Alouette Dunsmore District 4

Alouette is quite tall. Unusually tall, in fact for her family. She towers over her 4'9" to 5'1" family at 5'8". She is thin and willowy, weighing only one hundred nineteen pounds. Her skin is smooth and very pale, despite a lifelong exposure to the sun.

Her hair is naturally brunette, and she does not dye it like a lot of her peers. Her hair is mid-back length, and straight to wavy, depending on how she styles it. Alouette's eyes are a light brown, and very intense. They almost never stop moving and looking around.

She has a very sweet, attractive face that draws the eye. She almost always has an intense, predatory look on her face. It can be intimidating in person, so people often avoid her.

She wears clothing very unusual to her culture. Instead of bright colors and clean cuts, she tends to wear pastel, flowing, feminine cuts that compliment her curvaceous figure.

Despite the loveliness of her face, her body is spattered with scars from multiple training wounds. She remembers exactly how she got each one, and hates them. They remind her of her weaknesses. She also has a few stretch marks on her hips from when she went through puberty. It hit her hard.

Alouette is not quite right in the head. She is malicious, spiteful, and almost vicious. She dislikes almost everyone for some reason or another.

She does not easily begin to love, or even like, someone because she is always looking for flaws and weaknesses. Anything that is easy to attack. She admires strength and power, and finds weakness abhorrent. Nothing appeals to her about a weak person. She does not find them cute, or even pitiable. She sees them only as a disease to be snuffed out.

She does have an extreme sense of loyalty to those she finds worthy. It is almost her only admirable trait. She also is honest. Often brutally so. The need to lie is a sign of weakness to her. A powerful person does not need to lie because they have nothing to fear. She often has delusions of herself as a Goddess, and why would a Goddess need to appease the swine she oversees? They should all fear her, and fall at her feet, the disgusting peasants.

She does not feel love for anyone, especially not her family. She never falls for any men or women, though she occasionally finds some of them desirable, and will take a consort for a short while, until she disposes of them.

She does not ever feel the emotions of adoration, fear, or guilt. She has no need for these emotions, and any trace of them was snuffed out long ago. She only uses her body and fake outward emotions to manipulate people into doing her bidding. It isn't that she doesn't understand human emotions, it's just that she has no need for them, and therefore is instead cool and calculating, using her wiles to get what she wants.

From the day she was born, Alouette's purpose in life was one thing. To volunteer for and win the Hunger Games. Her parents had her trained nearly every day. She learned how to use many different weapons, but was especially gifted with the simple dagger. She liked how she could feel the flesh sliding over the blade, and the warm blood running over her fingers. The first training accident really was an accident. But soon, she was so addicted to the thrill of holding someone's life in her hands that the accidents happened more and more often. By the time she was 11, she had "accidentally" killed 6 of her instructors. And no one questioned it because of her sweet, pretty face, and the fact that everyone was so convinced that she would be the one to win the Hunger Games the year she was to volunteer.

Her Goddess illusions began when she was 16. On top of being deadly, and incredibly cunning, her developing body attracted a host of male admirers that showered her with gifts and compliments. While she didn't need the compliments, she liked to see them crawling along behind her, panting and begging for attention like a mangy dog. She felt beautiful, and more powerful than ever.

Just three weeks before she was supposed to volunteer in the Reaping, she was training for climbing, her only weak spot, when a limb on the pine she was scaling broke under her, and she fell 32 feet to the ground.

She fell into a coma that she didn't come out of, even after the healers fixed all of her injuries. It was two months after the games ended that she woke. A very young, beloved 12 year old girl had been called, and Alouette had not been there to volunteer for her. She hadn't lasted two minutes in the arena. Of course, Alouette didn't care about the girl, but what she did care about was the glory she had lost out on when she missed the reaping. Her purpose in life had gone unfulfilled.

She now lives in District 4, swindling, tricking, and seducing her way to the top. She hopes to eventually marry a rich man who will support her for the rest of his life, and then after his "mysterious" death. She wants to have a child, and raise it as a Career. Perhaps even more than one.

I usually do a version of myself for my first character on a site, but I decided to try something different this time.

Her FC is Alina Gladsome.
