Enna Lydonsbee

Mrs Lydonsbee- NPC- Alive

## Early Life

Enna grew up in an extremely poor orphanage in district 9. She was abandoned there as an infant and has no way of knowing who her birth parents were. Her early life was mostly marked by wanting to escape the overcrowded building with it's overcrowded rooms.

A rich capitolite who owned a construction company's wife paid for a shipped materials to district 9 one summer, and sent instructions to them to build an orphanage. it worked already overworked farmers harder, but a year later, there was an orphanage that was well staffed, with actual funding trickling in from the capitol to feed the children. When Enna was 10, she moved in. Her schooling improved, and she was able to find a chore she liked within the flow of the place. she became a mender, making clothes last and sewing new ones. particularly, she collected old buttons, as children had a habit of losing those.

Although she wasn't supposed to waste resources, Enna could always steal time and paper to draw, a thing that brought her much joy.

## The Adoption

When Enna was 17, Miss Lydonsbee, the benefactor of the operation, had one of her sporadic visits. during it, she caught Enna drawing. after a brief, vague, and confusing convo, Enna went back upstairs. a few days later, She found herself adopted, on a train *with* Miss Lydonsbee back to the capitol. Turns out, she was an empty nester who wanted another child to show off, and it seemed Enna had the talent to catch her attention. or maybe she was just in the right place at the right time.

She had a year of training to ensure her core skills were up to capitol standards, with private tutors teaching her math and science and history and keeping your hands off the table, what are you, a heathen??? She was denied from the top capitol art school, but accepted to South Bridge School of the Arts (likely based on adoptive last name alone), where she's been attending for several years.

She needed an internship, and expected to be denied from the most desired one of the year. When she was accepted to the hunger games stylist's internship program, she had to say yes, even if it means watching district born kids like her (because she is still in nine's reaping) die up close and personal.

## On The Dash

* in 133, she met Cress Meadowforge, and started personally doing some of her outfits for balls on request.
* she decided to stay at the tower for 134 because she'd made other friends who walked the district/capitol line like she did, and she wanted to keep in touch with friends she related to.
* in 134, she and Slate Skylar, a friend from when they were interns together, discussed the rebellion. She asked to join. He sent Alder Reid to finish the recruitment process because he'd be in the arena. Alder had a conversation with her cementing her place in the rebellion, and she agreed to all the risks involved.
* after 134, Cress hired Enna as her personal stylist for public and personal wardrobe, partly in preparation for her pregnancy which would soon begin to show.
* Cat Miller approached Enna to discuss some light to medium level vandalism. She agreed, and began planning a mural, to be painted in parts all over the capitol over the course of several months, and all done at night. She signs them VP, intended to mean vox papouli. Instead, the capitolites on panem's internet coined a new nickname for her: Vox Parva, meaning little voice. It's meant to diminish her work (only one little voice in the capitol is a rebel, no need to worry), but she sees it as appealing to every capitolite's little voice in their head, trying to get them to see sense.
* Enna developed a formula for an ink that appears only when a specific chemical reaction is poured onto it. With her job as a full time stylist and her vox parva graffiti, she doesn't have time to sew messages in herself. instead, she develops the special yarn and gifts it to Alder to sew rebel messages with. They create a code together, partly in case their clever thread is discovered and partly because some letters are harder to sew for a novice than others. This way the rebels can communicate across district lines with innocuous pieces of fabric.
* Enna adopts a cat called thimble. He's cute.
