Rainbow Deaton ; D2

Rainbow is not the norm for average people, but seeing as how she is from a Career district, another social standard is acceptable. Just one look at the girl will give the impression of "wannabe Capitol girl." Her fashion sense is only acceptable by Capitol standards, after all.

On her head she wears (as there is no simply "having" the hair she "has") a bright, bold mass of curls. It is colored so bright a red that there is no doubt it's not natural. Its unsurprisingly frizz-free curls are also doubtlessly unnatural. She obviously spends a good hour or two in the morning preening it to her perfection.

Below that is her face, of course, which shockingly enough is not surgically altered in any way. She has small, muddy green eyes and dark brown eyebrows. Her nose is round, her lips average. Her skin is awfully pale, and often her peers in Career training mock her for it. She has a few freckles (that in the wrong light have the appearance of hideous healing scabs) across her cheeks that she deems quite sinful. Unfortunately her mother bans all surgical horrors done to her body.

Her body, while short at 5', overall continues to give a Capitol-like impression (along with that antisocial paleness.) She is quite a curvy gal, to put it nicely. But to put it straight, her face is round, her arms jiggly, her thighs large, and the rest of her body big to go with them. Of course, this puts a damper on what her mother would like to be the perfect Peacekeeping body. She's not muscular under that fat, and she can't run for very long at all because of her weight. Her stamina and physical capabilities are shot, though Career training is trying and failing to change this.

And to help with her weight, she is also lazy. Unmotivated. She dislikes having to do much of anything, as being a career she never had to do too much herself. She despises getting up in the morning and would rather lie in bed until bedtime again. She can never have enough sleep, and this can sometimes lead to constant yawning, drowsiness, and irritability. The irritability is the most prominent and public-endangering of the three, of course.

Though she is known to be angered in some way all of the time. Her general unsatisfaction with the world and her irritability is attributed to her being a spoiled brat of a teenager - even for a career. Her mother is to blame, and Rainbow doesn't mind at all. She has become conceited, stuck-up, and haughty as her mother lavished affection and attention on her only daughter. The redhead eats it up eagerly, and to the horror of the people around her, expects the same kind of treatment from them.

And because of this domineering and sometimes overbearing attitude, she doesn't have many people to call friends. Most are scared away, or disgusted, by her lack of care for them and people in general. Rainbow of course, being a human being and having human feelings, is often hurt by the lack of even polite conversation around her. However, being the unmotivated wench she is, she is not likely to (attempt to) change her personality to gain some friends. But she might enjoy someone to have witty banter with. Of course, that'd likely be the only conversation they would have, seeing as how without normal human interaction she would be quite awkward and socially irreparable.

Let's say two people in District 2 meet and fall in love. One of them is male, burly, large, and quite the serious man. The other is female, small, terrifying in a motherly way, yet easygoing. They marry, sign the forms, and are suddenly Mr. and Mrs. Deaton. Couples do what they do and Rainbow is suddenly growing inside a warm belly. And while that happens, Mr. Deaton, a Peacekeeper - because what else would a strong and scary man from District 2 be? - is sent to another District for his job. Mrs. Deaton is left in her home because suddenly moving a pregnant woman is bad press.

Of course, this makes Mrs. Deaton very sad in his absence, but at least she is comfortable with her growing little girl. That is, until, as that important little date is growing ever closer, she gets a letter. In that letter, Mr. Deaton has been murdered on the job and the killer is going to be executed. Of course, Mrs. Deaton is broken down to tears from this simple, factually heartbreaking letter.

But she recovered eventually, as Rainbow grew. She never cried in front of her little girl, and she did her best to hide any sort of emotion for man Rainbow never got to call father. Because of this outward lack of care for the man, she helped herself to forget and helped her daughter to not care for the man at all. Neither of them would know the joys of a father, and therefore neither of them would be hurt from not having him. And because her child now didn't have a father, Mrs. Deaton felt the obligation to give Rainbow twice the amount of love, care, and willingness to let her do what she wants so she isn't plagued by the harshness of adulthood so quickly (as her father would have liked.)

Mrs. Deaton settled into the life of a nurse, seeing as how long hours in the mines were not an option for a new mother. She was paid well by her well paid clients (injured miners and beat-up Peacekeepers). While she was away, her friendly elderly neighbor watched over Rainbow, but didn't really do much to control the young child. This lack of control was made worse by Mrs. Deaton's own easygoing nature, believing her daughter was only expressing herself and nothing was to be changed.

This turned Rainbow into the selfish, attention-seeking monster she is (see Personality). This also contributed to her lazy nature, which was simply disastrous when her mother tried to force her into Career training for the Hunger Games which could very well take her baby away from her. Rainbow hissed and spit and screamed and through her devilish actions managed to slip away from the training for a few years. But since her mother could hiss and spit and scream as well, Rainbow eventually obliged in fear of her terrifying-in-a-motherly-way mother. Of course, it has done little to help with her attitude, weight, or chance of surviving should the girl be reaped.

I did indeed let her borrow my first name. I don't care what you say about it.
