Yeah, you can. I don't always do the quotes.
@Cryptid - The age has to be from 14-17 because the prince is 18. The history is fine to be a tbd. Just add it when you have time to explain her childhood. If Hope isn't a rebel herself then I guess the rest of her character is fine.

Name: Katniss Julianna LaughlinAge: 17
Caste: 5
Appearance: (please include a working link/picture):
Personality: Katniss is probably one of the most cheerful people you will ever meet. She sees the good in almost every situation, and is practically a all of sunshine and optimism, which admittedly can annoy a lot of people around her. This is to say, she recognizes that bad things happen in life, but believes people can learn from them and that things will somehow, in some way, get better.
She is open and honest and hardworking and absolutely loves her caste as a 5, where she can follow in her parents' footsteps as a dancer. She understands that the caste system keeps people in line and believes whole-heartedly in the monarchy.
As a romantic, Katniss was thrilled when she was Selected, and dreams of marrying the prince for love, and the only thing that would make her slightly sad if she won is that she would leave her caste 5 behind.
Compassionate and kind, Katniss wants to make friends, as many as she can, but never attended school or had enough money for a tutor, so instead has two family friends who are like extended family to the Laughlin's. She still likes to talk and make friends with any new people; however, she doesn't always have the best luck because she can be so cheerful and eager to meet people it turns others away.
Katniss is sensitive, and when anyone does say something hurtful it does deeply offend her, but she is not afraid to stand up to that person and make her opinion and defense known, and will do it for others, whether or not she knows them. She's a total extravert and loves her younger sister and parents, but has a strained relationship with her older brother, and is frustrated with her parents, the one spot in life, her family, being a darker topic for her and one she can get down about.
History/story: Katniss was born in Carolina to her parents, who already had a son, Merrick, to caste 5. Both parents were dancers, and they hoped that their children would follow in that path. Their home is small, but not horribly uncomfortable, and Katniss grew up happy with it, never seeking more out of her life.
She showed an early interest in dance as she liked to watch her parents perform, while Merrick, her older brother by about 4 years, took more an interest in sculpting and painting. At first, he and his sister got along with him playing the protective older brother trope, but eventually Katniss annoyed him with her excessive chatter, following him everywhere, etc., and he snapped at her when she was twelve and told her she was annoying and that he didn't love her, also devastated because she had their parents' clear favor over him.
So they began to not talk unless they had to, and it was unfortunate true that their parents loved their daughter more than their son, and when they had Bella, Katniss's younger sister, they doted on her more than Merrick, too, leaving him even more jealous and angry.
The atmosphere is full of tension in the house when Merrick is around, and Katniss has died to get her parents to explain why they favor the girls over him, but they won't provide an explanation, and while Katniss desperately loves her brother even though h hurt her, and wants to be his friend again, he won't let her in, which hurts her.
Like her parents, she dances, and began to bee hired at parties and audition for professional dance shows, taking lessons all as a child, and is very good at what she does. She never had a relationship with anyone save for crushes, but desires one day to love someone, and eagerly entered her name in the Selection.
Katniss wants to repair her family's relationship and get to the bottom of why her parents have her brother as a least favorite child, but they act like they never know what she's talking about when she asks them, and Merrick won't speak to her almost at all and was glad when she left for the Selection, even though he personally believes she'll be gone and back home within a week.
Her parents really are jerks with favoritism, and her mom always wanted girls only because she never liked her own brothers, and she married Katniss's father just for extra income. They fight a lot, and Katniss has to deal with that, too, even though she retains a cheerful, hopeful outlook on life.
Family (parent, siblings, etc): two siblings, older brother and younger sister, and two parents, all alive
Talents and abilities: dance, very talented
Likes: friends; dancing; family; vegetables; fruity candy; hiking and nature; animals, especially cats and dogs; running
Dislikes: water; small spaces; bullies and people who think they're better than everyone else; cruelty; anyone who bullies anyone else
Fears: her family unravelling anymore; her brother one day really hurting her; being teased and bullied; death; being judged; her family dying
@Elizabeth - I may have missed it in Katniss's profile but, what is her home province?
@Elizabeth - Okay, thanks! She's approved!
Name: Cobie Abigail Johnson Age: 17
Caste: born a 6, used sly, underhanded methods to enter the Selection as a 4--so what shows up on records is a 4 because she had pretty much no chance of getting in as a 6
Province: Hudson
Appearance: Cobie has bright green eyes; pale skin; a few faint freckles across her cheeks and nose. She is around 5’ 10”, so fairly tall, with a muscular body. She has dark brown hair, wavy, that she often pulls into a low ponytail or a thick French or Dutch braid down her back. She has a thinner face and high cheekbones, and a scar on the front of her left shoulder and another behind her right knee. She has rougher hands from using guns and working a lot, and scars across her back from an incident when she was ten.
Personality: Cobie is a very emotionally tough individual, and she is hard around the edges and not easy to speak to. Sarcastic and witty, she likes to poke fun at people and crack dry jokes. For the most part she does not care how her words or actions impact others, especially anyone of a higher caste, and hardly ever minces her words; she won’t put up with hardcore bullying and abuse, though, and draws the line there. But as she was chosen in the Selection simply to get money for her family and the people she lives with, and she has to mince her words and have a filter, which as challenging as it for her, she knows she needs to. The longer she's in, the longer she can get money and...yeah, maybe stab the prince and cause problems?
Since she was a small child, Cobie has always had an explosive temper, and she often looses her cool in situations where people start arguing with her, which is one of her larger weaknesses. Despite all of this and a hard, stony exterior to most people, she has a very soft spot for her family and anyone downtrodden by the government or anyone who wants to push people around for no good reason. Her mother and sister and those she lives with mean the world to her, and she would gladly and willingly sacrifice her life if it meant her family gets to live.
She is unafraid to kill someone if she absolutely has to, even though it will always be as a last resort; but if she is angry and wants revenge, she may kill and then regret it. She can be aggressive and violent, her limit is usually killing people. Skilled with shooting guns and hand to hand combat and using similar weaponry, she is tactical and smart. In terms of book intelligence/subjects typically taught in school such as math and science, however, she struggles with retaining the information, and patience is not her strong suit and never was, hence leading her to be a bit rash sometimes.
She is unafraid to steal from people if it helps others live, and will also exact revenge on those who hurt her twin sister and her loved ones--her mom and the people she and her family live with for support.
Even to others her age and of other castes, and even some in the rebels, she can bee harsh and unfriendly, and prefers being alone and for the most part finds people distrustful and suspicious, and would rather not engage in conversation with them. She likes to be active and hates waiting around and sitting and relaxing, thinking it all a waste of her time. She hates dressing up and dancing. It takes a very long time to earn Cobie’s trust.
Deep down, she’s kind of insecure, however, and yet also temperamental, stubborn, prideful, and kind of has an ego.
History/story: {Trigger Warning, bullying and abuse} Cobie was born in Hudson to Treanna and Anden Johnson, as Caste 6. Her parents worked as housekeepers/servants to a wealthier family of 2s, and that was all that was expected of Cobie and Caledonia, as well. The twins began working at the same house for that family when they were seven, but Caledonia found herself bullied frequently by the family's two spoiled children. As much as Caledonia tried to ignore it, Cobie would have none of it, and when she was ten, eventually ended up pushing both of the kids into a pool in revenge and later, setting the curtains in their room on fire to avenge her sister's mistreatment, while framing one of the wealthy family's children.
However, one of the parents found out about what had happened, watching the security footage, and Cobie was whipped in the square for her disobedience and her family lost their jobs. Enraged with her, her father turned his ten year old daughter out to the streets to fend for herself against her mother's wishes, and Cobie technically became an untouchable.
It was in this time that her father began mistreating her mom and sister out of his job loss rage as they struggled to find a new one, and Cobie would peer in the house to check on both of them when everyone else was asleep, her rage growing each day. She had began to steal and fend for herself to keep herself alive, living in an alleyway and hiding out, enraged at the royal family and the 2s and her own father. When she was twelve, she was caught stealing food for herself and her family--she had secretly dropped off what she could to help her mom and Cala--and was almost whipped again before someone shot the soldiers and grabbed her, knocking her out and taking her with them.
Cobie woke up deep in the woods to find a group of people who claimed to just hate the monarchy but aren't actually rebels, they just band together and hide out and steal to survive, who said they'd been keeping an eye on her for awhile now, and had determined to save her and told them of their plans and dislike of the way the monarchy ran things. Hot-headed and angry, she asked to join them, and the leader at the time agreed to take her under his or her wing and train her, and she cut a deal with the criminals to rescue her mother and sister from her dad.
So the criminals attacked her home the next night and saved her mom and sister, taking them with them, but the deal required Cobie to do whatever they asked. She saw no reason to refuse, and since then has helped them steal and find ways to survive.
Cobie wouldn't mind revenge and a better system, even if it does come at the cost of deaths of people who in her mind are terrible. Her father, a drunk and a lower caste because he never could find work, and eventually died of heart failure when she was fifteen. And while she hated him for what he'd done, she blamed the system for what happened.
When Cobie was nineteen, the criminals asked her to enter the Selection. Absolutely horrified, she refused, but then remembered she'd agreed to help them--so she knows that maybe she was being manipulated, but at this point she agreed fully with them, and the leaders probably would not have forced her if she had declined-- and she did want the inside information, and so she agreed, and found ways around the system to lie about her caste and enter as a 4. She is only there to earn more money and steal things, even if that means she has to set aside her tendencies for some revenge and sarcasm and pretend to fall in love with him, much to her disgust.
