Appearance~

Basic-
Jerome has looked pretty much the same all of his life. Long, purposefully messy hair falls right above his eyes. The brown blends perfectly on his Caucasian skin. His eyes are a faded blue under his thin brows. His small lips open to show a large white smile. Small dimples line the edge of his mouth. A long, hard jaw shapes his face. 'G' shaped ears mark the sides of his head. A smooth, plump nose centers it all.

Jerome has a swimmers build, like most of district four. IF you were to run your fingers down his chest you would be able to make out each bone. His collar bone is strong, and bulges beneath his neck. His muscles are strongest in his legs from the excessive amount of swimming he does. His hands are rough and rigid, similar to his feet. He is probably the only person in district 4 without a tan, because for some reason he doesn't tan or burn.

Flaws-
He has a cut on his right shoulder blade from a fishing pole hook. His feet are calloused and covered in dead skin. He has small mole on his back.

Birthmark-A dark spot on his leg shaped like a tree.

Height-5'7

Personality~

Likable Qualities-
Everyone knows Jerome as the sweet and kind one. He tries to treat everyone with the utmost respect. He is always fun to be around, and impossible to stay mad at for too long. He's not one to hold a grudge against people. He lives by the motto forgive and forget. Jerome is the popular boy at school, ~~because they don't know his secret.~~

Unlikable Qualities-
At times, Jerome can be very immature. He overdoes his jokes and gets extremely jumpy in public. He is always trying to make people laugh, even when the time is serious. He doesn't know when it's time for fun, and when it's not. He's very naive about things like, money, sex and drugs. He is more than likely to fall into peer pressure.

Likes-
The one thing that Jerome likes to do most of all is Swim. He would live in the water if he could. The water is the place he feels he can escape the capitol. Another thing he likes to do hang out with friends. He's a people person from heart. Whenever there is music playing, he is up and dancing. He loves to move.

Dislikes-
His most hated activity is fishing. He changed since he was a kid. It was his favorite thing ever, until the day on the boat. He also hates anything that was to do with being quiet. He is not a quiet person, he loves to hear his voice.

Fears-
If Jerome had to choice to save your life and get a spider bite, or let you die and avoid the spider, he would let you die. Spiders are his worst fear. He also cannot stand to be up high, he prefers to be on the ground.

History~

Family-
Jerome has always known that he was lucky. A lot of people in the districts were born into hateful homes, but his was loving. His mother, Lola, worked hard as a laundress and even though she believed in discipline, she always made sure that her kids knew she loved them. The father of the home, Kyle, fished for a living. If he couldn't trade the fish, he fed it to the family, as long as he kept them fed. He always made sure they ate first. Jerome's Older sister, Kylie(20), who had escaped the reaping, was a role-model to Jerome. August(8), his younger sister now looks up to Jerome.

Blessings-
Jerome has always been the popular kid. He's never been shy of a friend. He can tell you, he never will be friendless, ~~unless his secret gets out.~~ Jerome has never had to worry about a thing in his life. He doesn't worry about the games, because he doesn't have to worry about tessera. His parents don't let them know they can barely keep them fed three times a day. He doesn't realize that he lives in poverty.

Tragedies-
When Jerome was 7 he went to work with his father to help fish.
A co-worker of his fathers was casting as Jerome walked by and caught his shoulder blade, scarring him to this day. The biggest part of Jerome's life that he hated the most was that he was living a lie. When he was 15, he realized that he likes women, but he also likes men. He was popular and respected in the district, and knew that there was no way he could tell anyone. He longs to tell someone, but knows he'll never be able to.

Other-Jerome has nasty feet because he spends all day walking in flip-flops. The only time he isn't on his feet is when he's swimming, and the salt water doesn't help the callouses. As soon as he was trusted on his own, he took advantage of his freedom and barely spent any time at home.

Everybody, has a secret.
