[b]Bio:[/b]
Lienna was born to a poor single mother outside a Gem village in the far North. From the get-go Lienna was taught to be self-reliant, not out of necessity but out of her mother’s need to have a child who could fare well on her own. Looking back, Lienna figures that her mother probably saw the Reaping coming, and predicted that Lienna may be chosen. She loved her daughter with all her might, however, and did her best to teach her how to be strong. [i]“A strong woman makes choices to improve her life, no matter what those choices may be,”[/i] she’d always said, [i]“A strong woman will never give up, not even when all hope is lost and everything is dark and broken.”[/i] But perhaps the most resounding of her mother's lessons was this: 

[i]"Water always finds a way."[/i]

This became a mantra for Lienna as she faced life’s natural challenges, but never did she truly understand what those words meant until the Reaping. 
On the day she was taken, Lienna shared tearful goodbyes with her mother, and while she loathed the idea of becoming a bride to a monster, her mother convinced her to go willingly. Lienna obeyed, knowing that it would be easier on her just to cooperate. However, her mother did leave her one remnant of home; into Lienna’s hands she thrust a tiny ivory statue of an owl, with shining amethyst eyes.

Lienna’s preferred use of her elemental magic is freezing water into ice, she is very intelligent but can barely read due to lack of formal education, (her mother taught her in other ways) and her white hair/skin and purple eyes are due to albinism, making her look quite odd but still quite attractive nonetheless.[/center]
