APPEARANCE:
Gazing at her reflection dreamily, she'd say she'd never seen anything so wonderful. She would, however, say this about most things her golden eyes fell upon. Her sharpness of her pale, sickly face always appeared so healthy as it looked up at her for the ocean's surface. Over years the elegant, golden locks of a youth had become a milky stretch hair, made silky by grease and salt water. In a moment of joyous boredom many months ago, she formed several skinny braids that dusted her cheeks when she ran. A few moments afterwards, she weaved in a strand of glittering, misshapen pearls she had collected over the course of her life.
"Stand straight," her brother told her before her first Reaping. She promised she wasn't hunching, she was always this small. While her eyes saw the desirable well-built elegance of a woman, reality stated the girl should be food-less and fragile. Her mouth, as petite as it seemed, never stayed closed. The only real source of colour glowed from her peach lips. At the corner, though, there was a tiny, almost unnoticeable crack - like a delicate fracture in a glass. Glancing further, however, the glass begins to shatter. A scar, deep and prominent, crawled from her mouth across her cheek, branching off like a bare ash tree, ending around her temple. In her happiness, she sees it not as a blemish, but as an extension of her smile.
PERSONALITY:
Due to uncontrollable circumstances (details below), she was transformed from a fearful, sour child, into a carefree adolescent. Her state of mind is considered a disability by some, a quirk by others. Even doctors couldn't say with complete certainty whether or not her excitable behavior was due to brain damage or a suppressed memory, so they left her alone. So did everyone else. And, like everything, she found joy in this loneliness. Her enthusiasm was limitless - not even excluding the Games.
Her ability to find beauty in everything does not always serve her well. On a number of occasions, during the delicate weeks of the Games, she makes honest comments about tributes, causing outrage within segments of the community. Her family, of course, stay loyal to her, so have made a number of enemies within the District. However, there are some that appreciate her all-seeing-eyes. The occasional, more poetic child will have an encounter with her and will settle to be her friend. Her unrestricted openness makes her incredible friendship material.
She is kind and gentle in her naivety. Friends come and go like clouds in the sky; sometimes she grasps them, other times she allows them to float on. In her loneliness, she imagine herself companions, talking to them like they were ghosts. Artistic and often accidentally hurtful, she always finds grace in the world, as broken as it is.
HISTORY:
"Don't play down on the docks," they had told her. First it was her father's instruction, then her mother's, then her sibling's. Despite the five of them telling her - begging her - not to venture into the midst of sailors, she couldn't help herself. She did it often; to spite them perhaps, to rebel. No one can truly understands why. One evening, during her tenth year of life, she wandered with a certain quiet guilt along the dock. A particularly old and notoriously bitter fisherman - named Placidus, or something of the like - sat on a crate, mending a broken net, watching her. When she noticed him, she stopped. "Go home," he wailed at her. "This is no place for children." That it wasn't, but the wisdom in his words was ignored. Rebelliously, with an attitude beyond her years, she turned and walked away - not in the direction of home.
In a fatherly manner he stood and followed her, calling after the child. "D'you hear me kid? Away home with you." She still rejected his warning and walked on, into danger. It was fate's cruel decision that on this particular night, this particular child sauntered past a brawl at the moment she did. Two young - but surprisingly aggressive - youth sailors had clashed and were caught up in a knife-fight. Placidus saw too late what was about to happen. She tried to creep past the men, but had been knocked backwards, toppling head-first off the pier. "What did we tell you?" they all would've said, but she was beyond understanding them.
She collided with a boat during her fall. It seemed that fate, at the very last moment, decided to change her mind. The girl, though left with mental and physical damage, she pulled through thanks to a medical friend of the family. As a result, an incredible scar remains as a reminder of her rebellion. Again, in terms of brain damage, the family know she escaped a terrible fate. She was, however, left somewhat simple-minded. Now a teenager, everything is still a game, there is wonder in every mundane detail. Having little memory of the event, her personality took an extreme turn. She became energetic, childish, joyful and fearless - in a youthful manner.
She still insists on visiting the sea-front - now accompanied by her brother - but does little but pear into rock pools and search for pearls.
CODEWORD: odair
OTHER: - Due to her accident, she is a bit of a nut-case (in a childish, innocent way)
- People call her a freak (naturally) so she has few friends
- She talks to herself A LOT, and has imaginary friends (eg. mermaids that live on the bay, etc.)
- She has an older brother (who is very protective of her), and a younger brother (who doesn't remember the accident well enough to understand her problems). Her mother guts fish while her father catches them. The family is very close-knit and disliked by many in the community
