Personality: '''Video is fiercely independent, sarcastic, direct, stubborn and confrontational. He has a carefree and adventurous personality and he is very tomboyish in the way he acts and dresses in contrast to the delicate doll him parents saw him as. However, unlike other people of his status, who avoided fighting whenever possible, Video loved battling and took great pride in him skills. He appeared eager to prove that he was as strong as anyone who could see and claimed that he was "the best fighter in the world" on numerous occasions. '''

Back-story: '''Video was the only child of the wealthy Hawthorn family of District 11. Born blind, he was sheltered by parents who believed him blindness made him fragile and incapable of looking after him. They went to extreme measures to protect him, including hiding him existence from the rest of the world, which resulted in very few people knowing that the Hawthorn family even had a daughter. Poppy and Lao Hawthorn expected their son to be well-mannered and proper due to their noble status in Panem, which Video secretly disagreed with, causing him to resent him parents' treatment. At the age of six, he ran away from home into a cave inhabited by badgers. The Badgers could see entire landmasses with just closing their eyes and according to Video, he and the creatures understood each other since they were both blind. He learned to see like they did by imitating their movements. Video learned to "see" through this feeling people and other objects through their vibrations, which he sensed through the ground via him bare feet. In the process, he also developed a great sense of hearing. Lao Hawthorn later hired a teacher to instruct him on how to fight, but he did not teach him anything other than beginner's moves, according to the orders of Video's father, unaware that he had already become very powerful. He became such a formidable fighter that he secretly entered underground fighting tournaments as the Blind Bandit, and was successful enough to become the champion of the tournaments more than once.
