Name: Emilia Oswald

Gender: Female

City: Santo Dominigo (she was on vacation there when she was reaped.)

Age: 15

Personality: At first glance, Emilia can seem a little hot-headed and sarcastic, but over time, she becomes more kind to others. As well, Emilia is rather quick-witted.

Backstory: Well, I wasn't originally from the Dominican Republic, and I certainly didn't sign up to take place in a death match. But, knowing me, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

So, to start off my history, I was born in a place known as Canada. It was springtime when I was born, and there were lots of pretty flowers around. I never knew my birth father due to him dying during my mother's pregnancy with me.

I had a fairly normal childhood, growing up in the Canadian prairies and experiencing ten different weather conditions in a week. Through my schooling years, I was deemed to be above average intelligence in my school, but I had no trouble sassing the jock guys in my school God they're annoying...

Anyways, in my school years, I had a best friend named Jenna (SHOUTOUT TO @purebloodprat on Pinterest for being the character prompt as the best friend. You're awesome Jenna :). The two of us were sassy together and inseperateable. Though, our friendship was at it's closest when we were signed up to be exchange students in the Dominican Republic.

The two of us spent three months in the Dominican, touring around the island and seeing the different reality that existed there. One day, my friend Jenna and I decided to get some Cheerios and were munching on them as the two of us came to a halt in the town square. We listened in, and apparently, they were choosing people for some life or death contest. After what seemed like forever, the announcer called up the name of their female envoy.

"Emilia Oswald!"

I looked at Jenna shocked and confused for a moment, before I cleared my throat and handed Jenna my churros

"Make sure they're still hot when I come back from this damn competition." I smile and walk on the stage, having no clue what the hell to expect.
