Erica Edwards, 16

District 3

Female

Erica prefers to be lazy and slack off, rather than use her remarkable intelligence to her fullest, and only uses it in dire situations. She has a great sense of humour, is incredibly mature and has exceptional social skills. Under stressful situations, she still manages to stay calm, only leaving faint traces of anxiety. She comes across as someone with a big heart and someone who acts very maternal towards their friends.

You wouldn't recognize Erica in elementary school. She wasn't always the loud-mouth she is today. Instead, she was a cold person who simply cared about their grades, nothing else. Day to day, her selfish thoughts would slowly eat at her. Envy, greed, pride, that as the recurring theme of her brain. She didn't have anything. She didn't have the love of her parents, rather she got pressure and hate. She didn't have the rebellious nature of Caspian's, nor the innovation of Rosalind's and barely the wealth of the Idywylds. This was her life, until she met Kyle & Lila. Kyle and Lila were her neighbour's parents, and quite gentle parents too. They would do all sorts of creative activities, and they would come up with new ones by the minute. She found the love and compassion that she had never received from her parents. Erica started opening up to them, and they listened. Slowly, Erica was transforming into an optimist, and she had even become friends with her neighbor, Donna. But it all came crashing down when Donna was reaped for The Hunger Games. Erica turned to see the expressions on her parents' faces and it was devastating. She didn't want them to be empty. They were too happy for it to happen to them. So Erica volunteered. She sadly said farewell to her family, and left for the brutal Hunger Games.

Knife and Rope.

She wants to win so that she can return to her happy family, but she wants to do that without harming anyone, if possible.
