Layna Rye Age: 16 District: 3 Personality: She's a know it all, but she doesn't mean to, she just is. She's tough, adventurous, and brave, but doesn't mind crying if she wants to. She's very cautious of the people she meets, but if they're nice then she can be just as nice.

Skills: Very persuasive, knows how to play tricks on people's minds. Great with a sword and she is a very fast runner. She is very smart, but acts on her first instinct.

Appearance: Straight, brown hair that falls past her shoulders. She has brown-grey eyes. She is very small and thin, but people shouldn't underestimate her. Tan skin, but not too tan.

Strategies: Get away from everyone as fast as she can. She would like to ally with Torin, but just as friends. (They're actually boyfriend/girlfriend but they dont want ANYONE to find out, so theyre just gonna play along as friends) She would do anything for Torin, but wouldn't like to be in the situation where he dies to save her. She would kill, but not unless needed, and she would still feel guilty about it.

History: Layna grew up with three older brothers and both parents. Her father works as an electrician and her mother has had no luck in finding a job. They are a very poor family, but Layna makes the best of it, getting good grades, helping out her father in work, and trying to get her mother a job. Her brothers, Taro (16) Marko (17) and Shade (18) all live at home. From having three brothers, she grew up strong and learned how to be very persuasive about anything she wants, but she isn't greedy at all. During the Reaping, her best friend's sister who is only 12, was called. Layna knew that she couldn't let this happen, so she volunteered. She didn't cry, she just kept a straight face throughout the entire scene. When Torin was called, he didn't act any different then he shouldve. It was a game that they were going to play as friends, not lovers.

Token: A small charm bracelet with wooden charms. She has 5 total, one from each of her brothers, one from her parents, and one from Torin.

Torin Hallow Age: Just turned 17 District: 3 Personality: Very adventurous and brave. He's willing to do anything and isn't scared, but he's also very cautious around people he doesn't know. He would never second guess his instinct. He's really outgoing around his friends and Layna, but around everyone else, he doesn't say a word.

Skills: Strong, and great with a sword. He has the highest IQ in their grade. He can keep a clear head in really sticky situations and he won't lose himself in the arena.

Appearance: Tall, dark brown hair, brown eyes. Freckles line his cheeks. He has slightly tanned skin, but its still pretty pale.

Strategies: Find food and water, then find Layna and ally with her. They dont want to all immediately because then people would get suspicious. He would do anything to protect Layna, but he cant particularly show that in the arena, if they want their secret to stay hidden, but he would still give his life to save hers.

History: Torin grew up living with his grandparents and two younger, twins: Jake (10) and Lyla (10). With his grandparents barely able to leave the house, Torin works as an apprentice to Layna's father. The pay isn't very good, but it's enough to get food on their plates, and that's all they ask. Before work, he picks up the little kids from school and then meets Mr. Rye at Layna's house. If he can get there early enough, h can spend some time with Layna before work. Usually his Grandparents make dinner while he's at work and they just save the some for him. He gets off work after sundown, but after work he spends time with Layna before going home, because that's basically their only time that they have together. When Layna voulenteered for the Hunger Games, he knew he didn't want their love broadcasted all over Panem, so he and Layna decided to keep it under wraps and when he was Reaped, the instantly decided to play along as friends. Token: a skin tight band around his ankle that has his name written on it. Layna has one with her name one it, but she didn't want to show that there was a connection between them.. They’re basically best friends and do whatever they want. Their parents are very easy-going and her father is a lumberjack. Her mother works as a teacher at the school. Thorn found a bow in the woods one day and learned how to use it by himself. He taught Snow and now they keep it hidden safe in the woods. Sometimes they take it out and do target practice, but they never hunt.

Token: A leather bracelet that wraps twice around her left wrist. It has knots in it and it was a gift from Thorn.
