t be happier. It was their first child, and the beginning of a great family. She was born at home, and she was pretty much as healthy as possible, except for her weight. She was a small baby, weighing only 5.5 lbs. Of course the young couple was worried, but the doctor assured them that it was normal for small mothers to have small babies. Ella proved the doctors words too, because she was as healthy and as strong as a horse, she was just on the small side. At three months old, Ella was right on track for baby growth and even offered her parents a smile. They beamed of course; they were so excited to see their baby growing healthily, because as much as the doctor assured them that Ella was okay, her weight worried them. But still, Ella kept proving her worried parents wrong, because she kept up right along with normal kid growth. She began standing up at seven months old, her parents were shocked but of course excited. They didn’t know how it was possible, but they weren’t complaining. At just a year mark, Ella even began walking. Shakily of course, because she was just beginning! But it didn’t change how proud her parents were.

It was for her second birthday. Her parents were going to throw her a huge party. They had invited all the neighboring kids, and were on their way to the store two days before the party to pick up some decorations. Lily wanted the cute little birthday hats and sparkly swirly decorations, and so they made a trip out to the store that happened to be the farthest away. On their way, they passed many peacekeepers who seemed to be in an unusually bad mood. Aaron saw one beating on a young child, and immediately stepped in without thinking. Lily rushed after him trying to stop him, but it was too late. The peacekeeper executed both of them on the spot, leaving Ella without parents.

Ella was taking by the peace keepers and brought to the higher officials. It wasn’t long before a young man came to adopt her. His name was Ben Falcon and they let him keep her without much trouble. Ella liked Ben plenty, but it was hard for her as a young child to lose the only family she had. Without her parents, she was the only one left of the Peyton family. As Ella grew, Ben began to get her interested in the games. He was the one to show her the life of a Career Tribute and give her something to work towards. Ella began to love it. She believed that this was her chance to do something meaningful for her name. She would make herself strong and great just as the winners had been. She believed that if she were to go into the Games, she would be the victor. She really believed that too. Ben was proud, and he turned into something of her mentor. Now Ella has been training for 12 years of her life. She started off very small in her young years, but now that is nearly an adult, she is full on training. She learns quickly, and she believes she’s ready for the ultimate test.
