Leta Dukeson

  Leta Dukeson

District Four

(This Character Belongs to Rebc29)  

  Personality  On the outside, Leta is charming and polite- when she wants to be. Otherwise, if she doesn't like you, she'll make sure you know it. But if she needs your respect, or something from you, she'll act nice till she gets what she wants. On the inside, she's cunning, swift, and cares nothing for others. She gets amusement from deceiving and toying with others. She especially likes to play with boys. She isn't known to go after younger boys, more older men. If there's emotions involved on their part, it's even better. She is rather smart, but more street smart than school smart. She absolutely loathes the Games, just because there'd be a chance that she'd die. Part of her is still just a scared little girl hiding behind her tough shell.

 History

 Raven and Estella were in love, and when Leta came it was a blessing. Raven worked long hours as a matinence worker on a large fishing boat. Estella weaved nets for the fishers. Since Raven worked most of the time, she raised Leta by herself. Estella got lonely, and did have affairs with two other men in the District. Rumors spread about Estella, and when Raven heard, he was furious. He skipped work one day, and went on a drinking binge. When Estella came home from work, he was waiting there. He had told Leta to go to bed, but she had been hiding in the corner of the main room of their small house. Raven confronted Estella about her adultery, and she denied it. They had a verbal fight, but it ended with Raven strangling Estella to death. He hid his wife's body, and told everyone that she had run away. He, in remorse, began drinking more. He soon got the reputation as the Town Drunk. Meanwhile, Leta was very close to her mother, and was an empty shell since then. She claimed that she was incabable of love, and so far has proved that right. She grew up a quiet, closed-off, ridiculed girl. When she was fifteen, something changed. She dropped out of school, and got a job weaving nets, just as her mother had. She became more social, and soon became the talk of the people her age. She grew past her reputation as "The Drunk's Daughter." She is now seventeen-years-old.
