Name: Aurora SpencerEtymology: Aurora - A village in Cayuga county  / Spencer - A village in Tioga countyGender: FemaleCity: New York CityReaped/Volunteered: Volunteered to save mostly her family but also her city.Age: SeventeenPersonality: Aurora is an independent girl who has gone through so much in her life. Kindness and love aren't usually things she visits often unless you're apart of her core family. Her emotions aren't the easiest to be controlled. Her mood swings sometimes causes her to lash out at people or do things she shouldn't. Aurora often conceals her true self to any of her friends and tries to act as tough as possible. She if actually very caring but feels that if she shows her true colors, no one will take her as seriously. To put it shortly, she's a strong and tough person who's afraid of being used.Backstory: A day without an obstacle that is hard to overcome isn't something that comes to Aurora and her family easily. Living life with a low income has forced her, the eldest child of the three, to steal and do whatever she can help support the family along with her parents. Her life choices haven't been the most positive and she has previously joined a gang of children who fight for territory and all also steal for survival. Being apart of this gang, killing isn't something that she hasn't seen before. Many of her friends have been killed when fighting with other gangs and she has also participating in a few kills herself. This isn't something she was proud of, and she eventually found a way out, but the things she stole did help her family in hard times. However, this experience did have it's positives. Aurora gained many new abilities such as fighting, defending, concealing weapons, and running fast.Aurora has been a highschool dropout for about two years. School just wasn't something that allowed her to help her family. Dropping out of school didn't help Aurora's intelligence much. She can't use nature to save her life and swimming isn't something she is used to, coming from the city. Her family consists of her mother, the Korean side of her family, her father, who was born and raised in New York City, and her two younger siblings, a girl and a boy. (Briannah and Kaleb.) Aurora has been affected by the toxic gas which kills one-tenth of the population. She has lost her brother, Gavin, her grandmother, two cousins, and an uncle. Because of this, Aurora feels that it's her duty to protect her family and city like other winners of the Reduction Games. Appearance: Aurora has rather pale skin which rarely burns. Her hair is an auburn color and is usually done in a side ponytail. It can be very hard to manage because it's semi-curly, but she makes it work. Her small hazel eyes give her a sense of vulnerability but vulnerable is the last way she wants to be described. Aurora comes from a Korean-American family and fits the role quite nicely. She is pretty tall at nearly six-feet and has an athletic build although it might not look like it. Her nails are usually decorated depending on her mood and are quite long, sometimes she even uses her nails in fights. Aurora is a beautiful girl who will probably make you turn your head to glance at least once more.Height: 5'10" / 6'11.5" with her signature black boots.Preferred Weapon(s): Small blades weapons such as knives, throwing knives, and small swords are her favorite weapons to use. In her opinion, they are easy to maintain, conceal, and travel with. She often uses her fists back at home in many fights. She also uses her long nails to injure people at times.Strengths: Hand-to-hand combat, very keen eyesight, stamina, and durability. (Can do many other things but not as well.)Weaknesses: Mood swings, swimming, confidence, allergies, and intelligence of nature. (Same as strengths, many things are difficult but not as much as the things listed.)Fear(s): Losing her family and not making it back home. Other than that, Aurora doesn't have much strong fears due to her harsh living conditions. She does, however, have the typical small fears of arachnids and similar things. Heights have never scared her much since she sees skyscrapers all the time, but extremely high places do freak her out a bit, like mostly everyone else.Token: A golden bracelet that opens up and reveals pictures of Aurora's family. She will use this to both remember her family and to look at it a couple times to know who she is fighting for.Interview Angle: Aurora will look her best for the viewers and hopefully they'll like her better because of this. She'll also make a few jokes now and then to let the viewers know that she is also a funny person. At the end of the interview, she'll let the viewers grab some tissues once she tells her long sob story about the fight to save both her family and her city this year.Bloodbath Strategy: Here is where everything matters. The short battle to grab supplies that has many victims is vital. A plan must be made by herself and her allies in training. Everyone must know who protects who, who gets what, and who kills who. This is the time to eliminate any competition in the Games. Although her alliance will most likely take over the left over supplies, just in case, she'll grab a backpack, but after that it's all about weapons and killing. Games Strategy: Most of her strategy revolves around the Bloodbath since the Bloodbath is basically life or death. The rest of the Games will mostly be Aurora traveling around with her alliance and taking out the rest of the competition. She'll try to get her partner to help her kill off the alliance slowly once only a few Envoys remain. Any funny business with the plan and she'll make sure that they aren't able to take another breath. Unfortunately, killing isn't that much of a new experience for Aurora. A huge challenge will be killing anyone younger then herself, but she knows it must be done and will do it anyway. The deaths of any younger tributes in her hands will be as quick as possible. Anyone around her age would probably be killed normally. And anyone who messes with her will surely have a gruesome end.Alliance: The Envoys that have volunteered, unless they're weak. Aurora would try to convince her partner to make a pact and protect each other. She knows that if she doesn't survive, and he doesn't either, her family will be at risk of being killed too. However, if it's down to the last two, it's survival of the fittest.
