A tricky thing

Appearance
Shh, keep your voice down or they'll hear you. I'm Haysel by the way, just so you know, a wanderer on the run from the Capitol. This is going to have to be quick, I can't stay in one place for long or else they might find me and make me an avox, I don't want that. Alright, I'll tell you what I look like even though I might get caught if I speak too loudly. I'll start with my hair. I have pretty brownish red hair that falls just below my shoulders and is cut in layers. The shorter layers flick out gracefully while the longer layers hang with a slight curl at the end of them. Sometimes if I can afford to stop in one of the richer districts, I will straighten it after I wash it. Although this is very rare because I can only stay in the districts long enough to get what I need, then I have to get out so that I'm not recognized.
My face is slightly long with rosy cheeks and a slender chin. My eyebrows are light brown and quite thin. They are often raised in fear because I am quite jumpy, although I'm pretty sure you understand why. My eyes are a pretty hazel color with gray, blue, and brown all mixed in for a very pretty combination. They are almond shaped with thick eyelashes shielding them much of the time. I love my eyes because I can convey a lot of emotions without saying anything. My nose, I think, is the most average thing in the world. Its slightly round and the bridge of it has a bump from when I accidentally walked into a wall when I was 5. My face is a little tanned from all the time I've spent on the run but other than that its pretty much clear of any acne. I've made it a point to take good care of my appearance even when I'm on the run, you never know who you will meet.
I have very ordinary looking lips which are only a few shades darker than the rest of my skin. Although I rarely smile, a few people have seen it and they tell me it's stunning. The teeth I have are white and perfect because I've made a point in keeping them healthy because I hate bad breath. Oh shoot, I forgot to keep my voice down, sorry. I'll be quieter now.
You are probably wondering what the rest of me looks like, okay, I've spent enough time on my face. I'll move on to my body. My neck is slender and leads into slim shoulders that are slightly rounded from carrying a backpack around almost all the time. My arms are long and lean from walking so much, as well I'm almost always hungry. Sorry, off topic. My mid-section is quite flat from all the wandering I've done over the years. If I stop in one of the districts for the day or two, then I might gain a little bit of fat but it never lasts long. My chest is mostly flat because I haven't had any excess fat to give me anything up there. The story is the same for my hips which are tiny compared to a lot of girls my age. My legs are quite strong, of course they have to be in order to keep me going all day long, although my feet are surprisingly small, I wonder why. Anyways, standing straight I reach about 6' tall and without any excess fat, I weigh about 150lbs. I guess thats about it for my appearance now I need to run, I've been in this place for two long and it will be too soon that they find me here talking to you. [/size]
In backyards
winning battles with our wooden swords
but now we've stepped into a
cruel world

Personality
Whaa! Oh, it's you. You scared the bejesus out of me. I thought you were a peace keeper or something. Don't do that to me again please. Oh, you weren't done with my interview yet? Oh sorry, I had to leave because otherwise I would have been caught. You want to know what I'm like? Okay but I have to make it quick because they are hot on my trail. As you've already found out, I'm easily scared. Being on the run for close to two years will do that to you. I'm very alert and will flee if I hear any hint of danger or pursuit. You were lucky to even catch up to me. When it comes to other people, I avoid them at all cost because I can't trust that someone won't tell the peace keepers where I am. I'm also very secretive, especially when I stop in the districts. Don't want anyone knowing who I am right? Anyways, I'm a naturally quiet person, I think it's probably from all the hiding I've been doing these last two years. Wait, shh. I hear something. Stay down. Okay its clear, it was just a rabbit. Phew that was close. I have to be very cautious when it comes to these things, peace keepers could be anywhere.
As you've seen, I am very cautious and I have good reason to be. I always check before venturing out into any open ground. This includes checking the surrounding, looking up, and scanning for any suspicious activity. If everything is clear, I will venture out but I will be sure to sprint to the safety of the trees. I'm always watching my back for any signs of pursuit and I'm a master and throwing off anyone trying to catch me. They haven't caught me and I don't plan on them catching me anytime soon.
When it comes to my other traits, I have a few flaws that I don't like to talk about but if you insist, I will. First, I am terrified of open spaces, they make me feel exposed and vulnerable, a feeling that I don't like. Another is I'm afraid of heights. I don't like cliffs, climbing trees, or anything else that involves being high above the ground. I get a sick feeling in my stomach and, if I'm high enough above the ground, I sometimes black out from fear. On another note, I have a few good traits that have helped me survive. One of them is that I'm very resourceful and will use whatever is readily availible to me, whether its wood or grass or snow or even rocks. I can easily use my surroundings to my advantage. Another is that I know how to find food. I can hunt and set traps that will catch me enough food to last for a while. I guess that's all there really is to me. You have another question? Okay, but come along with me because I have to run now.[/size]

History
Okay, I think we're far enough away to stop and continue our interview. You wanted to know about my history, correct? Okay. I grew up in district five with my mother, Neera, and my older brother, Robbi. We weren't the poorest people in the district but we weren't the richest either. My mother worked in the power plant as did my brother so they were often tired and iritable when they came home. Often, there would be a big fight between the three of us and I would usually end up running out of the house crying. They didn't seem to really care enough to come looking for me and over time my resentment for them grew. When I was 13 I decided that I wanted to run away and slowly began preparing. I taught myself all about different plants and berries as well as how to hunt and make snares. I even caught a few things in my first few tries. I let them go of course because it was illegal to hunt in our district but the snares gave me hope that I might actually be able to survive.
I also began trading at the market for goods that I would need like clothes, a backpack, some shampoo, conditioner, food, water, and other supplies. My mom and my brother were too busy arguing to take any notice of me. During this time, my resentment and my lonelyness grew until I was unable to stand it any longer. That was when I left district five and never went back out of fear of being recognized. So you see, thats why I'm out here.
You're giving me a quizzical look as if to ask where I'm going. I'll tell you. When I was younger, my dad left the district. He was heading for district 13 and my goal is to join him and live the rest of my life in district 13 without fearing the games or the Capitol. I've been following a map that my dad gave me when I was about 6 and it shows all the districts including where district thirteen is located. I guess thats all there really is to tell you about my history. If I were you, I would get out of here fast and stay unspotted by the peace keepers. Thank you for interviewing me and good luck.[/size]
