Lacey Weavers district 8 Textile
Everyone thinks of 8, as nothing, as easy targets. However Im not. Im 17 and I have strengths that arent to be overlooked. And weaknesses like everyone, but not as many as you'd think. Oh yeah, call me Lace if you must. It sounds not as weak as Lacey, I think I like it better. As for personality, Im a tomboy despite my looks and am quiet and mostly unsocial. I have no allies and do not plan on any just yet, and as for a love life? Forget it, you capital stranger. Me in love? Ha, I've seen one boy here I like, but he's too focoused on winning and being a career to notice the quiet girl from 8, me. And no boy awaits me back home or even likes me for the matter. Only my family loves me, so theres no one speacual to keep fighting for.
If you cannot see already, Im pale and have dark long hair. I dont try to stand out in my dressings and have no clue what my stylist will have me wearing. But since this picture doesnt show it, I have blue eyes. And I almost never give a smile from happiness. I know, forget getting a sponser, I already have.
You think I'm going to give out these secrets?! No, but my mentor did say to list a few of the ones considered weak and useless. So, I'm fairly good at camoflauge, hiding, and being as silent and careful as possible while being quick, and clever. As for weapons I have practice with a bow and arrow, but no it's not my ideal weapon.. an axe or knife is, and I'm practically an expert at using both. In 8, we have to be delicate and they send me and the young people to fetch materials from the woods. So I have been to the woods in snow or cold, rain or shine I've had to scale trees and collect all sorts of things. As for weakness, I have not much strength and have bad sense of direction and cannot handle heavy weapons like swords or tridents well.
History, simple. My mother works, my father works, and my two older brothers...well Rowan works. But Oaken, he's...lets backtrack a bit. My father used to hunt until I was born, then he had to find work to provide for us better. My oldest brother and the second oldest, Rowan and Oaken knew how to hunt and took up the task of it. Until Rowan outgrew the games and had to find work when he married this one girl-she's nice alright, but it meant Oaken had to hunt for me and our baby twin brother and sister and parents while working with me. This lead to me being alone alot, peacekeepers were suspious and one day he got a buck and came to show me it, and a peacekeeper came and with one my brother was gone. I taught myself to hunt, Im not nearly as good as my older brothers so each year since I've put in tesera and this year my name was in the drawing a whole 67 timed. A lot, and I fear if Im drawn how will my family survive? My baby brother and sister, Steel and Lilac, will starve and me being more of a tomboy loner type means I have no friends to look to, look to feed my family. Anyways, thats enough of that.
