Selena Fatoal-Wanderer

Selena is petite at only 5 foot in height. She's good at blending into crowds, but her line of work means that she's rarely in a crowd that she can blend into. She has emotive blue eyes that seem able to show her mood even if the rest of her face is stony and immobile. She tends to go for hardwearing, unflattering clothes that last for a long time and are in camoflague colours, khaki, earth tones and various shades of green being favoured.

Selena was once happy and outgoing, she had a job she loved and a family that loved her, who she saw everytime she returned to the Capitol. Since then though, she has become withdrawn, depressed at her lonely lot in life but too introvert to do anything to change it. She has thrown herself entirely at her work, trying to forget about the bad things in life. She has, however, kept a biting wit and a love of sarcasm and deprecation that she has always had in combination with her aggressive manner of speech

Selena's childhood was a happy one, she had a loving family and was never hungry or sick in the Capitol. She had an especially close relationship with her father, who called her his little firebrand, both due to her argumentative nature and her distinctive red hair. As a child she was always reading books, and particularyly loved looking at maps, her favourite birthday present was when she was 12, and her father gave her an antique atlas of the world, hundreds of years old. She spent days poring over maps, loving both the maps themselves and the additional pictures, paragraphs and facts. Names like "New York", "London", Tokyo" or "Moscow" gave her an odd feeling of nostalgia for a world she had never seen, living in the blandly named "Capitol" among the equally unimaginatively named "Districts".

As soon as she turned 18 she went to University, and upon graduation joined the Capitol Survey Institute as a cartography, making maps of the Districts and Forests, searching for remnants of Panem's past.

However, within a year, a week before her 21st birthday, when she came on a visit home, she found a fire had ripped through her family home. Her parents and older brother were killed, whilst her 12 year old sister was later euthanised to spare her the incurable pain of all-over burns.

Since then, Selena has thrown herself into her work, rarely returning to the Capitol, going at her job with an almost single-minded determination...
