History: Fawn lives with her older brother Forest who is 19. She and Forest spend most of their time in the forest hunting and playing with the animals. Fawn has a special talent with animals. Its like they understand her, its like she understands them. They trust her, she trusts them. They help her, she helps them. When she first encountered a young Fawn caught in her neighbor's snare, she couldn't help herself, she set it free. When the fawn saw her it instantly calmed. The mother was nearby and she approached Fawn after she set the fawn free and licked her arm. Ever since the fawn comes to the sound of Fawn's voice when she sings. Fawn named the fawn Briar because the first time the fawn came to the sound of Fawn's voice it was carrying a briar plant in it's mouth. On the day of the reaping Fawn went into the forest with Forest and sang sweetly to Briar and Forest. Briar came through the trees and nuzzled Fawn. Fawn said her good-byes just in case she was reaped. It was the hardest thing Fawn had ever had to do. When Fawn was reaped, something broke inside her. Fawn saw her life slip away.

Flare loves her, but she has beaten him and done more things to him than one could count. Forest is Flare's best friend. They have known each other since they were young. Forest introduced Flare to snares, and his sister who was seven at the time. Years later, Flare found one of his snares upset. He saw blood on the rope and wire. He smelled it, it was deer. Flare has a feeling that it was Fawn, rescuing the animal that had been caught there. Forest told him about the fawn his sister had befriended.
