Appearance:

Don't be deceived by my small looks. Just because I'm of a smaller frame and weight doesn't mean anything. I can still pack a punch. Throughout my entire life I've trained. I've formed the hidden muscles on my body. I've fought to keep myself fit. Behind the fire engine red locks of hair, and the red freckles is a pale face making me look sick. I've tried to stay in the sun for hours, but I burn turning bright red. I guess it's a good thing that I stay indoors all the time except when walking home from the training center. My legs are long causing me to stand about five foot six inches tall. It's just perfect. I'm not the tallest, and I'm definitely not the shortest person in the world. I'm also skinny. Not skinny, like a skeleton, but skinny. My ribs aren't noticeable.

Looking at my reflection through blue eyes, makes me cringe at times. I always smile, and I try to keep my teeth looking sharp, but sometimes yellow stains them. It makes me angry because I am supposed to be perfect. There have been times when I got my nose broke in training. It looks weird now, and sometimes it makes it hard to breathe, but the worse break I've had was a broken jaw. I couldn't speak for days, and I still have trouble speaking because of it. My words slur together, and it sounds like I'm drunk, or like I've tried to talk with a mouth full of food. I always keep my ears hidden behind my hair. They're large, and it gives people a way to find a weakness, and I don't want anyone to use them to make fun of me. Because I have a sharp tongue, and I can make quick remarks. It may be best to be aware, because I may just break my knuckles on the face of someone bothering me. I love bloodying my hands.

Personality:

Throughout my entire life, I spend my time trying to better myself. I want to be the best. Better than my brother. Better than everyone in the world. It seems very insulting when people trying to tell me I can't do something because I'm a girl. Well, forget them. When I'm told I can't do something, I will do everything in my power to prove that I can do it. I won't give up until it's done. Even if I fail over and over again, it doesn't matter. The only true failure is the one who gives up. Success only comes from the mistakes, the failures, every single part of life that isn't good enough. I'll argue with people. I'll tell them to keep trying. I'll tell them to get out of my face because they don't belong there. Nobody does. I am my own person. I will my life how I want to live it. Nobody directs it for me. Not even the Capitol.

I don't like the Capitol, and I'm not afraid to say it. I hate living under their control. It's like I'm a tiny lab animal they're experimenting on. It makes me sick to my stomach. Maybe one day it'll change, and I'll be in charge. Nobody will ever know what hit them, but until then I have to keep to myself. I have to train to become the most ruthless person around. I don't harm anyone unless I have a good reason to, but when I look inside a person I can always find a reason I'm looking for. I'll find a good enough reason to break someone in half. I don't want to save anyone because it's not worth my time especially when all they've done is knocked me down. I'll leave them down. I'll leave them trapped on the ground begging for someone to save them. I'm only looking out for my best interest. Everyone else's doesn't matter. Except my family.

My family is my life. I agree with my brother when he says family is worth protecting. I'll fight anyone who tries to harm them. I'll stand up for what I believe in because nobody, I repeat nobody will get away with hurting my family. Any rude remarks will result with my fist in a face. A broken nose, a broken jaw, teeth knocked out of mouths. Yeah, that's what'll happen. Take this as a warning. I may not seem like much, but I pack a punch. The difference between me and Kaidan; he uses words whereas I use brute force. I know how to catch people off guard and attack. I'm not stupid, and I will never be stupid. No matter what happens because I want to be the best, and I will protect my family with my entire life. If me dying meant saving them, I would die in a heartbeat. So it's best to just back away and leave us alone.

History:

I wasn't always a career. I was a nice person. Someone who cared about whether I hurt people or not. I was like Kaidan. I grew up having fun in life, and one day at school I met a guy who was amazing. I loved watching him, and I tried getting him to notice me. See, I developed a crush on him despite not knowing his name. I would follow him around everywhere he went. I sat for hours in the training center watching him train. I would always congratulate him on his hard work, but he just looked at me like I was some foolish person standing in his way. It hurt because I wanted to get to know him. I wanted to become friends with him, and maybe he would understand me, but he never noticed me. No matter how hard I tried. It was then I started training.

I would use all the weapons he used, and it took me a while to get used to them. They felt awkward in my hands. I messed up so many times, and it got him to notice me, but it wasn't in the way I wanted. He laughed at me, and so many others did too. It only made me start training harder. Every second I was awake, I started training. I forgot all about trying to help people - I didn't find in necessary anymore. I found that I preferred hand to hand combat the best. The first time I broke someone's nose, I cried because it was the worse feeling in the world, but once again it only made him laugh at me along with everyone else in the gym. The nameless man didn't realize that I had developed a deep crush on him, and I couldn't bring myself to tell him because I felt he would only laugh. I never knew his name until the sixty-ninth reaping. It was then the man of my dreams was reaped into the games. Mason Hammerfell. He was strong, and I knew he was, and I wanted him to win so I could prove myself to him, yet he died instead. Mason's death changed me.

I became a career that day. I go to the training center each and every day. I spend hours developing my skills with weapons, and I hurt people. I don't care about their feelings anymore because mine were ripped from my body. All the love and happiness was replaced with anger and hatred. I vowed I wouldn't ever fall in love with anyone again. My family worries about me. They think I've lost my mind, and maybe I have, but they don't understand. I spent so many years of my life trying my hardest to prove I was worthy to this man. To Mason, yet I wasn't ever good enough for him. I was only a person to laugh at. A person he hated. If anyone laughs at me now, they'll meet my fist. I'm not that innocent little girl anymore. I won't ever be because she's gone. The districts wants cold hearted careers? Well, they got one and nothing will ever change it.
