Aurelia Macon - D4 {done}

Name: Aurelia Macon
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 4
Appearance:

I hate describing myself. I have golden blonde hair that falls down past my shoulders, and brown eyes that I wish were more ...something. Sexy, maybe. Sometimes I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror and I look like a lost puppy, if I'm not paying attention to what my eyes are doing. My nose and face are an ordinary nose and face, my lips are pretty good, full and all. I'm kind of tall, 5'9", and I'm curvy and nicely built.

I look like a hundred other girls, and yet I'm satisfied with it, since this is also the only 'me' I have, even if they grow them much prettier in the Capitol. I tend to dress casually, just jeans or cut-offs and a t-shirt with usually a longer sleeved shirt over it, and boots or flip-flops. At least, that's how I dress when I have a choice, at the Academy for class I wear the uniform, and for training, I wear exercise gear or a leotard and tights.

Personality:

First of all, and this is ever so ironic since I live in District 4, I hate, loathe, absolutely abominate the smell of raw fish. Literally, it would make me want to puke if I wasn't so used to it. I want to live in the Capitol and never smell fish again. I am really quite shy, though I force myself constantly to overcome that and not show it, it's embarrassing. I'm also an introvert, which I also force myself past. I am, I guess, not very comfortable being me a lot of the time.

As far as good qualities go, I am hard to upset, and I dedicate myself to whatever I am doing now. A good-and-bad quality is I am stubborn. I hate to give up or give in, which frustrates my teachers to no end but also allows me to persevere. I love dancing. I miss my mother and my two little brothers, but I know this is for the best.

Interesting (and totally humiliating) thing about me? I still haven't ever kissed a boy. I want to, don't get me wrong, but it seems like the ones I like, like someone else, and the ones that like me I don't have any interest in. Well, I hope to meet the right one, soon - I am secretly very romantic, and want to be swept off my feet. I tend to make friends fairly easily, but I find it hard to really trust them enough to show all of my flaws, so I end up 'acting' a lot.

History:

My mom never married, but she had me and my brothers all the same. Bad idea. We were all always on the edge of starvation with only her modest income as a seamstress. When I was six, I was playing with stick swords with some of the neighborhood boys, and Madame Ilyana happened to be passing by. Apparently there was something about the way I leaped and pranced that was better than other leaping and prancing, because she went straight to my mother and said she would like to take me on as a pupil at the Academy. My mom wept and I ended up weeping too, but in the end we knew it was a great opportunity, almost unheard of, and I went with Ilyana.

I was taught many things, among them the normal 'career' things they teach to help tributes survive the Games, which I am fair at, and don't really care for - you can only weild a spear so many ways before it's dreadfully boring; how to read and write and do math and recite the history of Panem, which I am better at, but most of all I was taught to dance. And I will admit this straight out: at dancing, I'm great. I love it, too, despite the painfully aching feet and stretched-to-screaming muscles, and my dream is one day to dance so well that I am invited to the Capitol. I would love to live among all that beauty and luxury, a dancing butterfly with adoring fans.

There isn't much else to my history: I'm almost an old maid, and I'm a terrific dancer, that is what defines me. I miss my family, who I visit on occasion, but I would never want to change the life I've led up to this point. I dream of a far off place where everything is better, and art (like dancing,) really matters, but meanwhile, here I am, still stuck in District 4, making the best I can of it.
