Aideen Cormick

Age: 13

District: 8

Gender: Female

Weapon of Choice: Slingshot, but she'll use knives if she has too.

Skills: Camouflage, speed, some survival skills.

Weaknesses: She'll trust anyone that laughs at her jokes. Being in wide open spaces, where there's nowhere to hide. Sometimes she can get too busy with her jokes, and not take life seriously, can be very dangerous trait, in the arena.

Backstory: When Aideen was young, her sister was killed by an escaped Mutt. Her mother cried for days and days. Aideen told her mother a joke, in an attempt to cheer her up. For a moment, it made her mother laugh. Aideen made it her goal, never to see her mother cry like that again. So, she learned as many jokes as she could, to make her mother happy. Her mother was driven to insanity, when Aideen's father died, when Aideen was 9 years old. Having lost her sister and her father, Aideen stopped telling them for her mother, she started telling them for herself. As soon as she could, she would find a place to hide, rather than working, and just tell herself jokes to stop herself from crying.

Appearance: Dainty, with two shades of blond hair, green eyes, pale. There's an almost starved look to her, with dark rings under her eyes that will never fade after too many sleepless nights.

Personality: Aideen comes across quite playful and carefree. Anything that she can put off until tomorrow, she will. When it comes to friends, as soon as she meets a person, she will tell a joke. If they laugh, they just made a friend for life. If not, Aideen will walk away.

Interview Angle: She will tell funny stories from her childhood, or tell a joke or two.

Bloodbath Angle: She will run away and hide. When the tributes have calm down, and divided off, she will scavenge whatever is left of the supplies.
