there was already a large crowd gathered around the town square, faint chattering drifting throuh the lazy, thick air. the announcer, a sturdy, thin-scaled IceWing stands on a large podium on a stage, standing between two floating crystal balls. sighing, he shuffles up in front of the stage.
more and more dragons begin to quietly join the crowd of anxious dragons. the announcer crows out a greeting, reads the customary rules, and explains what was going to happen, and what he was about to do. everyone knew what he was about to do. condemn the life of a young dragonet, changing it forever.
finally. he steps up to the left crystal ball, drawing a talon inside and picking out a furled piece of yellowed parchment. he calls out a name. silence, and then a wail rings out through the crowd. it's not me, it's not me, it's not me. he let out a huge breath, one that he didn't even know he was holding. he was safe, for another year, at least.
a silver dragonet stumbled up onto the stage, bright green eyes focused on something far away in the distance. the announer grins and slaps the dragonet's back heartily, calling everyone to "please welcome our first tribute!" then he shifts over to the other ball, reaches in, and brings out another crumpled piece of paper, smiling hugely all the while.
"now, can - Miss Snowhare please step up here, to the podium?"

appearance
at first, there's no reaction. then, as the name sinks into the minds of the gathered, murmers of displeasure moves through the crowd. shifting a bit uncomfortably on his talons, he can just see Snowhare's stunned, scared face.
she goes - well, used to go - to the same school as him, though he never quite got to know her on a personal level. he knew that her parents were wealthy, first-circle dragons, and that Snowhare was their perfect daughter that could do no wrong.
he always imagined her as a snobbish, spoiled dragonet, but now, looking at her terrified expression, the way she clung to her parents, how she cried and hugged what must've been her little brother, he started to think that maybe he was wrong.
finally, Snowhare wiped her greenish silver eyes with a talon, hugged her brother one last time, and stepped up to the stage without a sound, taking her place on the other side of the announcer.
*plain white scales, some light gray lining her back and dappled down her tail.
*her snout is gray, lacks prominent horns but has the signature icewing spines.
*huge, batlike ears. inner is a pinkish red but the outer is dark gray.
*overrall she's pretty lean and tall, fit to say the least? big talons and has a rather long tail and snout.
*very angled frame; sharp features.
*gray wing membranes with a rippling pattern on it? some white speckles on the tips.

personality
the announcer grins again, his full-toothed mouth too big for his face. "and these are our IceWing tributes for the 25th annual Hunger Games. welcome, Cryogen and Snow-"
"Hare," Snowhare cuts him off bluntly, gray-green eyes hard and unrevealing, staring at the announcer like a mother scolding a dragonet. "nobody calls me Snowhare. it's just Hare."
"very well, then," the announcer says briskly, if not sounding a bit annoyed to be interrupted during his important speech. "Cryogen and.. Hare. may the odds be ever in your favour!"
and then they're rushed away into the Justice building beside the road. they would see their parents and friends once again, before being whisked away to the train.
*very, very shy; grew up in a very wealthy family who were personal friends with the queen. hence she wasn't really exposed to any real-life situations until later in her life.
:* bascically relied on servants and butlers to do stuff for her. however! she is a very talented cook, yet never had to bake to survive.
*generally quite mild and very well-behaved.
*breaks down extremely easily. loud noise? starts shaking and wringing her talons like mad.
*has a tendancy to bite her lip when nervous. which is.. always.
*has to have some sort of white noise around her, if it's too quiet she'll start clicking her tongue and tapping her talons on things, etc.
*not afraid to cry, sees it as a intense feeling rather than weakness.
*very blunt and straightforward when she speaks.

Hare didn't know her grandfather, and only heard tales about his demise during the 14th Hunger Games. her token, a feather on a string, was hand-crafted by her grandfather when he was young and was his token when he died.

====skua • former friend====
Hare was under the illusion that Skua was her best friend, she was kind, understanding, and never seemed controlling over anyone. but she didn't come to even say goodbye to Hare when she left for the train, and Hare isn't quite sure what to think of her anymore.
====tern • friend====

trivia
from a private Q&A session with the Gamemakers.
* She has mild claustrophobia.
* She was scratched by a cat as a young dragonet, and now has a chronic fear of them (even though she's not willing to admit it).
* 'Snowhare' is a shortened nickname for the snowshoe hare, and isn't actually a true proper and correct term.
