Kade Ardeen, District 4

Kade has wild black hair, down to her jaw if wet but it has a tendency to stick up. She frequently slicks it back, though a few strands find a way to fall over her green eyes. Her eyebrows are low and her eyes a bit sunk in but big. She has a small scar over the outer tip of her left eyebrow. Her nose is upturned and seems to have been broken before. It's also a bit big for her face. Her lips are thin and wide, cracked and dry most of the time. There is a deep scar on her lower lip, to the right. Her jaw is square and her forehead is a bit flat and juts at her eyebrows.

Kade is very tall and bulky, at 6'3 feet of height and weighing 186 pounds of mostly muscle. Her skin is very tan and she has faint freckles over her face and shoulders. Her hands are scarred and rough. Her legs are long and evidently muscular. She usually wears ragged shorts and muscle shirts, and prefers to walk barefoot.

Kade is generally friendly if a bit abrasive. She generally keeps to herself, not liking to show what's on her mind. She excels at talking to younger kids. She loves conflict and it's very easy to get on her bad side. It's generally impossible to get to know her easily.

She has a bad tendency to trust people she likes too much, to the point of letting herself get pushed around. She tries her best to make her friends happy and takes it out on herself when it fails. If she likes you, you'll have trouble shutting her up. She's very dedicated to her family, even if her relationship with her oldest brother is strained. Despite her love of competition and fighting, she doesn't take defeat well. She has a tendency to carry grudges and is very stubborn.

She's fairly impulsive and frequently picks fights with those she dislikes. It has given her a bad reputation within her district. She regrets the effect is has on her family but refuses to admit any fault on her part. Despite this, she's a hard worker and tries to help everyone she knows. Her loyalty often leads to her getting hurt by those who take advantage of her.

Her mother died while giving birth to Kade's youngest sibling and her father is frenquently away on the longer fishing trips so she was mostly raised by her older brothers. Despite this, she had a fairly happy and stable childhood. She is the middle child out of 5. Her brother Henrick is 25 and the default head of the household while their father is gone. He works as a carpenter, specializing in boats. Her other siblings are Michel, 20, Joe, 11, and Katrina, 7 and the only other girl.

She had a normal childhood, spending her days after school with Michel, fishing and swimming. She had a bit of a temper as a child but wasn't much of a fighter. Being the middle child meant she knew from an early age how to get along with others. When she was nine and her mother died, she began to take on more responsibility around the house. She was already bulky and agile so she was pressured into becoming a Career.

She hated everything about Career training and especially hated her glory hogging colleagues, eventually withdrawing and learning to defend herself with words and fists. She spent more time outside of the house, especially on the beach far away from her house. She resented her older brothers for pressuring her into becoming a Career and became more distant from them. Those who weren't being trained didn't want to mess with the Careers so it was very hard for her to make friends. Even those she already had distanced themselves and she doesn't want anything to do with them either.
