Description

:iconthehungergamesoct:

Name || Xeraphina Cotton
Goes by || Xera
Gender || Female
Age || Sixteen
Date of Birth || 12 April
District || Eight {{ secondary choice: District 5. Third choice: Disctict 3}}

Health Issues || Due to living in close proximity to factories and their smoke and fume output, Xeraphina's got weak lungs that leave her to suffer from coughing fits on occasion. The fits at time can end in her coughing up blood, but it happens rarely. Xeraphina also has some vision loss from spending time in smoky and fume-infested rooms for too long. 
Body Type || Average / Hourglass shaped frame. You could say she's big boned and fills out what she lacks in cellulite in muscle.
Eye Color || Brown
Hair Color|| Honey Blonde

|| Strengths ||
:bulletgreen: She has quite a bit of upper body strength from carrying bolts of fabric around and weaving heavier materials.
:bulletgreen: She runs pretty fast from her time as playing messenger.
:bulletgreen: Deft hands from learning to hand sew intricate details, work knots, and fasten small decorations.
:bulletgreen: Resistance to some airborne chemicals (specifically the ones that hang around the factories and mills).
:bulletgreem: She's a good actress and convince even the most stoic of her cause when she really tries at it.

|| Vulnerabilities ||
:bulletred: Easily gets short of breath from weaker lungs, though she is working on strengthening them again.
:bulletred: Trusts in others a little too easily when they show interest in either her work or aiding her family.
:bulletred: Back problems from working in the factories and mills, as well as hunching over projects.
:bulletred: Xeraphina puts up a wall to shield her real emotions and thoughts from others, so it could be said she isn't worthy of trust.

|| Family ||
:bulletblue: Mother - Chandra Cotton - Died when Xera was twelve in a factory fire that never got investigated.
:bulletblue: Father - Gerard Cotton - Died when Xera was thirteen from indeterminable reasons - presumably a broken heart.
:bulletblue: Older Sister - Ginevra Cotton - Eldest sibling; twenty years of age.
:bulletblue: Younger Brother - Tyson Cotton - Twin to Marjoulaine Cotton; seven years of age.
:bulletblue: Younger Sister - Marjoulaine "Laine" Cotton - Twin to Tyson Cotton; seven years of age.

Significant Other || Information not applicable.
Token || A pendant from a necklace that she found in her mothers's jewelry box. She has it on a thin, woven string and wears it around her neck, but hidden by her clothes. The pendant has a faded painting of what looks like a dark but unidentifiable bird in flight.

Personality with a touch of history || As much as Xera would like to pretend to be an enigma, she's an open book. After her parents died, Xera watched her older sister struggle to hold things together and support their family. As a result, she started picking up under-the-table jobs to whoever needed help. She did all kinds of work that desensitized her to getting her hands dirty to get things done, but of all the jobs she got, Xera loved running from one edge of the district to the other to deliver messages. She became known as "Jabberjay" to many due to this work, and continued doing the messenger duties even after she started working in one of the clothing mills. Diligent and hard working, Xera will do practically anything to ensure the survival of her family. A bit of a perfectionist, Xera loathes leaving work undone, and will take the extra time if it means that the result is without a flaw. Even then, she has an eye for the flaws in things, and immediately criticizes her work.
As time went on, Xera's friendly and bubbly personality eroded away into a colder and more determined disposition. After a fallout between her and her older sister, Xera learned to mask her icing-over personality behind a friendly smile and a laugh. {more info to be added}
