Name: Finnegan Cross

Gender: Female

District: 4

Age: 16

Height: 5'7"

Personality: Finnegan is a complicated teenager. Her childhood was rainbows and fairies and happily ever after, but she eventually grew up and began to realize that that's not what the world is all about. The world is a dangerous place, and she knows it. She would never take part in a rebellion like Katniss Everdeen once did, but she is in fact a rebellious young girl. A few years ago, when she was 13, she was all "I'm now a teenager so I'm going to act stupid" and her and a bunch of friends spray painted the wall of the Head Peacekeeper's house. They were all whipped for their actions, and every time Finnegan looks at the whip scar on her hip, she knows she needs to be an obedient girl. She's very smart and laid-back, but she's also quite adventurous, and she would give anything just to come out of her stepmother's house for a little while. She's plenty shocked when she's reaped, but she doesn't show it. She doesn't really show that much emotion period. I mean, she smiles and she frowns, and she laughs and she cries, but there's always that dullness in her eyes that only a few people catch, and it makes them think, "She relies on emotion to cover up pain". Therefore, when she's reaped, she pretends to be confident so that she won't be classified as weak, and so that she's covering up how she really feels, which is obviously frightened and thinking, "There's no way I'm gonna make it out of this."

Appearance: Lunaii

Weapons: Trident

Backstory: Much of Finnegan's childhood has been forgotten, but there is one thing she remembers clearly. Her father forced Finnegan's older sister, Juniper, to volunteer for the Hunger Games. When she tried to object, he slapped her across the cheek. Just like Finnegan, after recieving a red mark on her cheek that would be there forever, Juniper volunteered. She was good in the Huinger Games; she was a true fighter and told her family that she would definitely come home. She didn't. She fell in love with a tribute and was backstabbed at the last minute. Finnegan's father didn't mourn over the loss of his firstborn. Whenever Finnegan tried to mention her, he would hit her. Eventually her mother decided she was done with him and left. Before she went away, she told her remaining daughter that she would take care of her every weekend while she stayed with her father during the week. Unfortunately, her father stopped allowing it after a while. Now she can only go over there once a month. Her father remarried to a woman that hates her just as much as he does.
