Name: Ember Tantum

Age: 15

District: 3

Personality: Quiet, genius, very clever, cunning, has trust issues, sneaky, has many ideas, brave, intuitive, indepedant, determined, strong-willed, tricky, interesting, quick witted, hides her inner self away, kind inside, really caring, has a sense of humour but acts serious

Weapons: Combat knife, wire traps, poison

Backstory: She grew up as an only child in the poorer area of her District. Her father was constantly at work in one of the nearby work places to earn for their family. Ember always took tesserae for the reaping to get some help for her family so she assumed one day she would be reaped based on the odds. Her mother always did what she could for the family. 2 months before the reaping her mother fell very ill to a disease that had recently been going around in her area. She was very sick and Ember and her father did all they could to help her but there was little they could do. They didn't have proper medical supplies. Now on the reaping day Ember's mother was still fairly sick and needed the nessesary medicine to recover. It would take quite a while for the family to build up the money to buy it. That day Ember spent all the day with her parents cherishing the moments they had in fear that she might be reaped. At the reaping she was chosen. Based on odds Ember already thought she had a fair chance of being reaped. She tried to seem indifferent when she got to the stage. Ember vowed to do her very best to win the games. She is determined. If she wins the family would instantly earn the money to pay for the medicine her mother needed.

Appearance: Wavy fiery red (like ginger) hair that falls to her shoulders and she likes to wear it in a tight bun, large-ish chocolatey brown eyes, pale skin, freckles, skinny, small build, 5'4, pretty in an almost child-ish way not quite, has a serious facial expression

Strength: Intelligence

Weakness: Swimming

Allies: Probably only one other tribute. They have to be really trustworthy to her and somewhat useful. If they attempt to betray her she would most likely stab them in the back but only in rare circumstances other wise she would get rid of them another way or just leave.
