Melanie Carter
District:: Seven
Age:: Fifteen
Gender:: Female
Appearance:: Thoughtful
Personality:: Mel tends to be a talkative person. She rarely, if ever, gets into fights with people. Normally she can work her way around fighting, which she dislikes. She can be flirty when she wants to, but in the Games she will probably only find a crush if she thinks she can use him. She never wants to hurt anybody, physically or mentally, and will spend a lot of time thinking about what other people think or will think about what she says and does.
History:: Mel is the youngest of four children. Her family has always been very close, and one of their greatest fears was for any of them to be in the Games. One of Jake's friends, Danny, was brought into the Games. In a stroke of luck he managed to win, and now he is Melanie's mentor. Through school and in her work Mel has always been a well-liked person. She excelled in school, but unfortunately District 7 is not really a place for great education. She started to work with wood to help support her family, and even thought she wasn't the best logger there, she was still very good.
Family:: According to age, her father, her mother, Jake, and her twin sisters, Ellen and Victoria. The twins had always been close with one another, but they still looked out for Mel. They had talked her out of a few tough situations in her younger years at school. Mel had always looked up to Jake when she was young. The way he looked after everybody was a trait that she wanted in herself. Her mom had been the one that Mel would go to when she needed to talk. Mel probably knew her father the worst, but he would always be her father. He was the one that worked the most to help keep the family afloat.
Crush/Boyfriend/Girlfriend:: None
Alliance:: ((Are they in the career pack? Have they formed other Alliances? Leave this spot blank if you aren't a career, then fill it in after the bloodbath for 2 sponsor points. If your character lives.))
Strengths::
FitnessBeing from District 7, Mel has spent most of her life chopping down trees with axes and carrying wood around. This life has made her very physically fit. She can lift heavy objects, and run faster than most.
KnowledgeDistrict 7 has provided Mel with a pretty broad knowledge of nature. She had learned a lot about edible plants, and different uses for certain trees. She also has a a better grasp on animals than most, from being in nature so often.
Short-Range WeaponryThe last thing that District 7 taught Mel is how to use an ax. If she found one, her chances in the Games would greatly increase. With her knowledge of axes, she is also pretty sure that if she was handed another close-range weapon, she would do well.
Weaknesses::
RisksNo risk, no reward? More like no risk, no repercussions. Mel generally hates taking risks, in a fear that everything will go horribly wrong. Especially in the arena, when her life is on the line, she will not want to take risks.
Long-Range WeaponryMel has never gotten near a bow, throwing knives, or any other weapon that she could use from a distance, except maybe throwing axes. She could try with them and probably have some success, but they will not be nearly as effective as any other weapon.
EmpathyMelanie absolutely does not want to hurt anybody. She can't even imagine killing anybody. If she has to kill to keep her life, she will, but she won't want to go after anybody and try to kill them.
Codeword:: The codeword is a lie...
Daniel Baker
Age:: 22
Gender:: Male
Games:: Danny won the 15th Games, when he was 14.
Personality:: Danny is generally carefree. Sometimes it can be hard for him to be serious. He tends to crack a lot of jokes, at not necessarily the best times.
Rellia Estabres
Age:: 24
Gender:: Female
Experience:: Last year an aspiring young Rellia was accepted into her first Games. Since she generally likes bright color, she was slightly disappointed to get District 7. Last year she played with the texture of tree bark to create a suit and dress that captured the eye.
Personality:: Most people would consider her to be a typical Capitol stylist. She is very driven and always wants her design to stand out, like any other stylist. Deep inside though, there is an underlying hint of how much Rellia wants to help her tribute succeed.
Ritzkalla O'Lander
Age:: 28
Gender:: Female
Personality:: Ritzkalla is an experienced part of the prep team. She laughs a lot, and generally loves to have fun. She'll try and crack jokes, most of which only make sense to her, but she can still generally make the atmosphere in the room a lot lighter.
Jerol Viben
Age:: 20
Gender:: Male
Personality:: Jerol originally wanted to be a a stylist for the Games, but failed to qualify, and was instead offered the job of being on the prep team. He accepted, but because his biggest dream was taken away from him, he isn't very happy about it. Jerol will still work hard, but he isn't as excited as he could be.
Lavendo Gundil
Age:: 23
Gender:: Female
Personality:: Lavendo is somewhat quiet, but she is very excited to be on the prep team for the Games. Some people see her as strange, but she is just very unique. She is driven and wants to do her best.
