D1 // Rowena Merlot | Finished |

Rowena stands at five foot six, and weighs about one hundred and ten pounds, with a slim build, and a shaped face that curves into a feminine chin. Her features could be considered beautiful by some, but she usually thinks of herself as looking the same as any other girl. Her eyes are a deep blue, like pools of water, and contrast with her dirty blonde hair, that sits gently in two separate bangs running down the side of her face. The rest of hair hair, flowing like silk down to her shoulders, and slightly lower. Her thin eyebrows match her hair color, and her lips are a deep pink, concealing white teeth, almost perfectly aligned.

If Ena was to be distinguished in a crowd, it would be by her hair, it has some bleach blonde highlights in it, through rigorous hours of training in the blistering heat. Her hands are a common size, smooth, but rough in some places, and her arms are slightly muscled from training in her district. Her complexion is smooth with the benefits of youth. Her legs are long, and curvacious, with round thighs slowly getting smaller as it reaches her shins. Her waist curves in like an hourglass shape leading up to her torso and chest. Her breasts are of normal size for a girl her age, being mid-pubescent. And her shoulders are small and curve in nicely to her neck.

She frequently dresses in khaki shorts, with brown workboots and a white stained tanktop, keeping her cool during the hot work hours. Her hair is tied up when she is out, but she sometimes has it down. Her clothing for the reaping consists of a smart dress, high heels, and hair worn down and washed thoroughly.

"I'm the best, I always will be the best..."

Describing Rowena as narcissistic would be an understatement, and a half. Her entire life 'Ena' has though highly of herself, and never seen anyone higher than her except for the victors from her district, and her late father. Being the daughter of a peacekeeper, Rowena never starved, even in a place as rich as District One, this flushed all worries away, making Erin feel even more superior to those who didn't have it as good as her.

Her general outlook on others is based solely on how much they think of themselves, she generally acquaints herself with those of bold personas and those who show good skill. Her hardy attitude makes her very forthright about pretty much anything, she is a frequent of black humor also, finding comedy in the deaths of others. If one was to describe her opinion of the games, it would be her goal. She is planning to volunteer when the next games come as a career tribute.

Erin idolizes past winners, seeing them as almost almighty, godlike. Her general interest in the death of her enemies make her a tough foe. She has never given up on anything, and her workout regime is rigorous. Although advised to wait until she is eighteen, but has shown in the past to not be one who follows rules, and plans to volunteer now, at the age of fifteen. Her almost fetish like love for success and victory, comes from her upbringing. Although seen as almost fearless, Rowena fears death and is only taking a positive approach to the games because it is the way she has been brought up.

Not the smoothest of births, those words escaped the doctor's mouths after fourty seven hours of labor leading up to the birth of a fit and healthy baby girl. A proud father and exhausted mother, and a month or two after that. Rowena's future was chosen on her behalf by her father, a peacekeeper, and elitist. He visioned her triumphing over the other tributes in an arena known as "The Hunger Games.", her father smiled down at her, and her future was forged by two parents, who visioned their name in lights, along with their child's. A name was decided soon after, Rowena.

"You're the best... and always will be the best Rowena.."

Being an infant, Rowena was filled with, almost brainwashed, with the words "You're the best.", and with that, her venomous attitude, and constant "I am the Best." outlook on life became her distinguishing trait. Other children begged to be friends with her due to her ability to keep bullies at bay. But it wasn't until she eight years old that her skills where truly shown in the practice arena, when she fought with others, her prowess in unarmed, and wooden sword based fighting proved to be uncanny, tactical, and ruthless. Her usual confident and somewhat friendly attitude was clouded by a streak of rage and anger, in which she became a ruthless, merciless and harsh competitor.

Her father loved it, when he could see her, he had to sneak past other keepers to see her, and her birth was secret. Her power hungry, elitist and narcissistic attitude. This prompted him to constantly spend his paychecks on her training, conditioning her into a machine of types, no breaks, just training. But by the time she had passed fourteen, she didn't have the funding anymore. Her father had died in an incident involving the accidental death of a capitol official, her father was blamed for this, and was sentenced to death, crying and pleading for his life. This caused Rowena to care almost nothing for his death, seeing him as weak, and scared in the face of death, even though she herself fears death. Her mother has done her best to care for them on the money left over, although the money is not officially hers, as her mother and father where never married, and he simply was "seeing her" and Rowena, "Happened". Rowena has taken to spending her days hanging around with friends, and training her use of a spear, and bow.
