Satin Quinn//District One

The best way to describe Satin is that she is a glamazon. Standing at five foot ten with a slender, yet curvy body- her physical attributes have always given her an edge over other girls. Blond hair, blue eyes and an All-American girl smile that gives people the impression that she is a wholesome young lady with all the best intentions- it a clear case of appearances being deceiving. Ever since she was a baby her mother groomed her to be desirable, from the way that she batted her lashes to the practiced tug of her lips smiling coyly. Feminine wiles were assets that were to be flaunted and manipulated to get ahead in life.

She is used to the luxury of District One. Being surrounded by so many beautiful things her entire life Satin is used to having the nicest smelling shampoo and conditioner, the softest fabrics against her tanned skin, and other beauty products that are used to enhance her natural beauty. Without them she would be lost really, she is far too content in her cushy lifestyle and that could easily prove to be a if it problem were ever to change.

Satin is a fan of jewelry, most of their money- that isn’t used for the necessities in life- have always gone to luxury items like diamond earrings and sapphire bracelets. Though they are wealthy, they squander that wealth of petty things and it shows. Everything about Satin is flashy. She’s the girl that has all the bells and whistles while sometimes going without the essentials. Fashion far outranks sensibility. Satin is physically appealing, but when it comes to her strength her muscle tone is seriously lacking, hard labor has never been done a single day in her life.

She isn’t the sensible type. Under the impression that she should be praised simply for being attractive- her entire life built upon the notion that it would get her the furthest- Satin hasn’t had much need for any humbling factor in her life. She relies on others to give her what she wants. A social butterfly, Satin makes it a habit to gain attention. She has grown attached to the feeling that it gives her and when she doesn’t have it tends to do outrageous things in order to have what she covets most. The girl is an emotional mess whether she believes it or not- a narcissistic personality that causes her to over look those supposed givens such as right and wrong.

In any given situation, having played into a role that her mother gave her since birth, Satin can never tell whether she is being genuine with a person or simply adapting to what attracts them most. She doesn’t know herself and no manner of soul searching has ever even so much as crossed her mind. Manipulation is a common theme in every relationship that she has, be it friend, foe, family, or lover. The same goal always applies and that is to make herself happy no matter the cost. The thing about that is Satin doesn’t know what it is that truly makes her happy. She clings to her material possessions as though they are the answer but they aren’t.

Internally, her self-esteem is in the dumps. All the attention that she demands from other people is her failed attempt to figure out what really makes her tick. She is cunning when it comes to others and figuring them out but when it comes to self-analysis Satin is clueless. She isn’t very intelligent by any common standards, but she is very people smart. By that it means that Satin can work her way into other people’s hearts and minds and give them what they want most so that, in turn, they will give her what she wants- even if she has no idea what that is yet.

Born to Onyx and Ruby Quinn on a warm spring day, along with her identical twin sister, Sapphire- the pair couldn’t have been happier about the pre-mature notions of greatness that their daughters would soon show. Onyx worked in the diamond business, his jewelry being revered in the Capitol as the name brand to have. It put his career on a high note for the first ten years of Satin’s life. In that time she and her sister were learning all the necessities from their mother. School did have its uses; a practice ground for their wiles, but what would truly pave their way in life was their mother’s wisdom on how to handle people. Being from a Career District the sister’s did train for the Hunger Games with their peers, however neither was as invested in it as they should have been. Satin’s skills lay more with manipulation than it did anything of a physical nature. The only promise she really showed in anything was quickness, she could outrun most people that she had been up against and an agility that made defense her best offense.

She never excelled when it came to school, but her charisma did bring her attention from students and teachers alike. They usually viewed her to be a charming young girl with an angelic quality to her. Such a shame most couldn’t see the horns holding up her halo. Satin and Sapphire were crafty little girls playing mind games with others for their own amusement, challenging each other in order to both have bragging rights and better their skills. Everyone had talents and it seemed that these two sisters were fast mastering the art of manipulation. It pleased their mother, while their father was none the wiser showering the pair, as well as their mother, with every luxury their heart’s desired. The thing about that though was despite a superb reputation and high income the constant take mentality that Onyx’s lovely ladies of the house had- it far outweighed that and debt was piling on.

Some cut backs, as the years went on, where necessary for the Quinn family. However, none of their peers would ever be privy to those circumstances. They still painted the perfect picture of wealth and happiness and until recently it worked for them. When Onyx became ill, some might say from working himself too hard, Satin and her sister were charged with helping bring income into their household. Both sisters were reluctant, even going so far as to throw tantrums. However, desperate times called for desperate actions. Sapphire was hired at a local restaurant as a hostess while Satin took a different approach to earning money. As of lately Satin has been running counterfeit gems for a black market dealer. High risk, high reward.
