Twyla Paisley ~ District 8

Name: Twyla Paisley

Gender: Female

District: 8

Age: 15

Weapon:  Throwing knives / Daggers, though has always wanted to try using axes. Appearance: Tall and willowy, with curly chestnut brown hair that just barely brushes her shoulders, crystalline emerald eyes framed by long lashes, abnormally pale, almost white skin, and a small smattering of freckles across her button nose and pale, ever so slightly pink cheeks.

Strengths/skills:

Is fairly athletic, and with her slim build is good at being elusive and climbing.

Is also fairly good at spotting a trustworthy person, and is focused and organized.

Weakness(es):

She can sometimes be a bit naive, especially if someone of the opposite gender pays her any attention. Also, her shyness is sometimes quite inhibiting as well, and she doesn't trust someone easily.

Personality:

Very shy, so shy it actually inhibits her from having any social life, quiet and calm for the most part, though when provoked has a fiery temper.

Headstrong and exceedingly stubborn, whether she's right or wrong she will see an idea through till the end, regardless of the outcome.

Kind-hearted, and doesn't like the thought of killing anything, though she is prepared to try and learn whatever it takes to help her emerge victor.

Has quite a dry, sarcastic sense of humor, and loves animals and nature. (Though she sees barely any of either in the district.)

Backstory/History:

Has lead a relatively quiet life in the district, and has been a seamstress for 2 years, as a part time job.

Her mother lost both legs in a work accident, so heavily relies on Twyla and her little sister, Velvet to look after her while their father works in one of the many factories dotted around.

Their family is relatively well liked in the district, and friends of her mothers often pop round to help her, though Twyla often feels as if she gets sidelined by everyone in preference to the rest of her family, due to her shyness.

Interview Angle: Cute, very, very cute.

Bloodbath Strategy:

Avoid it at all costs, if there was literally a backpack next to her she might go for it, otherwise she'd just run away from it as fast as she could.

Games Strategy:

Avoid the other tributes and confrontation as best she can, and track down water, shelter and food, preferably away from the others. She'll also try and fashion weapons out of things she finds along the way, and hope that eventually a rich sponsor may send her a proper one.

Token: A plain silver locket, with a picture of her family inside, which she is very lucky to have as photos are scarce in the poorer districts.

Height: 5'7

Fears: Heights, and snakes.

Alliance: If she finds someone she trusts enough, then definitely, yes. She doesn't trust easily though, as I've mentioned before! xD
