Name: Paisley Paperman, Paisy Age: 18 Gender: Female District/Area: District 8 Appearance: Paisley's looks are pretty regular. She's half Asian so her eyes are almond shaped but are also wide like American eyes. She has long, ebony/black eyelashes and her eyes themselves are a mix of soft blue and bright green with an extremely dark ring of black around them. She loves her eyes. This is mostly because they greatly show her personality.
Paisley's pretty tall. She's approximately 6 feet tall and she's not thin but she's not fat either. She has medium sized fingers and big feet. Her nose is extremely messed up and it's obviously been broken multiple times. Paisley's right hand is missing and that makes it so she can't shoot arrows at all. She wasn't left handed but she trained herself. She has no freckles and her smile is super big, almost ear to ear. Her hair is black and ends just slightly past her shoulder blades. It's not curly but it is really wavy.
She often wears loose sweat pants and loose, brightly colored t-shirts. She always wears a hat of some kind and usually pulls her hair up in a messy, poorly constructed ponytail. Her shoes are bright yellow canvas sneakers and she loves wearing them. Her skin is pretty pale and smooth. Personality: Paisley's always been a strong spirited kid. And now that she's older she's an extreme rebel. Once she gets an idea or really into something, she will not give up on it. She's outspoken and strong but she's not sad or depressed. She always finds something to be happy or optimistic about, no matter what. She even finds ways to be optimistic about her missing hand
Pailey's also very sarcastic and smart assy though. She always has to have the last word. About everything. Even though she's eighteen, she acts extremely childish most of the time. She's joyful and cheery. Some might accuse her of being not wanting to acknowledge how bad the world is and people's situations are, but that's not it. She's knows how bad things are, but Paisley thinks that people are way too serious and she knows that without happy go lucky people, everyone would be depressed. So she stays joyful, childish, and happy. Because of her childish personality, her mother is very protective as she still sees her as a child.
Another thing about Paisley is that she is very easily offended. She takes tons of things personally but the good thing is that she can't hold grudges for too long so she's never angry at someone for too long. She's especially sensitive if she's tired or in a bad mood. Then you just wanna avoid her. But luckily, she's not in a bad mood very often. History: I probably should start with what happened to Paisley's hand. When she was 14 she offended an older boy in a big gang. And he took out a knife. She started to run and the boy threw the knife after her, just meaning to miss her. But she raised her hand to block her head just as he threw the knife, and it sliced off her hand. Fortunately, her family was very rich and they got the wound fixed. However, they couldn't afford a fake hand..
Paisley's family is actually still pretty rich. Her mother is fast worker at the clothes factories and her father works as a bank manager, so they get paid a good amount. Not as much as other people, but still a lot. Paisley is pretty spoiled because of the amount her parents get paid and because she is their only child.
Paisley almost always is arguing with her parents. She never likes to take responsibility for anything she does wrong and she never likes to lose any debate of any kind. Once when she was grounded, she tied a rope to her bed and threw it out her window, sliding down it and running off into the woods. Her parents never found out.
She doesn't have many friends as lots of people think they'll get in trouble if they're friends with her. They're probably right. But she likes to hang out by herself. She's kind of a drama queen and likes to start problems or debates and cause scenes. She is who she is and she takes pride in that. She knows her strengths and weaknesses but she doesn't try to change them. She likes herself the way she is. She's a good kid overall and that's all she needs.
She looks like her mother but acts like her father. Her parents love her a ton and they didn't think they needed another kid. Paisley once got into a big fight (she gets into fights all the time, but something really bad actually happened in this one) and she broke a girl's wrist. She got in huge trouble for this, and the girl's family nearly sued. However, the family took pity on them since Paisley didn't have a hand. Codeword: oDair Comments/Other: N/A

[justify]Hi Sam! So overall, this looks like a good character, but there are a couple things that don't seem very plausible. For starters, we like to take brand names off of any clothing or other items, because the converse factory probably isn't still running in Panem.... maybe she just wears canvas sneakers (essentially what the brand Converse Sneakers are)?
Also, she probably won't be able to afford a fake hand. District Eight is one of the lower districts, meaning that even the richest of the rich (and by that I mean the mayor's family) probably wouldn't be able to afford that kind of technology. So if her hand got badly mangled... she'd probably just have to deal with it, just like she has to deal with her broken nose.
Anyways, just fix those two things up, and we'll take another look. Thanks!
