District 3 Female - SOPHIE O'CONNER

NAME: Sophie 'Sparks' O'Conner

AGE: 15

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Sophie has really pale skin, which makes her unusually with splatters of freckles stippled all over her rounded cheekbones. Rosy pink, her lips are fairly full and case a shiny and knowing, yet small smile. She's of fairly average height at 5"8, but most of this is from her extremely long legs, which are not only extremely useful but surprisingly strong, meaning she looks a lot smaller when sat down, which makes her look much younger when sat down. Her frame is toned but slightly on the skinny side from spending time in the labs and factories and having little time to build muscle. Ebony black, her long wavy hair is usually scraped back behind her ears to make room for her striking ocean blue eyes to peer out. Bony but nimble her hands are small and ideal for intricate work, but perhaps not for wielding large weapons. Her left arm has a jagged scar on it's bicep from an incident she has never told anyone.

PERSONALITY: Quite obvious from your first impression, she's an introvert, keeping herself often to herself with no close friends at school or at her part time job, although she's always with a small smile for people. Once you get to know her she's actually a really kind and loyal person who will always be there for you. However, she has issues trusting people due to the fear or her, not entirely legal, activities been exposed. Like most people in district 3, Sophie's incredibly smart, but she's also incredibly creative. It's not uncommon for her to speak her mind, which has got her into trouble in the past, as she is a realist. Although she's never mean about it, she's sarcastic towards people, but it's often under her breath to not offend others or, to get herself into trouble. Her sharp mind and how she can create sparks with other people is what got her the nickname sparky.

THE REAPING: Reaped

WEAPON OF CHOICE: Traps, camouflage and daggers for hand to hand combat 

TRAINING SCORE: 7

LIFESTYLE: She lives in the bleak, concrete, working class flats on the edge of the district boundary; a fast pace river that shimmers like a steel sheet in sunlight. Her mother was an escapee from district 8 and works with the wires for circuits and her father, a native to 3, works with the force field department. Combining the skills she learnt from both her parents, she took up a job in the tech development sector, redesigning existing common inventions, part time. The income from her and her parents' jobs, only just support the family, especially since they lost the small amount of money her older brother brought in. Her brother was her closest friend, so when he was reaped, she seemed to become withdrawn from what little company she had previously kept. People in the neighbourhood say that she often visits the boundaries in her free time and often seems to disappear. Search parties have been sent into area outside the district but she was never found, nor was any incriminating evidence, meaning the allegations were dropped. Many people are still suspicious of her, especially since her boots have been found with chalky substances on the sole. Peacekeepers have also suspected her in the past of slacking off work and eating illegal foods, stolen from the supplies, due to her muscle gain in the past 6 months. These accusations also didn't hold up. He was betrayed by an ally meaning now she wants to honour his memory by doing the best she can. Perhaps this would mean she is out for vengeance but we can't be sure yet.

TOKEN: Bracelet made of steel cable, leather and rope braided together. Her brother made it her shortly before he was reaped.
