District 9, Female:

Age: 17

Appearence: Long, glossy black hair which is slightly wavy, green eyes with flecks of brown in them and a really light tan (product of being very pale, but being out in the sun all day)

Skills/Weapons: Since Katherine lives in District 11 she's familiar with many plants, nuts and berries so she wouldn't be attracted to feasts for food. She's skilled with a knife, since she usually walked around the crops all day cutting down excess leaves or just barren plants. She knows how to work slingshots, crossbows and spears because her dad was insane and wanted to teach her and her younger sisters how to use weapons. She really wants to learn how to use the bow & arrow in training.

Strategies: Run as fast as she can towards the forest, pick up anything on the side of the Cornucopia while in motion and try to stay out of the fight. She'll also try to make an alliance with her district partner since she assumes the Capitol will like him more then her.

History: Katherine was mainly the outsider in school. She had a couple of aquantinces here and there but she never really tried to make any long lasting relationships. Unlike her, her two sisters, Rosemarie and Eleniel are really popular at school and surrounded by friends and all. The only person Katherine mainly contacts with is her older brother, James. She really looks up to him and learnt everything she knows from him (excluding her weapon lessons with her dad) Her dad was killed when Katherine was 15 for illegal hunting in the premisis, but not before he filled all of the girls heads with killing strategies, fighting techniques and weapon how-tos.

District 9, Male

Age: 17

Appearence: Sun kissed blonde hair in waves over his forehead, midnight black eyes and the same skin tone as Katherine.

Skills/Weapons: Gabe knows all there is to know about hunting and foraging. He secretly used to watch Katherine while her dad was giving her lessons on weapons so he knows everything she still questions. He'd probably try to make a pair of bow & arrows in the forest but he'd prefer if he was sent a pair.

Strategy: Try to grab a backpack if he's able to but mainly just team up with Katherine.

History: Gabe is the oldest kid in his family, he has a 12 year old sister - Ribbon, a 16 year old sister named Katerina, a 12 year old brother named Matthew and another 16 year old brother named Jay. He has an okay amount of friends at school and he's very charismatic. He usually spied on Katherine when her father was giving her lessons but they never found out.

District 9, Female

Age: 16

Appearance: Blonde hair, keeps a braid on one side and usually puts flowers in it. Crystal Blue eyes, is also extremely pale.

Strategy: She's sneaky, cunning and ... beautiful. It'd be a deadly combination to sabotage most males of the games. Wrong for her though. She was reaped for The Games and to her dismay, her boyfriend, Echo was also reaped. She plans to basically just stay alive with him and not kill anyone, unless she's sure it's safe or it's needed. Being in a District who mainly hunts she won't be tempted by food in feasts or going into the Cornucopia because of it. She's experienced with all weapons and she's also a pretty good actress. She hopes to fool the Gamemakers to giving her a very low training score and that her Stylist will make her look 'adorable' and 'childlike' so she doesn't look like a threat. She thinks that once she's in the Games and reveals that she's good at something she'll get sponsers.

Weapon of Choice: Bow & Arrows

History: Sapphire is an only child. Her father died early, being attacked by a family of leftover Tracker Jackers in a forest. He was hunting one day and accidentally shot a nest. Because of that Sapphire learned to take care of herself and her mother, she doesn't have any weaknesses. She likes it that way. Being pretty is also pretty useful in her opinion, it makes her look weak. She doesn't have many happenings in her life, it's all been the same since she was 10.

District 9, Male

Age: 17

Apperance: Shaggy brown hair and long bangs, violet eyes and tan skin.

Strategy: Look weak. Stay with Sapphire. Find shelter. Find water. Get sponsors. Fight. Stay Alive. He knows how to use machines, and has very good aim. He's also a very good listener and moves at an immense speed. He doesn't trust anyone (except Sapphire, in the Games) and he won't eat anything he doesn't for sure recognize.

Weapon of Choice: Machine Weapons or Crossbows

History: Echo has 2 other brothers and one younger sister. He was never afraid of The Games and didn't need to be. He never took tesserae and he made sure his siblings didn't either, hunting was great for him. He has both his parents an lived an OK life back at home. He and Sapphire had good grades and he was happy. Until he got reaped. He's decided to keep Sapphire to the end, and will not go down easy.
