Backstory: Valine was born in District 16 to a widow, who soon died after she was born. She had to live with her cousins, and they treated her badly. She grew to become quiet and meek, learning to hide and run fast rather than stand her ground and fight. She was always a very observant girl, and so in the long hours she spent hiding from her abusive relatives she gleaned thousands of secrets. She became proficient in blackmailing but her gentle, compassionate spirit would never allow her to use this skill. Until now, when it's life or death. When she was called for the reapings, she had hoped that her older cousin would have taken her place-- but instead, no one even came to wish her goodbye. Her strategy is to gain the support of donors during the interviews and use her quick wit and knowledge of plants (fruits, trees, berries, etc.) to survive in the arena. She hopes that she won't have to make any kills... but in order to preserve her own life, she will if needed.

Appearance: long auburn hair that hides her face, wide brown eyes. Pale face and delicate, rounded features. She isn't particularily gorgeous but not ugly either. She's the kind of person who believes in natural beauty and doesn't care about all the Capitol wear.
