Iris Brookside, District 5.

[tardisgirl]

Name: Iris Brookside
Age: 14
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 5
Appearance:

Iris is 5'4 and normal weight wise. She has a clear complexion, tan skin that has the healthy glow of someone who works hard outdoors, and dark brown almond shaped eyes. Her hair is a very dark brown that borders on black in the winter. She is pretty, but not extraordinarily so, as her common state of being covered with dirt and sweat often makes it hard to tell.
She has a slightly small ski-slope nose, a normal mouth, and small ears.
She is quite muscled from her work with the animals.
She usually wears lose tan pants, a lose white long sleeved shirt, and tan leather heelless boots.

Personality:

Isis is kind, sympathetic, soft hearted, and slightly naive. Although to people she dislikes or doesn't know, she can be stiff, cold, bitter, and harsh.
She is usually quiet. Standing in the background and watching, rather then interfering. However, if she feels something needs to be done, she will do it, and you can't stop her. (Mindset speaking, as it is quite possible to physically stop her.)
She is sometimes sad and depressed, due to the death of her father and difficulty of living, but at other times is the life of the party.
She loves to paint, whenever possible, which is not often.
Despite the lack of time and supplies, painting is her favorite activity because, in her own words, "True, I don't have any real paints or paper, but even so, nothing gives me more joy then painting. See, It's like giving life to where there was none, adding color and reality to something blank. And the only way I can ever see freedom, is to paint it."
On acquaintance, she is quiet, always watching and thinking.
If you know her as a friend, she is slightly emotional, brave, smart, extremely loyal, a bit of a dreamer, and, (you have to be a family member or best friend to know this one. Or a psychic.) Secretly lives in terror of The Capitol and losing her family and friends and dreams of one day leading a rebellion against the Capitol. (I told you she was a bit of a dreamer.)

History:

Iris has always lived in the middle class area of District 5. She had a mother, father, and two little sisters (Cypress, now 8 and Eldra, 5 and a half.) until a third of the way through her 11th year. Her father was a rebel, one who was starting to get some real support, and was providing the possibility of an uprising in District 5, but then, a Judas talked and The Capitol found out.
Realizing that public execution would start an uproar, they set up an "accident" for him. When what was left of him was found, it was blamed on the two bloody Bengal tigers in the cage with him that he had been training for a rich couple in The Capitol.
He was buried, the Uprising died after the other two instigators were taken out by "accidents", and his family did it's best to keep going.
She has had to help her mother, without whose expert talent and hard work they would have died, raise and sustain the family.
She now works mostly with exotic pets-to-be such as wolves, tigers, snakes, and bears. The rest of her time is spent helping out however she can, playing with her sisters, or painting on wood or rocks with berry juice or mud.

Comments/Other:

Sorry, this is the first time I've used pictures. I think that I'm supposed to put the link in the thing that says "attachment", but if I'm wrong, please tell me.

Thanks so much!

The picture shows, so it's perfectly OK. I prefer uploading pictures on Tinypic.com and then putting the link (Direct Link to Layouts, or something like that) between and [/img] though. It's just easier.

Accepted!
