Age: 13
Gender: Female
District/Area: 4
Appearance: Am I pretty ? I don't think so. I'm just like the others. I used to think that girls of my age shouldn't focus that much on appearance. As far as I'm concerned, I want to be a hero, not a doll. But, since you ask, I'll tell you how I look like. As most thirteen-year-old people, I still look like a child. I'm much too small : I'm so small that I can't reach several lockers in my own house, which is really annoying. Moreover, I still have childish green eyes and an innocent smile when I stare at you. It moves every single grown-up person seeing me, thinking I'm just a cute little thing. All of this means that I can't scare at all my older brothers, Joshua and Jeremy. Never.
The only cool thing about how I look is that I'm allowed to keep my hair long. Not because I think it's prettier, but I really hate when my mum cuts it, it's really long and boring. I think she got annoyed of arguing with me each time she wanted to cut it, so she just let me tranquil. As a result, my blond hair is excessively long now. But I like that, just because it shows that I won, and my mum lost.
Now that I've been thinking about it for a while, I'v changed my mind. Appearance can be a weapon in life. I've noticed that it helps girls to get what they want. This is why I've changed so much in the past few month. I've started to take care of my long and wavy blond hair, brushing it, styling it, making it shine. I've borrowed clothes to my seventeen-year-old sister Jessica, who knows everything how to be appealing. I don't, but I'm trying. I'm trying to look and be more mature, so I can be considered. I must be the prettier of all.

Personality: Who am I ? I don't really know. I'm not particularly smart - I've always been struggling at school - neither incredibly charismatic or funny. This is why I've never had so many friends. I am even shy, too shy according to my parents. They don't think that I'm an interesting daughter. I always try to please them, but it seems like I fail all the time. I'm always trying to please people and to be as gentle, quiet and easy-going as possible. But I feel like that's not enough. I feel like I should do something more to deserve the life that I have. My brothers neither don't really believe in me : they think I'm weak. They believe that the only thing I can do is complain, even though I'm always trying to do my best actually. The only person who may have a positive opinion about me is my sister. She is very friendly to me, she is the only person who makes me laugh. I'm not a very funny person, as I said.
If I look deeply inside myself, I can see better than what they say. I am brave. I never hesitate to do what I think is right. I can't deal with injustice. And I am loyal, I would never betray anyone, especially my friends and my family. I couldn't look myself in the mirror anymore if I did. And I'm hard-working : as I said, I always do my best in every single situation, even in my everyday life. I hope that when I'll be older, I'll keep this inner strengths and reinforce them. Because I definitely want to be a good person.

History: Where do I come from ? I come from nowhere. I've always lived here, in District 4, in my parents' house. My life has never been extremely fascinating. Even my own family never cared a lot about me. I've been and I'll always be the younger - the last. Well, I can't really complain : I never lacked of anything I needed, this lack of attention fits me. Back from the beginning. I was born thirteen years earlier, in autumn. I grew up with my two older brothers and my older sister as privileged people, since we lived in the District 4. I've heard that life is much more tough in Lower Districts, but I've never been there. I'm fine here, going to school, training for potential Hunger Games, fishing when I have some free time. This is actually very rare.
This is my daily life routine. Not very fascinating, as I said. The only thing which might seem particular is that my dad made me training for the Hunger Games since the age of nine. He explained that even if I'm not very attractive neither clever, at least I could be a good fighter at the Games. I don't really know if I want to win them. I'm not really convinced that it would make my life better - if I ever survive and win. But my parents seem to have chosen that for me. Well, since they let me doing everything I want, I'm not bothered to learn how to fight. By the way, I don't really hate that.

Other: What else do you need to know about me ? Not that much actually. I don't have any specific goals in life, I'm little bit lost actually. I neither don't have real fears, or I don't know them yet. Maybe because I'm too young to take all of this into consideration. Maybe life will teach me more things about myself. I can't wait to experience new things !
If my vocab or my grammar is not good enough, or if I made mistakes, don't hesitate to let me know !
