((I'm back! Hooray!))
Character
Name: Zoey Chandler (Zo, to friends and family)
District: 10
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Looks
Race/Ethnicity: African-American
Hair colour: Black, and she usually keeps it in a tight braid.
Eye colour: A deep, piercing aquamarine
Skin colour: Deep brown, but not quite so dark as to look black.
Scars and Birthmarks: Zoey has a long scar wrapping around her left arm, starting below her shoulder and ending in the middle of her forearm. She got it when she was caught stealing food for her family- the peacemaker's whip left it there for all to see. She's rather proud of it, actually, because not many survive the peacemakers in district 10.
Height: 6' 2'' - Zoey is tall for her age, and is based on thin and agile lines.
Accent: She has a slight country accent, but not enough to notice, usually.
General
Weapon Of Choice: A bow, if she can get one, or daggers. She's an excellent marksmen and can hit a target accurately from a fair distance off. She doesn't enjoy it, but if she has to she can use a small amount of martial arts.
Personality: At her best, she is cool-headed and resourceful. At her worst, she is harsh and cruel. Zoey tends to hold grudges for a long, long time. She's a good tactician and strategist, and she tries not to start a fight unless it can't be helped or she knows she's going to win. She won't stand for insults, not to her or to anyone she cares for. And above all, she watches. Even when you don't think she's paying attention. She sits, waits, watches, and uses what she learns for her own purposes. She's not your average social butterfly, either, so don't talk to her unless you have something important to say.
Likes: Animals (cats especially), climbing trees, running.
Dislikes: Careers, rats, losing.
Strengths: Archery, thievery, speed.
Weaknesses: She tends to lose her temper quickly, strength (because she is built on agile lines, not stocky ones), and swimming.
Greatest Fear: Death. She fears dying above all things.
History: When she was nine, her older sister died of pneumonia. Her father was trampled by cows during a thunderstorm-induced stampede when she was ten. Her mother was never a part of her life, although she can recall a motherly presence in her earliest memories. Her father never spoke about her mother, ever. She has a twelve-year-old brother, Max, and she fears that he will be selected for the games because he has already had to sign up for tesserae. She earns her keep by working extra hours in the pastures and by thieving. She was caught once, and has been very careful never to make the same mistake again. She hunts if she can, and sells what she catches on the black market.
Habits: She tends to do small things with her hands when she's nervous, like braiding together long grass stems or tapping out small rhythms on whatever surface is handy. She's also really paranoid when she sleeps, and usually tries to get as high up as she can, so she can more easily defend herself from attackers.
Other: How sweet, the song of the Jabberjay.
((I'd prefer for Zoey to stay alive, but I don't really have a choice in this, do I?))
((Also, I will be creating another character sometime soon.))
