Basic info
Lizzy "Izzy" Brooks

District 1

age- 16

weapon- Lizzy is very skilled in throwing knives, she usually has very good aim and can throw them at a rapid pace. Lizzy also loves using a sword, she likes how she can be elegant and swift, two key factors in her overall personality and finally she likes to use a light axe, it does not matter if it is a throwing axe but she is very talented with it. Lizzy will not use any other weapons if she has the choice, she would always go for these in the games and she sees other weapons as bad luck to her, her natural ability to be strange really does affect her choice in weapons.

Personality- Lizzy is possibly the most weird and perky girl you will ever meet, she is always saying random things that no one will get. Lizzy will laugh at somthing not funny and she will lose her head at somthing that actaully is funny, usually silence will be broken by Lizzy, you will just hear her laugh. Lizzy it to opposite of lazy, Lizzy is always dragging people along to do things and she will always be jumping around the place, for her just sitting down makes her feel angry. Lizzy is that bright and fun girl who will be either loved or hated by everyone, she will be seen as annoing or just super perky and fun, depeding on the individuals personality. Lizzy is possibly the most confidant girl you will ever meet, she will always say or do things a normal person will regret later on, though, LIzzy is one of those people who seems to have no regrets when they should have loads. LIzzy likes to say what comes to her head, she just can't resist the annoing feeling when she wants to ask a question, it will most likely just come out without her realising it. Lizzy is alot tougher than she looks, she would never go down without a fight and she would never go for a weak link, she believes in honour and pride and if she falls she wants to be happy about it, knowing she was strong and brave. Lizzy is not like the average career though, she lacks the arrogance to be a career, she never knows what her skill is, she is afraid to make a fool of herself, even though she is always saying and doing things that will make everyone think she is insane, but she does not realise this, to her she is compleatly normal. Lizzy is also not an insane killing machine, to her killing is a sin so she tries to avoid it, she will usually tend to aim for the thigh if throwing a weapon at a tribute, she would only kill if she has to beucase she is a a real nice person, it is not an act to trick the tributes. Lizzy would only kill in self-defense or if someone she cares about s about to get hurt, but for an innocent tribute she will just throw her knives in their leg and claim she had got hit in the head with a mace and got confused, and becuase of her wierd personality most people will believe it. One problem with Lizzy is she does not like violent killers, if someone kills she will understand, that is what they have to do but if someone tortures someone she will be the first to jump in a get into a fight, she thinks it is the most evil thing a human can to to another person. Lizzy likes to have at least one or two real friends, people you would always see her around, she thinks it is smart becuase she does not plan on staying in the careers the whole game so she will deicde to leave with them and she will try to protect them with all her power, out of all things Lizzy is a fierce fighter when it comes to protecting loved ones, if someone tries to hurt her 'family' she will go mental, people will not underestimate her when they see this side of her and people will become shocked atr  what this nice and sweet girl has done. Lizzy is against all evil and that will also trigger an evil side to her and she will become a differant person if she sees somthing horrible, Lizzy is a career but if she sees somthing horrible or there is someone evil she will leave, she is not really suited for the careers, but she knows it will help her survive until she can support herself and leave. When Lizzy is in  afight she becomes elegant and swift, fighting is one of the only things she is good at so she loves it and people will see her as a ballerina becuase of her skill and elegance, but when she stops fighting she will be clumsy and ditzy, it is kind of two sided when she is fighting, becuase she loves martial arts.

Skills- Lizzy is an amazing fighter, she knows how to use weapons and she knows how to fight with them, not just with skill, but with elegance and swiftness. Lizzy is very good at making friends and she is perky and fun without trying, she makes people instantly love her and Lizzy is also a very sure girl, she knows what is best for herself and she she is usually right, she considers luck is on her side and has a positive outlook on everything.

Weaknesses- Lizzy is very wierd and perky and this makes people either love or hate her and people will her her positive and fun attitude. Lizzy is also very impulsive, she would do things without a second thought but with not a single regret. Lizzy is also very defensive, she would always do anything to protect her one or two closest friends and she may even get into a fight if a tribute does somthing horrilbe, she is not a real career.

fears- Lizzy, even though being exposed to violence and killing from a very young ge is afraid of killing, she thinks it is a sin and when she kills someone she thinks she has been marked to go to hell, she would always aim to hurt or ingure a tribute to avoid killing and make some wierd excuse that people believe becuase she is so wierd. Lizzy will get upset if she killed an innocent tribute or she was forced to kill a tribute becuase she knows her life is more important to her. Lizzy may never forgive herself is she kills, unless in slef-defense but ti will drive her to make her win for the tributes who lost their lives to her, she wants to be more thn a heartless monster.

Reasons for winning- Lizzy volunteerd for the hunger games, she did it becuase she saw ambition in the games and partly becuase of impulse. Lizzy would love to come home as an important person who is known and loved by everyone. Lizzy knows fighting is all she is really good at and she does not want to let her gift go to waste, she has seen people profit from their talents, cooking, baking or designing so why she she not be able to? Lizzy also does not want to die in the games, that is obvious but she also wants to be able to become somthing better in the games, what i mean is Lizzy is a wierd person and she knows she is in her own little world, but, Lizzy wants to come out of it and to find out the true meaning of life and in the games with death, loss and hope around her she may be able to understand what life is really worth living for,.

Token- Lizzy has a small necklace that shows two cresent swords crossed, these represent power and freedome to her and she loves the fact she thinks she is holding a lucky charm in the games, she loves all those things.

Alliance- to start off the games Lizzy will ally with the careers and remain an important member but in the middle of the games she will leave with two close friends if their users agree (i will send advice on it)

Backstory
Hi, my name is Lizzy Brooks, when i was born it was to a pair of rather rich people, my dad was a trainer for the hunger games and my mom owned a factory where they would sell diamonds. It was a happy life, nice family and friends, everything seemed too perfect. I was not like most district 1 girls, i hated to train for the games, i found it wierd how poeple wouls train to killl other people, it was so wrong. But, the worst part was my dad owned the center so i could do nothing about it, i was usually forced into the center and i was forced to pratice, it sucked, but there was nothing i could do about it. I did make a friend there, Silvia, who did not want to be there like me, little did i know she had a twisted mind and she ruined my life. I was walking with her down the street to traning, we would mostly complain on it but Silvia seemed intent on doing somthing. I remember she told me, tricked me into making the center look bad, so we would throw eggs at it, or at least i would, Silvia would always stay in her home and i had no idea what was in her head. The next day she told me we were going to make the whole place red, i was excited, i was wierd about doing little things, but, i am wierd inside and out.Silvia gave me a molotov cocktail, but i thought it would turn the place red as i threw, it did turn the place red, in flames. I screamed and ran down, hoping to save anyone who was trapped, but, i was too late and the only exit was engulfed in flames. The people inside were screaming and charged out the door, the flames dancing around on their clothes, i saw a tall figure run outside, but he looked all bone, the fames were ripping him open and i knew it was my dad, i then came back to Silvia, knowing what a sadistic monster she was as she laughed as kids ran around in painc. I then jumped on top of her, i felt stronger than i have ever felt before and all i wanted to was to see her body, my hands were wrapped around her throat and i was crying, i did not want to kill anyone, i never wanted to kill anyone and now my dad is dead along with 5 other kids, and it was all her fault, i continued to push harder with my hands until i realised she had gone still, the evil smile off her horrible face. I then got up, i needed to get away from that, all of it. I then ran off into the forest with a few knives i managed to get from the center, hoping to put all this behind me, i was still Lizzy Brooks, i was still positive and fun, but i was scared, scared about what would happen to me, scared about what I had become.

After what seemed like a thousand years in the forest, i think it was just a year, what suprised me was the traning center managed to help me to live, i was able to catch animals with my knife throwing skills, but i would not be doing that anymore, i came back home to my mom. It had turned out my dad did  survive, i was so happy i started to cry, his skin had been ruined and he was missing 3 fingers but he was my dad and all i see is the love inside him. I then told them of how a friend forced me to go with her into the forest for a year but my dad knew it was me who threw the bomb, i was scared he was going to hurt me but he hugged me, that was like opening a candy bar and getting a vegtable, it was a really what moment. He told me i stood for what i believed in and i should be proud, but i was tricked, i never wanted my dad, my own dad to get hurt, that would really suck. I was just happy he was alive, and i was glad Silvia was dead, i also thnk i put her out of her misery, there must have been a monster in her head and i have relesed her from it. So, the first 12 years of my life have been pretty messed up i guess, or really messed up. It then got worse and better in the later years and i was introduced to the reapings. My parents were really excited, so were the kids. I found out they were to pick the tributes at the reapings for the hunger games, and in district 1 the Hunger Games were a big deal. I remember standing there and people screamed i volunteer and i was almost chosen but the wierd looking lady picked an older girl who turned out to win the games. I learnt people would be forced to fight to the death in an arena, now that was nuts, really really nuts, i was almost picked into something i was oblivious about, something that could get me killed.

When i turned 14 i started to go to traning. I started to grow a soft spot for the games as i grew stronger, my dad managed to re-build his center and kids from all over the district came. I then met a boy, his name was Dave, i guess it was pretty stupid how i kinda liked him but it was not one of those angels and stars love stories, i had never confessed my love for him, he was a nice guy but that kinda changed when i was forced to fight him. I was expecting him to go soft on me, i was pretty and i was nice and perky but he was brutal, he punched me and i fought back, it was pretty bloody but i don't get how someone so nice and charming could be so horrible on the inside and i realised he was a manipulator, soft on the outside and like ice on the inside, becuase we were kids me and my two friends decided to make him never want to fight me again, i trained and trained to fight him again and we did, he was beaten by a pretty, small blonde girl, i laughed and walked away, i realised that there was a deeper message, if i could beat him i could be capable of anything, and there was a noise in my head bugging me like a fly in my brain telling me to go into the games, that i would be able to live in them, the truth is i decided i would go in when i was 16, i would run out the crowd before the escort had a chance to choose the girl, it was so exciting! During my 15th year my life went up, i did have a  boyfriend, and he was not a manipulator, i got the full package. I did have friends and i had a happy family, but somthing inside me felt unsatisfied, i wanted to prove myself in the games, to survive and win for my dad, it was his whole life, traning kids for the games, i did almost kill him so it is the least i could do and hopefully i will not die and it is a great way to meet new people. I guess if i live i will also be given fame, and honestly, i am possible the most messed up and wierd girl you will ever meet so they are gonna love me! This is going to be so much fun, i am not here to hurt people, i am in the games so i can find out what life really is, being in somthing where death lurks around every corner it would be nice to know how we should understand life, yes, i know that is no excuse for going into the games but i also want to go in for my family to make them proud and happy. I have to win for them, not for me, for them.

song
Ii chose Taylor Swift's shake it off. I chose this becuase it is a wierd and fun song and that is Lizzy's personality, it is fast and fun and it is talking about how she does not care about what people say and that people underestimate her. It is a fast song and it is great to listen to and unlike many songs today, it is innocent, like Lizzy. it also shows the scenes changing fast and that is very wierd and messed up and basically think of one thing from this song and Lizzy has something to do with it. I also LOVE the song so so much and it is based off Lizzy because she is one of my best tributes :3
