Balisugar's New and Improved Characters Tumblr_lya5tqYd1B1r6pfxw

D I S T R I C T T H R E E

GENERAL
Name:
Sofia Valdz
Gender:
Female
Birthday/Age:
13 October/16
Family:
Mother- Age 38. Sofia's mum, Lauria, isn't someone to be messed with. She's tough, protective, honorable, and sweet. Like Sadie, Sofia and her mum have a close relationship. They don't keep secrets from each-other. Lauria works in engineering low-class automatic weaponry, so she makes a steady income, but nothing to brag about.

Father- Age 40. Sofia's father, Joseph, is very protective over Sofia, her siblings, and her mom. He gets jealous easily, but, other than that, is a good man. He's smart, loving, and friendly, but if you get on his bad site he gets angry and holds a grudge for a loooooong time.

Elder Sister- Age 18. Sofia has two twin older sisters (which is kind of funny because she's a twin too) who are often considered 'perfect.' The first one's name is Serafina. Serafina is girly, dim-witted, and condescending to those she looks down on. She supports her family, but boys and dating are held higher in her day-to-day regards. She is generally thought of as beautiful, but is looked down on for being a stupid girl in District 3. She's a cool person if she's your friend, though.

Elder Sister- Age 18. Sofia's other older sister's name is Shannon. Shannon is the opposite of Serafina personality-wise, and has been called a 'genius' by her friends many times. She's smart, sociable, and studious, while knowing how to have fun. She tries to look preppy and/or professional at all times, and often judges/comments on other people's outfits. She sees fashion as an artsy academic outlet, which doesn't make sense to Sofia or Sadie, but they're still close siblings.

Twin Sister - Age 16. Like their older sisters Sofia and her sister Sadie are twins. But unlike their older sisters they are not complete opposites. They're both pretty intelligent, but not at the to. They both have simialr traits, but also different ones too. Sadie and Sofia are pretty much identical.

Younger Brother- Age 8. Sofia also has a young brother, Horace. Horace means well, but his mischievous ways often make him seem downright evil. He is the smartest in the family, always making little electronic devices to terrorize his sisters. Unlike her other sisters Sofia doesn't even bother to get revenge. She usually just tickles Horace mercilessley.
District:
3, the Technology district
Pets:
None
Status:
Middle-Class
Weapon of Choice:
Knives, or Throwing Knives

APPEARANCE (including angles)
Physical Appearance:
Sofia is naturally beautiful. It's not like she'll end up in a modelling career or anything, but she's still seriously pretty. Sofia has very good skin. It is slightly tanned, with absolutely no freckles. Sofia doesn't want any either. Her hair is a lightish brown colour and either wavy or straight. It can't seem to make up it's mind, so it just alterantes on a daily basis. She usually keeps it out or in a ponytail or braid. Sofia has eyes that are usually green, but can appear hazel in darker light. She isn't the tallest girl out there, standing at 5' 5". She is one of the lighter girls, thanks to her naturally slender build. Sofia has a ready smile that reveals her straight and white teeth. Her lips are a darker pink than most naturally.
Preferred Angles:
Probably Nice or Sweet
Angles this Tribute Will Not do:
Ruthless
Face Claim:
Sarah Hyland

PERSONALITY
General Personality:
Sofia is a little bit shy, but not too shy. She's mainly shy with people she doesn't really know. Once she knows them she opens up a lot. That's when the real Sofia comes out. She's sweet, bubbly and a bit talkative. Loads of people love her, mainly because she is pretty and nice, which is a pretty rare combinaion. Usually pretty girls are mean and nasty, but not Sofia. Anyway, she does have a tendency to get annoyed at small things. But Sofia hardly ever gets angry. It would ruin her whole 'nice girl' image after all. Sofia is a very good actoress, and she loves being dramatic. Sofia is a pretty smart girl. She's not at the bottom of the class, but she isn't at the top either. She is in the top half of her year though, so that's something. Sofia is quite loyal and persistent. She's a hard worker, but she knows where to stop. Sofia is also a rather impatient person. She hates waiting, and surprises.
Flaw:
Sofia is a bit too stubborn to be healthy
Talents:
Sofia is very good at acting. She is also quite intelligent.

HISTORY
Brief History:
Sofia has never been the smartest in her family, but she isn't the dumbest either. The order of smartness (in children) would go Horace, Shannon, Sadie or Sofia (they're usually pretty equal) and then Serafina. As long as she doesn't slip below Serafina in intelligence Sofia's parents are happy. Every now and then Sofia will pull a really great mark and her parents will be reasonably proud. Other than this there isn't much to say. Sofia and her family have never had to go without food because they are reasonably well off. Sofia hasn't really faced any hardships either.

District:
5, the Power District
Pets:
None
Status:
Middle Class, leaning towards Richer
Weapon of Choice:
Spear

APPEARANCE (including angles)
Physical Appearance:
Alyssa is on the taller side of the height scale for girls her age. She stands at 5 foot 5 inches and weighs approxiametly 85 lbs. She has pretty much always been tall and light so her family has concluded it must be because of her bone structure. Alyssa has lightish brown eyes with a darker brown ring around the egdes of the irises. She has a creamy light tan color skin tone that is free of blemishes. Alyssa has reasonable curves considering she is quite light. Alyssa's lips are naturally pink. They are close to the shade of a deep pink rose. Her teeth are quite white and quite straight, nothing too out of the ordinary. Alyssa's main vanity is her hair, well that and her skin. Anyway, her hair reaches the bottom of her shoulder blades and is a darkish brown. When the sun hits it several threads of red and light brown light up. Alyssa's hair is a bit more than wavy but not quite curly. It looks like it wants to curl but can't. Alyssa's eyebrows are gently arching and on the thinner side.
Preferred Angles:
Friendly, Likeable, Charming
Angles this Tribute Will Not do:
Sexy, Ruthless

PERSONALITY
General Personality:
The bottom line with Alyssa is she is generally pleasant. Alyssa hates having a bad reputation so she tries to keep things pleasant always. Every now and then she has to get mad at someone though. Alyssa isn't perfect. But she usually keeps her anger at bay enough for her to politely excuse herself and go rage in private. Alyssa is all for adventure. Some people ask why, Alyssa asks why not. She has an infectious joy when it comes to adventure so often other people get pulled into them as well. Alyssa doesn't only have joy in adventures, she has it most of the time. Alyssa is a 'glass half-full' type person. She has never seen the point in being depressing and sad. As a result she is pretty good at getting people to feel better. She is the shoulder to cry on. Alyssa can often get annoyed at small things. It's just part of who she is. It could be a noise or something someone said. The things vary but they often dont annoy other people. Alyssa has a unique way of looking at things. In a situation where someone would think it was hopeless Alyssa would not give up. She'd keep looking for an answer. So, she is persistent. Overall Alyssa is pleasant, adventurous and persistent.
Flaw:
Alyssa's flaw is her stubborness
Talents:
Alyssa is a very good singer and dancer

HISTORY
Brief History:
Alyssa was born in the middle of a pretty spring day. Although it was getting closer to Winter this day had been absolutely perfect. Her parents thought it was even more perfect when their first child arrived. Alyssa was only an only child for two years, tehn her younger brother Sam arrived. And then two more years later her younger sister Eliza came into the world. They were a happy family. Tony had a stable job and they always had food on the table. Alyssa and her siblings also always had clean clothes and a clean house. Mary is very skilled at household work and wanted her children to always look presentable. Alyssa got on very well with her siblings. They both looked up to her, so it was just as well that Alyssa is a good role model. When they got home from school Alyssa would play with her siblings whenver they desired. She didn't want her mother doing all the work, so this is the main way she helped out. Whenever her mother was doing work Alyssa would entertain the younger children so they wouldn't get in the way. This a good system that is still in place today.

GENERAL
Name:
Zalia Stone
Gender:
Female
Birthday/Age:
17 June/17
Family:
None, all deceased
District:
2, the Masonry and Weaponry District
Pets:
None
Status:
Rich
Weapon of Choice:
Anything she can get her hands on, Zalia's not picky

APPEARANCE (including angles)
Physical Appearance:
Zalia is tall and lean. She has thin, wiry muscles that are surprisingly strong. Her eyes are a steely blue/grey. They are as cold, hard and as flat as stones. Hardly any emotion ever flickers in them. Zalia's hair is primarily blonde. It has brown streaks throughout it. Zalia usually keeps it out. She can't be bothered to do much more. When training Zalia obviously has to tie it up. Her eyebrows are the same colour as the brown streaks in her hair. Zalia has very black eyelashes that suit her eyes perfectly. Her lips are light pink and are fairly even, although her bottom lip is a bit fuller than her upper lip. Zalia has a flat somach and a slightly fuller than average chest. Her whole body is slender.
Preferred Angles:
Confident, Viscously sexy
Angles this Tribute Will Not do:
Innocent, Humble

PERSONALITY
General Personality:
Zalia can come off as rough and a little viscious. She's definitely not the sweetest person out there. She isn't afraid to say what she thinks, especially if it's nasty. Her past haunts her. To cope with it she shuts everyone out. Zalia has very successfully built up a tough exterior. Nothing hurts her anymore. She can easily show no emotion. Zalia has gone from being a bright and happy girl to being a cold, hard person. Zalia has few friends; most of the ones she used to have separated from her when she changed. Only a rare few people have pierced her shell. Zalia has a very good mind. She is very smart. Once people see this they change their opinion on Zalia. Instead of cold and hard Zalia is upgraded to being cold and calculating. Most people who have a hard outer shell are nicer underneath. Not Zalia. She has completely changed. What she looks like is who she is.
Flaw:
Zalia will say what she thinks no matter what
Talents:
Zalia is great at being viscious. If she went in the Games she wouldn't have any worries about murdering other people. Zalia is also very good with seclusion. Non-Hunger Game related talents include her physical health and cooking.

HISTORY
Brief History:
Zalia has a very violent history. Her mother was always kind to her, but her father was another matter. He often got drunk and was abusive. Naturally he only showed his true colours after he and Zalia's mother were married. Anyway, he was very drunk when he came home one night. Zalia was 14 at the time. When her father came home she was curled up on a chair, reading a book. Her father barged into the room. Zalia's mother said one small thing to aggravate him and his hands reached her neck. Zalia's mother was strangled in moments, Zalia's father was very strong. Zalia watched her poor, kind mother die and felt an overwhelming surge of rage and grief. She lept out of her chair and ashed her father against the stone wall. He hit his head and died of internal bleeding. The neighbours had heard the screaming of Zalia and her mother and had come to investigate. They saw Zalia sobbing in the middle of the room and her dead parents on the floor. They blamed the father for the murder of Zalia's mother and of himself. No one had the heart to blame Zalia. She insisted to live alone. She wouldn't live with anyone else. So the Peacekeepers let her live alone. She received money for clothes and food etc. and they made sure she had neighbours on both sides. That way if she ever needed help there were people around. Zalia has lived alone ever since.

••• Genevieve Smith •••

Balisugar's New and Improved Characters Tumblr_lhxbdhlSWg1qbt8b8o1_500

D I S T R I C T E I G H T

GENERAL

19 January/ 17
Family:
Mother (Elizabeth Smith) and Father (Dave Smith)
District:
8, the Textile District
Pets:
None
Status:
Middle-Class
Weapon of Choice:
Anything will do

APPEARANCE (including angles)
Physical Appearance:
Genevieve is beautiful. Everyone syas it, and she doesn't deny it. Genevieve has long dark glossy hair that falls to the bottom of her shoulder blades. She ususally ties it up when she has to work at a loom. Genevieve has long and nimble fingers that are perfect for her line of work. Genevieve's eyes are a middleish shade of brown and are very clear. Many people describe them a welcoming. Genevieve is quite tall, and she is also quie slender. Her skin is relatively pale, and completely smooth. She has no freckles whatsoever.
Preferred Angles:
Sweet, Girl-Next-Door
Angles this Tribute Will Not do:
Ruthless

PERSONALITY
General Personality:
It is often said that beautiful people have beautiful personalitys. This is entirely true for Genevieve. She is sweet, kind and very loyal to her friends. Her loyalty is her main problem. Genevieve would do practically anything for her friends. She also gets attached to people very quickly. Not the best trait to haave when you're in an Arena where you have to kill everyone to survive. Genevieve is quite intelligent, and very caring. She makes friends easily. People are drawn in by her charisma and charm. Genevieve would never take advantage of this though. It would make her feel incredibly guilty. Genevieve is very truthful. She basically can't lie. The guilt she would feel would force her to tell the truth eventually.
Flaw:
Genevieve is much too loyal to friends
Talents:
Camoflauge, singing and running

HISTORY
Brief History:
Genevieve's history is completely normal. There were no untimely deaths in her family and her parents weren't abusive or drunks. Everything was completely normal and content. They were a traditional family. The dad went to work and earned the money while the mother stayed at home to look after the house and the children. Genevieve's father's job was very stable. He had worked at it for quite a few years, so if they did have to fire people he would be one of the last to go. It also paid quite well. This meant that there was always plenty of food, quite a bit of money saved up and gifts for Genevieve were completely possible. All the family were happy with their lives, and still are. Genevieve also has a job, just so the family can build up savings in case anything happens. She works at a loom, spinning thread into workable pieces. Her master is very strict. He chains everyone to their looms, and only he has a key. At the end of the day he unlocks each shackle.

Karma Carson

T H E C A P I T O L

.:Basics,Persona,History, and Others:.

Name:
Karma Carson

Age:
20

Birthday:
29 September

Gender:
Female

Pets:
None

Personality:
Karma is one of the more toned down members of the Capitol. This is why she has only altered her hair and not even all of it. Karma is pretty confident around people. She isn't shy and doesn't have any problems getting her point across. Most people find Karma generally pleasant. This is because if she sees someone she knows will annoy or anger her she steers clear of them. So most people haven't seen her angry or annoyed. And Karma would like to keep it that way. She doesn't like things spiraling out of control so Karma likes to be in charge. She can accept when she's not though. Karma often sponsors at least one tribute each year.

Viena Zarr

Age:
25

Year as Stylist:
3

Preferred District:
2

Physical Appearence:
Viena is a average looking person when it comes to prettiness. She does tend to stand out a bit though. This is because Viena's hair is a rainbow of colours. It is fairly long and is dead straight. Other than her hair Viena doesn't really stand out. She has light pink lips that are often open in a smile. This shows that she has dimples. Viena's skin is definitely on the lighter side. When it comes to weight and height Viena is purely average. She has dark brown eyes and often wears blue eyeshadow.

Angle:
More serious, Confident

Mentor(s) - Thanks to Sor for giving me her D11 spot!

Balisugar's New and Improved Characters Black-hair-styles-1

D I S T R I C T E L E V E N

Name:
Marigold Dust

Gender:
Female

Age:
30, she was 15 when she won the 12th annual Hunger Games

Birthday:
19 July

District:
11

How They Won the Games:
Basically Marigold hid the entire Games. Most of the other tributes only saw her at the Cornucopia. Her arena was a giant forest. Since she was from 11 Marigold was great with trees. She hid up in them for the entire time, moving around so people wouldn't find her. And they didn't. The Careers had their final battle among each other even though Marigold was still alive. They had completely forgotten about her. Marigold used her sword to kill the surviving of the battle (the district 2 boy). It was actually quite easy.

History:
Marigold's mother and father died when she was very young, only a few weeks old. Marigold was an only child so she was a very lonely orphan. Until she was adopted that is. Marigold's adoptive parents were very kind and caring. Plus, they had already adopted three other children so Marigold was never lonely. Her adoptive parents also had more money than most so she was never on the verge of starving to death. All her adoptive family was very upset when Marigold was picked at the reaping. They honestly thought she wouldn't come back. After she did they all moved into the Victor's village house with her. All of Marigold's adoptive siblings are married now and, with the help of Marigold, have good houses. It's the same for her parents. Marigold herself resides in a Victor's Village house with her living husband Daniel.

Appearance:
Marigold is a stereotypical District 11 girl. She has dark skin and brown eyes. Her eyes are a bit lighter in color than most, but it's not terribly noticeable. Her hair is also very dark, it's pitch black in fact. It is quite silky and falls to the bottom of her shoulder blades. Her eyebrows are not black. Instead they are a dark brown. Marigold's lips are pretty close to skin color. But they are obviously much more pink. Marigold is of average height and weight. Unlike some victors Marigold has not let her body fall into disrepair. She is still very fit and her muscles are quite toned.

Personality:
Being a tribute in the Hunger Games has hardened Marigold. She used to be much more gullible. Now true trust from her is quite hard to obtain. Only her adoptive family, husband and a couple of close friends are trusted wholly. Marigold also used to be insanely positive. Now she is basically just average. One thing that hasn't changed is her caring attitude towards her friends. Whenever they have a problem Marigold is the first person they think of. Marigold is fine with this. She lives making people feel better. Marigold is a relatively serious person. Having to go into the arena to fight for your death makes you harden.

Flaw:
Marigold judges people too quickly and won't change her mind about them unless they do something radical.

Pet(s):
None
