My first entry, hopefully you don't find her too boring. I just wanted to do a tribute who wasn't over dramatic for a change. There will be others coming soon. .3

Name: Clarke Wattson

District: 5

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Weapon: Knife, Blowgun. These weapons are slightly easy to master, and can produce deadly results, qualities which Clarke finds interesting about them, as she has never used any weapons prior to the games. She knows she could not handle the weight of a bow and the aim and uncertainty of a bow and arrow. She is very tactical when it comes for weapons, and doesn't use the ones others would want.

Personality: Clarke is an intelligent and courageous girl. She is wise beyond her years and very mature, often providing logical and intelligent answers to questions. She lacks in social skills, and is an introvert, she would much rather be in the company of a book than with some loud and obnoxious person. Clarke likes to absorb information, and she is resourceful and adaptable. She usually remains calm, and stays away from confrontation. She is caring and kind, though knows she must make sacrifices in order to survive and if anyone threatens her life she will not hesitate to kill them, she will do anything to avoid an early demise. She is a quick thinker and makes her judgment on people very fast, and is slightly outspoken on her opinions.

Backstory:

Clarke was born in the deprived District 5, despite it being one of the wealthy Districts some areas were stricken with poverty. The Wattson family home was in one of the, if not most deprived areas of the District.

A couple who doweled there never wanted to exceed one child, but first their daughter Reese was born, then their son Warren and finally, their unwanted  cost, who goes by the name of Clarke.

Clarke's mother was already unwell when Clarke was born, and the stress and energy used in giving birth to Clarke and the lack of proper medical supplies killed her. She died three days after Clarke was born. Her father would never forgive Clarke for that, as in his eyes Clarke was the killer of his wife.

He did take care of Clarke, making sure she did grow up healthy, not for her but for his late wife, whom wouldn't have wanted her child to die. Though she was never treated well, usually just added weight.

The family remained poor, and her fathers job at the power plant didn't give them enough money to buy the supplies they needed in order to survive. Clarke was known as the weak link. Reese was already married and leaving home, Warren was already on a list to be shipped off to the outer power plants where no one wanted to work when he was eighteen. Clarke was just there, and she wasn't wanted nor needed.

She soon became the only child in the household when Warren turned eighteen, and peacekeepers arrived at their door, taking him away in cars to the very far outskirts of the Districts, giving her father a sum of money. Clarke viewed this as selfish and cowardly, and would never forgive her father. She hasn't seen Warren since he was taken away.

Despite there being enough to sustain herself and her father, he still saw her as a killer. She didn't receive any physical abuse, it was mental and verbal. He openly called her a killer, told her he wished she was reaped. That's why he signed her up for tesserae, though she believes it was out of his own greed. Though despite the pain it would cause her, she knew he didn't care if she lived or died in the games.

Clarke lived through all of this, until it finally ended when she turned fifteen. She heard her name, and with sudden shock she stumbled to the stage, failing her goal to not look like a fool. She stood in front of all Panem, and knew despite there being no one who cared she was reaped, she would try to win, and win a life she lost the second she was brought out into this cold and cruel world.

Appearance: Clarke is nothing special to the eye, and one would not give her a second look. She has rusty red hair, usually tied into a long braid. She has round and brown eyes, and a tanned complexion. She is slightly skinny, and is not considered pretty by others. She is an average height at 5,6.

Strengths: Clarke is easily adaptable, and can usually find a way to sustain herself in other environments. She is also resourceful and uses everything to her advantage, while being incredibly intelligent.

<p style="border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Weaknesses: Clarke is very physically weak, and is small and frail and could not match any other tribute. She is often underestimated and viewed as a target by others. She also lacks climbing and swimming ability, as she has grown up in an urban environment.

<p style="border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Token (optional): Clarke always wears a piece of string around her neck, at first glance one would assume it is just simply black but it is many shades of black. Clarke used to weave this whenever things were bad, like her father and her brother being taken away. She wears it to show herself there is a reason she is fighting and why she won't let the arena be another piece of string on her necklace.
