Name: Melinda Greenhill
Description: 17 years old. Short for her age, around five feet tall. A little bit pudgy from years of indulging on sugary treats that many others really wish she wouldn't eat so much. Her face is round-shaped and kind of adorable, with large, expressive eyes and a button nose. Her hair is chin-length, and thanks to the current day of the week, is dyed a vibrant shade of green. (She changes it up every day. Sometimes she goes for a wig if she can't be bothered, but today it's her actual hair.) She's wearing a black tee bearing the Hunger Games logo, overlaid by a green jacket that matches her hair, as well as jean shorts and bright red sandals with criss-crossing straps.
Melinda's personality can be summed up fairly well in one word: intense. Her family's moved around so much throughout her childhood that the constant uprootings have had a sizable effect on her: rather than draw into herself like other kids might, she launched herself towards the other extreme. She's always trying to meet people and make friends before she has to move again. She's also gotten rather used to the idea of changing things up so often, and she always wants to be in on the next big thing or go on some big adventure, even if she gets bored of things pretty quickly if they don't keep up with her.
If she doesn't like someone, she's not afraid to speak her mind, and rather bluntly, too. But she's not stupid about it! Nah, she gets herself in trouble on purpose most of the time so she can set herself on another adventure. And she's no stickler for rules, either, they were meant to be broken!
The darker side of her hyperactiveness is that she's afraid of commitment. The idea of being in a long-lasting relationship with anyone but her family kind of scares her, because she knows she'll have to move away someday and she just doesn't want to go through the heartbreak. She can't really get invested in friendships, either, treating them as something to keep her entertained while she's still around at her current school.
Another insecurity of hers is her weight. She leads such an active lifestyle that she thinks she should be practically anorexic by now, but her diet must outweigh it all, because she can't lose any pounds no matter how much she exercises. Comments about it can really get to her sometimes.
Last but not least, Melinda is a recent addition to Silver Hills, having just moved here a week ago. She's been buried in catch-up work so far, but she's more than eager to get out there and meet new people as soon as possible!
Specializations: Wind, fire, and explosives. :D
Skills: Spelunking from all the exploration of random caves she spots while walking way out from home. Distance running from making her way back before her parents know she's gone, though her height means she can't go much faster than average. Bike riding because when she does think to take her bike, it makes for a much more reliable method of return than running. Swimming because it's one of the few hobbies she's had that actually stuck for more than a month. And code-breaking because she likes to do puzzles like that in her spare time, to prepare from all the crazy adventures she just knows she's going to have someday.
Favored stat: Attack, very much so. She's a bit of a glass cannon.
