Violet Acorn

Backstory
I scamper up the tree excited and ready to leave the fields. I sound the bell and rush down. We stand into a line and place our work equipment into the wooden barrels. As I run home the beads of sweat drip down my forehead and slide off the bridge of my nose. Its boiling, the lack of sun cream burnt my skin. I sit in the rocking chair outside my house and begin to scratch, its too hot and my mother isn't back from shopping.

So i'm currently starving and itching, my mother finally returns when it turns midday. "Do you know what time it is?!" she screams at me, everyone living around me stops what their doing and they begin to stare. I would shout at them to mind there own business but my words come out all wrong. "Stop looking guys" they look shocked. One man forces a grin and turns away, the others follow. Wow, I did it spoke in public. My mother doesn't look as impressed as me.

"Get your dress on!" she shrieks. Its the day of the reaping and of course my mother is overreacting, as usual. She is so rude and doesn't understand the pain I am going through, I could die and she doesn't even care. I storm away not realising its the last time I will see her.

Trivia
-Before the reapings Violet lived in a family of 3 (her mother, father and her.)

-When Violet was younger it was her job to climb a tree and signal the workers the day was done.

 Backstory Facts 

-Violet's family is very poor, so one day Violet stole some grain from the orchards. She came home to see two Peace Keepers at her door for public whipping. Eventually a 15 year old boy spoke up, he obviously got whipped to. She thanked the boy took him to the nurse and went home. She felt a lot of guilt which eventually turned into anger.

-Violet's dad

was nearly murdered by a vicious neighbour, Violet saw the man walk in so she hid under her bed. Luckily her dad survived, but this lead to violet having a fear of shadows in the dark.
