Name:{ I love putting a bit of thought to the names of characters. But when I saw her, I decided on the name 'Rue'. Her name has multiple meanings, which is much like her personality. That's why I thought it was so perfect.
I'll start with the original definition. Rue means to regret something bitterly. Say if a music producer turned down star talent that later made lots of money, the producer might be rueful of his decision.
Another meaning of Rue is fame, notorious. This was the name meaning, and it says that the child or character would be famous, usually for something bad. The wrong reasons. This name has a German origin.
The French word Rue, also means street. It might be a good name to define a person who is a bit of a seedy character.
And finally, if of have read the Hunger Games, or seen the movie, you would know that it has one more meaning at very least. It is a type of evergreen shrub, and is also mentioned in Shakesphere's Hamlet.
These various meanings reflect her personality as you'll see. }
Gender:{ Well, Rue has always been defined as a girl name. I believe it has more of a feminine quality, so I will say female. }
Personality:{ Well, I want to put Rue as an innocent looking character. She is rather shy upon first meeting. She never would meet your gaze, and looks rather angelic. And for the most part, she is this blameless girl, truly lovely to be around. But after you start to trusther?
Beyond the first glance, in her own mind, Rue is very self-reliant. She thinks of herself as sneaky, sly, independent. Of course, she is extremely loyal to her friends, but she can do some selfish things as well. She is wary of strangers, she has been like this her entire life. It's instinct for her, really, you can't blame her. If you were to catch her red-handed, she would look guilty, remorseful, and even sorry. Don't let this mask fool you, she is just trying to squeeze out of a tough situation.
Like one of her name-definitions, she is street-smart. She does what she has to to get by, and if that means thieving, she will. Like a Racoon, she is a bandit, and loves shiny things. It's an obsession almost, so hide your aluminum foil, silverware and other polished objects. She has quite a large stash hidden away, and she will defend it with her life. It is a strange hobby,but if she gets it, she won't let it go.
Besides her seemingly clean side as well as her sly side, she can be a really nice friend. She has a slight problem with sharing, but she is trying to get over this. Though some of her intentions are for herself, she will do the exact same for the people she trusts. When she does trust someone, she does wholeheartedly. Betraying her will lead to hate, and leave her feeling rather boxed up. She hates people who do that, it makes her feel unsafe. But her flip side is a loyal friend to the end.
You wouldn't be remorseful for trusting Rue. If she can do the same for you, you shall find an unbreakable bond. }
