Nathalie Avaro (District 4)

Standing at an impressive 5'10", Nathalie is tall and athletic. She has wavy blond hair and strikingly blue eyes.Though she is fit, she isn't too bulky. coming from District 4, she has been well fed. She eats mostly seafood, which she catches herself. Her face is somewhat round but generally attractive, and it matches well with the golden yellow waves of hair that fall around her. Her hair is long, extending to around her midsection.

Nathalie has fairly tanned skin from her days by the ocean, and all of her swimming has kept her in great physical condition. She has one scar on the outside of her right leg from when a fisherman accidentally fired a harpoon. Luckily, the harpoon only grazed her leg, but the scar will be there for the remainder of her life.

Nathalie does not wear make-up, but allows her freckles and natural beauty shine through. Her face has soft features that allow her large eyes to stand out. Her blue eyes are a medium blue, but they sparkle and shine in a comforting way. Nathalie dresses comfortably, usually wearing light t-shirts and jean shorts in the summer weather, and long-sleeves and jeans in the winter.

Nathalie is charismatic and intelligent. She loves to swim, and she is against the idea of The Hunger Games, although she does not tell anyone this. She is reserved, and does not easily trust others. She only truly trusts her best friend Avalee, who she knows she can rely on. Avalee is 2 years her senior, and Nathalie views her as a big sister. She is a perfectionist, and if she does something wrong she can be irritable. She hates criticism of any kind, and can hold a grudge for a long time. She might not show it, but she dislikes many of her classmates, who train for the chance to enter the Games and kill everyone in sight.

Nathalie has always been a smart girl. She didn't excel in school, however, as she viewed the schooling system as a "brainwashing" by the Capitol. She instead learned about aquatic life with Avalee.

Nathalie is charismatic as well, but also kind and compassionate. She is popular among her classmates and friends, but she is nowhere near being a snob. She leads a single life, however, as she is repulsed by the eagerness shown by the boys in her district to volunteer for TheHunger Games.

Nathalie grew up the daughter of a merchant, the 2nd oldest in the family. Her older brother, Noah, had drowned when he was 10, after he ran away during the viewing of the Hunger Games of the season. His mother is quiet and solemn, and her father a strict supporter of the Capitol. Her little brother, named Daniel, is 12, and Nathalie loves him like she never loved her father.

Nathalie remembers many of the hunger games that have taken place, and with each one she hates the Capitol even more. She is upset by the fact she lives in District 4, where young teens eagerly volunteer and are known as the brutish Careers. Her father constantly attempts to train her to be a tribute; to fulfil the dream that eluded him many years ago. His attempts usually lead to arguments within the family, and Nathalie rarely spends time at her house.

Nathalie learned to swim at age 8, shortly after her brother's tragic death. She loves the water. She has helped local fishermen with their catches since she was 10. A harpooning accident left her with a scar, but otherwise she enjoys life on the sea. She can work a trident, create many fishing traps and nets, and she is accurate with a harpoon.

Nathalie always wears a simple silver locket around her neck. the locket is shaped like a conch, and inside lies the only picture of her older brother she has.
