Khale ShaWind District 12

My hair is a dark brown color like any normal seam child along with my eyes that are also a normal shade of grey for a seam child. My lips often look swollen because they are so big. Part of me always feels a bit subconscious of my lips even though I don't usually care about my overall appearance, my lips though, some how get me worried. My skin is a pasty white color and usually stays that way. Not that it matters because usually people will see me with a good layer of dirt on myself for one reason or another. I have a decent muscle build even though I am decently small for a guy. I stand at only five foot six inches. I can't say I hate it because the size of my muscles are intimidating enough led alone being tall would make me very intimidating, and I rather not be intimidating.

My smile is a very warm smile for a guy. It does not show up as like an attractive smile, but a friendly one. My nose is decently plump and round. I have a big birth mark on the edge of my left cheek that can easily be seen from a few feet away. My legs usually are covered with scraps and bruises due to me liking to climb trees a lot times. With climbing trees comes calluses all over my hands. They hurt sometimes, but I am able to ignore them so clearly they are not that bad. My arms are rather long in comparison to my height and legs. I guess it makes climbing trees easier. like my face and body as a whole I tend to get dirt underneath my fingernails. I guess I never mind getting dirty....

I am an intelligent person. I love to read books, and I will do anything to get my hands on some books. Sometimes it may include stealing and I know it is bad but I justify it by saying that knowledge should be given to me anyways. I often find myself working with one of the medics in town just so I can read up on the latest medicines since stealing is not exactly morally correct in that situation.( If I was not allowed to help and read those books, then I probably would steal them) It serves a duel purpose, even though I don't get paid I get to read, and I will get to learn medicine that will allow me one day to open up my own medic shop and make my own money and help people. I like helping people a lot. It makes me feel good inside. I also like to support myself. I am not a completely selfless person, you can say I have some greed to my ways, because yes I want to make some money as a medicine person. I am willing to help people, but honestly I am not willing to give anything away for free when I become a medic. My time is worth money. Honestly you can call me not empathetic, but I am willing to help people and I feel bad for them, just I have to protect my own interests too.

I am a very adventurous person. That is why I read books. I am able to escape this world where there looks like little adventure and find myself in another world. I also read books about nature. Oh how I love nature. You will often see me climbing trees to get a look at a little bird, or picking flowers in a meadow to take the seeds and grow back at my place. Some people call me a bit girlish for this stuff but I get dirty doing it? I am not afraid of dirt to be honest. You will see me on my hands and knees looking at a butterfly on a flower. This is often how I get dirt stuck up my fingernails.

So I am not afraid of heights. I am also not afraid of any fights. ( Even though I prefer not to get in a fight because I am not a scrappy type of person) I am not afraid of blood. I am however afraid of the dark. I don't know it is the weirdest thing. I just really hate the dark. It scares me soo much. So yep another reason why people call me girlish. I don't really care though. I am proud with who I am. Another thing that is not exactly considered a good trade mark of me is my quietness. Even when people want me to carry on a conversation I just can't. I tend to say too few words making people a bit mad at me. Sometimes they think I am not even listening when I am. b

My family is pretty well off for a seam family. They have some how been promoted to managers in the mines and so they make enough to feed us all each week. This allows me to just focus on what a teen does. All my life really I always had enough to eat. I mean a lot of nights I was not full to the point I wished to be but I was fuller than most seam people. This has allowed me to be more adventures. Instead of getting a job and worrying about it, I was allowed to go out and play. Go to the meadow and climb trees. Which I have learned to climb so well. I was even able to learn to read better than most. The truth is that I had time to practice reading that it allowed me to.

My sister, my grandma, and my two parents all share a two bedroom house in the seam. This is good considering there is not many houses like that in district twelve led alone the seam. I love my little sister a lot, but we argue sometimes about the stupidest of things. We argue about our education and how she tends to waste hers by not paying attention. We even argue about taking out tesserae. I personally never think we need it, but she thinks we need it. Worst of all she wants me to take it out. Which would be okay if we does.
actually needed it. Honestly sometimes I think she wants me to go in and win the games some how, so she becomes rich. Yeah my sister is the brat of the family so she probably
does.

The past couple of years has been odd. I have became closer and closer to getting out of being reaping age. This also means closer to being an adult and have to work myself. So with that I have started to work for a medic in this district. My parents say that I could probably get a good job in the mines like them, but they never realized how much I hate the dark. That is probably why I have pushed becoming a district medic on myself so much. I like helping people, but I don't like the dark even more. That is why I have since I can remember volunteered to sleep out in the living room next to the fire. So I did not have to deal with the dark for the most part.

I have always been an A+ student. With an occasional day dream that my teachers get mad at, my teachers tend to Love me as a student. Yeah a+ student F- social life. Well that is how it feels. I have no friends because the guys think of me as a bit too girlish, and I have had no girlfriends for one of two reasons. First I don't talk as much as they probably want me to when flirting, and second I tend to have dirt on me even at school, so they probably think I am too dirty for them. What makes up for the lack of a social life is that I have such a loving family who I actually get to spend time with unlike most kids who has one or both parents dead while the other parents have to work long hours and never gets to see them.
