teal wrenslee / D10 [WIP]

TEAL asher Wrenslee

appearance::

While her mother is fair, petite and has red hair, Teal decidedly took after her father in appearance, something that simply seems to speak District 10 upon first glance. At 16 she has already outgrown her mother, standing at a clean 6 feet. Her medium-tone skin, brown hair and eyes is a far cry from her mother's pale complexion and auburn hair.

Perhaps Teal is the first to say she's nothing special. Her dress is modest and practical, and fashion is rarely considered. More often than not her long hair is up in a messy ponytail or covered by a full-brimmed hat.

personality::

blablabla

Teal doesn't know how to sew a dress, or how to put on make-up or act demure. What a waste of time, when there's fences to be mended and animals that need worming and feeding and healing. It's a pretty difficult task to maintain the Wrenslee ranch between a mother and daughter, but when there's work to be done Teal puts her head down and does it.

She's not assertive, but she's not a pushover either. Teal is steadily gaining more responsibility for the farm as she approaches adulthood, and isn't afraid to throw in a radical change if need be. She is quiet at school and retains a fairly average grade; her effort in academics is rather low as she believes most of her important lessons in life has come from her mother or were self-taught. blabla insert more stuffs here

history::

Back when Teal's mother was a child, the Wrenslee farm used to be one of the more prestigious ranches in District 10. Natasha was the second-youngest of five children, with her brother Vincent set to inherit the ranch which included horses, meat cattle, sheep and goats. She was expected to marry another inheritor from a surrounding farm, an ideal Natasha vehemently opposed. She hated the idea of simply being some sort of breeding stock sent off to a nearby property, and her fiery nature made her rather unapproachable. While her objections were considered, Natasha was taught little of farm work, usually working indoors being trained as a house wife.

It was a disaster when sickness spread through the family, killing her parents and her two brothers leaving only Natasha and her younger sister Bee responsible for the farm. However, Bee had no interest in continuing the family ranch and couldn't stand staying in the place where almost all her family had died, fleeing the farm and leaving Natasha with no means of contact. Despite District 10 having a fairly small population, Natasha has not seen Bee and long since gave up looking for her. The nineteen-year old attempted to continue Wrenslee farm on her own, having to learn many things the hard way and living in near-poverty conditions in order to keep the farm running.

Despite Natasha's hard work the farm soon dwindled, and she was forced to sell her stock of cattle and sheep. Though she occasionally received help from kindly neighbors debts quickly stacked up, and the ranch's outlook was bleak. Natasha had to resort to sleeping with a Peacekeeper to avoid being evicted. blablabla inset more stuffs here

The equine industry in District 10 was immensely competitive, so Teal was expected to help as soon as she could walk. Wrenslee certainly isn't back to it's former glory, but it's steadily improved as Teal grows older and becomes more efficient in running the farm with her mother.
