penny

Penny, you always thought it was a name that sounded like innocence incarnate. That's why you loved it. It presented a lure, a welcoming invitation for people to join you in your life. You could play up to the expectations people had when they heard your name, that they would think you're another girl from the more rural part of district two, that you're sweet and charming. You would always play up to those expectations too, even though you truly are anything but sweet.

In front of adults you were always Penny, the sweet girl who had moved from a rural home to the center of the district. You always will be too, and with each flash of a smile you gain another adoring adult. But they don't know who you are. The other careers you train with know, and so do your friends. They see the flare of passion in your eyes when you wield a sword. They see the blood thirst that overcomes you when you brandish a knife to an opponent's throat. They know you crave victory, and that whenever you have the chance for competition, your competitiveness overcomes your sweetness. They know that you are dangerous. And while, you are two-faced, you certainly are single-minded as you fight for what you crave most, fame.
