Across the Universe ---> [Ari's Characters]

Name: Elisse Astern, though she sometimes goes by Elle or El for short, though both are pronounced the same she will accept both spellings.
District: District 4, The Fishing District
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Occupation: Her father owns his own bakery in the district. She isn't a baker herself but knows her way around an oven and is poised to take over when the time comes.
Wealth Status: Middle Class, not too poor but nowhere near rich in any sense of the word. Her family was always fortunate enough to not be starving or anything, but partially that is due to the fact that her father owns his own bakery so they tended to do well, even with the rebellions going on.
Family: Elisse's family consists now of her father, Brenton who is a local baker with a shop in the main marketplace area of District 4.  Her mother Maxine was a medic until the end of the rebellion and really only helped when it hit close to home. Both her parents tried to keep their distance when the rebellion happened, trying their best to keep their children as safe as possible though that didn't work out exactly as they planned. Elisse also had a brother, Abel, who was 5 years older then her. He was always an idealist and a dreamer of better things and joined the fighting against his parents' wishes. He ended up dying when the Capitol squashed the rebellion.
Pets: A five year old border collie named Shyla.
History: The Astern family never really wanted rebellion, they didn't necessarily hate the life they led and when given the option of peace or fighting they would choose the safer option. So when the fighting broke out between the districts and the Capitol, they tried their best to stay out of it as much as possible. Maxine, a medic who took up her trade as the fighting got worse and only so her conscious wouldn't way to heavily on her mind. Brenton would provide food to the troops, but all in all the heads of the Astern family tried their best to stay neutral so that no matter what happened it hopefully wouldn't be too bad for them. Because in the end they knew the consequences were not going to be good. After Abel joined the fighting and eventually died, it left the family in shambles and now with the news of a new 'punishment' for the districts for the problems they caused, Elisse's family has become more cautious and protective over their now only child.
Appearance: Elisse stands at an average height for females at 5'7" tall and weighs a pretty health 135lbs. She is thin but isn't skin and bones like some of the people in some of the poorer areas. She looks as if she has never seen an ounce of sun at all by her skin tone which is more of a classic ivory color, even though she lives in an area known for its beaches. It's actually funny because she does like to go down to the beach and spend time out in the sun quite a bit. Her eyes are a deep blue color like the ocean near district four and sometimes in certain lights you can see some of the grey hints come out more then the blue. Her hair is a bright, golden blonde color which she inherited from her mother and is naturally wavy like her father's hair when he lets it get too long and like her brother's hair was. Her face is more square shaped with a soft chin and not so prominent cheek bones, which gives her a softer looking face. Beyond that, her looks are pretty average.
Personality: Elisse would be considered a social butterfly, she isn't shy in the least and has no problems going up to people and starting a conversation, even if they are complete strangers. She can be very humorous is never afraid to crack a joke or even throw a pun out there if the opportunity arises. She ends to find herself at the center of attention and is always up for a prank or two, though she never lets it get to the point where a Peacekeeper would have to get involved. Elisse can be naive and trusting and usually sees the best of people. And though she hides it pretty well, she can still get torn up over the loss of her brother, though she usually pushes all those negative emotions to the back of her mind and they really only come out when she reaches her breaking point.
Talents:
- Elisse could make friends and allies pretty easily just based on how comfortable she is around people. She is not afraid to approach people and human interaction does not cause her any anxiety.
- She can cook thanks to her own family history and background and is used to using whatever is at her disposal to make something good.
- Thanks to her mother's expertise, Elisse has dabbled some in medicines and knows a little about how to heal and help people. She isn't the best, but she knows the basics and can get by.
Flaws:
- Elisse can be naive in situations at times and usually thinks the best of people, and so her trust is usually freely given. Her parents always taught her that humans are inherently good and that could pose problems when it comes to being manipulated or betrayed.
- She can be considered annoying by certain people because she can joke quite a bit, even at times where others might consider it in bad taste to be.
- Elisse isn't the fastest runner around and quite honestly hates having to run at all and will avoid it if at all possible.
Other: Nothing really...though I think some people might enjoy this little piece of gold.
