LOOKS

Anything but typical, this girl is. When given the freedom to do anything, be anything she had ever wanted, Eisley did nothing less than that. It started with her hair at the age of 15. She'd seen crazy hairstyles on television before. There was nothing uncommon about it when it came to the Capitol's eccentric ways of glorifying their 'beauty' more and more every time a new Hunger Games rolled around. It just so happened that one of the stylists for a district had dreadlocks one year. The unique style of the messy, braided hair sparked an interest within Eisley. The interest quickly developed into a desire, something she wished to recreate for herself. Her father tried to explain that it would be a fairly hard process, one that neither him nor his wife knew much about. It was a faded style, one hardly anyone in the district used. Even so, Eisley was not one to take no for an answer. She insisted on trying until they succeeded. So they did. Over the next few months, they tried multiple ways of recreating the style for Eisley. After multiple failed attempts, they finally decided to braid up the hair all clean and tight and just wait it out. The method seemed to work, with a little bit of maintenance every once in awhile. Eisley had successfully crafted dreadlocks out of her long black hair by the time she was 17.

Similar to the desire to change her hairstyle so dramatically, the girl was also influenced to get piercings. She planned to get many, to fill her ears with them and even get a single one on her nose. Eisley's plans would have worked, too, if just getting one hadn't been such a struggle. To start things off, the girl decided it would be easiest just to get her nose done first. She figured it would be the quickest, the simplest, and was unpleasantly surprised to find out it would take months to get the job done. Just to get the little ring of silver that would act as her jewelry, by scraping up what little money she could find, took Eisley ages. Her belonging to the big, cliche family that didn't have enough all the time, didn't help. But, Eisley was determined. She worked extra shifts in the fields until she had just enough cash to purchase her desired piece of silver from the district's local crazy, who had a knack for picking up shiny things (one of which happened to be a loop of silver just the right size for Eisley).

Believe it or not, the trickiest part came with the actual piercing of the girl's nose. Her parent's believed the nose ring would be a little too much, even if they normally supported their daughter's wild ways. Both of them refused to help the girl pierce it, leaving Eisley to fall on her siblings for assistance. The only one willing to help out was Clifford, her younger brother who was 15 at the time and wasn't exactly the brightest. On the first attempt, Clifford managed to get the needle through, but passed out almost immediately after at the sight of a little blood coming from his sister's new piercing. Eisley managed to get the ring in without Clifford's help, seeing as he was a little preoccupied. Even so, it took only a matter of days for the new piercing to grow painfully infected. Eisley removed, waited a month or two for it to heal up nicely, and then proceeded to try again. Not surprisingly, Clifford failed to volunteer for a second attempt. In his place, Arlo Coon stepped up. Eisley's senor by one year, Arlo was a much more preferable choice. He handled the sight of blood much better, making the second and final attempt a success. Eisley managed to fight off infection until the new accessory had healed, earning her a first and last piercing. She abandoned the idea of having more after such a delightful experience from the first.

Another interesting aspect of Eisley's appearance is her glasses. When it became apparent that her vision was not up to par, Eisley received a rather over-sized pair of glasses from her parents. They said smaller pairs were more expensive (more rare meant more costly), and that she would just have to grow into them. Big glasses that fell down often were a small price to pay for the ability to see, so Eisley hardly had a problem with them. Her siblings teased her until she finally started to grow into them around the age of 15, but again, she never minded. She grew up with the single pair of glasses and it is now one of her most precious items.

PERSONALITY

With her wicked combination of being both a realist and horrendously stubborn, Eisley is hell on wheels. She's known for never giving up, but the record mostly comes from the fact that she never takes on an impossible task. Analyzing everything before jumping, the girl is known for never failing. In truth, the reputation isn't as true as most people believe. Eisley just never takes on more than she can handle and really doesn't like to push limits. She will get whatever she puts her mind to done, simply because she doesn't put her mind to anything that can't be completed. Many people consider her fearless, but the girl simply plays it smart. The world is full of boundless opportunity, one just has to know which chances to take and which to let go.

Due to Eisley's stubbornness, the teen refuses to believe that her life will always be confined to the borders of Panem. There has to be something else, something better, away from the country that sacrifices children for entertainment. The teen loves the idea of getting away from District 9, of breaking free and experiencing the world. Adventure is out there and Eisley wants to find it. She just can't right now, not with the busy task of caring for her family. Besides, she could never leave her family. She cares far too much for them. Her younger siblings, all three of them, and her two older ones, are her weakness. Devoted to them completely, Eisley's love for her family has no bounds. She'd do anything, be anything, for them. It’s just other people that are complicated for her.

Eisley is quite the complex person, as she often finds herself doubting how to react to different scenarios and how to behave around others. She's blunt to a point, due to years of hardening with her family. Telling people that she doesn't like them or that they are doing something that annoys her is her specialty. No one is allowed to bother her without being notified. Even if she has the guts to say something, it often results in an undesired solution—laughter. Why everyone always assumes her to be kidding, when really she's just being brutally honest, Eisley doesn't understand. She tells it like it is, normally flashing a mischievous grin out of habit or unconsciously. Her tendency to smile when insulting someone is probably the reason why people believe she just has rude humor.

Her tendency to be cruel often leads her to be judgmental of many. She's quick to snap and quick to categorize. On her first encounter with you, it's either she likes you or she doesn't. There really isn't a between and the task of moving categories is something accomplished by very few. As well as judging others hastily, Eisley's habit of losing her temper is quite notable. She isn't one to go out of her way to make enemies and prefers the saying "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer," but often finds herself with a long list of adversaries due to her short fuse. It only takes a few wrong words or an ill-timed sentence to make her vicious. She doesn't stand for people getting in her way or causing unnecessary stress to her life.

If you do, in some form of a miracle, ever grow close enough to break through Eisley's wall, you've got a real friend for a long time. This girl knows what it means to be willing to sacrifice for someone and if you can earn her respect, she'll go the distance for you. Even so, this category of people is often reserved for family and the girl has yet to find anyone worth allowing in.

HISTORY

Ever since her birth as the third child in the Coon family, Eisley has always done what she has desired. She was unruly and adventurous, leading her older siblings on quests through the house that made fairy-tale bedtime stories pale in comparison. When the bigger kids outgrew her and her traveling mind, she fell to her younger ones. They rattled their parent's crumbling house, stampeding across the creaking wood floor as they hunted dragons and protected their families treasure—just a silver teething spoon passed down for some generations. Like the little band of warriors they were, with Eisley as their leader, they were unstoppable. In the broken down house that held much too big a family for its size, the Coon kids believed they lived in a castle, a palace, until reality came crashing down.

At the age of 3, when Eisley was only 6, Magnus Coon passed away from starvation in the midst of a bleak winter. It was hard to accept for the family. For months, everyone seemed to be consumed with guilt. Each person in the family blamed themselves for the fate of one of the family's younger boys. Abner, the eldest of the family, was consumed by the death of one of his younger siblings. He felt that by keeping the other kids alive, they had subconsciously chosen to let Magnus die. Each kid seemed to realize that by eating and surviving, they had made it that much harder for little Magnus to live. Mr. and Mrs. Coon grew deeply insecure about their parenting skills, growing more and more needy for their children's approval. After Magnus' death, the desire to have more children died down for awhile, at least until Mrs. Coon gave birth to her last two children, Elysia and Finnian, a few years later. They devoted every day to making sure their remaining kids got everything they wanted. It wasn't entirely possible to do alone, however, and working for more money often fell on their older kids in order to supply more for the younger ones.

So, when Eisley turned 17, she went to work in the vast grain fields to pull more money in for the family. She originally hated the job. It was tiresome and kept her in the sun a lot. The days were long and instead of searching for adventure, she spent the hours packing away grain that only the Capitol would ever see again. Not really an optimist, Eisley was miserable for a majority of her first days. The misery didn't seem to lighten until she fell ass over ankles in love with one of her fellow workers. Like any normal teenage girl, she easily became infatuated upon striking up a friendship with another worker her own age. The only thing that wasn't so seemingly normal was that the subject of her crush happened to be another girl. While Eisley found nothing wrong with it, her parents were quite surprised to learn that their oldest daughter had fallen for another girl. Even so, they reacted naturally and generally accepted the idea. Her father just figured it was a little phase and the girl would get over it.

Nothing ever happened between Eisley and the other girl, even though the Coon girl pursued her relentlessly. Not even Eisley's best efforts earned her a relationship with the girl, but it didn't stop her from trying her luck with others. Hearing about her latest crushes and newest targets, her parents eventually knew it wasn't a phase. They never treated her differently, however, everyone in the family being very accepting of Eisley's sexuality. As long as she continued working in the fields and kept her family as her number one priority, no one seemed to mind.
