history:
"i was born, raised and abandoned in district four in the course of twelve years. once my family–my parents and older brother–was lost at sea i had nowhere to go but to my friend's home. she allowed me to stay, and took me out on her boat to improve on my ability to fish that was already present from my parents. each year i'd enter myself a whole bunch of times just for the opportunity to get out of everyone's hair and do something useful for a change. but i'd never volunteer.

"until that fateful day when i was seventeen. my friend's name was chosen on reaping day and guess what i did? i leapt onto the stage and practically shrieked 'NO! I VOLUNTEER!' a-ha…don't see that very often, do ya? well, it sure gave my friends a shock. but just like that, i was in the 27th Hunger Games. the capitol was nice, my stylist was fantastic, but i didn't talk with any of the other tributes, only began to plan their deaths. my performance for the judges earned me a ten and the top of the leaderboard. but once i entered the arena, everything was a blur except for those last few moments before a kill. you wanna know who i killed first? my fellow district four tribute. no regrets. not until i watched my clip package during the closing ceremonies, when i started to bawl like a baby because of the guilt.

"after the games i didn't even bother talking to anyone i didn't have to. i pulled myself inward. some people say that was a stupid thing to do. well, my hobby was photography, so this meant i could take pictures of the world outside. and hey, it was humbling. but then i had to start mentoring…and none of my tributes would win. i'm not overbearing, am i? all i want is a damn winner!"
