Pets: None Overall History: At least 300 words, please. Before birth. After being together for five years and getting married, Lillin and Tazon decided they wanted to have children (despite their fear of the games). After five months of trying and failing, they went to a doctor and discovered that it was highly unlikely that Lillin could get pregnant. Heartbroken, they gave up on their dream of having a family. No less than six months later, Lillin was pregnant. Against all the odds, she'd conceived. They did all they could to make sure it was a smooth pregnancy, but the baby was born premature. Cyri Marsala died 3 days old. The family was completely shattered with Cyri's death that they were torn apart with grief. Instead of sadness bringing them together, it pushed them apart until they almost gave up on their marriage entirely. Miscarriage followed miscarriage, until eventually they fell pregnant again. It seemed as if they could only have a child if they weren't desperately trying. Birth & naming. Just like their other baby, Jareth was born premature, however he got stronger with time. He was named after his grandfather, and Jareth also means gentle and uncertain. Lillin also had a few miscarriages after Jareth's birth. Family Status. The Marsala's are an upper middle class family. The family income is mostly provided by Tazon, being a peacekeeper. That money is enough to get them by, and Jareth has never needed to apply for tesserae. Extra money is rare but his needs were always provided for, especially his learning. The Marsala's reputation, however, is on the rocks. They sided with a group of fugitives, who were also their close family, and have since been ostracized from the community. Childhood Events. When he was ten years old, Jareth was abducted from his home. The man was hooded and dressed in black, so Jareth doesn't know what he looked like. He was locked up in a dark place somewhere for twenty four hours until all the peacekeepers found him. The kidnapper is still at large. Specific Relationships. Jareth has a tight bond with his parents, but they can be very overbearing. They are incredibly over protective of him and won't let him leave the house without a way of contacting them if there was an emergency. Their protectiveness was spawned by their daughter's death and they couldn't bare to lose another child. As expected, each year's reaping drives them insane with worry. Their greatest fear is that he'll be reaped for the games but they are comforted by the fact that he's never taken tesserae in his life. Friendships. Jareth doesn't have many friends, only the few who have stayed with him despite the family's tarnished reputation. Romance. Jareth has never had a girlfriend, but he does have more than friendly feelings for a girl. He doesn't want to pursue anything because he doesn't want to lose any more friends. Enemies. Enemies are plentiful for the Marsala's in District 3, and the mayor particularly looks at them for everything that goes wrong. Children pick on Jareth and he feels crap about himself most days. He hates the people who are nasty to him and his family. Opinion of the Games. Jareth is warily neutral. The games are all he knows, and apart from reading about it, he doesn't know life without watching children kill each other on television. His parents are terrified of everything to do with it, but Jareth faces the reaping with the same steady expression each year. Secrets. Deep down, he wants to win the games someday. Not for wealth or celebrity status, but to help his family's reputation. If he were to get reaped, he wouldn't take it as a death sentence; it would be an opportunity to clear the family name. If he won, his family would be respected again. Jareth has promised himself that, if in his last year of eligibility he didn't get reaped, he would volunteer. Even that would bring honor and hopefully make people respect the Marsala's again. Please include an rp sample here. jess. 18. fawn & bay.
