Misty Honeysuckle ~ District 12

Name: Misty Honeysuckle

Gender: Female

Age: 14

District:  12

Weapon: Very good with a sword, and fairly proficient with a blow gun.

Appearance:

Short and lithe, with long, strawberry blonde hair that just surpasses her chest, sky blue eyes that are nearly always filled with mischief, pale skin, and a nice smile.

Strengths/skills:

Very good with a sword, as her father believed that since she'd entered for tesserae - which she kept quiet for quite some time, as she knew it would worry him no end - she should be prepared for the possibility that she did get reaped, so he started to train her up in his spare time, till she became very good.

Headstrong and confident, she has a good, intelligent head on her shoulders, being able to tell what's edible and what's not, as well as being a very nimble, swift runner.

Also fairly good at being silent and creeping up on people, as well as distraction techniques, as she's had plenty of practise pick-pocketing from peacekeepers and the likes.

Weakness(es):

Gets distracted fairly easily when not under immediate threat, and is sometimes quite selfish, though she tries her best to curb this. Also quite moody at times, and has a bad habit of doing something first, and actually thinking about the consequences later.

Personality:

Kind, headstrong and confident, she's more of a quiet, not shy, just quiet type, as she's discovered silence is usually the best way not to get killed, because as long as you don't talk, most people don't have a clue what's going on in your life, and can't accuse you of anything. Fiery and intelligent, she is good at being elusive, and people often underestimate her because of this. Sweet when you get to know her, but you have to gain her trust first, which isn't easy.

Backstory/History:

Born and raised in the district, she lives in the Merchants section of district 12, where her father, Hilt, runs a grocers. Though he would never admit it, they're in a dire situation money wise, so Misty often pickpockets from peacekeepers, and other richer citizens, and then puts the money in the till when Hilt is out, and when he comes back just says 'A few customers bought some items'.

She also signed up for tesserae when she was 12, much to her fathers horror, and on her 13th birthday he gave her a simple, battered sword, saying that she better be prepared if she was ever reaped.

He wasn't one of those fathers who would sugar coat everything and say things like 'You'll never get reaped, it'll be fine.', as they both knew he couldn't possibly know.

Her mother abandoned her when she was just 3 years old, and Hilt had found her wandering around the district, bawling her eyes out, and had taken her in, becoming her adoptive father.

To this day she still doesn't even know who her mother was, neither of them do, but strangely, even though she was abandoned, Misty has always wanted to meet her... just to know why.

Bloodbath Strategy:

Run in swiftly, weave past people, grab a sword and then run, and keep running for a good 40 minutes, so she's as far away from there as she possibly can be.

Games Strategy:

Secure shelter for the first night, and find a safe water source. Then just keep on her toes, keep moving, avoiding confrontation and the careers at any cost.

Fashion a blowgun out of whatever she can find, and pick off other tributes from a distance, maybe by dipping the darts in poison or something, using the sword purely for defense, as with her small frame and young age, she wouldn't be able to hold her own for that long if she got that close to someone before attacking.

Token: A little bracelet made up of lots of tiny pearls, the only thing she has left from her Mother, as it was on her wrist when she was found.

Height: 5'4

Fears: 

Death, large animals, peacekeepers, and other figures of authority.

Alliance: 

More of a loner, but open to an alliance if she finds the right people, though definitely not the careers.
