User blog comment:Probably Reading/The Selection Hunger Games/@comment-26976397-20150105230820



Name: Lucinda Renesis

Age: Sixteen

Province: St. George

Gender: Female

Personality:  Lucinda is a very neat girl who needs everything to be picture-perfect at all times. She is very strict, not only on other people around her, but also herself. She is a perfectionist, as well as a clean freak. She doesn't really like human company, and because of this she is very anti-social and inclosed in herself. However, Lucinda is very intellectual and loves to learn more about the world around her, altough she is too terrified of it go to explore it on her own during most of the time. She spends most of her time hanging out with her small number of friends, who consists in only one of them, but she doesn't really trust them, nor cares much about their presence in general during most of their time together, as she doesn't consider herself worth anyone's respect or friendship. She also loves to stay inside and read textbooks, so she can "train" her mind. She is a bit of a snob, and always acts superior and overly intellectual upon meeting new people, thus leading to her two-friended childhood. She isn't a sadist, nor a bloodthirsty girl, altough Lucinda wouldn't think twice, and could even get happy by killing someone who hurt a loved one.

Backstory: Lucinda was Aloysio and Madeva Renesis's first child. They were a happy family, and Lucinda's life was as boring as any other average District 3 girl's on her point of view. While Aloysio and Madeva paid more attention to their work rather than their first born, Lucinda was still a happy child, with loving parents.

She was always a shy girl, who didn't really enjoy talking, altough she had a friend. His name was Sean Scott, and they met once Lucinda entered elementary school.

As children, they would go on little things they took as explorations, although they usually compromised of wandering through the surroudings of the majestic industries of District 3. They took advantage of the fact that they had yet to be scheduled to work in the factories, and grew up as playful and pleasant children. They had various exploits throughout the years, and enjoyed what scintilla of innocence they could prosper with. They had yet to understand exactly what the Hunger Games was, and the impact it caused on the district.

Upon reaching the age of twelve, Lucinda was educated of the Hunger Games and it's history, like any other person in any of the districts and Capitol. She soon grew an interest on the games, and focused on studying them for the rest of that year.

Lucinda's childhood was pretty normal, thus it didn't take part into anything tragical.

During Lucinda's teenage, she became a little more open to new friends, and became good friends with Anisela Terranova, a lanky girl who approached her once.

Lucinda, Anisela and Sean were inseparable, untill something tragical happened.

Sean was reaped. Bile rushed to the back of Lucinda's throat, as she watched her crush make the way to the stage, his hands glued to his side.

Lucinda freaked out. He made it to the final four, where Lucinda couldn't bring herself to watch him struggle with injuries, muttations and career tributes, so she decided to come up with a a plan.

One day, she sneaked up to her father's lab, and stole a small, white package, containing nothing more than money.

But it didn't last long untill her father figured out that she had stolen his money to sponsor a boy she barely knew who went to the games.

She tried to explain that they had more than friendship, but her father ignored her, and slapped her across the face.

Lucinda immediatly started crying. "But i love him! I had to help, or--"

"You should do nothing!"

Her father picked up a whip, and swung it across Lucinda's bare back. He did that again, but Lucinda didn't care anymore.

Everything was frozen. Her family never acted violently towards her, so she didn't cry, nor fought back. She stood there in shock, and allowed her father to whip her back eight more times, before pushing her away.

That moment was when Lucinda started crying.

For the loss of Sean, who died that night; for the violent behaviour of her father; and for everything on her life.

She tries not to think of it as the days advance, but the ten scars on her back will always remind her of her past.

Weapon(s): Blowgun, poison

Appearance: Lucinda is mostly a child-ish looking girl. She has thick, voluminous chestnut brown hair that goes all the way down to her shoulders. She is the pure definition of a frail person, standing at 5 feet and five inches. Lucinda is fair-skinned, being slightly more pale around the face region, and has clean, thin eyebrows that hover over her pure emerald eyes, thus her pupils often dialating whenever she is frightened or happy for some reason.

Her face is clear of any scars, due to her always acting like the lady she is supposed to be, something quite rare for most girls from the low mid-class district she lives in. Even though she wasn't that rich, she managed to keep a decent appearance for all the years of her life. She resembles a glass doll, being frail and small, plus having a rather pale skin tone.

Reasons for Winning: She doesn't really care about coming back as a personal goal, as she dislikes herself as a person, blaming herself for everything bad that happened to her life. She wants to win so she can come back to her friend, the only person who truly respects her. She would also like to come back to prove her parents that she is worth their time. Even though her father's money was what kept her mother and herself alive, if she wins she will apply her victory gains on providing a better life for her mother, away from her father. She also thinks that being with the prince might help to make her forget about her past.

Dominant Hand: Even though Lucinda is a left-handed, she uses her right hand for pretty much everything, to look normal. This is something very small, and she wouldn't be bullied or made fun of for being left-handed, altough she is a perfectionist, and tries to look prepared and normal all the time.

Fear(s): Lucinda never went through something that can really leave a mental scar. Even though once she've been through a beating, that is something she fights to forget, thus not allowing herself to fear it. She fears deep waters, since she never swam in her life, and if she tried to she would be disastrous, kicking and flapping her arms around trying to reach for anything she can hold onto. Never having any experience with animals, Lucinda fears canines in general, and interprets them as brutal creatures. Last of all, she fears the feeling of pain. She can't imagine pain being inflicted on her body, and she is very child-ish and coward when she has to deal with fights, as she can't see mere drops of blood from an ordinary cut leaving her veins and falling onto a surface.
