Here's the info from our old 1x1!!! Glad to be resurrecting it :)
Jannah's Character
Name: Willow Freeborn
Age: 16
District: 7
Appearance:
Willow stands at approximately 5' 4", about the average height. In almost every other way she has an average body of a sixteen year old except for her toned arms. This likely stems from her work with an axe, as typical in her district. She is also not exceptionally beautiful and will often emphasize this by dressing simply, even by her district's standards.
Personality: Willow tends to be the quiet type, much preferring to spend time alone. As a result she maintains few close friendships. However, she has a deep connection with her family, doing what she can to keep them going. This is a trait that extends into the point of extreme stubbornness, something that can often create trouble for her. Despite maintaining a serious demeanour, Willow also has a soft side which she will sometimes express through humour and other forms of light-hearted interaction.
Bio: Willow was born into a family of lumberjacks, one of the key jobs of her district. Despite her family insisting from a young age that she learns the family trade, her interests lied elsewhere: woodcarving. This is something she'd often go off and practice after school despite her parents' direction. At first they disapproved, but then many others in the district saw her artistic merit as she began selling her creations.
Willow's artistic craft continued into her teenaged years, eventually catching the attention of one of her district's head peacekeepers. Without a second thought, he purchased one of Willow's pieces for a rather large sum. This finally convinced her parents to allow their daughter to pursue her own path. However, things never came to be. One day an illness took Willow's oldest sibling, leaving her with no choice but to help her family in the woods.

LoneSilverWolf's Character
Name: Sequoia Linson
Age: 15
District: 7
Appearance:
Somewhat lengthy hair, the front bangs dyed red; green eyes. Rather short for a guy, standing at 5'7." Like most in his district, he is rather bulky from cutting down wood, working the sawmills, splitting wood, etc. Usually wearing a simple white or grey T-shirt (or hoodie depending on the weather) and Jeans, holes ripped in the knees.
Personality: NOT much of a people person, Sequoia tends to be sarcastic in nature, often digging deep with his words when people irritate him or he feels they are getting too close. A loner by circumstance, as he has no family. Living at the district orphanage until he's considered old enough to be on his own, he keeps to himself, refusing to get close and make friends with people--but he will interact when necessary. In fact, he'll often make off color or sardonic remarks, making people either laugh or cringe--but he doesn't make friends.
Bio: Born to a family of woodcutters, that's what he does. If he's not chopping down a tree, he's splitting it, working the sawmills, limbing trees, or carrying logs. He doesn't much like the work, but does it anyway, to lose himself and get through another day. He remembers the happier days of his childhood when his family was alive--and when he actually had a friend, Willow Freeborn. The two grew up together, their families were very close--but some years ago, in their preteen years, the two were destined to lose contact. Having lost the only friend he ever had, and then losing his parents too, Sequoia became inwardly withdrawn, hiding himself behind a wall of sarcasm and pushing people away who try to get too close.
