Cherish Kennedy, District 4 (modified again)

Cherish is moderately tall, reaching 5' 8". She is skinny with relatively tan skin. Her hair is a pleasant medium brown, VERY long, and thick. It comes down to the back of her knees. She has an oval-ish face and her eyes are brown. Her nose is somewhat pointed, her eyes a bit closer to the bridge of her nose than some. She sometimes gets dry skin and often has moderate acne. Her face is a bit thin for some's liking.

She has a very sweet, likeable face. Being from District 4, she has access to some of the better clothes. She likes jean skirts, being attracted to blue, dark preferably. She often wears her hair in a braid or a bun on the side of her head, but loves to wear it down. Her hair is arguably her most distinguishing features.

Cherish is quite athletic, she runs and she loves to swim. She has a gorgeously toned body, and let's just say it throws many looks her way. She is what people call an "early bloomer."

Cherish is a nice person, always talking. She has many friends at school, and is always talking. Sometimes her talkativity (is that even a word?) gets to her, and she is often in trouble in class because of it. When you meet Cherish in public, she is nice and funny, but you had better watch what you say to her. She is also something of a flirt. She loves to go home and read about the other Districts of Panem, from what little info is available about them.

Cherish is very sensitive, and many people recieve the cold shoulder. She is also judgemental, not to be mean, but because she wonders why people do what they do. She is shy toward people she doesn't know, but is happy to make new friends. Cherish loves to hang out with people her own age, preferably people with whom she can open up to. She is receptive, and always open to new ideas, but is willing to combat them and take it to the grave if she must. She also gets into a few physical confrontation when something rubs her the wrong way.

Cherish is also very trusting. She is gullible and will fall for a lot. This could be a danger to her in the Games. And once she sets her mind to something, it's hard to keep her off of it. You could say she's stubborn and persistent to the point of annoyance.

Cherish was born on a cool, breezy November day. She is the daughter of a merchant woman whose father sells clothes and rugs and such, and her father is a diver, one of the ones they trust to gather hundreds of clams and mussels per day. Being the spawn of these two, coupled with being from District 4, she has been relatively wealthy. She has never experienced starvation or boredom. Her father often brings her home pearls and things which she makes into jewelry and stuff.
She is quite good at it, and sells the pieces for money. She uses the money for whatever her devious little heart desires. *creepy laugh*
The August before her 9th Birthday, her mom had Kara, her seven year old sister. Sterling is her seventen year old brother, also eligible for the reaping. Her dad would always take her out' exploring the water. He would show her different kinds of fish and plants and things, and sometimes they would catch and sneak home a tuna. She loves school, but tends to have a bad grade in history. She just doesn't like it. She recently got a job as a fisher, designed to handle the shrimp and things. She can't always show up because of training, however.

Cherish is good at training. She attends the academy near her house, and excels at hand to hand combat and axes. She is also okay with a sword, but she really likes to throw axes. She also helps her sister and her brother helps her, and they all have fun with it.
Cherish's hair tends to get in her way, but she is stubborn and won't cut it. Her mom has recently cut her hair down to a pleasant length at her shoulders. Cherish's current goals are to win the Games should she be reaped and to bring honor to her family.
