She ran as fast as she could into the nearby forests. She wandered for hours and eventually became lost. Cold, scared, and tiered she lay down and the ground and cried. It was only after she stopped to listen did she realize she wasn't alone. She looked up into the eyes of a boy. He reached down and wiped away her tears. He scooped her into his arms and tried to bring her home, but she told him she couldn't go home with out food. He nodded and pulled a large rabbit from his rug sack. Then he took her home. Kedzie later learned his name was Todd and he was 14 at the time. Todd soon became her mentor and taught her how to shoot a bow and arrows and she learned that the night he had found her that he was looking for his little sister who had perished the day before and when he had seen her, he dropped his sisters body and took her home instead. She learned from his kindness and tender love. Todd perished in the Hunger Games when he was 18.

History: Grew up with a strict father and a mother who was a morphine addict. His older brother, Todd, was reaped and killed in the hunger games. His father made him strong and never let him quit. He loves his father, but he couldn't help but despise him for what he did to his twin sister. He trained him and his sister together, and his sister couldn't take it. She died during one of the sessions. Talon ignored his father's commands and took her to the forest to bury her. When he was finished and went back home to his father, he was beaten because of his refusal to listen. This beating just made his will stronger and he realized he always needed to do what he believed in. When his younger brother was born, he was 16 and he knew he needed to do something. He stole away from his house with his baby brother in his arms in the middle of the night. He went to Woods' house because he knew it was safe from what Todd had told him and knocked on the door. When the father answered, he gave his brother away knowing he would be safe. When he was reaped, his father cheered so loudly, like it was the best moment of his life. He knew then that he made the right decision when he gave his brother away, even though it cost him his right eye.
