Appearance: (Lunaii.)

Personality: One thing that Rye is not, and that is a coward. He is brave and loyal. Survival is his game, and after a lifetime out in the orchard, that is his speciality. Strategy and success are two things that he makes sure goes hand in hand, every year he watches the Hunger Games and studies them, to make sure that he will be a victor when his turn comes around.

Despite his calculating strategies, Rye is a very calm caring person. Rye can be very caring towards tributes because they remind him of his sister. He is very down to earth, and sometimes underestimates his own abilities.

Backstory: From a very young age, Rye's mother drilled it into him that he had to prepare for the Games. His mother's best friend was reaped, and killed in the games, and she vowed to herself, that she would never leave her children vulnerable if their turn in the arena ever came.

To bring in some extra money, he worked in the orchard, carrying baskets of food back to the shipping building. It didn't pay very well, but it helped. His sister Leaf was bullied all the way through school, he would always stick up for her. Rye became the closest thing to a best friend that she had.

The night before the reaping, Rye and Leaf climbed up onto the roof. There, Rye turned to Leaf, and said, "If the worst happens tomorrow, I'll do everything I can to come back."

"You promise?" Leaf asked, resisting the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes.

"I promise. But, even if I don't, I'll be right there," he said, gesturing at the stars, "watching over you."

"But, why can't you come back to me?" Leaf asked, as the tears fell from her eyes.

"Because, that is the cruel part of the game," Rye replied. He hugged her to comfort her. "But, I will keep my promise and do everything I can, to win."

Reaction when reaped: Rye will worry about his sister, but accept that there is nothing he could do about it. As much as he wishes that he wasn't reaped, he'll realise that if it wasn't him, some other poor kid would be in his place.

What did they do in their private session: Rye will go straight to the traps station, and dazzle with the ability that he will have built up over the regular training days. He will them move onto the plant identifying station, and show them just how well he can identify poisoned plants, leaves and berries. His strategy may score him low, but he has to stay true to himself, and show that he isn't going to pretend to someone he's not, just to get higher points.

Interview angle: Rye will talk about his family, but be very vague on how he plans to survive.

Strategy for bloodbath/games:

Bloodbath Strategy: Go straight into the cornucopia, and get what he needs, and fight off anyone that tries to stop him.

Games Strategy: He will find a place to settle, that has good food and water, and stay there, like Thresh in the 74th HG.

Token: A small pendent on a string necklace made by his sister.
