Appearance

Jared isn't like most kids his age that are in District 5. He is shorter than most kids his age. He has brown eyes that are dark and mask the pain and frustration he holds. His hair is brown and styled to the side out of his forehead. He is very slender, not too bad, but he is slender. He is very fast and can get out of most situations with his speedy running. He is not very strong at all. Most people can overpower him. He has pale skin from not getting enough sunlight from all the pollution in the sky. His ears are quite small. His hands are rough for no apparent reason. He has big feet compared to most people.

Jared isn't the fashion master, you would say, of District 5. He only gets what his father can afford, so most of the time he is wearing tattered and used clothes. His usual outfit is just a T-shirt and jeans, but when the cold gets going Jared throws on a gray hoodie. He has a nice outfit just for the reaping which is just a simple Gray button up shirt and a pair of black jeans. His father can't really afford anything nice, but Jared does have his mother's necklace. It has a swan on it and she used to tell him that the swan means that one day life gets better. Jared also has another necklace that was originally for sister and it had a Woodpecker on it. His mother said the woodpecker meant that life keeps on 'pecking' forward. Then he has his own necklace of an eagle on it. His mother told him the eagle stood for the courage that you find on the inside.

Personality

Jared has a personality like every other living thing. He is awkward around people, he hates being awkward, but he just is. He is a hard worker and won't quit on anything he works on and he will spend his time on the task making it perfect. He gets very frustrated when he doesn't get his way with things. He is a perfectionist and wants everything to be perfect no matter what the consequences are. He is very pessimistic and always thinks on what could go wrong. He is very courageous and does stuff that not all 16 year olds from District 5 would do.

Many of his traits cause his flaws, but some more than others. Since he is awkward, he doesn't talk to people often from him saying things that he doesn't mean to say. He is a hard worker, but since he is, he never has time for most things. Since he gets very frustrated often, he has a attitude toward some people when he is frustrated. Since he is a perfectionist, he is always trying to make everything perfect, but he knows he is not perfect at all. Since he is pessimistic, he always thinks of the bad. Since he is courageous, he always ends up hurt emotionally or physically.

Jared has a few dreams, not a lot, but a few. Jared's first dream is to have his sister back. He wishes that his mother was still alive. He wishes that his father doesn't push him as much as his father does. He dreams of being a scientist, but so far his dream is a long ways away. He dreams of being perfect, but that is impossible. He wants his older brother to not be so overprotective. He wants the Hunger games to end, he fells they are rude and dumb and cause only pain to the families.

History

Jared had a hard life especially starting at a young age. He was born in a small house that two kids had already been living in. His brother and sister adored him. He called his sister Sissy at the age of 3. It was his first word. One day in December when he was 4 his older sister got sick. Jared had no clue what to do. SO he just helped his Sissy as much as a 4 year old could. Then a few weeks later his sissy was not better. Her last words before she died was "I love you, don't forget." and she handed him the necklace she wore forever. Jared cried and ran to Mommy. She declared that Sissy was dead. Jared cried for a week straight. Jared eventually stay strong. He pushed the sadness away.

A few years later, when Jared was 12, he finally was able to be reaped. His father helped him get ready and everything. He went to the reaping because his mother had to work. His mother had given him her necklace just in case. The reaping ended and he came home. His mother wasn't home which was unusual. He shrugged, but then there was a knock at their door. His father had answered it and waked back inside with tears. Jared had asked him what was wrong. His dad just got furious and punched him multiple times. Jared screamed and ran upstairs. He went to his Older brother who comforted him. Jared never forgot that day. He kept his mother's necklace.

Now Jared is 14, his father still is abusive, but not as bad as that day. His father forces him to work, so they get some extra money. His father pushes him to be perfect, but Jared knows he is never perfect. His brother acts more like his father than his own father and gives Jared advice. Jared works at a shop that sell, well he doesn't pay attention to what they sell there, but he is rarely there anyways. His brother and him have a strong brotherly bond. His father and him always get frustrated with eachother.
