Hi there

Hi there. I’m Audrey Fallow. I’m 18 years old and I live in District one. I attend Panem’s gymnastics academy and have been doing gymnastics since I was 8. As you’ve probably figured out, I’m also a girl.

Strength and Grace

I’m flexible, like really, really flexible. I can easily bend myself into a pretzel and am comfortable as a pretzel. It comes from almost ten years of gymnastics and lots of practice. My arms are very strong and quite long, Perfect for spinning on the bar and ribbon climbing although some would have you believe that ribbon climbing is easy, it’s really not. My torso is fairly slim, with a few nice curves that grew in as I grew up. Some of the guy gymnasts seem to like checking me out because I’m one of the few girls with curves in the academy. I love my curves, they make me who I am. My legs are long and strong, perfect for balance beam and trampoline. I hate my feet though because they’re kind of curled for some reason that I’m not sure of. When I do trampoline, I often wear skin colored indoor slippers to hide them. I’m allowed to because the coach understands my insecurities about my feet. I’m thinking that when I get older, I may go to the Capitol and get them surgically altered so that they’ll be normal. My hands are calloused and the palms are hard from the number of blisters I’ve gotten from the bar. I don’t mind, it means that I won’t get cracked hands that my mom seems prone to. She always has to use lotion If I used lotion, I could slip and seriously hurt myself while doing gymnastics.

Stare me in the face

If someone were to look me in the eye, they would not be quite able to decide what color they were. They seem to shift depending on my mood. Sometimes they’re gray, other times they’re blue, and other times they’re green. My eyes are almond shaped and sit underneath my high forehead. I don’t look great with my hair tied back because it shows off my large forehead. My hair, in dim light, brown but as soon as the gyms lights hit it, it becomes a brown color with streaks of blonde in it. I have the notorious freaking ponytail bump that I can never get rid of no matter how many times I try to straighten it. Naturally, my hair is straight but having it in a bun/ponytail makes it curly. My mouth is kind of thin with a little bit of color but not too much. My cheeks, because I have curves, are somewhat plump with a bit of coloring to them, on top of my skins lightly tanned color which comes from my family. Even though I’m rarely out in the sun, my skin is still tanned, is that weird or what? Anyways, my chin isn’t really remarkable, it’s fairly ordinary and compliments the end of my face.

I look out of place

Because I am a gymnast, I often wear my practice outfit, a black leotard that doesn’t leave much to the imagination. I used to feel insecure about myself whenever I wore it but then I realized that that was what all the girls in gymnastics wore. I grew to love my black leotard and now pretty much live in it. Whenever I compete, however, I wear a white and green leotard that has sequins stitched into it, the beautiful craftsmanship of the people in district 8. Whenever I’m not practicing, I can be found bumming around in sweat pants and a tank top, unless it’s cold, then I’ll wear a long sleeve t-shirt. My shoes are usually simple slippers or flats, although, during warm up when I have to run, I will wear running shoes duh!. If I really feel like dressing up, I will wear a skirt or dress which really shows off my legs but I will never Ever wear flip flops. I hate them with a passion because I can’t wear them with my stupid toes. One day I will be able to wear flip flops I swear. For now though, I’m fine with just wearing my slippers and flats

If I set the pace

I have a lot of endurance. I can run for long distances and I can go for quite a long time without stopping. I suck at sprinting though. One would think that with my build, I’d be a better sprinter but unfortunately, no. I’ve been bad at sprinting my whole life for god only knows why. I envy those who can though. Because I am a gymnast, I am also an excellent swimmer, working out in the academy’s indoor pool because it helps to build strength without putting too much strain on my body.

I’m quiet and shy

Despite everything, I am one of the quietest people you will ever meet. I am a good listener and I like performing but doing gymnastics doesn’t require me to talk to people or say anything. I can just perform in silence and do well. In my off times, I enjoy reading and figuring out how the body works, the physics behind the stunts I do. Whenever I practice, equations will run through my head as I try to figure out exactly how fast I’m moving and the force of gravity on my body which can hinder my ability to perform. Often, while on the balance beam, I work hard to figure out exactly what I need to do to keep my performance perfect and not get injured, I’ve been injured before, it sucks when your passion is for gymnastics. When I’m with people I know, I will open up but there are few people I ever open up to. One of them is my Aunt Valerie who is like a mother to me. My mother and I have never really been close because she never wanted me to be a gymnast, she thought it was too dangerous and if I hurt myself, I get lectured on how she was right about it being really dangerous. Really mom. Anyways, that’s not what this part is about, It’s about my personality, History will come later, I promise.

I’ll never tell a lie

One thing I pride myself on above all else is my honesty. I’ve never told a lie to anyone except maybe to myself but we all lie to ourselves at some point in our lives. I tell my friends exactly what I think and that is why they all trust me. I won’t tell them what I think they want to hear and I won’t tell them they look good if I think they don’t. I love my friends, even if some are a little too competitive for their own good and would do anything for them if it didn’t involve having to lie.

Sometimes I can fly

I’m a very laid back person who can go with the flow most of the time. I’m flexible both literally and figuratively.
