Name: Jessica Hawk
Nickname: Jess, Jay (given to me by Gale) Jessie and Hawk (given to me by Katniss)
No, no, no, no, no NOOOOOO! She cannot be friends with Gale and Katniss, they cannot be so close that they give each other nicknames! NOOOOO!!!!!
Age: 15
District: 12
Gender: Female
Personality: I am understanding when people want me to be...
I hate this personality so much, its so overused and cliched. And what the heck does "I am understanding when people want me to be" mean? What do they do, tell you when they want you to be understanding? I am assuming you mean "I am understanding when I want to be" but it still does not change the fact that this personality is overused and cliched.
I am brave and can go up against anything you put me against...
Once again, really cliched and overused personality trait. Not to mention it makes the oc sound like some super-awesome-and- really-strong Jesus entity that has absolutely no flaws and therefore this increases your oc's overall Sueness level.
I am not quick to trust people (I only trust people when I have known them for a while)
I had my suspicions but this just confirms it, this person is literally just recreating (and at the same time totally butchering) Katniss. She is literally trying, and failing to make a cooler and edgier Katniss with her I-have-no-flaws oc!
I am funny when I want to be but am mostly mature about things that are important.
ARE WE NOT AL MATURE ABOUT IMPORTANT THINGS! EVEN IF WE ARE FUNNY SOMETIMES, I AM PRETTY SURE MOST HUMAN BEINGS ON THIS PLANET ARE MATURE WHEN IT COMES TO IMPORTANT THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THEIR LIFETIME!
I am loyal to my friends, I am very protective and because of what happened to my family I don't like opening up about things.
Mary Sue with tragic backstory is tragic and we should all pity her cliche.
Looks: I have long brown hair that falls to the small of my back, my hair is usually down or in a pony tail, or braided over my left shoulder. I have almond shaped eyes that are bright emerald green.
So I am assuming this oc is from the Seam because of her dark hair and the fact that Gale and Katniss would never be friends with anyone living outside the Seam, or at least Gale wouldn't, so why does she have green eyes. No one in the Seam has green eyes, they all have GREY EYES. I guess your oc is just to much of a speshul snowflake to look like everyone else.
I have fair skin even though I spend all my time in the woods...
That makes no sense, if she spends all of her time outside she is going to tan. End of story.
I have an athletic build and am strong even though I don't look it. I have legs meant for swimming and running...
Of course, the good old, overly used, cliche that everyone has used on one of their oc's at least once in their lives. The "I am strong but don't look strong" cliche. Why can't people just make their oc's look like real people. Real people who are strong usually look strong. I am not saying I have not had an oc that was strong but did not look strong before, because I have had one of those oc's. Several, actually, but I scrapped them after a while because I realized that no on actually looks like that. Plus whats so unattractive about strong, muscly women? This makes me so angry. Not to mention you just said your oc had an athletic build, usually people with athletic builds look pretty strong.
And an hourglass shaped body.
Okay, this is a person with an hourglass shaped body...
This is a person with an athletic build...
While both figures are beautiful in there own ways, they are very different. Also an hourglass shaped figure is not usually associated with athleticism. The point is, your oc CANNOT HAVE TWO VERY DIFFERENT BODY TYPES NO MATTER HOW SPESHUL THEY ARE! IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, GOT IT!
Family/friends: I have no biological family, my family died when I was ten...
My family is now the Everdeen family.
THATS IT. You cannot just make your super speshul oc go and live with the Everdeens. THAT TOTALLY SCREWS WITH CANON. AND WHY THE HECK DID SHE GO TO THE
EVERDEENS IN THE FIRST PLACE, WERE THEY A FAMILY FRIEND OR SOMETHING! YOU CANT JUST FORCE YOUR OC INTO A FAMILY AS IMPORTANT AS THE EVERDEENS! A BIG AND IMPORTANT PART OF THE STORY IS THAT IT IS JUST PRIM, KATNISS, AND HER MOTHER SO THAT WHEN KATNISS LEAVES SHE HAS TO WORRY ABOUT PRIM NOT HAVING ANYONE TO TAKE CARE OF HER!!!!!!!!!!
My best friends are Gale and Katniss, and I am good friends with Peeta.
No.
Love Interest: Gale Hawthorn
No... just no.
Background: I was born into a miner’s family, and I grew up a regular girl. I was the only child of my family. I meet Katniss one day in the forest with her father and they promised to teach me the ways of hunting.
My father died in the mine explosion and my mother didn’t last much longer without him.
Overly used "she/he loved him/her so much that they died when he/she died" cliche. Also, why is it always the female characters that die after their husbands die? Ir makes women seem like they have no life outside of their husband/boyfriend/lover.
The Everdeen family took me in and raised me as their own...
Why would they take her in, they barely have enough money to feed their own family and themselves so why would they take in some random kid they have absolutely no connection to other than that one time they saw her on the side of the street and felt bad for her.
Katniss and I go hunting everyday with Gale in the woods. I am now as skilled as Katniss at hunting and walking through the woods without a sound. When Katniss volunteered herself for the Hunger Games i promised I would take care of her family.
That totally gets rid of all of the tension we felt in the first book when Katniss volunteered and was worrying about who would take care of Prim if she died. Sure we knew she was going to live because she is the narrator and there had to be more books, but still.
Skills: I am a skilled hunter, I can trap as well as Gale...
No one traps as well as Gale. Period. One of the main points in the book is that Gale is the best trapper in the seam. NO ONE IS BETTER THAN HIM!
I can walk through the forest without a sound and I can throw a knife pretty well, I am also skilled in hand to hand combat, thanks to my father.
What does this oc's dad know about hand to hand combat? Why did she not volunteer for tribute instead of Katniss when Prim was reaped, seeing as she is so speshul and talented she could probably destroy everyone with her pinky finger on the first day of the games and save Katniss a lot of trouble.
Also...
Weaknesses: I am very protective of my family and friends so someone could use them against me if they wanted to.
That is the dumbest weakness ever. It really isn't even a weakness.
I can sometimes be quick to jump to conclusions and make mistakes...
You said it Hannah Montana.
And I have a quick temper...
ALL MARY SUE'S HAVE BAD TEMPERS, WHY!!!
Weapons: I use the bow and I can use the knife to incapacitate my enemies. I am also skilled at hand to hand combat.
Fighting Style: I am quite fierce and never back down from a fight, I fight defensively and sometimes I am offensive.
I don't know what to say. It was just so bad. Well good thing it's over. HAPPY DANCE!
