Willow Arstiad

Background
Willow grew up in a very poor family in District 8 that was entirely boys, apart from herself. Her mother had died in childbirth leaving the family with no moneyand another kid in addition to the 6 boys and father that there already were. She was the "spoiled"one being the only girl. Her father was too depressed to get a job and all the boys expect one were too young to work. The eldest sons, Maro and Clayton, got jobs in one of the factories and made enough money to barely scrape by. Things got better in their lives then tradedy hit. Maro was sent into thehunger games when Willow was 5. He made it to the final 3 but ended up dying in a feast. Then next year the same thing happened to Clayton. Only he died in the blood bath.

The family was so poor they were kicked out of their house onto the streets only able to carry one bag a piece of their belongings. Willow pack a weeks worth of outfits, her family portrait, a locket, and her charm bracelet. They all lived on the streets from Willow's 6th birthday until she turned 10. Willow went to work in a clothing factory where her job was to design and make the shirts out of the fabric. She fell in love with the job becauseshe was so handy with her knife and thread. She was a pro by the time she was 12. But when her best friend was killed in the games she decided she had to be prepared. So, when ever she got some time without anyone watching, she trained with knife throwing. She can only be a brutal killer After 5 years of this, she was only caught once. But also after 5 years, she was able to help provide even though it wasnt much. They are still on the verge of starvation.

Personality
Willow is a little tomboyish because she grew up with boys. She has her own sense of style that is a little strange, like layering fancy skirts with ripped up jeans and a tee. She is in her own little world at times but she really is a sweetie when she wants to be. Her father and brothers adore her her to death and so do her few friends, Araela, Rae, & Leslie. Maybe they love her because she has her own twisted sense of humor. Or Maybe because she has that innocent personality. Oh, or maybe because she is just Willow.
