Writers Games: Power for Death

District Nine Female - Lindsay

Full Name: Lindsay (She doesn't know her last name. It's Demetra, like the mayor's)

Age: She isn't sure. She is pretty sure her birthday was sometime in the last six months and she thinks she is around 17 or 16.

District: 9

Physical Description: When she smiles, she is considered gorgeous, but that rarely ever happens. Her unruly curly blonde hair is almost always unkempt and dirty, like the rest of her. She never has time or ability to brush her hair or shower or even shave her legs like normal girls do. So, she remains dirty and covered in soot. Even while she goes through phases of dirty and somewhat clean,the slight spray of freckles across her nose and the piercing deep blue of her eyes never dim or change.
Lindsay's extremely gaunt and skinny frame shows off her ribs even if she wears baggy clothing. Her legs look like sticks and her stature is short, due to her malnourishment. She looks like the stickfigures kids draw- extremely skinny with baggy clothing, but she doesn't have a smile.

Personality: Neglect and being an outcast have turned a once charismatic girl into a recluse and insecure orphan. She knows that she has no parents and she always lets it get to her. She is almost always frowning and she hates herself and the world.
Malnourishment rules Lindsay's life. You would think that depression would be added in there, but Lindsay still has hope and prefers to keep it that way.

Backstory: After her mother fell prey to the sweet words of the mayor, her mother became pregnant. The father, after hearing about this, threatened the mother and forced her to never tell anyone of their fling. The father then never saw her again.
Her mother died in childbirth, thus orphaning poor Lindsay, who was sent off to an orphanage. You would think that at an orphanage, Lindsay would receive proper care, or at least some sort of care that would help her survive. Sadly, this was not the case. Lindsay was underfed and wasn't liked by any of the caretakers. In fact, she had to watch as all the other orphans were well taken care of and loved and well fed, while she was close to starving.
Later, at the age of thirteen, the orphanage decided that she was never going to get adopted and they threw her out onto the streets. Lindsay survived the best she could, with eating scraps and vegetables she could find. She never really made any friends and lived on her own. The occasional family would feed her a meal and give her a place to sleep for a night, but that rarely happened and even if it did, no one had enough food to properly nourish her.

Family: She never knew her dad- her parents weren't married and they didn't even really know each other- and her mother died during childbirth. As an orphan, I guess you could say that the caretakers were her family, but she is an outcast and had trouble fitting in.

Power Wished For: The ability to take nutrients from anything. Rocks, leaves, dirt. This would really help her both and in the arena and when she got back home.

Weapon of Choice: She's never had to use a weapon before. Maybe something stick like? She's hit things with a big stick before. Maybe a club would do.

Allies: She would love to have someone watch her back, but after so many years on her own, she's not sure how to trust someone. She also knows that no one would want her, because who would want to have someone from the street as their ally.

Tribute Token: Lindsay doesn't have anything to take with her, so she took a tiny pebble off the street just to keep in her pocket.

Volunteered/Reaped: Reaped

Reason/Reaction: She was just sad. She would have about a week of luxury, then be forced to go back to living the way she is now. Except this time, the whole arena and people in it are out to kill her.

Tribute Owner: @Squad53 :)
