Lia Skyward

Information
Name: Lia Skyward

District: 6

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Physical Description: Tall and skinny with a few muscels perfect for sprinting and running. She has long black hair, that is wavy but not curly, and it flows down her back and reaches her navel. She has quite tanned skin and warm nutbrown eyes. She's quite pretty, but will probably have a hard time convicing anyone she's a threat in the games.

Personality: The best word to decribe Lia is: helper. She is always ready to use time on helping other even if they don't want her to/ ask her to. She will gladly lose a limb to save a friend, but sometimes she willing to sacrefice a little too much for her own good. She has a friendly attitude but can be defernetly be serious when needed. Lia isn't really shy but she prefers to meet a few people and be with them instead of a lot at ones. She try her best to be kind, but may sometimes be too kind for her own good. Although she is friendly she don't talk too much mostly cause Dawn's death have still left scars on her. She wants to protect everyone. Eventhough she's helpful and friendly, she's also quite mature after having to take care of Dawn for long. She became her new mother and matured beyond her age because of that.

Backstory: She lived in the house in district 9 with her pregmant mother and her 3-year-old sister, Dawn. Her mother died while delivering and the baby did not survive. That left Lia, who was only 14 all alone with her sister. Because of the fact that most of the communety homes where already more than filled up the goverment decided to give her two options: Move to a communetyhome, or stay in her house and take care of her sister. Although it would be easier for her to just live in the communety home for a few years she knew how they would treat Dawn and she knew that neither Dawn or herself could not live with that so she decided that she would live with her in their house. She signed up as a orchard protecter where she would shoot predators that would try to get into the orchage. It brought in some money but hardly enough. She would also, when she had time work as a "runner", delievering groceries and such to people who were too lazy to go out and buy them themself. She managed till survive 2 years when Dawn got very ill and died in less than a week. Lia was completely destroyed by it and pretty much went all down to the lowest point. She ended up moving to district 6, simply cause 9 reminded for too much of Dawn. She was put in a mental institution for some months and then finally got out. She beagn using her bow and arrow to hunt in the forest to get her thoughts away from Dawn and death. She would sometimes wake up in the middle of night, unable to sleep and just run out of her house, run and run and run until the grieve faded. She signed up for adopting two other children a week before the reaping. She was reaped before she actually reach meeting the children she was supposed to adopt but will do everything to get back to them.

Weapon:  In the orchards, as a protector them, Lia would always use a spear to fight off animals who would destroy the crops. They were good cause even if the animal got close to her she could still use the spear to fight in melee. Lia is very talented with a '''Bow and arrow. '''After Dawn died, she used a lot of her time in the woods hunting to get her mind on something else, and so got quite talented using one.

Skills: Lia's body is made for running. She outspeeds almost everyone, even the boys can't seem to catch up to her. Lia enjoys running too, it helped her get through her sorrow with Dawn, as it made her mind focus on something else. Another one of her skills is climbing. She seems to, just like with running be very quick at using her strength to get up on different things. Last, she's also very good at dodging, both while running and just in combat do to her fast reflexes.

Weaknesses; Lia isn't very coldhearted which is a great problem, and has a very hard time killing anyone unless she was in direct combat with them. If she passed by someone who was sleeping or had not seen her she probably won't be able to kill them cause of her personality. Although she can kill if her life depends on it, she would never kill a 12 year-olds. Lia thinks it's horrible to kill someone, and killing someone who aren't even a prober teenager yet is too much for her. Also, Lia isn't strong but isn't weak either, yet she has a very hard time in Hand to hand combat. It's just too creepy for her. Firing an arrow through someone's heart is one thing, killing someone with your bare hands is another. Also her skinny body works as a disadvantage as she isn't that strong.

Strategy: She is very fast so she will in the bloodbath go in to get a bow or a spear, whatever is futherest away from the cornucopia. She will run in, and try her best to be quick so that she's gone before the careers reach the cornacopia and starts to kill. She will run to the woods and climb a tree then climb futher away. She will climb all day in the woods never staying one place for more than one hour unless she will sleep there
