D9 Female

Chrysanthemum "Chrysa" Knight 16

Personality: Gentle, but determined and brave. Always has a kind word for everyone, but sometimes there is that occasional person that pushes her buttons, and her temper can show through her normally carefree and happy personality. Sometimes she can get sad, thinking of her past, but her energy usually pushes it aside. Her sadness is known by only a few that get close to her, and even though she is friends with basically everyone, no one is truly close to her. When in the face of fear, she is always calm and rational, and knows just what to do. Her geeky personality sometimes shows, but she has always wanted to cover it up, because she used to be made fun of for it. Through and through, she's a loyal friend who can see into your heart and ultimately find your true weakness. She's very intuitive, and when someone is hurt, no matter how good a liar someone is, she can tell. She's got a great sense of humor, and always knows what to say in a tense situation. Chrysa never falters in humiliation, but is hurt inside. She's good at putting on a brave face for the sake of others. Her kindness is undeniable, and she cares for the weak.

History: Her emotional pain started when she was 6. She witnessed a public execution of a thief, and cried a lot after. Her parents were never the most loving, and sometimes abused her physically and emotionally. Beating her, telling her she was scum, getting drunk and hurting her. She finally ran away to live with a friend, never saying what had happened at home. Though her parents were awful, she still loved them and didn't turn them in.

She started training when she was 10, realizing that in a few years, she might get reaped. Money was scarce, so she started hunting, something totally new to her. At first, she was dead scared, but was inspired by the story of Katniss Everdeen, and ventured further and further. She became quick and Strong, and learned the forest's ins and outs.

Weapons: Bow and arrow and knives (both)

Strengths: Chrysa is very brave, and can stand pain much better than others. She's very good with her weapons, and is confident. She knows survival skills better than most, and can make fires, knots, and knows lots of edible plants. She's good with minor healing, like scrapes and fevers, but nothing difficult. Hunger is natural, and she requires less food then most her age. Her resourcefulness is also very handy, and she can turn some tin cans into a shelter. Agility, reflexes, flexibility. She's a decent swimmer and an okay climber, but she has her limits. Her courage and intelligence are her greatest strengths.

Weaknesses: She can only climb about 30 ft heigh, and she can only hold her breath for 2 minutes if she's extremely lucky and rested. Her pain can make her go silent, and when she meets someone that really upsets her, she can have a temper.

Token: a small grain from the first wheat stalk she harvested. It is preserved in a glass heart shaped locket.

Appearance: long silky caramel hair with blonde highlights, soft blue eyes with silver flecks, smooth rosy cheeks, flawless cream colored skin, tall and elegant, muscular and healthy, pink rosebud lips that are often in a smile, very pretty

Interview angle: brave and confident. Smart and clever.

Bloodbath Strategy: avoid main bloodbath but grab small things on the outskirts, find alliance

Games strategy: lay low with alliance until the end
