Kira Hillam D10 Done~

[Deleted]

Name: Kira Hillam
Age: 16
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 10
Appearance:

The Hillam family is known for their wonderful hair that often appears brown but seems to shimmer red in the sunlight. Kira's hair is no exception to the beautiful mix of natural highlights that ran within her family's genes. She often wears her hair in a sloppy bun to keep it out of her eyes but if she actually lets the locks of brown fall down, the reach below her shoulder blades. The natural curls often distract her from her tasks at hand meaning she would rather have chopped them off long ago but the rest of the family refuses to let her do so. There is more to the girl than simply just her hair. People tend to notice the shimmering blue eyes that are placed on her face. It has been said that they are the color of the clearest sky and lined with gold. Her face is soft and childlike just like her mother's face with a round nose and seemingly perfect lips. 

Overall, it can be said that Kira is an attractive person based on outward appearance. If she lived in the Capitol or perhaps even a richer district then she would appear as one of the most beautiful faces in the district. Of course, she was born into a rather poor district with not a lot going for her. Often her face has splotches of dirt across it while her clothes are well worn and stitched together in certain places. 

Finally there are the technicalities of the poor girl. Kira stands at a slightly above average height of 5'8". She's thin with a tiny weight of 109 lbs meaning she is classified as underweight, though most people are considering there isn't much food in the district. She is strong though for having lived her entire life without a complete meal. While her ribs may show and her wrists are nothing but bone, she can work and is used to having nothing but skin and bones to her. Most people view her and think she is going to fall apart any moment as if her lack of food will be the death of her. She has no plans of letting that happen though, regardless of how skinny she may become. 

Personality:

In Kira's immediate family there are a few issues that have shaped who she grew into. She is the oldest of three, though that was not always so. When she was twelve she had two older twin brothers that ended up in quite a bit of trouble. It is unclear what happened but both were either shipped off or killed, making the young girl the oldest sibling in the family. She grew into a protective role for her family giving the conditions of her father. No matter what she was always willing to step out of her way to make sure her younger sisters had a good life. She refused to let them get hurt and cared for them as new needs arose. She assumed less of a mother role but more of a guardian but the catch was, her love only extended to her family. To the outside world, there was no love in Kira.

To the rest of the district, she was one of the cruelest teenagers wandering through the streets. She remained cold to those outside of her home in a hope that they wouldn't bother her or her family. She scared away anyone who came close, not being afraid to yell at them for the simplest of things or even point out their largest flaws. The world was simply a hindrance to the perfect lives of her sisters. There was a part of her that was ashamed though, not only for her cruel actions but also the actions of her father. Perhaps in a strange way she was trying to protect the world from the destroying duo as well.

Kira also happens to be a lovely worker. While she can be cruel and mean she remains focused and on task when given a job. She knows the best way around things and tries to find the quickest solution to any task she may have, even if that means changing herself for the sake of what is good. Mostly she works so quickly for the sole purpose of keeping her job and protecting what she cares about. Her world focuses around her family and she wouldn't want it any other way. 

History:

Kira was born in the late fall to two loving parents. Her older brothers were only a few years older and adored the new baby edition with all of their being. It was later on in life that her two younger sisters were born within the same year, one in January and the other late in December. It was in the later years when she was ten that things started to go downhill for the family. Her mother passed away after falling terribly ill and her brothers got out of control. Her father tried to control them with all of his might but between working extra time to earn enough money to feed the family, and the fact the boys were always running about and enjoying their freedom, it was impossible. 

One of the twins was shipped away to the capitol to become an avox or perhaps meet an even worse fate. The other disappeared into the arms of a Peacekeeper either to meet a similar walk of life or to be killed on the district's soil. Regardless, the end of the twins tore the Hillam's father apart. Slowly he noticed he was losing his entire family. He turned his life over to drugs to take away the pain and perhaps save himself from the hurt of losing himself. That was the day that the sisters lost another family member, the mind of their father. It was another year before Kira noticed that with their father barely working and spending all of their money on his self medication that something needed to be done. She begged everyone she saw to try and help them. It was finally an old man who gave her the job of herding some of the livestock that helped her.

With a new, all day job, Kira stopped going to school in order to watch the sheep that were placed under her care. She was given a dying dog to help her keep track of the animals and a whip in her hand to keep them in line and going where she needed them to. She became skilled at her job and was taught to herd the cattle as well. Constantly she worried about her sisters and her father back at the house and what was happening. It became her life to work and then go home to feed her family. Rinse, wash, repeat. It was what she became, a work force who would shoot an evil look at anyone who dared to come near her.
