"I always love to see a new tributes join us... We never know what they'll be like, or what they've got up their sleeves."-Fillius Ravenscar
Name: Meredy Candor
Age: 12
District: 6
Gender: Female
Looks: Spiky dyed coral pink hair and bright green eyes. She's quite small and not very muscular. She normally doesn't smile around others and looks over them as though they're not worth her attention. She wears golden wing-like headgear around her ears that makes her look like some sort of pink haired evil angel.
Personality:Meredy usually is a stoic, mature, and calm. To her enemies, her speech seems almost robotic, as she pauses between words. She's made up a ranking system of her enemies and refers to her enemies on a number scale according to the order from least to most powerful. When in battle, she also seems to be quite cocky, referring to those she considers weak as trash. She can at times be a bit more childish around the people she actually likes. If she's ever criticized she'll be more quiet and won't say much. She's also quite smart and can recognize when people are lying. In battle she can be slightly psychotic, and demonic, scaring the hell out of her opponents with her ruthless power.
District Token: Her golden winged headgear that she wears behind her ears.
Volunteer: Yes
Why she volunteered: She desperately wants to prove to people how strong she is and kill the most tributes in the history of the Games.
Weapon of choice: Swords, she normally prefers twin swords.
Craft: Assassination, masonry is so last year (damn, so fun to write xD)
Background: When she was two her part of District 2 was killed off by Peacekeeper's for signs of rebelling. Meredy was the only survivor. One of the Peacekeeper's, a woman named Shivra found her and took her in against the presidents wishes. Shivra trained Meredy. She became very strong and began to work for the president by killing off the Capitol's enemies. Thanks to her hardships she's become incredibly strong, but also completely utterly ruthless to others.

Meredy Candor: District Two

I stare into the mirror, lips curling up into a demon-like smile. I stare at my messy coral pink hair that goes just past my shoulders, my golden wing-like headgear staying perfectly in place, making me look like some sort of angel. Angel? What a lie. My ruthless green eyes stare back at me. I've never been an angel.
You're volunteering today. You'll make Ul proud. I tell myself. My foster mother Ul's out on a mission today. I'd love to be with her. Too bad I won't be here when she gets back.
I punch my fist into the mirror, sending shreds of glass everywhere. My smile widens. Let people underestimate me. Sure, I'm twelve. But I'm a killer. Anyone who underestimates me will lie dead at my feet.
Twenty minutes later I stand alone in then square. The other twelve-year-olds stare at me, curious of me. They rarely see me, considering I'm normally on missions in other Districts, or the Capitol itself. I let a low hiss escape my lips.
"I know how to kill, so one more look and you all die..." I say, just loud enough for the ones closest to me to hear. I grab one girl and punch her straight in the jaw. I laugh.
"Didn't I tell you to back off?" The others stare at me like I'm some sort of monster. My grin stays in place, though I notice Peacekeeper's staring at me. Let them try and kill me. I'm stronger than them. I'm a murderer.
Our escort begins the reaping. I don't recall her name, but would love to see her begging for mercy at my feet. I don't give mercy. The weak shall bow down to me.
She draws a slip of paper from the reaping ball.
"Haven Delany!" She says in a crisp, Capitol-Like voice. A tall girl from the eighteen-year-old section steps foreword. She's ready, a smug grin on her face.
"I volunteer!" I scream. Everyone stares at me. Stunned. No one has the nerve to volunteer for an eighteen-year-old, and definitely not someone who's twelve. I just did. I think to myself. Haven stares at me, fire in her eyes. She hates me. Whatever, the second I'm back home I'll kill her. I'll kill all these people who have the nerve to underestimate me.
Suddenly I'm standing back on the cold street of my old home. I was barely two years old. Weak, helpless. Hundreds lie dead at my feet. I couldn't help but scream. I knew I was next. I sprinted to my home, praying that it wasn't the same as the others. All signs of hope vanquished when I saw the two people lying dead at my feet. My parents. I didn't save them... I turned around and ran. I knew I'd be dead in minutes, the second they found me.
I hid myself, waiting for my killer, hands wrapped around my knees, tears flowing from my eyes. A dark shadow approached me. It was Ul, her long dark hair blowing in the harsh wind.
"Are you gonna kill me?" I sob.
"No, I'll make you strong, keep you safe." She whispers, lifting me up. Ten years later we work together, killing off the presidents enemies. She's the one person who thinks of me as strong, powerful.
I snap myself awake. I won't show people my weakness. From now on I kill. Yes... People will feel my wrath. I want the world bowing down to my feet...
