Name: Audrey Jones
Age: Fourteen
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 4
Appearance:

Audrey is a 14-year-old girl from the fishing district, District 4. She has straight, black hair that is dark as the night sky and smooth as silk. Her skin is slightly tanned due to swimming for the past six years of her life. She has a scar at the back of her right shoulder due to an accident that happened when she was little. She also has slightly long arms that help her swim faster and throw spears at a longer distance.

Audrey has an average build. She is not fat or thin. She is somewhere in the middle - with the right amount of muscles at the right places. She is 5"3 1/2 feet tall and she feels really insecure about it. On rare occasions, when she has to wear closed shoes, she tends to put in some tissues to make herself look taller. She also gets frizzy hair on bad mornings so she has to wet it in the ocean in order for it to be straight and smooth again.

Personality:

Audrey is loving and protective toward the people she cares about. She is also shy and quiet. The only person she really cares about is her aunt so she doesn't bother concern about people she barely knows. She finds the teachings about the Hunger Games in school as pointless because she believes that the Hunger Games is a lame excuse of taking away innocent lives by forcing children to kill each other in a stupid arena. Audrey doesn't have much friends because people around her school call her "The freak with weak parents" because of what her mother has done in the previous Hunger Games. Although Audrey is considered a freak, she is helpful towards the needy by always offering her helping hand to those who are in need. Even if she is considered a freak, many boys around her school seem to find her pretty. Some tend to call her, "Beautiful stranger" because because people especially girls barely talk to her. Audrey has been considered an outcast for a very long time so she doesn't really mind it that much now. She always says to herself, "Being unwanted isn't a new thing for me."
Audrey may seem to be the quiet, defenseless kind of person but she also has a very different side. Audrey tends to be stubborn at times especially when she knows that she did the right thing. She would usually bring out a different side of her like fighting for her right when people are ganging up against her for something that she has done. Audrey also has no self-control when people make fun of her aunt for raising a "stupid, reckless child who has dishonored District 4" She tends to fight back by silently sneaking some rotten food all over the house of whoever ridicules her aunt.

History:

Audrey's mother, Andrea was 18 years old when she was born while her father, Ren was 20 years old. After a few months of giving birth, it was the reaping of the Hunger Games. It was Andrea's final year in the reaping but unfortunately she was chosen as tribute leaving Audrey with Ren. As soon as the games began, she was killed by the male tribute from District 2 leaving Audrey to be raised by Ren. After 5 years of agony, Ren left Audrey to his older sister Breeze and then he died by drowning himself in the ocean.

AGE -- [ Fourteen ]
GENDER -- [ Female ]
DISTRICT/AREA -- [ District Four ]

.// appearance

Audrey is a fourteen-year-old girl from the infamous Career fishing district, District 4. Where they're all winners. Girls from District 4 are usually slender, yet with refined muscles from all the swimming, and Audrey was no different. She was of average build―she was not too thin or not too fat. Her limbs were longer, which was perfect for swimming, running and throwing spears at a longer distance. So I can show them that I'm not at all what they think I am.

[/color] Though she might look a little offset with her height of five feet and three and a half inches, there was certianly nothing a little tweak could fix. Whenever she could find the opportunity, she always wear closed-off shoes, and that's because of the tissues she stuffs into her footwear in order to give her more of that height boost that she needed. Audrey was definitely insecure about her height―all conversations leading towards that touchy subject was bound to be ignored. Not that I'd have that much people to talk to.

Her skin, which was originally pale, had turned into something slightly tanner. It was all due to the past six years of swimming and swimming and swimming[/color]. She was blessed to have it with less-noticeable hair and free of spots. Her face was oval-shaped, and had eyes the color of chocolates that were craved so much by children. Whenever she caught anyone's attention, their eyes always lingered for a minute on her eyes. They weren't striking as they weren't blue and pale as the snow or green as the grass, but there was just something about it that caught attention like a crab trap. She has straight, black hair as the midnight sky and smooth as silk that her aunt put aside for safe-keeping. But they had those crazy days wherein they would a mind of their own and stick up in all places. I had to sprinkle some ocean water in it to fully smooth in. It never responds to tap water.[/color]

She never wears tank tops, all due to the fact that she has a scar of the back of her right shoulder from an accident that happened from when she was a child. So far, no one had ever seen it except for her aunt, and I would like to keep it that way.[/color][/justify]

.// personality

"Audrey Jones? That girl who never talks? Yeah, she never really talks to anyone. She's pretty shy and quiet all the time."

Audrey was never one to socialize. She kept herself isolated from the rest of the world, and had been successful at keeping everything to herself ever since she started schooling. Not when they all don't want me. She would much rather sit down in a chair farthest from the rest of the class and listen to whatever she should be listening to, which are mostly teachings about the Hunger Games. Audrey thinks the whole point of the Games is to just find an excuse to kill off innocent lives.

"Look at her... she's so silent... doesn't she get bored... I bet she's snobby and all..."

[/color]

But Audrey is far from the facade that she shows everyone around her. She is loving and caring to the people who she cares for the most, and that's not really counting a lot. All her life she only had her aunt with her. She had no one else to go to, no one else to trust, especially when she had already been labelled different names her entire life.

"The quiet girl."
"The one with the weak parents."
Disgrace.
Weak.[/color]

But Audrey is far from weak. All of these accusations and rumours and names she had to live with were greeted by nothing but a straight, hard face. She wasn't the type who gives up, not in front of these people. But when things get too tough and rough and when they start ridiculing her aunt for raising a disappointment, she certainly wasn't one to back down. Not me. Definitely not me.[/color] How does she fight back? Well, in case you suddenly start finding rotten food spread all over your house, you can only guess who is laughing now although they never really guessed that it's me, which is good.[/color]

"Hey, who's that? Oh, you mean her? That's Audrey Jones. She's kinda pretty..."[/color]

Audrey wasn't the most prettiest of the bunch, but she was attractive in her own way, and her silent yet strong aura (with physical features of her own) that she gives off was something to be reckoned with. But Audrey never takes that as a sign―she was an outcast and those stares and glances could never really mean anything good, right? Being unwanted is certainly nothing new to me.

"The stupid, reckless girl who has dishonored District 4."[/justify]

.// history

Audrey was born out of love from eighteen-year-old Andrea and twenty-year-old Ren, both regular citizens of DIstrict 4. It was only a week before the dreaded Reaping Day when she was given birth into this world. But then the fateful day came, and although it has been Andrea's last year, she had been chosen to become the District's chosen female tribute. Andrea had to leave and play out what fate had in store for her. District 4 never had someone decline in their history of Reapings, and to decline was to publicly humiliate yourself. "You have to promise me that you will win. Promise me!" Little did Ren knew that that would be his final words to Andrea.

Day One. 3 kills. You can do this. Day Two. Safe. Audrey and I are counting on you. Day Three. 1 kill. Please be careful. Day Four. Killed by a District 2 tribute.

"Ta-take care of Audrey, R-ren," Andrea struggled out before she drew her final breath, and finally closed her eyes.

After five years of pure agony of living without his love, he left the child Audrey to his sister Breeze. He paddled a boat as far as he could get, and although a skilled swimmer, plunged himself into the depths of the cold ocean water, limbs lifeless and had no intentions of rising back.

Poor Breeze was disheartened with her brother now long gone, but she knew she had to live on and raise Audrey to live her life, and so she did that. But life was far from normal for Audrey. Everyone hates me.

[/color] She had no one to play to, and sleepless nights of drying her eyes out gradually turned into hours of solidity. She had learned to accept the fact that she was ~~not wanted~~ an outcast at a very young age, and she was fine with that.

But Breeze wasn't alone at bringing up Audrey, and she had her husband to help her. But Audrey's uncle wasn't the best one there is, and he had his fair share of nights going home drunk enough for Audrey to stay away from him, especially when he had his violent fits. But one night, her uncle came back home more drunk and before, and Lord knows why, but he wanted Audrey to clean his feet for him. Audrey was dead beat, already tired and sleepy from a day of helping Breeze with the household chores, and accidentally fell asleep. Her uncle dragged her by the collar and on to the ocean, and dumped her there. The then-six-year-old Audrey felt the electrifying numbness of the harsh, cold waters and woke up to a jolt, and flapped her arms and shook her legs in an attempt to swim. Unlike most children, she didn't knew how to swim because Breeze was almost too busy. She could feel her lungs bursting with accidental ocean waters, until she could feel someone lifting her up and on to the shore. It was a boy who I always find by the sea. He saved me. Ever since that incident, Audrey pushed herself to learn how to swim, never again to be swallowed by the ocean. She swam and swam, on the crack of dawn, before she goes to school and on until sunset, right after she's dismissed. That went on and on until she became good at it, and Breeze introduced her to spears, for both Games training and source of food.[/justify]
