Kelvin was nervous for many reasons. First of all, his tributes were beginning to wake up in the arena, seemingly with no idea who or where they were. Missy found her way to Cricket regardless, which was something that Kelvin was happy to see. It was astounding to him how people could find their way back to each other, even when the world seemed to want to keep them apart. Not paying attention to his surroundings, he bumped into the person next to him after leaning too far to one side, causing the velvet box in suit jacket pocket to roll around. That was the second reason he was nervous, the ring waiting inside. “Sorry about that, this is all kind of insane, right? I’ve never seen something like this before.”

melancholic;
melancholic people are emotionally sensitive, perfectionistic introverts.
the defining feature of a melancholic attitude is perfectionism. they are idealists who wish for things to be a certain way, and they get distressed when they are not. they hold themselves and others to unrealistically high standards, and get distressed when these standards are not met. this leads to them being self-deprecating - because they do not meet their own standards - and critical of others - because those others do not meet their standards.
neutral good;
a neutral good character will usually comply with laws if doing so benefits the greater good, but rebel against those they consider unjust or which conflict with the greater good.
passively good — they have fairly normal lives and ambitions, but will do good as the situation arises. they will help anyone they come across who needs it, then get back to their normal routine. they are most likely to be good towards family, friends, and those within their social circle , though they have no issue with helping strangers. they may even do volunteer work or other do-gooding that they find personally satisfying. at the same time, they do not view good as the concept that defines their lives — for them, goodness is an obligation, or even just their nature. they will do what good they like or what needs to be done, and then they will go home and carry on as normal.
dislikes: know-it-alls, being criticized, the past coming back to haunt, cruelty of any kind

basic desire: to have inner stability "peace of mind"
greengrass;
this very interesting, unusual, and early surname is of english topographical origins and would have denoted one who lived at a hamlet so named. The derivation is from the old english pre 7th century words 'grene' meaning 'green' and 'groes' grass, but this may not have been the literal meaning. the probable meaning is an area recently cultivated with 'new' grassland, or as it originates in county suffolk, may even refer to an area which was drained or in one way or another recovered from the sea or fen.

Kelvin finds himself often struggling to live up to expectations. All his life, he’s had difficulty meeting what people think of him. Meeting his parents’ expectations academically, his brothers’ socially, his boyfriends’ physically and romantically, the Capitol’s expectations for what a victor should be. There was always someone he felt he was disappointing, always something he felt was being neglected in order to take care of something else. This has resulted in a hatred of the weekends, as well as a hatred of everyone else’s expectations of what the weekends are supposed to be.
He like Tuesdays. They’re simple, understated, and they always surpass people’s expectations for them.
