Arella Iona, District 2 (finished)

Everything about Arella seems plain, except for her blue eyes. They're bright orbs that shine in the light and bring her to life. They're the color of a clear ocean in the tropics at the center, but slowly fade out to the sky on a cloudless day. Her eyes pull you in like a magnet and make her worth a second glance. They make everything else about her boring in comparison. They're almond shaped framed by long dark lashes that give her the appearance of a puppy; innocent and able to harm no one. Her eyebrows are a touchy subject. One is brown and the other blonde making it seem like she only has one. Her nose is thin and her cheek bones high, both dotted with light freckles. Arella's lips are a rosy pink and not too thin but proportionate with the rest of her face. She has a small scar just one shade lighter than the rest of her skin that goes from the outer corner of her right eyebrow to the outer corner of her right eye. Arella has dirty blonde hair, thin and slightly wavy to her shoulder blades. It bounces when she walks and tends to fall in her face, which she hates.

Arella is small. She's petite, being only 5' and 100 lbs. She doesn't like to be called short or small though it's quite obvious she is. Her figure helps her climb so she really has no room to complain. She is very thin and doesn't have much for curves. Arella has a birthmark on her stomach she likes to think is shaped like a bird and rests just bellow her bellybutton; she's an inny. Arella is aware her eyes are pretty, but she's very modest about it and doesn't recognize herself as good looking. Arella usually wears jeans and a loose fitting shirt. Her clothes are usually floral or pink; she's a girly girl. Her clothes aren't very training appropriate, but she's always wearing her brown boots wherever she goes.

Arella doesn't like to hurt people. She only wants everyone around her to be happy, even if it means compromising her own happiness. She is very modest about everything and will never take a compliment. She is overly trusting and too forgiving which sometimes gets her into trouble. She is friendly and easy to get along with, always finding the good in even the worst people. It takes a lot to make her angry and she has a lot of patience.

Arella tries to remain positive even in the worst times and wants to cheer everyone up which can get annoying. She doesn't like to be sad or just the thought of being sad and attempts to cover up when she is feeling down, but she is a horrible liar. She likes to have fun whenever she can and whenever she does something wrong, you can tell by the innocent smile on her face. Arella knows she looks innocent and uses that to her advantage, because she doesn't like when things don't go her way. She is very stubborn and when she wants something; usually for someone else; she won't stop until she gets it.

Though Arella doesn't have the best home life she tries to push that out of her mind when out of the house. She doesn't like others to worry about her so she covers her scars and she hates when people think because of her size she's fragile. She hates the phrase 'you don't want to know' because she thinks it means you're afraid to hurt her. Her feelings usually don't matter to her and she has a very guilty conscience. Even when something isn't her fault she automatically thinks it is, and wants to fix it. Arella is pretty much a kind hearted person who always has the interests of others before her own, just like her mother.

Arella was born to a normal family of four. Her mother; Lily was kind and gentle and Arella takes mostly after her. Her father was the same, and her brother Lev; older than her by eight years; was normal. Arella trained when she was young with a sling shot (she always keeps one in her boot), but now she uses a bow. She's quite skilled, but of course she doesn't like to think so.

When Arella turned ten; the night of her birthday; her mother and father were taken away and she doesn't know why. She hasn't seen them since, and that night Lev started drinking. Lev's drinking caused him to get violet and because he had no one to blame for his parent's disappearance he blames Arella. Lev beats her and there is nothing she can do about it but take the punishment. Lev curses at her frequently so she has grown to hate it, almost to the point where she fears other people who curse at her.

Arella now tries to get away in the trees. She is an excellent climber, and she feels safe up in the branches. Arella isn't an average career, though she can handle herself with a knife, sling shot, and bow. She doesn't like violence and this is due to her mothers kind nature. Arella's scar on her eye is from a shard of glass her brother tried to harm her with one night when he was really intoxicated.

Arella has a doll named Lucy that her mother gave her for her tenth birthday along with a book she doesn't read because Arella despises reading. Arella is an excellent singer, but she doesn't like admitting that to people.
