Gender:
Male
District/Area:
District 11
Appearance:
Alexander is a tall boy standing at six foot one with a not so impressive build and intense blue eyes. He's muscular from years of working in the fields of his District though it hardly shows in his outward appearances, and his skin has tanned considerably from years in the sun. He's thick brown hair is always in a messy style and it's clear that he doesn't give much thought to his appearances. He dresses simply and he always tries to make sure that he has clean clothing for the start of the work week.
Personality:
Alexander is uses to responsibility so he's always weary in everything he does. Since a young age he had tried to lead his family in the best way that he could, and at his current seventeen years of age he knows all of the tricks. He's cunning enough to keep under the radar of the Peacekeepers, but bold enough to do what he needs to do for him and his family. Despite his immense loyalty to his parents and little sisters, he still places himself above all and although he would never outwear5Daly admit it, he would stab them all in the back for his own life. He's friendly enough though he never really lets people in and he doesn't hide that fact.
Alexander is observant and although he's not quick to enrage when he does he has a dangerous blinding rage. He's a bit on the dull side despite his observations and his knowing what to say and do at home to keep himself out of trouble. He signs up for reason's for the simple need of not starving to death though he would never sign up for anyone besides he. He doesn't really think about the game, sighting his District's large population to be the reason.
History:
Alexander was born and raised in District 11. He was the first of six children to his two high school sweet heart children and right from the start he was compelled to take control of his family. His mother and father filtered around oftentimes to tired or wrapped up in each other to pay much attention to the running of the home. Since Alexander always liked control, he jumped at this and took great care in controlling things. The birth of his sisters were always miner distractions to his tasks, and save for the oldest Anna Marie who shares his same control-loving, me above all else personality, he generally disliked all of them.
Since his family was always short on money Alexander had to start working in the fields alongside his mother and father at age 8. The rest of his life is in turns uneventful... And, weak nothing else. His years passed by slowly but without much drama or cause for worry. His family usually had enough food and he could neither think of anything or come up with the motivation to do anything to change it.

Character name:
Erin Josie Wayy
Age:
14 years old, born December 14th
Gender:
Female
District/Area:
District Five
Appearance:
Erin is an unimposing young lady standing at a meager five foot two with a slim and slender frame that contains no mass or bulk or considerable weight behind her whatsoever. He has long, dark brown hair that falls nearly to her waist and dark green eyes. There is nothing fearsome about Erin appearance-wise, especially since she goes to such lengths to comb her hair and always look presentable. She has a light tread, decent hearing, and an easy going smile always placed firmly on her lips.
Personality:
Erin is one smart girl who, unfortunately for her, doesn't get the opportunity to show it. The youngest daughter of three children her parents don't want to encourage much in the way of brains that would cause her to stand out. She's encouraged to marry young so that a husband would be responsible for caring for her and not weary parents. She's adaptable though, and knows that if she wants to learn anything remarkable at all, she must do so without letting anyone on, and she doesn't, not really.
Erin plays more to her friends than anything else, and while she always feels like she puts up an act around her friends, she can't say she's ever really lonely. She's clumsy with her hands and horrible at making the art and sculptors that her District specializes in. She doesn't have much interest in art, and although she does have wonderful concentration, her mind just can't hold that for her. She likes science, and finding inventions and discoveries.
Erin is deathly afraid of the Hunger Games and the Capital though she's never voiced these thoughts to anyone besides her tomcat Flick. She's not the murderous type, and even just watching the Games or the simplest mention of it can make her near fainting. She's an easy going girl who knows her own limits and isn't prone to pushing them. She accepts challenges with apprehension and always excepts the worst while hoping for the best.
History:
Erin was the youngest of three children. Her older sister Hannah and brother Connor proved to be acceptable siblings though they did tend to keep more to themselves than their little sister. Her mother was an airy, clueless woman that always had a large loving heart, but not much else, and her father was a stern and commanding man that made life under his rule almost unbearable. He worked hard for his family and expected his children to do the same. He was a talented artist and Hannah and Connor quickly feel into step behind him, though Erin never did. She never understood art principles, she never had that sort of creativity. Ever since she could remember in school if she was given a piece of paper and asked to draw something she would always start thinking of things to improve things. Sketching out random inventions of her minds and taking long notes that her teacher would only shake his head at.
Erin suffered a lot of her father's attention because of her differences. She was hard to handle when it came to art. Her father was a man forever devoted to his wife who after catching a horrible flu the year that Erin was four has been unable to do any work in the traditional sense. she does what she can by picking up odd jobs but she neither has the stamina now or the strength for the majority of work. Her father's stress mounted and although Hannah and Connor would be okay in the long run, he knows that the youngest would never be okay. No one would pay her for her poor quality work. She was then encouraged to, instead of working on her skills, to marry early. He wouldn't support her into adulthood, he had a hard enough time supporting his wife. His other kids at least contributed some, Erin never could.
Erin put her name into the Hunger Game pull extra times for the extra food, something that her siblings never did. Which is ironic in retrospect since those two never worried about the Games, and if anything had a cocky habit of always going around saying, "Hey, if we are drawn we can take it! We could be winners." Now, don't be mistaken. The Wayy parents loved all of their children dearly and equally, but their father still makes decisions for his wife more than anything else. His love for his wife triumphs his love for his children, and it's something that all of his children have grown to accept.
Still, Erin's childhood wasn't perfect, or completely miserable either. For the longest time she had a horrible time making friends though they eventually came. Her grades in school were received with welcome and happy smiles, as well as anger at times that she worked so hard on them. She worked hard, smiled daily and laughed often. She cried hard, had troubles, but in the end survived them all.
