District Four Female: Marbella Doré

Author: FindingCallum

Name: Marbella Doré

Age: Sixteen

Sex: Female

District: Four

Physical Description:  Standing at a feeble 5'6 Marbella often finds herself almost submerged  in the tall yet lanky girls of District Four. However, her honey brown  locks, that fall in effortless waves down her back, make her stand out  from the pack. At first glance, her eyes almost sparkle with a deep  brown colour. However when the light catches them just right, they morph  into a mesmerising hazel with ting flicks of gold.  For her age,  Marbella has a petite figure which is knocked out of place by her curvy  hips. As well as this, her impeccable jawline and wide lips draw  anyone's attention to her rounded face. Despite her good looks, Marbella  hands are clustered with little scars; each one meaningful to the  Academy.

Personality:   Despite her natural beauty, Marbella has a very twisted personality.  Feisty, arrogant and overwhelmingly headstrong, she is the perfect image  of what a Career should be. Through her coaches training methods,  Marbella has built up a wall so that her emotions don't show. This often  plays to her advantage, except for when she attempts to connect with  her tyrant of a mother, where she struggles to let down her guard.  However after venturing to her favourite beach at the coast of the  District, Marbella can let her guard down and feel like a normal  teenager for once in her life.. Marbella also feels the urge to lie  constantly which has developed a little habit into full blown addiction  to manipulate and deceive. She believes that her determination and  shallowness stem from her upbringing around a Victor and an influential  figure in District Four. 

Background: In  the last ten years, District Four has had two victors originating from  the Doré family. Though her father had a simple life as a fisherman,  Marbella's childhood wasn't the same after moulding around the lives of  her victorious mother and older sister. From the age of six, Marbella  has been left to fend for herself as the attention she craved was bathed  around her sister Aurelia. As the years came and went, it was clear  that she was always going to be second best to her family. With the new  found anger, Marbella began training until she could compete in the  games and win. Though her mother, who now resides as the head trainer at  the Academy, tried to bring Marbella up on power and unconventional  love, she still struggles to release her feelings of abandonment. Along  with abandonment, Marbella still blames her sister for the deprived  attention as a child that she'll never get back.
