THE DAMAGED DOVE —
florencia , known among those close to her as being graceful in her movement and appearance , and protective of those around her , is hard-working but reserved , incredibly independent , and cautious . both of events , other things around her , and of others . however , she is incredibly loyal to those she supports , and those she’s close to . she is creative and can be very caring to people she likes , but is also incredibly callous , insensitive . she does not necessarily intend offence , but often says things that upset others without really understanding why it is upsetting .
( tw for : abuse , violence , trauma , forced prostitution , death )
i . THINK WE’RE BOTH FUCKED UP & THAT’S ALRIGHT — FLORENCIA KAELIN grew up in district two , the youngest daughter of three . she was expected to volunteer , so she did . except she volunteered when she was FOURTEEN , not eighteen like planned . she saw it as a way to escape a bad home life .
to the public , karina and nico kaelin were wonderful . beloved by their district , well respected . their eldest daughter VOLUNTEERED for the games , and although she didn’t WIN , she lasted long enough and made enough of an impression .
behind closed doors , karina and nico were CRUEL , expecting nothing less than perfection from their children . when liana didn’t win , they turned to their younger daughters . florencia and her older sister were pushed to be THE BEST . and it was agreed that her sister would volunteer . but florencia wanted to get away from her family . she didn’t want to wait another TWO YEARS . so she volunteered before her sister could even open her mouth . the words had already escaped her and their escort had barely read out the name of the female tribute .
ii . SO YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT POWER — she had grown up MAKING WEAPONS , had made her first bow by herself . but she’d also grown up learning to put on an image of herself that wasn’t REAL . she PLAYED into her sponsors’ HEARTS , the pretty young girl from district two who they LOVED .
like any other , her games were VIOLENT , and while they lasted long enough , they did not last LONG . she played games , trapping the weaker and playing with the stronger , manipulating them into her own hunt . when interviewed later , she plastered on the same innocent face she’d done before , claiming it was just what she had to do .
iii . I EAT BOYS LIKE YOU FOR BREAKFAST — she became a FAVOURITE in the capitol , spending time with the elite and playing into their desires . while it was FORCED by president snow , she learned to use it for her own ENTERTAINMENT . her time in the capitol turned into a game . she found entertainment in others , and her time spent with the elite AMUSED her . she learned more about them than she’d ever wanted to know .
what she wasn’t expecting was to start caring about a capitol man who had taken a liking to her enough to take her through any luxury she desired . snow had set them up , another man in the long list of those he had forced her to be with . but this man made all sorts of promises , taking care of anything she needed or wanted while she was in the capitol . she later discovered he hadn’t wanted her company either , and their early interactions remained platonic behind closed doors .
iv . LOOK AT WHAT YOU’VE CREATED — her father DIED when she was on her victory tour , and her mother had AN AFFAIR with a man she met after her mourning . DELLA KAELIN was born when florencia was nineteen , and her mother died in childbirth . her older sister wanted nothing to do with the affair baby , believing that their mother had cheated , despite their father being gone . the father refused to acknowledge that he had a daughter , and florencia took della .
florencia found that the addition of her DAUGHTER into her life did not result in negative spotlight , but della became another for her “ fans ” to love . she was adored , with the “ tragedy ” of florencia’s family turning from tragedy to the story of her taking on the responsibility of her sister . even those who bought her time sometimes wanted to meet della , or brought her gifts to take to her .
AESTHETICS —
i . ONE BY ONE HUNG ON THE NECKLACE — secretly kept souvenirs ; a hairpin given from one woman , a vest once borrowed from another man , her favourite leather jacket borrowed from her lover now a staple in her every day wardrobe .
ii . SOMETHING BORDERLINE SACRED — baby fingers wrapped around strands of dark hair , a soft sling strapping small limbs to her chest , big blue eyes , soft white blankets , luxurious clothes to be outgrown in a month .
iii . I WOULD LEAVE WITH ME TONIGHT — freshly manicured nails , red stained lips , perfect cat eye without even trying , extravagantly braided hair , kiss-bitten lips , rough touches to soft skin and harshly pulled on silken strands .
