Name: Lyra Hope Platinum

Gender: Female

Age: 13

District: 1

Appearance: http://www.cineol.net/galeria/fotos/s...
(face claim: sammi hanratty)

Eyes: a blend of blue, green and grey

Hair color: caramel with a bit of brown

Weight: 53 kg

Height: 152 cm

Personality:

Quiet

Lyra is a pretty shy, quiet girl. She's social, but not very social. She'd rather sit in a corner and read or something than talk with a bunch of people. She's shy so she won't often go and talk to someone randomly, but she will with people she knows. Lyra isn't a loud, crazy, fun girl but she is sweet and caring.

Mature

Lyra is rather mature for her age. She isn't like most girls-obsessed with boys, dresses and looking good. She doesn't act childish-or like a twelvie. She's responsible, she has a good sense of self-respect and respect for others, she's honest, she's committed-most of that stuff.

Adventurous

Lyra loves a good adventure and a little bit of excitement. She loves to break free from her comfort zone and try new things. She'll often look for opportunities to try anything new.

Kind

Lyra, like most people, is kind and caring and will help people if she gets the chance. She's not mean or anything, but she's generous, sweet and friendly. She'll accept anyone just the way they are and not judge them.

Afraid

Lyra obviously has fears and can be very afraid-and lose her confidence-depending on the situation. For example, she's terrified off the games and would rather die than participate-even though she'll probably die in the arena.

Weak

Lyra isn't the best at fighting. She can throw a good punch or two, but is overpowered most of the time, after a while. She can use a weapon, but she hasn'r had much experience with them.

History:

When Lyra was 8, her parents enrolled her in training to become a Career and eventually participate in the games. Lyra was terrified and once or twice ran away, but was found and returned. As the years passed, she began to enjoy training with everyone else.

When Lyra was 11, her brother Calix died after being hit by a car. He and Lyra were out one day picking up a few things from a friend's house. It was a windy day and Lyra had shrugged on a coat. The wind picked it up and it landed on the road. Calix wanted to retrieve it, despite Lyra telling him it didn't matter. After checking that the coast was clear, he ran out a grabbed the coat. Then a car came speeding around the corner. It was going to fast to stop, and rammed in Calix.

Lyra was heartbroken when her brother died. They were the best of friends and also hung out together. Lyra blamed herself for his death, because she didn't stop him from running out. She kept Calix' necklace afterwards to remember him by.

She was reaped at 13 by chance, and no one volunteered for her. Lyra was totally unprepared-she was wanting to volunteer at 18.

Lyra's weapons of choice are daggers and knives and occasionally a spear

[ First Name ] Adela
[ Middle Name ] Frances
[ Last Name ] Merak
[ Nickname(s) ] Red Bird ⇢ a nickname only reserved for her family. No one has called her that since their accident. If they weren't either of the two, they weren't likely to call her that again without so much as remembering what happens when they do.

[ Age ] 16
[ Date of Birth ] April 11th
[ Gender ] Female
[ Sexual Orientation ] Asexual ⇢ people are pawns, in Adela's opinion. Romantic attractions are trivial. Of course, this could all just be something that she may grow out of. If she gets the chance to grow out of it.
[ Relationship Status ] Single

[ District ] Nine
[ Weapon(s) ] Scythe, carving knives
[ Survial ] She'll likely make it very far in the games.

[ Appearance ]

[ Face Claim ] Daria Sidorchuk

[ Hair Color ] Rusted red
[ Eye Color ] Hazy green/oceanic blue ⇢ getting a straight answer to this all depends on which lighting you're in. Her eyes have a habit of changing color, or being what are known as "galaxy eyes". You can see both colors when there's little to no light, almost glowing.
[ Height ] 5'0"
[ Weight ] 100 lbs
[ Distinguishing Mark(s) ] Aside from her eyes, the only other distinguishing marks she has are her freckles and a scar on her right hip. Her face is dotted with a constellation of reddish-brown freckles, that compliment her features. Most are cereal used around her nose and under her eyes, but there are a few strays kisses from the sun tucked back her chin and jaws. The scar, a jagged and puckered line, reaches from her thigh to her hip bone.

[ Personality ]

To everyone around her, Adela seems like a sweet and innocent young girl, someone who is too weak to stand on her own. At one point, she might have been like that, but not so much anymore. She still keeps up with this image, as she's decided that it's the best way for her to continue going about her life without so much of a peep of protest from those around, in terms of her general being. You wouldn't really notice that she's far more dangerous than she appears, unless you catch her with a certain look. It's this sort of wild look that portrays just about every bit of malicious intent she could ever have for a person. She isn't, after all, one to half-heartedly do things. Though, if you were to ask someone how she was before the accident, you likely would have gotten the same as now from most people: sweet. She represented a sort of purity that was unobtainable, uncorrupted.

She used to have an affinity for helping others, and was known to gallivant through the town as happy as anyone could be. Bright smiles and cheerful laughter were the things that people marked her by, and she lit up their days with joy. She still has that sort of bright light about her, as far as everyone knows, but it's tinted with darkness. She's got a new edge of cruelty hidden behind a passive smile and wickedness laced into a innocent laugh. They perceive her to be stupid, or stricken with a grief so strong it's like she erased its source from her memory. What they don't seem to think possible is the fact that she's biding her time and waiting for the opportunity to strike. Adela has ambitions, and even if people don't often see or notice them, they're there. They lurk within her mind always, a time when she can really be who she is, now at least. If she must crush others to get to what she wants, it is of no consequence to her.

As aforementioned, people are simply pawns to her. Their feelings mean nothing to her, and if they get in the way, they must be eliminated. If she sees them as useful, they might live long enough to serve her will. When their utility is up, so is their time with her. She has a way with manipulating people that's really quite special. She'll be what you need at any moment, and when it's time for her to get you to do something, it'll seem like you came up with the idea all your own. You'll think you're the brightest, most clever person in the world, and before you know it, you'll come crashing down from that fantasy because she brings you down. You will be desperate for that feeling again, and she'll exploit that fact, adding your weakness to her strengths.

It'd only be fitting to say that she will very likely be the one to rule your world, if you aren't careful.

[ Strengths ]

✦ Manipulation ⇢ Adela can certainly keep you thinking that you're a genius, and it'll be all dandy. But just know that that is the very thing that keeps you wrapped around her finger.
✦ Cruelty
✦ Deception ⇢ She's been deceiving people for years, so obviously she's doing a good job of it. Or, everyone else is pretty much stupid.
✦ Apathy
✦ Strategy

[ Weaknesses ]

✧ Stamina
✧ Murderous Tendencies ⇢ You may think that this might be helpful in the games, but in terms of her strategy, it doesn't work out well for her. She has a murderous itch that's very hard to scratch, and is only satisfied in the most gruesome of ways.
✧ Speed
✧ Apathy

[ Likes ]

✦ Blood
✦ the color red ⇢ the color of blood, you know.
✦ Knives
✦ Death, and watching people die

[ Dislikes ]

✧ Smiling
✧ People

[ History ]
There was a time, many years ago, when Adela was actually a normal girl. She was born to two relatively normal people, both as happy as can be with their newborn daughter. She laughed and giggled, and played and ran like any normal child. They had a son before she was born, Elijah. The older brother welcomed his younger sister with open arms, and the two of them were happy.

When Adela turned nine, things changed. Her brother distanced himself, only two years older and already being bullied by his peers for hanging around his sister. So, he often left her to play alone. It was this same playing alone that got him into trouble. He shouldn't have been playing in the fields that day, and her father should have seen him earlier. He was, however, slightly too drunk from moonshine to see straight. Adela had followed after her brother to play with him and his friends when the harvesters and tractors were coming in. Her mother saw them first, and was also among the first to throw herself into the see of machines.

While the children were unable to see the machines, but they could certainly hear them. They couldn't hear the shouts over the machines, the sickening crunch of bone. When the machines died down, they were in too close. Her brother was caught in one before it could stop in time, and his hands held on to her leg, long after his body was hacked and sliced. She found herself caught, her leg in up to her hips. Luckily for her, she didn't get much but a long, jagged gash from thigh to hip. Her brother and mother had not been so lucky.

Her father, stricken by grief, took to drinking. He drank himself nearly to death, until one day he just couldn't make the effort to drink. He went about the motions of his life, and tried to live to the fullest for his daughter. However, his daughter would never be the same. While she continued in being a ray of sunshine before her father and neighbors, she thought of ways to exact her revenge on those involved. It wasn't something a girl her age should have been fixated on, but every time she closed her eyes she heard the screams and saw the blood. Hell, she had a reminder on her body from it all. But the boys her brother played with, they didn't. They got off clean, no a single scratch.

When the first of the bunch was heard screaming in the pig pens, being eaten alive, people didn't realize who could have been behind it. They didn't see Adela in the shadows, or the glint of the knife in her head. They didn't make it to the boy in time, and he became fodder for the pigs. The rest of the boys began to die off, in ways that seemed like harmless accidents, and people chalked it up to fate taking back what it had lost. They forgot and moved on, but Adela never really did. That kind of thing sticks with you, taking a life. Taking more than one, will never leave you. It haunted her in a way that she liked, and she wanted to do it again.

And again.

And again.

[ Family ]

✥ Jaqueline Merak ⇢ mother ⇢ deceased
✥ Anthony Merak ⇢ father
✥ Martin Merak ⇢ older brother ⇢ deceased

[ Other ] At the Reaping, she thought she heard the voice of her mother calling out to her, and she answered. Everyone's opinion of her grief solidified just a bit more.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A THEME SONG TO CINDER!!!!!!!

It's Human, Christina Perri.
