Appearance:
Amethyst is a beautiful girl. She has long blonde hair that she usually wears in a bun, and when she has it down, it hangs with magnificent curls. Her eyes are a bright blue color despite the sadness of district 12. Her hair and eye colors make her stand out in the district, but most everyone have gotten use to her unnatural looks. Another feature that isn't unusual is her pale skin. But depending on how often she goes hunting, on occasion, she will have tan skin.Personality:
Amethyst is unusually small for her age. A short five feet tall, so she is always close to the ground. And because of the food shortage is District twelve, she is a skinny 100 pounds. But when she gets a good bit of meat on her hunting trips, she gains a few pounds. So sometimes she is average weight. Despite the girls small size, Amethyst is a very light on her feet. Amethyst has a few noticeable flaws. She has a large birthmark that covers half of her right arm, since it is on the lower part of her arm, it's always noticeable unless she wears a jacket, and she has a long jagged scar from where she fell on it as a little kid.
Amethyst is a very sweet person. She tends to help other people whenever she can. Mostly because it's become a habit with her taking care of her younger siblings. And despite the horrible predicament in district 12, Amethyst has still held on to her old self as much as possible, even when she hardly has anything left.History:
Some would call her optimistic. But really, her happy and helpful personality is just a make. Ever since the death of her parents, Amethyst has been depressed and lonely, despite having so many siblings. She knows her future is bleak, and nothing is really out there for her. The only hope she has held on to, was that she or her brother would get reaped and win the games. Which would give her family everything they would ever need.
But still, Amethyst takes care of her siblings. It's all she can really do. Which has brought out her motherly side. And the youngest child she takes care of is actually only 6 months old. So she has plenty of experience in the art of child care. And taking care of such a young child, at such a young age has actually made her not want kids of her own. She has her siblings, and that's okay with her.
As Amethyst grows older, she grows more mature. Really, the day her parents died was the day she grew up. Not just for herself, but for her siblings. She taught herself how to foraging in the woods, how to barter, and eventually how to cook. It helps her get through the day. And has helped her keep her family alive.
Despite being the mature one out of her family, Amethyst does have her bad days. Since she has a short fuse, she tends to get into fights with her twin brother, and with some of the people at her school, not that she goes anymore. But she has had plenty of fights in her days. And she won't hesitate to run into a fight if she finds it necessary.
Again, because of her small size, Amethyst has great stealth. Since she is so short and weighs so little, she can run without making much noise. And speaking of running, Amethyst is very quick. She can outrun her brother, who has longer legs, and has been running longer than her. And because of her foraging talent, Amethyst has somehow provided for her family, and gotten amazing at identifying herbs, plants, and other little things to eat.
Amethyst was born on March 23, the same day as her twin brother, Jason. As soon as Amethyst was old enough to understand the horrible situation of the districts, Amethyst grew up. She was the mature one out of the two siblings. And around her fifth birthday, her brother Alexander was born. He was two months early due to their mom not getting enough food, so he died a week after birth. This devastated everyone in the family. But they soon got use to the feeling, and within a few months, a new baby was on the way.Codeword: odair
Amethyst little brother Kaleb was born on the same day as Amethyst and Jason. March 23. His birth was a great present for Amethyst. She had been waiting for a new sibling for six years. And she loved being a big sister. She would help take care of him all the time. And again, a year later, Amethyst's little sister was born. One April 29.
Amethyst loved new siblings, and she loved to help take care of them. But when her youngest sister was born six and a half years later on November 4, the strain on her mother had been to much. Her mother died giving birth to her sister. And his wifes death had caused Amethysts dad to take his life the following night. So Amethyst, being only 13 years old, was forced to take care of all of her siblings, with only her brothers help. And she basically became a mom to her youngest sister. Who, by Amethyst's 14th birthday, is only 6 months old. No mother, and no father.
Amethyst has since learned how to forage, and support her family. Her brother helps as much as possible, he often forages when Amethyst can't, and both have stopped going to school. There great aunt moved in with them, after she forced them to talk, but has since been useless. All she does is sleep, drink, and smoke. Literally. So Amethyst and Jason have taken up all responsibility, and do the best they can to take care of their siblings.
