Hazel Clender District 2

Hazel is quite short; She is exactly 5'2, and is 110 pounds, even Though she may be short, she uses her height as an advantage, using it as a way to hide and sneak around others. Hazel has dark chesnut hair, which is wavy and goes down her back. She likes to put it up in a ponytail, as she hates it in her eyes.

Her skin is ivory, and smooth, and her cheeks have a slight blush to it. She has a wide forehead, with full lips, and a thin nose. Her face is a heart shape, and her chin is pointy. Her eyes are a dark green, and her eyelashes are long. Though she is short and slender, she has light muscles from training, and they are more prominent on her legs. At her school, she is made fun of for her lack of curves.

She has a tough exterior, which is a reason why she lacks friends, and can be intimadating, despite her size. Hazel also doesn't do much to her appereance, so she is often looked down upon by her schoolmates, for her simplistic choices in her apperance. While she could be pretty, Hazel sees no need in wearing fancy clothes and or make up; no one ever won the Hunger Games by wearing sparkly dresses or caked on make up.

Hazel has a strong, dominant personality; being raised by parents who have always dreamed of representing their district in the Hunger Games, Hazel has become rigid, and somewhat cold and cynical due to all her training at home. She is a perfectionist, and she strives to be the best she can be.

She has a quick wit, and a sharp tongue, and unlashes them when she is tired and or frusterated. She is constantly annoyed by the females in her Districts, as she much prefers Athletic training then hair dyes and make up. She likes to push the limits with people, and enjoys seeing people at their breaking point. While she may have a slight level of selfishness, she does not like to see injustice and intolerance, and isn't one to hold back her tongue.

Hazel's major "flaw" would be her lack of love. She really isn't one for kindness, or affection, so she can seem rather distant, or cold. She also doesn't know how to live without her strict schedule, and often shuts down when things are not as they should be. Again, Hazel is a perfectionists, and she feels the need to be better than everyone. She has had the tendency to act out when she feels threatened, such as when she cut off her classmate's hair after beating her in a race. When she is jealous, she creates a war path.

Hazel is rather discontent with life, and finds that nothing amuses her anymore. Due to her training routine, she feels that the Hunger Games has ruined her life. She still has a slight appreciation for the Games, and she would rather die with honor with die.

Hazel was born to status crazy parents, who have unrelented pride in their District. Her Father is a weapon instructor, while her Mother stays at home. Initially, Hazel's parents were disappointed that they gave birth to a girl, wanting a male who could keep the family name while representing in the Games one day, but learned that they could train a dilligent Hazel just the same.
As a child, Hazel was subjected to a strict diet, as well as a tough exercise regime. In a sadistic way, her parents liked having control of their daughter. They had high hopes for her, believing that they would one day have a champion. While Hazel sometimes envied other girls, who lived a much more cushy life, she strived to make her parents happy, and often trained after school with no complaints. She had been training since the tender age of 6.

Her Father, a skilled weaponsmen himself, trained Hazel in the art of knives, and that is what she is best at. Hazel often thinks of knives as a symbol of herself; Sharp, and to the point.Ever the perfectionist, Hazel has high hopes of joining the Hunger Games, to bring pride to her District, and her much sought after approval from her parents.

In a way, too, Hazel would like some friends, as many are put off by her tough demeanor. Hazel has never had a real childhood, so while she is strong in physical and mental skills, she is lacking very much socially.
