Their past/highlights of their past: How has this affected their people skills? How has this affected their appearance? How has this affected their personality and mental wellness? How has this affected their physical health?
At age 10, Melanie started going straight from school to the factory, where she'd work. her family was poor, like most peoples, but they were starting to lose money, as her mother had broken her arm on one of the machines, and can't work. She was continuous abused by the peacekeepers, but continued working to help her family. After these experiences she started putting her faith in fate. She started believing everything happened for a reason. She'd always been quiet, but this made her even more quiet and obedient. It hadn't affected her in a bad way, but more changed what she thought about life, and her way of life.

Attitude:
[image error]

Greatest fear:
Why?

Basic attitude on life:
She thinks what happens, happens. She's never really happy, but doesn't complain about it. She's just one of those 'meh, it's fine' kind of people.

What would cause her more pain than anything else?:
To have her necklace be taken from her, it's everything.

What would be the most wonderful thing that could happen to her:
She could live the rest of her life, not die, and maybe, somehow, move to the Capitol.

Priorities:
Getting herself up, to where she can live an actual good life

Goals after the Hunger Games?
She wants to try and approve her life, because if she makes it past the Hunger Games, it must be fate telling her she can move up closer to the Capitol and the wonderful president. There's only one fault with the president of course, him continuing the Games. They suck.

Insecurities:
Being expected to be a leader, people touching her, people watching her sew.

Personality

Greatest source of strength in their personality:
She's a great listener, and although quiet, is great to talk to if you want some support.

Soft spot: Is it obvious to others? If no, how do they hide it?
Wounded People, and her necklace. It's quite obvious if you're hurt, she will repeatedly ask if you're okay. She also clings to the necklace, and would completely give up if she didn't have it.

What needs to happen in order to accept a person as trustworthy and 'all right'?
If you can get her to talk to you, and actually have a conversation, she most likely trusts you. If she allows you to touch her, she considers you a friend.

Biggest vulnerability:
Her district, and her necklace.

Darkest secret: Does anyone know and if so then who?

Interview angle:

No

She thinks she'll be able to at least help people in an alliance and hold it out. She thinks that what happens, happens.
