Donovan Crater District 5

Name: Donovan Crater
Age: 17
Gender: Male
District/Area: District 5
Appearance:

Remember, Donovan is big boned- not fat. Don't call him, or even mention the word fat around him. He's tall and... a bit wide but it is in his genes. It isn't because he gets more food, because that is certainly not the case, he was just born like that. However he has never seen a meal he didn't like.
On top of his large stature, the District five native has shaggy dark hair. Some call it brown, some call it black so he decided to call it dark to make everybody happy. His dark hair is kinked with the slightest touch of a wave that curves the ends around his face. He's been cursed with thick eyebrows, also dark in color, that shadow brown eyes. Plus his eyes aren't chocolate brown.. they're more like poop brown.
Being a young man he has the beginnings of a beard which he is, of course, extremely proud of. Working with large birds of prey Donovan does have many scars; mostly on his hands and arms. However he has a nick through one of his full and bushy eyebrows, his left to be exact (which seems to only emphasis the size of his eyebrows).

Personality:

Donovan usually keeps to himself. Usually only letting out to the birds he works with, talking to them and telling them about his day so far. One bit that seems to keep the others his age away from the Crater boy is the fact that he is a narcoleptic. Not only that he has narcolepsy with cataplexy. His cataplexy is trigged by fear. The effects aren't as bad as they could be. When he is feeling fearful his speech becomes slurred and he general feels weak. If he is horrified it gets more serious, his knees buckle and it becomes hard to keep his head up on top of his neck. Muscles lock up and imprison him in a feeling of hopelessness.
One reason Donovan Crater never gets to see the Tributes leave District 5. The Reaping terrifies him and sends him into one of his episodes, making him fall on his knees and just put his head in his hands trying to calm himself. He doesn't know what would happen if his name was called, but it would be traumatic.
One thing that calms Donovan in an episode are his birds. Thinking of them soaring through the air settles his nerves enough to stand, wobbly but standing. He isn't afraid of his birds like other people usually are. He's grown up with them, he loves them like children. Children who never have to risk the Reaping. However the Capitol demands birds for "Capitol reasons." Donovan doesn't have a clue to what the Capitol uses his birds for, but it isn't good.
On the other hand, Donovan usually gets irritated when someone scares him, even if it was on accident. He can't help himself, whenever someone sends his heart racing and adrenaline pumping he feels hatred and spite. Do they have nothing better to do than scare me of all people? It is even more annoying when it is his mother. Donovan leaves his door open for a reason- she doesn't have to knock, all she has to do is speak in a soothing tone- but what does she do? She yells his name. Is she dim? Evidentially. Sometimes, when Donovan is locked up by his own body he thinks why his mother does stupid things like that- and most of the time it is because she is truing to pretend that this... condition doesn't exist, at least not in her son.
Crater doesn't have many friends. He's never been a talker and the thought of trying to makes friends makes his speech slur a bit and of course scares off potential allies.
One thing about Donovan, he is decisive. Can choose a path or an answer without skipping a bit or thinking of the consequences that choice will bring later. He goes with his gut, with his instincts. So far, they've worked pretty well.

History:

Donovan works with the large birds. That's why he has so many scars- got to close to an angry hawk or falcon. He lives with his mother and father- and by "lives with" I mean sleeps and might eat in the same house. Don't get me wrong, Donovan loves his parents- he just doesn't want to listen to them about what a "normal" teenage boy should be doing.
