District 5 Female - TARA STOLTMAN

NAME: Tara Stoltman

AGE: 14

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Hailing from a long bloodline of District Five generator repairmen, Tara takes the appearance of a typical child in the district. Her fiery hair falls down in curly waves to her mid-back, which isn't a great feat considering her short stature. Years of tipping back and forth between poverty and famine has made Tara sickly skinny, her narrowed shoulders and birdlike appendages sticking out at odd angles. Her electric eyes are hard to ignore when contrasted against her freckled face and chapped - to the point of almost bleeding - lips.

PERSONALITY: Tara is a survivor. Abandoned as a young child, Tara has been forced to grow up too quickly and harden up her heart to the cruelties of the world. She's always been independent, but after her abandonment Tara's social skills dropped to none and she began to depend on no one but herself. Constantly being on her toes has made Tara sleep deprived and a tad bit jittery. Although Tara has never killed a human, she would be willing to if forced.

THE REAPING: Reaped

WEAPON OF CHOICE: Blowgun

TRAINING SCORE: 3

LIFESTYLE: Tara was born to two lovebirds who jumped to quickly into their relationship. After a meltdown at one of the plants, her father was killed. Tara's mother coped with the pain and her two year old daughter by injecting herself with morphine. Overtime, she slowly increased her dousage into finally overdosing. Tara was sent to a local orphanage where she lived up until the age of ten. After being kicked out, Tara took to the streets, scavenging and evading danger everyday for the past four years alongside her cat Shadow.

TOKEN: A pink bow her mother gave her many birthdays ago, although she never wears it.
