Maxime Majors - District 6

She likes people to call her Max, but most just call her 'Nose', due to her most prominent facial feature. Her nose is quite long, but aside from that, she's got light gray almond-shaped eyes and neatly shaped eyebrows. Her face is long and somewhat angular, and her lips are slightly pouty. Max tends to try and draw attention away from her nose by wearing makeup, but no matter how good the makeup, her nose still steals the spot-light.

About 5 feet 6 inches tall, she's not the shortest girl in her district, and she's pretty gangly. She doesn't have alot of meat on her bones, which also means she's pretty much the shape of a ruler, which she hates. Her skin is slightly tanned, and her hair is long and light blonde, reaching to the middle of her back. She usually keeps in tied up and out of her face. Max usually dresses in whatever is convenient for the season, and she tends to like girlier colors.

Max isn't the type to let much bother her. She's got thick skin, despite being an only child, and doesn't care when people call her 'Nose'. But deep down, she doesn't really like being made fun of. She tries to keep her emotions under wraps, and then writes her feelings down in a journal when she gets home. She's not the smartest apple on the tree, and this is also a source of insecurity for her, especially since her parents expect so much from her.

Max is an excellent babsitter. She loves children, and someday hopes to have kids. She's always looking for babysitting gigs, and wishes her parents had had more children, so she could have had younger siblings. She feels protective for her neighbor's children, whom she regards as siblings and always plays with. She's very compassionate and empathetic.

Max doesn't only play with younger kids, she does hang out with kids her own age. She has a few close friends from school, but has a hard time getting along with kids from school, mostly because they make fun of her. She also deals with crippling shyness when it comes to boys; she can't even talk around them without stuttering and blushing.

Born to Peter and Florence Majors, Maxime was expected from a young age to become a doctor like her mother or an engineer like her father. But Max has never wanted to be either of these things; Max has always wanted to be either a teacher ora mother. She's never been very good in school, seeing as she didn't inherit her parent's intelligence, but she's always been compassionate towards her peers, forgiving them when they made fun of her and accepted her somewhat oddball friends for their differences.

At the age of 6, Max's mother found out she was pregnant with a second child. Max was excited to have a younger sibling, but after her mother lost the baby midterm, their happy little family started going downhill. Her father began coming home later and later, and sometimes didn't come home at night at all. Right after Max's 7th birthday, her father left her mother, and a year later, married a woman named Terry. He's still maintained a presence in Max's life, but only to constantly try and make her the successful engineer he was. He by no means acts like a father to her.

Max has been afraid of the Hunger Games ever since she was a young child, but not just for herself. She's afraid for her friends and for her neighbor's children as well, whom she plays with and babysits. She doesn't want to be reaped, nor does she wan anyone she knows to be reaped. She's never taken out tessera, but she fears every year thatshe'll hear her name be called on Reaping day.
