Character name: Katniss Everdeen
Character Journal(s): inciting
Canon: The Hunger Games (Mockingjay, specifically)
Point of Origin: After she traveled to District 8 to shot a propo and ended up fighting a battle.
Appearance: http://images.wikia.com/thehungergames/images/8/8a/Katniss_promo_4.jpg
Katniss is a 17 year old, much more worn down then most. She had a solid amount of muscle on her. Although District 12 has issues getting food, Katniss' skills kept her better feed than some, and since winning and living in 13, food has always been steady.

She has dark hair usually braided back, grey eyes, and olive skin. Given her life style, she actually does not have as many scars as expected, as the Capitol wiped her skin clean after the first games. She had collected a few since then, but less then expected.

Background:

http://thehungergames.wikia.com/wiki/Katniss_Everdeen

Personality:

Katniss is not a selfish girl, however before being reaped she was a very self-centered girl. Her life revolved around taking care of her people. There was no spite there, just an exhaustion, both physical and emotionally. Taking care of her family after her father died left her with a severe case of tunnel vision, never looking past her immediate needs. Life was about one foot in front of the other, not about reaching for a happy ending. It wasn’t that she disagreed with Gale that the capitol was horrible, she just didn’t have the time or energy to focus on something she couldn’t change. Or you know, anything else that wasn’t getting food on the table. This leads her to sometimes missing things. People being so in love with her they’ll gladly die for her, for example.
That isn’t to say she is dumb, at all. When she is focused on an issue she is incredibly clever and resourceful. Especially when her life is on the line, whether it is figuring out how to feed her and Prim, to saving her and Peeta in the arena.

She also has a high sense of honor. She doesn’t like to be indebted to someone, and will always try to pay them back, and get out of their debt. Clearly not something that can always happen but something she always tries for. It is not just an issue of not wanting to be in debt to someone, although that is also part of it. But more than that, she feels like it is disrespectful to them to not pay them back.

Katniss is the kind of person who has becomes cast as a leader(a title she isn’t necessarily very good at) not because she seeks out to lead, but because no one else is stepping in to get the job done. This is why she has become the face of propaganda so perfectly. When she does commit to something, she commits to it all the way, and little can sway her. Stubborn and fearless. It is this fearless, no bullshit attitude that draws people to her. This isn’t always a good thing, given as how it has made her the figure head of a rebellion she didn’t plan to lead. It is a hard position for her to be in; on one hand she doesn’t disagree with the idea behind it, on the other it puts everyone she loves in dangers way, which is the opposite of what she wants.

She is not necessarily the best with emotions, to say the least. In addition to being somewhat obtuse to them, she doesn’t like to show weakness or be seen as weak, especially given the events in her life. Being weak, losing control can mean death. She can be cold, she can explode in anger, and when she’s handling emotions particularly well, shut down and run away from them.

In addition, since the end of the 75th arena she has been dealing with some mental issues. The blow Johanna dealt to the back of her head makes it hard for her to focus sometimes. In addition, a case of PTSD is starting to brew under the surface.

Abilities and Items:

Katniss is, to put it bluntly, a badass hunter and archer. In addition she is just generally good at surviving. She's good at making things work, she knows what to eat, what not to eat, what can heal. Her mother was an apothecary in District 12, which is what passed for a doctor, and although she doesn't rate up with her sister or mother in those skills, she can manage in a pinch.

Her canon point is directly after a propo video shoot turned battle. So she will be decked out in her personally designed Mocking jay armor which includes extra protection over the heart, a knife in the boot, and a poison pill in a pocket on her shoulder she can bite at even if her hands are tied.

Writing Samples:

There was noise, battle, Gale fighting by her side and then...nothing. Silence. This abandoned street before her.

She lowered her bow, looking around, brows knitting together in confusion. For a moment she wondered if she had some how blacked out, if hours had passed and she was waking on the streets of 8...but even as dilapidated as 8 was, it was in better shape then this city. And it hadn't been this cold.

Plus, is she had been left in the streets of 8, she doubted she would wake up there. One side or the other would have found her.

Any deeper pondering was cut off by a skittering sound. Turning, she let out a small sound of horror, backing up a few steps before she raised her bow. The creature was some kind of nightmare bug mutt, a giant, horrifying mantis. Had she ever seen the Capitol release such a skin crawling mutt before? None came to memory, but right now wasn't the time to spend reminiscing on the past games she's watched at home. Because whatever it was, it was coming fast.

She backed up as quickly as she could, glancing back to make sure there was nothing to trip her up. The thing has seen her, and decided she would be dinner, if she didn't take action quickly.

Knocking an arrow into her bow, she lifted it, hesitating for only a moment as she sized up where would be best to sink an arrow into this monstrosity, before letting it fly into it's larger eye.

The shot hit it's target, the monster pulling back and letting out exactly the kind of sound Katniss expect it to make. It made her blood run cold.

It might not be a killing shot. Although she really didn't want to sacrifice an arrow right now, especially not being sure where she was or what was going on, when the shot didn't feel the creature, she didn't wait around to see if it would succumb. Twisting away, she took to her own flight, running as fast as she could, until she was sure it hadn't followed her. Panting, she found a cranny to rest in.

Now to figure out what was going on.
