Name: Khrysti Ox
Age: 17
Gender: Female
District/Area: District 10
Appearance:
Khrysti has always had long hair which drops to about her breast and often curls slightly. Her eyes are a deep blue, but often look green from different angles. She stands short, approximately 4'9", which always leaves her on the short side of life. People often tease her about her height.
Surprisingly, due to her height, Khrysti lets off an intimidating vibe to most of those around her. She always has a stern look on her resting face, but tries to get rid of it as soon as she catches herself making a negative face. She puts on a bubbly appearance when she is in public, and has a hop to her step. This is to allow others to know she isn't the intimidating girl they think she is.
Personality:
As Khrysti wants the best for everyone, she still doesn't have any trouble killing people if she were reaped. Though, she never actually imagined herself winning a battle, due to her inferior height and strength, she still thinks she would have no trouble if she actually managed to do it. There is no telling what Khrysti is capable of if she actually was powerful enough to overcome an opponent. She hates the whole idea of The Games, as do most residents of the districts.
There are times where Khrysti would lay in her bed at night and just cry. This is not due to any specific reason or past event. It is simply because she has major depression. She can't afford any counseling or treatments of any kind, so she has to just let it all out on her own time. Unfortunately, sometimes it's not on her own time that the tears start. Sometimes she can't stop it.
The depression started when she was about 11, but Khrysti feels like she has always been this way. Some part of her feels incomplete, and she knows it will never get better. Not without the help she needs. The glass will always be half empty.
Lately, Khrysti has been doing a little better with her depression, but it is almost as if she is holding it all inside. Who knows when it could come bursting out, and what could happen when it does? She has anger inside of her, and one day that anger will come rushing out like a flood of tears and perhaps even violence.
History:
When Khrysti was born, her parents were not ready for a child. They didn't know how they would be able to afford one, and thus, Khrysti was born into a world of a lower class district family. She knew she was the cause of her family being so poor once she reached a mature age, and she has never forgiven herself. To her, she is the child her parents never wanted. To her parents, she is the miracle which was born as a happy accident.
As she grew older, she did not grow taller. She was teased and bullied through the city by other teenagers. Her parents tried to tell her being short was okay, but she did not believe them. She knew being short may help in the Games at times, but without height, it's tough to get strength. If he had one wish in life, it would be to be taller.
There is no one way to explain Khrysti's adolescant years. Though, if it had to be put into one word, it would be 'alone'. Khrysti has felt alone since a certain incident devistated her whole family: The miscarriage of her younger sibling. Khrysti was 11 when this happened, so it may have been a contributing factor to her depression elevating. Though, it was not the main reason. When Khrysti's sibling passed, she knew she would be alone forever. All she had were her parents, and no siblings. The brother or sister she always asked for did not make it, and that was that.
Every year when The Reaping comes along, Khrysti fears she will be chosen. She has absolutely no positive outlook on The Hunger Games, and knows if she were to be entered, she would die almost immediately. She usually sits at home the night before The Reaping and cries her eyes out. That day of the year is the day she lets it all out.
