Ronan Wellwood, 40, Shoemaker 

Ronan grew up the son of a shoemaker in the town of District 12. He was an only child so when his father died his shop got passed down to his son. Ronan had had a crush on Sara for a while and it was actually her who made the first move in their relationship as he had always been too shy to say something when they were younger.  

Sara Wellwood (neé Xian) , 38, 

Sara grew up in the poorer part of District 12 with four siblings, and like most people from the Seam she always had strong family values. She made sure that her daughter would be raised open-minded and tolerant towards people in the Seam.

What a Strange New Place || Task 03

What was your first thought when you arrived at the Capitol? 

”It’s very colourful here.”

Where is your favorite place in the Capitol? 

“The showers on our floor. There so many options! And the variety of smells is amazing!” 

What is your favorite thing about the Capitol?

”The music they have here is fascinating! We don’t have many different kinds of music available to us in our Distirict, so discovering new music is definitely my favorite thing.” 

Least favorite thing?

”Knowing that the games are starting soon.”

What is the biggest difference between the Capitol and your district?

”There are very little similarities, but there are a lot of differences to choose from. My answer would be the people. They are very different back home.” 

Would you live in the Capitol if you had the chance to?

“Only with the families of Dusty and I. I wouldn’t move here alone.”

Skills || Task 02

Self defense: Her boyfriend Dusty taught her everything she knew in that department. He wanted her to be able to protect herself when he wasn’t by her side. Walking from the town to the seam wasn’t the safest affair, after all.

Cooking: Her parents were at work a lot, so when Caia came home from school she had to cook for herself and later on prepare dinner for her parents as well. At first she saw it as a chore, but she enjoys it now and sees it as a good way to keep herself busy during the times she’s alone.

Medicine: Caia became interested in medicine after Dusty got hurt once and he refused to take money from her to go see someone professional. So she bought a big first aid kit, spending a whole afternoon reading the instructions an talking to her mother to figure out how to patch Dusty up. She still has a lot to learn, but she knows basic first aid methods. Caia doesn’t know much beyond that.

+ musical ability: Music is the skill Caia prides herself on. Nobody had to teach her how to sing, she was singing since she was a child. The things she needed to be taught like writing and playing an instrument she caught on quicker than most as she was constantly pouring her time into practicing until she was satisfied.

Reaping

The morning of the reaping left Caia waking up with knots in her stomach as it did every year. She always feared that this would be the year that she or someone she cared about would be taken. This year would be the last for Dusty and her. They almost made it. Of course she knew that the chance of being reaped was always there but she preferred not to think about that. Next year when they would no longer have the games to fear they would get married. They talked about it a few times already and there was no doubt in Caia’s mind that that was what she wanted. They were meant to be together forever, or at least that was what she thought. As soon as the reapings were over their adult lives together began. 

Caia pulled out the white dress she had worn to the last two reapings she attended and inspected it to see if there were any damages or stains on it. Luckily there were none so she pulled it over her head in a swift motion. It still fit just as well as it did two years ago when her parents bought it. She stopped growing taller ages ago, which was why her parents often told her how much money she was saving them by not having to constantly buy her new clothes because she grew out of the old ones. 

Just as she finished brushing her hair she heard the bell and ran down the stairs,opening the door quickly the smile on her face broadening as she stood up on her toes to give her boyfriend a kiss as a greeting. Her hand found his as she pulled him inside, not letting go even when they sat down on the breakfast table with her parents. They approved of their daughter’s relationship and often joked around that Dusty had been their son-in-law since Dusty an Caia were children. 

After a small breakfast the teenagers made their way to the Town square for the reaping. Meeting up with Dusty’s younger sister Mayella, his older brother Heath and his wife. It was Mayella’s first year and they were all trying to calm the girl down until they moved to their respective positions. Caia kept her eyes on Mayella who looked overwhelmed amidst her peers. Everyone but May. She found herself repeat in her head as they waited for the ceremony to begin. Caia was holding her breath when their escort pulled the first name out of the bowl. 

“Mayella Cutte!” His voice said loudly and Caia’s blood ran cold. Mayella was frozen with fear an before Caia could think about what she was doing she cried out that she volunteered. Did she really just do this? It didn’t matter, there was no way back. May was twelve, there was no way she would watch the young girl die. Not if there was something she could do against it.

Not more than a second passed when she heard Dusty cry out the same thing she had just moments before. No. No. No. Her face faltered immediately, her heart starting to beat furiously against her chest. No. Not Dusty. But it was Dusty. He would be going into the arena with her. There wasn’t a day since they were five that they didn’t at least see each other and due to what he did this wouldn’t change now. Caia never wanted to be without him, but not like this. God, not like this. This wasn’t fair. There was no way of them both coming out alive. They’d die. Or one of them would, but one thing was certain. There was no happily ever after for them. There wasn’t even a next year.
