'''Dayta Huksley

'''

District: 3

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Personality: Patient, a great sense of humour, oddly protective of allies. She has an honest and forgiving personality. She rarely becomes angry with people, but when she does she breaks out in huge and violent rages that can be life-threatening to herself and others. She can turn on you like a candle to a flame.

Back story: Dayta was raised in the common District 3 technology family. Her father was an intelligent engineer; her mother helped put together circuit boards. Until the age of 12, Dayta attended school but was often silent and struggled grievously. Unknown to her, she has dyslexia, and finds it extremely hard to understand or decipher text. Because of her failure in class, Dayta was pulled out of school and worked with her mother in the factories instead. Dayta was assigned to a job involving wrapping plastic around wires. She sometimes poked herself with the sharp wires, leaving her hands sore and red every day. One day when Dayta was at work, the metal wire came into contact with a hot radiator and heated up. Dayta's hands were severely burned by handling the wire, and have been left with long, thin scars on her palms. When Dayta dropped the hot wire because of being burned, the fabric of a fellow worker's clothes caught fire, resulting in the factory being burned down. Dayta's mother was killed in the fire, and the scars remind Dayta of her mother's death, and she constantly feels like it was her fault that Mrs Huksley died. Dayta was so traumatised that she stopped speaking and working, but acts in a friendly way towards people. She is often scared to touch things that she hasn't seen before, and has the occasional flashback of the flames which scare her immensely. Even after these flashbacks, Dayta finds it hard to adjust back to reality, and becomes dazed for about ten minutes before she fully recovers.

Appearance: Dark blue hair, with a light blue streak. A pale face, dark green eyes, huge, mottled scar on her shoulder from being burned in the fire, normal weight and height, often wears dark blue lipstick and blue eyeshadow.

Strengths: Her logical and well-thought-out plans, she can easily make people feel sorry for her to get sponsors and attention.

Weaknesses: Flashbacks and fear of confronting new things, not being able to talk much

Weapons: Axes, glaives, spears (anything that can throw long distances really)

Interview Angle: Try and say as few words as possible (because of her muteness), but give some hint of strength and courage to show the Capitol that even the most unlikely people are the strongest.

Training Strategy: Try and have a go at everything, analyse other's skills and try to match them

Bloodbath Strategy: Don't get too close, but if a weapon or backpack is close by, grab it and run.

Games Strategy: Try and find water or weapons first depending if you have any already. Then see if you can track down nearby tributes, follow them secretly, and figure out a plan to kill them before making any quick attacks. Patience is key to survival.

Token: A silver chain necklace with a decorative circuit board hung from it. A symbol of her district.
