Appearance || Seen as falling to the more attractive side of the scale, Pen fits the rather cookie-cutter vision of a beautiful young Career that simply wishes to perform well in the name of her district. She harbors deep chocolate hair color, similar to that of her mother's. Its straight, silky appearance is a rather prominent signature of her family's lineage, as the Huron's have carried the trait throughout several generations of women. Due to this, Penette often tries (futilely) to hide this fact. She isn't swollen with pride like most of her family, but has a much more level-head about their entire image. Putting her hair up in a bun or ponytail seems to take away from its more notable style, often infuriating her mother who claims her "hair looks amazing down," but really means "that's Huron Hair, flaunt it!". Where's the perfect little killing machine that also loved to show off her beauty; that baby girl that Mrs. Huron always desired? Hidden in the shadows of Penette's very core, maybe she had just what she desired, just maybe.
As well as her hair, Penette carries another family heirloom???her blue eyes. This isn't so much a noticeable feature as her hair, but it is still a part of what defines her as Penette Huron. It???s a clich?? belief, really, that those with blue eyes are all seen as prosperous, simply due to the pigment around their pupils. Pen cannot fathom the grounds for which this notion was built, as it only makes her distrustful of people like her with the crystal eye color. Why trust those that share something in common with her? She's not so credible a source herself.
Something unfamiliar to most others in the small Huron family is Pen???s rather average height. While the boy's in the family tend to tower, no one predicted that Penette would reach the height she did. She had always been smaller, but an elegant young adult that rounded in at about 5??? 6??? was nothing close to the height of her family members. It was average, and no one particularly aimed for average in the Huron family. She's no small matter for a girl of her age, however, compensating with a fiery attitude and slightly large build. Whether it is from training at the academy, wrestling with her two older brothers, or simply a genetic wealth, Penette has a healthy physique. She is not as swollen with muscle like her brothers, but the girl still has quite the definition. This trait, even though somewhat doused by her height, creates a girl that looks quite intimidating, if it weren't for the charismatic smile that always plays on her features.
Yes, yes, everyone may say they have a "winning smile," but in truth, Pen honestly does. She often can't help but let the wide grin split her features. It???s normally just a reaction to being nervous or stressed, but also comes out when she is angry but actually can't do anything about it. When filled with silence but portraying her grin, Pen is simply making it known that she doesn't know what to say and possibly doesn't have anything to say at all. She doesn't like this cheesy aspect of her, but it has definitely become something she is known for. "Smiley" or "Smiles" are the teasing nicknames that her brothers constantly annoy her with, and she often dissuades anyone else from using them.
Personality ||
Penette is quite the complex person, as she often finds even herself doubting how to react to different scenarios and how to behave around others. She's blunt to a point, due to years of hardening with her brothers. Telling people that she doesn't like them or that they are doing something that annoys her is her specialty. No one is allowed to bother Pen without being notified. Even if she has the guts to say something, it more often than not, results in an undesired solution???laughter. Why everyone always assumes her to be kidding, even if it is really an intended bite from her slightly wicked sense of brutal honesty, Penette never understands. She tells it like it is, normally flashing her cheesy grin in the process, whether unconsciously or out of habit. This is most likely the reason why no one seems to take her seriously, believing she just has rude humor.
Penette is also quite apathetic to those around her, hence her lack of care for how people take her "honesty" (except when they irritate her by taking it as a joke). This sprouts from her hatred of awkward situations, which always happens when someone is upset around her. She simply doesn't understand how to handle the situation and often resorts to anger in order to fix it. "Get over it," often spills out of her mouth when she really just wants to say, "I'm sorry." This paints the image that Pen really doesn't like anyone, not even those true friends who come asking for some support in a tough situation. A heartless Career to many, Penette often finds she can't express her true feelings to others. Whether her apathetic side is legitimate, no one really knows.
Her tendency to be cruel often leads her to be judgmental of many. She's quick to snap and quick to categorize. On her first encounter with you, it's either she likes you or she doesn't. There really isn't a between and the task of moving categories is something accomplished by very few. As well as judging others hastily, Penette's habit of losing her temper is quite notable. She isn't one to go out of her way to make enemies and prefers the saying "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer," but often finds herself with a long list of adversaries due to her short fuse. It only takes a few wrong words or an ill-timed sentence to make her vicious. She doesn't stand for people getting in her way or causing unnecessary stress to her life. Doing what she has to in order to get by is how Penette works.
If you do, in some form of a miracle, ever end up reaching the truth about Penette, you've got a real friend for a long time. This girl knows what it means to be willing to sacrifice for someone and if you can earn her respect and faith, she'll go the distance for you. Once someone gets past the Career part of her, they will definitely be rewarded for their determination. She doesn't like to admit it, as it doesn't quite fit the image most people have of her, but Pen can be a true softy. Many times, the girl will become emotional over little things, keeping it to herself and letting the feelings bubble in her stomach. This fact also makes her quite vulnerable to those who are willing to get to know her, as it leaves an opening for someone to hurt her. Making real friends is a hard task because of the fear Pen harbors for letting others get too close. Her Career front is a way of getting rid of that risk.

Token || A small, wooden and red ball on a silver chain. It is meant to signify the phrase her dad used to tell her all the time. "Just get the ball rollin' and go with it."
Skills || Penette's strengths fall mostly in the category of physical attributes. She has muscle and speed, which allows for skilled hand-to-hand combat. Her weapon familiarity centers around the Spear family, the brunette having grown up around them her entire life. While some grabbed swords, she enjoyed training with tridents, harpoons, and pikes. Anything that fell in the category of spear-like, the girl often found herself drawn to them. Like a deadly extension of her arm, the girl has mastered the art of handling spears, even with the more difficult task of throwing them for long distances.
Weaknesses || This girl? This Huron girl? Have weaknesses? Well, no. She doesn't. At least, not in her eyes. While educated in the basics of wilderness survival and capable of doing more than most other Careers in terms of self-sustaining, Penette has never experienced true wilderness. She also doesn't know hardships, at least, not like the other District tributes have probably faced. As well as her cushioned lifestyle, Penette is blinded with her own attitude. It is not that she sees no flaws, but rather that she will never see herself failing until it is too close to avoid.
