Chinese Female Tribute: Kaida Lin-Wong

Name: Kaida Lin-Wong

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Country: China

Physical Description:  Kaida has layered shoulder length black hair, that frames a pretty  tanned, oval face. She has big hazel eyes, surrounded by thick black  lashes. She is quite tall for her age (5'11), and not quite skinny, she  is very flexible and strong, so has some muscles. On her 15th birthday  her parents allowed her to get a tattoo of a dragon on her back to  symbolize her name (Kaida mean's "Little Dragon" in Japanese). Normally  it is hidden by her shirt, but if you do happen to see it, it looks like  the dragon is protecting her, mostly because it seems to start out of  nowhere and coil around the back of her neck; it is quite realistic. She  is very traditional, and barely ever wears modern clothing.

Celebrity Look-Alike: N/A

Personality: Anyone who  doesn't know Kaida, would assume she is very sweet and kind, and she is,  until she gets angry... Kaida has the fiery temper of her namesake, and  refuses to back down from a challenge. She likes being alone, since the  only real friends she has are male apprentices back at the sanctuary.  Since she normally spends her time with males, she has a hard time  connecting with females. Many of the people at the sanctuary call her  either "Dragon" or "Little Dragon" and she finds these nicknames  comforting.

Kaida around new people,  is very quiet, not because she is shy, not at all, she is quiet because  she listens to what people say and assesses the situation, many people  find this weird, but after almost 8 years of doing it, that is the only  was she knows.

She always strives to do  her best, because she feels her parents are disappointed in her, less  so then before she continued the training to be a samurai, however,  nothing she seems to do pleases them. They always compare her to her  older brother's, even through she has completely different interests.

Back-Ground: Kaida's  mother was originally from Japan, while her father was from China, after  their first child (Kaida's oldest brother), was born, the settled in  Hong Kong to raise their children, which included Kaida's two older  brother's and herself. Her parents were very traditional, and at the age  of 8, each of her brother's were sent to a special sanctuary where they  would become samurai, however, neither of them chose to continue, and  soon left.

She was only 4 when her  second brother went, and by the time she was 8, had decided that she  wanted to go as well. So, through her parents would have rather had one  of their sons, they allowed her to go, and she has trained there ever  since, much to her parents delight.

This sanctuary is in the  heart of The Scared Mountains of China, while they occasionally get  tourist (which are all turned away), normally they are kept isolated,  only coming in contact with their masters and the other apprentices.  However, when the Game's were made, word was quickly sent to them  demanding anyone between the ages of 12 and 18 be sent to the reaping.  Kaida was one of four apprentices (the only girl of the four) to be  there, and most of the time they joked that this was their time to  shine.

Almost as if fate had told them, Kaida was reaped.

District Token: A  necklace with a dragon coiled in a ball as the pendant, made in  tarnished silver. It is a family heirloom that Kaida holds very dear.

Weapon of Choice: Twin  Yanmaodao swords (samurai swords [Once for each hand] that hang from  crossing straps on the users back) / throwing stars
