Name: Jessica Grainstalk
Age: 17
Gender: Female
District/Area: 10
Appearance:
(it's actually me, even though I'm 25 >_<) Jessica is a thin, short red haired girl with slight freckles. Under her right eye is three moles that look like tear drops, something that makes her always look sad. She isn't as frail as she looks and can handle weight even though her body doesn't show it. Jessie looks younger than she is but doesn't let anyone put her down because of it. She has been known to catch the eyes of others easily with a simple smile. She learned by watching the capital programs on how to dye her hair, and so her hair isn't actually red with black its naturally brown.
Her clothing is hand sown by her mother who has taken up the chore for extra money so is is traditional old wild west type of clothing except when she is out working the fields. Her eyes are brown, almost black, as if she is looking into your soul in a way. Her skin is very pale and she burns easily working the ranch, so she can be seen with bad sunburns a lot. She doesn't take care of her clothing as well as most would because they will just get dirty the next day again. She also paints her nails black in mourning for her father. She self pierced her upper right ear five times as well.
Personality:
Cunning, strong, willful and determined. She cares for animals so much that she actually goes out of her way to protect tracker jacker nests from being burned down. Jessie grew up wrangling cattle with her father and it has gotten her to be very strong willed and not afraid of running down a bull with rope. She is sad a lot of the time though and does not eat meat. Having raised almost all the animals on her families farm, she refuses to eat what she raised. She is slightly egotistical about it too.
This has caused her to take in massive amounts of tesserae in for her family, making her hard to read when things get serious. She couldn't hurt a fly but, she does have a seductive side to get out of things. Once a bull on her farm charged a peacekeeper and her coy had gotten the family out of having to pay the fine with lashes. She has very few friends in 10 because of her life style of food. She is very withdrawn sometimes and seems to zone out because of it.
She would not be able to kill a mutt without it scaring her for life. Animals are her life. She one day hopes to be able to learn how mutts are made and raise them herself, maybe even create some just to keep her passion going, possibly curing sickly ones as well. She is the go to girl for animal birthing in her small area of the district, having the skills and calmness to get it down. She also cries every time she has to butcher a cow for meat for the capital.
History:
Jessie grew up on a farm like most kids in 10, but when her mother was pregnant with her 5th brother, Billy, her father was gored to death by a bull that had gotten loose. Since then, Jessie has been the sole care keeper of the farm. Her mother sells the baby animals off faster than they are born some times. She cares deeply for her brothers who are all too young to be in the games. They are her life since her father's death. He taught her how to hog tie a cow in less than 2 minutes.
Her brothers are, Billy, who is now 2, Johnny, who is 4, Kieth, who is 8, West and Louis who are 11 year old twins. She doesn't allow them to take any extra rations, not wanting her mother worry about the future if she is ever reaped, that her brothers would have to help bring food in. The farm is almost without live stalk at this point in her life. She breeds the cows, chickens, and pigs, but the horses and goats have all sold. Her mother is very caring and grateful for everything Jessie has done since the accident.
Growing up, before her fathers death, she actually was a happy kid, until her mother and father decided to try for another girl, and ended up with boys. Her father always thought the ranching should be for the boys, but he wanted another daughter for milking and rearing of the young. But since Jessie was oldest, she learned everything. She has recently begun to teach her brothers West and Louis how to wrangle pigs and baby cows up so that if the worst should ever happen, they could carry out the farms tradition and keep it going.
Despite all of this, she still is very lucky to be 17 now and not reaped, but only time will tell if her luck will run out.
