Name: Iris Bane
Age: 17
Gender: Female
District/Area: 7
Appearance:
Iris has plain dirty blonde shoulder length hair, that was often tied up in a messy ponytail, to keep out of her face whenever she was working or training if she were to ever be picked for the games. Her hair is often more times than not very dry from being out in the sun all day long. She had these remarkable piercing sky blue eyes, her mother always told her they were a sign of water, always on the move and changing those around them.
She has a short cute button nose that didn’t take up to much of her face unlike the rest of her family, she had pale pink plump lips and a small scar just on the tip of her bottom lip from what she claimed was a working incident. Though there was little truth behind that claim. She has pronounced cheek bones and soft doe like eyes, which often match the soft quietness of her voice, like near velvet whenever she does talk.
She is a fairly strong girl she could lift maybe 50 pounds before her arms would give out on her, which was contrary to her appearance, standing at only 5’6 and 115 lbs herself. She was a skinny, slender girl, of average height. In that she is a rather fast runner, and enjoys doing such every morning when she wakes up.
Iris is a fairly beautiful girl, even though she herself doesn’t think so. She’s always found herself to be quiet average in terms of her appearance. She is quite modest. Though she is far from perfect, as she has been known to lie, steal and manipulate peacekeepers to get whatever it is she needs, to survive of course. Her skin even though it’s as pale a light tan in color often hiding the light acne on her face. Leaving people to think it is either sun spots of freckles.
For all her niceness she does have a tenancy to become quite nasty when cornered, she can become brazen and rude when she feels attacked. Traits that upon first meeting her one would never see coming from the shy girl. She is often seen in either black jeans or black leggings, with a dark off grey tank top with a large plaid dress shirt (often an old men’s shirt) over top, with a pair of worn black boots.
Personality:
Iris is fairly reserved and quiet natured, often keeping to herself as much as she can. Though she has a soft spot in her heart for broken things and small children. She can often be seen as sweet, innocent and caring. Where as yes, she is kind, thoughtful and caring… she is also prone to angry outbursts, filled with sadness and quite an introvert… an outcast if you will.
She finds it very hard to trust others and often keeps to herself, though those that do manage to break through her walls would say she is incredibly loyal, honest and protective. She would die for someone she loves or cares for, the thought of dying is not something new to her either.
She would never admit it but one of her biggest downfalls is that she is indecisive; she will go along with something right up until something inside her tells her its a bad idea. Though she would just walk away from the situation with no words or warning. She likes to be seen as a bad girl and will act accordingly even though it’s really not who she is on the inside. Fear of being alone or lonely is absolutely why she does this.
History:
Iris grew up in a pretty broken home, that meaning her parents often fought leaving her and her younger brother to fend for themselves; helping each other with their school work, meals and practicing for the games should they ever be reaped. Districts who weren’t careers rarely ever trained leaving them vulnerable in the games. A thing Iris was never planning on being.
She suffers from crippling depression and anxiety due to the lack of love in her home. She often masks this with anger, or by acting tough when she is in fact fragile on the inside and confused. Misunderstood. Since the last games she has grown more and more angry towards the capital, thinking the entire thing is a sham to keep the districts from growing past their use to them.
Iris began acting out, stealing and causing mischief, becoming more rude. Things she was not, her grades in school have begun to suffer as has the few friendships she has. She is the kind of girl who would volunteer to become a tribute, make allies based on feelings, and sacrifice herself for others.
She managed to get tattoos on her arms and back, mostly things of nature and one the symbol of her district on her wrist. She got in trouble for it of course, though she knew it was worth it. It was something the capital couldn’t take from her. (Anything else about her would probably come out in the games or as she gets to know people.)
