history:

Well, I was born in the nicer part of district 12, since my dad is a merchant, and we're kind of rich. We always had enough food, and we even had a few luxuries like cookies and such. So for the first few years of my life, I was happy with being a merchant's kid; I didn't care if the other people in my district were starving. That changed when I turned 14 though. One of my friends in school just disappeared suddenly. He was one of the few who tolerated me, since I was a bit stuck up back then. Anyway, I just heard from someone that he died from starvation. I was shocked, of course. After all, with my excess food and all, I could've helped, right? So that really made me think of how I can help others...

Thankfully, my sister was also like that. She hunted in the woods, even though we never really needed anything. She gave her spoils away, and I, like so many others, admired her for that. One day, I asked her if she could teach me about hunting, since I wanted to be like her. So she agreed, and I've spent the better part of the last three years learning about the craft. She made me a wooden spear, which became my weapon of choice, and we hunter a lot. We also gathered herbs and plants. We fished and set snares. We also gave everything away. This was the time of my life where I felt that I was really living. Seeing those happy faces made me feel a warmth that I've never felt before, so I continued to provide for those who had nothing.

I also began to take tesserae, even though I didn't need it. I gave the grain and oil away, of course. I knew that I could be chosen for the horrible hunger games if I did that. Whatever. In fact, I almost hope that I'll get picked, since I'll have the chance to truly help my district when I get really rich from winning. I know that I'll probably die, but I'm willing to take that risk if it means that I'll have a chance at helping my district...
