Saskia Rose (District nine)

[skye2040]

Name: Saskia Rose
Age: 12
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 9
Appearance:

Slim and small, Saskia's the type of girl who could climb a tree without even coming within the danger of falling off, which is exactly what she does.
Her skin has an even dark brown tan, the type that you either inherit from your parents of gain by spending all your spare time outside.
Her hair is a shade darker than her skin, a dark glossy brown which sometimes appears black. It's natrually straight but due to Saskia almost always having it braided back, it's changed to wavy. Even in a braid, Saskia's hair goes just below her hips, when loose she can sit on it if she wants. When she works (hunts) she normally has the braid wound into a bun or just left braided.
Her eyes are a dark brown color, and big. They have golden flecks which start out dark near the edge of her eyes but gradually get lighter until they form a pale-gold surrounding her irises.
She has an exotic face: high cheek-bones, full lips, arched eyebrows and a straight nose.

Personality:

Saskia's a bit braver than average, but not one of those people who die for strangers. When faced with a problem, she tries to ignore her own emotions and focus on logical thinking, this makes many people see her as coldhearted or nasty. She dislikes company and prefers to be in the forest than anywhere else, she spends most of her time there.
Saskia's good at the things she enjoys, mainly archery and acrobatics. She can do cartwheels, backflips, all of that stuff, and she can do it well. Her most prized possesion is her bow, it's not very good (she made it herself) but it's good enough for her.

History:

Saskia had a great life until the age of nine, by then her father had been kind and caring, teaching her to hunt and survive. Her mother taught her more domestic tasks, cooking mostly but also about different types of plants. Then, on her little sister's birth, her mother died. Her father became depressed then and, when Saskia turned nine, her father commited suicide. Saskia took on the 'parent' role in the two-person household then, hunting and working to keep them both with enough food to live on.

A couple things:

Typically, if there were a nine-year-old and her younger sister orphaned, they would be sent to live in some kind of orphanage, so that really ought to be fixed unless you can elaborate a lot a lot on why they didn't.

Also, with the hunting and whatnot, that really is uncommon for people to do... so if you could at the very least elaborate on that, it would be better. It would also be good it you could elaborate on why she enjoys acrobatics, or her relationship with that, something, in the history as well.

Add these things and we'll see if we can accept you.
