PERSONALITY -Common would never be able to describe herself. She is very modest, unlike her parents in every way. She is extremely honest, and wuold hardly ever tell a lie unless she really had too, and her manners add on to that. It may help a bit she is a butcher's daughter, and has always had enough to eat and clean clothes to wear, but nonetheless. She's a very well behaved child. Sweet, too. She cares about other people, and is very thoughtful. Sometimes, she'll nab a slice of ham off the counter and slip it to a particularly hungry looking person. She is easily likable, and very trustowrthy to keep a secret.
Common has a problem with her temper. After all her sweetness and kindness, many things can get on her nerves quite a bit. Ignorance, for one. She hates having to explain or repeat herself. She'll yell if she has to. She doesn't like the Games, but always spends her spending money on sponsering the youngest tribute. This year that means someone her age. Now, Common isn't really the smartest kneedle in the haystack, and she definetly isn't one to win the Games if she were Reaped.
Common's habits include picking at her nails, which her parents are always trying to maker her stop doing. She pops her knuckles as well, with a harsh crack from popping so hard. She enjoys dancing very much. Her mom teachers her how to dance, and it's one of the things she can't stop doing once she starts. Although, she hates swimming. She can't swim, either.
Her realtionship with her family is very interesting to hear. First, she's got her direct family. That is her mother, the dancer, her father, the butcher, and her brother, thecourt jesterprankster. After that we move to her aunts, uncles, and cousins. She only has one uncle, her Uncle Kyle, who is her father's brother. She has Aunt Sue, but she's just Unle Kyle wife. She hasn't seen them since she was a very little baby. Their children are the Strekker Triplets, Amity, Fornax, and Meredith. She saw them one day outside the shop, and handed them meat, and after hearing their names knew the relation. They haven't seen eachother since.

APPEARANCE -Common has bright red hair, that is very fuzzy but soft. It is well kept, and not tangled easily. Her hair is thin. She has light skin with lots of freckles surounding her face. Speaking of face, it is very round, and healthy looking. Her eyes are bright blue and beautiful, almond shaped too. She has a rather thick nose, coming from her mother's side. Her lips are thin, and her teeth are white.
Common is skinny, but not deadly skinny looking like many of the people arround her. She weighs 76 pounds, and is 4'9". Just a little bit shorter than most of the kids her age. She has narmal length legs and arms, none long or short. Yet, her main body is a bit long in general. She has extremely boney fingers from popping too hard, too much, and they don't look to good. Same goes for the toes on her feet, boney and ugly. Due to her modesty though, she does't care. A matter of fact, she hardly notices. She never has cared much about what she looked like.
Usually Common can be found wearing a grey and white striped shirt with sleeves that end almost to her elbows. She wears black pants with it. Sometimes, she'll wear a short sleeved red shirt and white shorts in hot weather, which is common. To the Reaping she wears a white dress made out of soft yarn. When she dances, her mom puts her in a long red shirt, that reaches a few inches past her waist, and is very flimsy, and a pair of kakhi length pants.

HISTORY - Common was born in the merchant class, and was well off from the start. Back in those days, both her dad and his brother had been having many arguements. You see, her Unlce Kyle had had triplets, and was asking her dad for money. She had a greedy dad, who didn't share and would scold her if she gave away food. He refused him, and began shunning her uncle for consitantly asking. She never heard from her uncle again, not even her aunt by marriage. They had dissapeared from her life, and her parents did everything to keep her away from the triplets of which were only a month younger than her.
Well, that didn't last long. When she turned eight she picked a piece of lamb off the counter and rushed it to the door to a little bunch of red haired girls. They looks so hungry. That would be the first time she gave away food, and she gave it to them, which they gracefully accepted. "What are your names?" She had asked. "Oh we're the Strekkers. Amity, Fornax, Meredith." The one who called herself Meredith replied. My mouth hung open a bit. My cousins. I abruptly dashed back into the shop. Yet, after that, I always tried to give food to hungry looking people hanging out by the front.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
When Common turned 10, her brother had to go for his first Reaping. She was scared stiff for him, yet he did come out alive. Se was even more scared of what her first Reaping would be like. Terrible? Perhaps. That night ehr dad dug into steak, which they hardly ever got to eat. That meat was saved for customers and whatnot. They had mashed potatoes with it, and a few peaches. Later on, her and her brother did their favorite thing ot play together. Marbles. They played it all through the night, and in the morning got up and weren't even fazed by staying up so late. Just happy neither had been sentenced to death.
