Blight Sapcote, 42nd Games, Island Cloister
motif: Greater Mastiff Bat
Born into District 7 in the midst of an infectious disease outbreak, Blight was one of many children named in an old D7 tradition: naming your child after a sickness, especially a tree disease, was thought to make them less appealing to death. Losing both parents very early in his life, Blight was taken in by his grandparents, who had little energy to spare raising a constant reminder of the loss of their son and daughter-in-law.
He was Reaped at 18 years old. The arena was an old monastery on a bleak island, the Cornucopia in the belly of the building. Every sound inside the monastery is amplified, disorientating and distressing tributes, while the strangely quiet but strong winds outside sweep away every sound on the rest of the island.
Blight escaped the monastery early in the Games, forming an alliance with Hyacinth Labelle, a District 11 boy he meets in the forest. The two survive together, Blight initially discomforted by Hyacinth's forthcoming and emotionally open nature (particularly when the other boy ends up shedding tears over his (recently-ex-) boyfriend back home), but they quickly become close friends (and maybe Blight is reading into it but... maybe there's something more there too.)
Unfortunately, the pair end up scouting out the island's cliffs, and here the wind sweeps away the sound of another tribute's approach, as well as Hyacinth's cries for help. Blight turns just as Hyacinth is pushed from the cliffside. He kills the attacking tribute, and goes on to win the Games alone, shutting himself off from becoming emotionally attached to another person ever again. Post-Victory, he's known as a quiet, boring man (although he does end up growing a moustache #epic). He is Reaped and dies in the 75th Hunger Games. :(((( SAD !!!
