Name: Juniper
Age: 18
Gender: female
District: 2

History:

Everyone should be happy to have a family.  No matter how weird or poor it may be, it is still a family. I am no exception, I need my family too. But here is the big question: where is my family? Do I even have one? My adoptive family was all right but it failed to protect me. My own twin betrayed me to take my rightful place in that family and nobody even noticed. How could they not see that she was a murderer? Wasn't the crime clearly visible in her eyes? How could they not notice she wasn't their child?

Home is where your family is. Right now I am a homeless "maniac", so that also proves that I don't have a family. I and my sister are the only ones who know I am not a criminal, but she wouldn't tell anyone the truth and nobody would ever believe me. Even my adoptive parents would probably think I am a liar.

Maybe that means I have never been a part of that family. Maybe they are not the people I am meant to be with. Maybe my destiny lies somewhere else, not in that house. Maybe I should let them be. Maybe all I need to find my family and my home is a fresh start. Forget them all and forgive them all. 

Personality:

I have always been a forgiving person. I don't know how some people manage to hold grudges for so long. Every time somebody does a mean thing to me it doesn't affect me much. I just wake up the next day and see that it doesn't matter, that it was no big deal. I feel like those small insults and fights never existed. However, I can sense the effect my twin's betrayal had on me every morning. Because I don't wake up at home anymore. Because I still remember how happy I was to find out that I have a sister. And that reminds me of what she did to me.

I have always been loving and caring. And she took away the people who were close to me, leaving me with no one to take care of. She did her best to break the person I was. I am not sure if she succeeded. Maybe I could still be me. I just need to find myself new people to love.

I also really miss cooking. At home, I always had a chance to think of new recipes, experiment with different kinds of flavors. It was also fun to clean up afterward - I usually danced with a broom and I used to sing merrily while I did that. Now I think I've forgotten how to sing. I am sure I can remember though. I just need a good reason to open my mouth again. I haven't even been talking much recently - what's the point in talking when nobody is probably going to believe me anyway?

Appearance:

When I wash my face every day, I stare into the mirror and shrug. I am rather good looking. Black hair, black eyes, brown skin. Why wouldn't anyone like me? I even have beautiful lips and a cute nose. What family wouldn't want such a darling child?

Maybe I am not tall enough for my age and no one can take me seriously? I don't know if it is a big problem, but it definitely isn't the best thing about my appearance. We all have flaws though. It doesn't change the fact that everybody needs a home, a family and a little bit of love. I deserve it all too and I want my life back. Is it even possible?
