APPEARANCE
My name, Spear, is a good way to describe my appearance. I’m quick, my movements are sharp, and I’m rather thin. Strength and agility are two things that I definitely posses. I’m athletic, and I’m a rather good swimmer. I can climb trees and am good at getting through obstacles. I feel like all of these things would be rather useful for me, should I end up in the Games.
The hair that’s on my head is blonde, but not as obviously so as some of my siblings’ hair color. All except for my younger siblings who are twins of one another, Charm and Hex, have blonde hair in my family. Those two have darker features than the rest of us. My eyes continue the tradition of a light blue like the majority of my family, and lines can be seen on my face when I smile. I have somewhat fuller lips than I would like, and my face is a bit round, without much for cheekbones. My light colored eyebrows hide behind the shield of hair that rests on my forehead.
I’m not the most muscular person, despite being strong and athletic. I assume this is because I’m rather lightweight. I’m neither significantly short nor tall, and I don’t mind being of the average height that I am. My clothing choice is generally casual, and I’m not one to dress up in collared shirts or other things of the like unless necessary. When I choose what I’m wearing, I prefer to choose things that will be more comfortable for me to do my training in.
Due to all of the training that I do, I have a lot of bruises and scars on my body. I’ve been hurt and scarred with knives a few times, and lost the tip of my right ear in a knife fight with another boy in the District. Luckily, in the end, that was the only permanent injury that remained on me. The other boy, however, didn’t look as good afterward, with quite a few scars still remaining on his face. I find that it’s best for me not to worry too much about my appearance, seeing as I’m training for the Games, and would rather be seen as attractive for my strength and skill, rather than my physical appearance.
PERSONALITY
’Sharp’ is a word that one could definitely use to describe me when referring to my intelligence. I’ve been told that I’m very quick-witted and usually know what I’m talking about. When it comes down to it, I love a good debate. I’m someone who will argue for hours on end to make my point, as I don’t back down easily. Extremely self-confident, some people tell me that I’m a bit full of myself and that I don’t know when to shut up and admit that I’m wrong. Of course, I don’t see when I’ve been wrong. I never really see myself as making mistakes. Okay, well, everyone makes mistakes, I just hate admitting to mine.
As I said, admitting to my mistakes is very difficult for me, making it so that I tend to get very angry when people tell me I’ve done something wrong. I have a strong urge to be in the Hunger Games so that I can show people that I won’t mess up, and that I don’t mess up. If I could prove to others that I’m strong and that I know what I’m talking about, I’d be extremely happy. I am often a lot more happy if people agree with me and don’t try to shoot down my ideas or opinions. I hate to admit when I’ve done something incorrect or stupid, so I will often be in denial of it. I never like to think of myself as guilty of things, either.
I’ve fought with others a lot, whether it’s with words, fists or knives. I usually come out on top, and if I don’t, I tend to get even more angered. With how easily angered I am when I’m told that I’m wrong or that I lost, I’m sure that I wouldn’t be afraid to take down anyone I’d need to in order to win the Hunger Games. I think the only people I wouldn’t kill to win the Hunger Games would be my own sisters. I’ve never been the relationship type, though I do like to flirt, which may seem a bit strange. Flirting for me is like a game. I ask myself, how far can I get the other person to fall for me until they realize that I’m not actually interested in a relationship?
HISTORY
The Jinx family is rather large, with many children. I have nine siblings, which would seem crazy to most people. The reason there are so many of us is perhaps because of how badly my parents want one of their children to become a victor. I have three sisters and six brothers. Hex and Charm are twins, Dragon, Griffin and Serpent are triplets, and then there’s’ Pheonix, Spell, Ares and Curse. I’m a bit of a loner in the family, though, because I like to train on my own, not associating with the rest of the family too much, aside from Curse and Phoenix.
During the majority of my younger childhood, I had a lot of friends, which may seem to come as a surprise with my know-it-all attitude towards things. It’s true, however, that only a few of those friends have carried over to be the friends that I have now. My friends and I have always liked to go training together or do something athletic outside, like racing one another. I’m not someone who usually stayed indoors as a kid, and would generally want to be outside all of the time. Now, it doesn’t bother me as much to be inside, although I still do prefer the outdoors.
It’s not unusual to find me training on my own. Although, on occasion, my parents will make some of us train together. Usually, it’s Charm, Hex and I, since we’re closest in age, though. Charm and I don’t always get on the best, as she’s a bit full of herself. We argue a lot over who is doing better, and who would survive longer in the Games. In all honesty, I have the feeling that some of my siblings wouldn't be afraid to kill me if we ended up in the Games together.
