RIVERS, JIMMI MAYA

[AMBER FO SHO]

Name: Jimena
Age: Eighteen
Gender: Female
District: District 4
Description:

Jimmi has dark red hair, so she's not your typical pelirroja. She has crystal blue-green eyes that look like somebody took the colors from the Carribean. She stands an average five foot five, long and lean and built like an athlete. She has lightly tanned skin from being outside, and her skin is soft and smooth from years in the salty waters. Her skin is not freckled, rather, it is all an even tone. A movie star model she is not, but she isn't the most hideous thing found in District 4.

You can find her typically in shorts and a light shirt, but you can sometimes catch her in a skirt of sorts. And don't expect her to pull her pin-straight hair back. You have another thing coming. Hair down, mini-skirts, and boy tee-shirts. At first glance, she might be the type of girl your parents would warn you about. But, once you get to know her, her appearance isn't what they should be worried about...

Personality:

Jimmi is a little bit off her rocker. And by a little bit, we mean a lot. While at first, she seems very quiet and withdrawn, once you get talking to her, you realize it's probably for the better. Jimmi has been abused most of her life. At least, what she can remember of it. She has a short term attention span problem, as well as multiple personalities. Whether these two are connected or not, we've yet to discover. Jimmi will not remember names easily, and if she doesn't see you for over a week, she will forget you ever existed.

Her personalities vary, but she has three main ones.
Jimmi: This is the main girl. Your quiet, withdrawn, shy girl who doesn't really know what's going on. She's really nice, once you get to know her, but she's very protective of herself, and only becomes friends with people who show her that she won't instantly be stabbed in the back. Jimmi is the abused.

Maya: Maya is extremely hyper, bounces off the walls, and pretty much acts like a complete idiot. She hardly remembers anything she does while in this personality, so many people declare her crazy if they meet her while she's in this situation. Maya is the childish.

Rivers: Rivers is the sad, depressed personality. This is the one that couldn't take the abuse and Jimmi had put all the memories into her. Rivers' name changes according to what District 4 girl has died, as she believes has died with them in the arena. Rivers is the dead.

While Jimmi may seem quite the crazy girl, all of her sides are very good fighters. She's grown up as a Career for the Games, and the abuse as only recently stopped because of this development. She works hard every day to learn new moves, and hopes every year to be called in the Games. While some Careers may be against her craziness, it should prove useful in a battle where pain must be ignored for the ultimate survival. She can handle far more than any normal person could ever imagine.

History:

Jimena's parents always wanted a boy. When they were given Jimmi, and no sons, her father was devastated. So, they named her Jimena, Jimmi for short. While the family tried, they were unable to have any more children, and therefore, Jimmi is the only child. She was brought up nicely, until her mother drowned on her fishing boat. Her father, upset about so many "good things in life" being denied to him, started abusing Jimmi at the age of ten. The personalities came not a year afterwards.

It wasn't until she turned sixteen that Jimmi truly became a Career. While she had been training for it her whole life, her father forcing her, the moves never strung together quite how she wanted them too. This increased the abuse. When she turned seventeen, she finally snapped on her father, killing him in the process. She now lives alone, somewhat heartbroken that she should have no known family left, and looking for somebody that maybe she can finally trust. And maybe this year will be the year she gets into the Games...
