Re: Tejas Richter [D2]

My dark, shaggy brown hair falls around my ears. My blue eyes glisten and make the girls go wild. We live in a wealthier district, so my clothes are you know....nice. I'm an average size. I'm 5'1 and about 115 pounds. I have normal arms and legs, there are two of each by the way. I have long, slender fingers and long toes. My shoes are big for my age, and everyone thinks they are my brother's. I have an orange, white, and brown sweatband around my wrist, and it hardly ever comes off.

I wash my hair only when my mom makes me. I'm getting prepared for the games. I've always wanted to dye the tips of my hair blonde. It would make me look even more bad boy than I already do now. My favorite shoes have no cover for the toes. I wore them so much, they just busted. Everyone makes fun of them, but they have character. Don't you wish you were awesome like me?

I am me. Take it or leave it. I'm not going to change for anyone who wants to kick me down. Apparently I am headstrong and hardheaded. I don't think so, I just know my ideas and plan to carry them out. People regard me as a stereotyped leader, call me what you want, I'm totally awesome. I will fight for what I believe in, and I don't come to mutual positions. It's my way or no way. I guess when it comes to my flaws, it's not giving in at the right time. Sometimes I guess I push it too far.

Do I have softs spots? Of course not. Leaders can't have soft spots. You could say I have weaknesses but can we not talk about those? If you push me, I'll come over and punch you. But, if you stay on my good side, we'll be good buddies. I enjoy talking about flaws, just not my own. Pointing out flaws is my specialty. Just don't try it out on me.

I guess one time I'm happy is with my dog. His name is Isosceles. He makes my heart feel warm and fuzzy. My one fear is losing my brother in the games. I would have a mental breakdown. I would volunteer in his place, but he wouldn't let me. I would cry and punch something or someone. Panem, please don't let it happen.

I was born here in District two. Grew up like a little boy, rambunctious and wild. I enjoyed the outdoors, and the sunshine on my back. I love to climb trees, especially really big ones. My brother taught me how. My dad wasn't and still isn't home a lot. He comes home late and goes almost directly to bed, after he eats and showers. He loves me...I guess.

My mom and I are pretty close. Shes's home all the time, and does everything for me. She makes the best homemade meals. She never would leave my side. I know that she would do anything for me. But it wasn't always that way. We used to be far apart like the Capitol and District twelve. But one day changed our whole lives.

It was a snowy, winter day and the skies screamed depression. My mom and I were walking down the side of the road. And we saw a little boy sitting there. We began to talk to him and he told us how he lost his mom. My mom and I looked at each other, and our hearts connected. From that day forward, we have been closer than ever. We love each other for who we are, and nothing will change that. So there you have it, that's the story of Tejas Richter, the boy from district two.
