"What's not okay is that I have to die just because Snow is scared my parents are gonna blow him up, that's not okay,"Elina Holly Duncan
Age:Seventeen
District: Thirteen
Weapon of Choice:Daggers and Throwing Knives
Strengths:Fearless:Elina isn't scared of anything, she literally lives life as if she has nothing to lose. She doesn't care if her words hurt people, she doesn't care if they get her in trouble. She is not one to sit idly by because what needs to be done might require some balls. She's got plenty of those. She would rather do it herself than let someone else mess it up anyways. Needless to say, she's a pretty fearless person.
Stealthy: Elina has always been really good at sneaking around, ever since she was a little girl she's been adept at getting places unnoticed. This is a great asset to her in the Games, as she's highly skilled in camouflage, sneaking, and tracking. She's an all around stealthy person, not really sticking out.
Intuitive: Elina is very observant, a deep thinker, and an active listener. She's really good at picking up queues and finding dirt on people just from listening to others talk and interact. She's highly intelligent, and skilled nowt technology as well.
Weaknesses:Smol:Elina is not a big person, and though she has good aim, she would lose badly in a test of brute strength as she doesn't have much of that. She's thin and only stands at five foot four inches tall. She's about one hundred thirty five pounds soaking wet, so she's a pretty small person. She's fast and stealthy, but if she's caught by someone who is much stronger than her, her goose could very well be cooked.
Slow to Trust: It takes a while for Elina to really trust someone, as she believes that trust has to be earned. She's not one to put her trust into many people, having dealt with a lot of people letting her down. She's got a wall up that has to be knocked down, but once that happens she's the most loyal person to have on your side.
Cocky: Elina is good at being stealthy and great with knives, and she knows this. She is very cocky when it comes to her skill level. She's pretty much cocky when it comes to just about anything, it's just in her nature. She's got too much confidence, and that can very much lead to her downfall.
Personality:Elina is confident to the point of cockiness, arrogant to the point of recklessness, and stealthy to the point of near invisibleness. She's not one to initiate a conversation, though she is one to finish one. She's quiet around anyone who doesn't piss her off, but once she's pissed off she's like a firework with no end. She's just a small angry person once you get her going. She hates anything to do with the Capitol, is a rebellious soul with a large attitude and the silver tongue to go with it. She can't stand a bully, though she also can't stand a weakling either. She hates lairs more than anything else in the world.
History/Bio: Elina was born in the late summer to Elbert and Malina Duncan of District Thirteen shortly before the war started. The war broke out when she was five, and Elina didn't have many memories of it. She spent a lot of time with her aunt during those days, her parents off working a lot and since her aunt was a tailor, it worked out perfectly.
Elina didn't know until much later that her parents had been involved with the rebels of District Thirteen, a rather large group of people who fought against Snow. But the terrible part was that they'd lost, Snow had won after a solid year of fighting, and then finally a deal had been struck.
Since most of the rebels had smaller children, the second part of the deal would happen much later once everything had been set up. But basically, all Thirteen had to do was dissappear off the map, they were to move underground and continue their lives there and Snow would spare them.
If, once everything was ready, the rebel's agreed to pool their children's names into the First Annual Hunger Games, a competition to the death of the Capitol's making. If they didn't agree to these terms, Snow would blow them all up. It really was a lose lose situation.
So years later when the First Annual Hunger Games had been announced, Elina's name had gone into the pot. She honestly didn't carw if she got chosen or not, she was simply pissed off about her being involved at all. Snow should have no say over her life.
