Personality: Edelweiss is always serious. She never makes any jokes, and prefers to keep to herself over talking. She's been bullied before, and now she doesn't care anymore. She's very deadbeat if you get her to talk, and won't share much. She feels insecure when people talk to her or when she has to talk, and some people even believe she is mute. She hates being put in the spotlight and would make sacrifices to stay in the shadows. She's used to abuse and being treated like nothing, and therefore is not trusting or sympathetic. She likes flowers, like her name, and prefers being alone in the woods or a field than being surrounded by people.

Appearance: Edel has chocolate-brown skin and shaggy black hair that she cuts herself and rarely brushes. Her eyes are dark brown and filled with mistrust. She's 5'5 and has a sturdy body shape. She prefers to wear pastel colors, like flower colors, but will accept neutral colors as well.

Interview Strategy: Edel will talk, but play on the mysterious factor and drop a lot of discreet hints about her past to make her appear more interesting.

Training Strategy: Edel will practice with long range weapons and try to refine her skills in case she gets stuck with one in the games.

Bloodbath Strategy: Edel will circle the cornucopia while picking up the items closest to the plates. She'll try to avoid fighting and any other tributes. If possible, she'll dash in closer to snatch up a weapon.

Games Strategy: She'll stay by herself, sleeping in a tree and creating snares out of sticks to catch food. She's scared of water in large amounts, but needs to stay by a stream in order to drink water.

Reaped or Volunteered: Reaped

Backstory: One cold winter night, at an orphanage in District 11, a small bundle containing a baby Edelweiss was left on the doorstep with a letter. Inside the letter was a note saying her name and a hair pin shaped like a flower. An Edelweiss. She was taken in, but the orphanage keeper was a racist white woman who beat the black and asian children, and the LGBTQ children. Edel grew up being bullied and hit for the smallest things. Failing to pronouce a word. Stuttering. Talking too loud. Eventually, she grew sick of it and stopped talking altogether at the age of 8. She saw this as her only solution. Around age 12, she realized that she felt more romantically close to girls than boys. She was lesbian. But what was their to say? She'd just get another beating. So she told nobody, and went on with her life for three years, until the reaping. Her name was called. There were no volunteers. That was that.
