Kanadario Alun, District 4

Name: Kanadario (Can-ah-dare-yo) (Kenny) Alun (Ah-loon)

Age: 16 Gender: Male
District/Area: District 4

Appearance:

Kanadario is a tall, medium-build boy, who is 16 years old. He looks much older than he is, and many girls in their early twenties flirt with him. Kenny is tanned, the colour of cork even on his toned skin. His hair is a sandy mix of blonde and light brown, and shines in even the smallest amount of sunlight. It is longer than a buzz cut, but sits atop his head, playfully flipping with every movement. His eyes are a deep blue, with no traces of other colours present. They resemble two pools of sparkling water, or Kanadario, in the Aboriginal Hurons' language. He was named because of his eyes. His nose is not noticeable on his face, and is very under pronounced. His lips are copper, and are not huge, but certainly not thin. His chin is round, no cleft or indentations present.

His arms are protruding with very prominent muscles, and his hands are as rough as a tilapia's fins. His nails are uneven and pale, which contrasts greatly with his dark skin. His torso is also very sculpted, but he doesn't think so and is very uncomfortable when it is visible. His legs also have very visible muscles, and his feet are quite large.

Personality:

Kenny has a quiet personality, talking only when he needs to. He is friendly, and has a welcoming face. He doesn't get mad too easily, and usually tries to take conversation away from the topic of himself. He's shy, and can be socially awkward, but not unliked, at times. His voice is soft, as if he talks in a constant whisper.

Kenny, around his buddies, is dubbed "the mute one", because he rarely speaks, and would rather just laugh, or show emotions without words. The only person he speaks to out of his free will is his father, who he genuinely admires. He has never has a girlfriend, and doesn't appear to want one, but secretly he wishes someone would be there for him, other than his father.

He's gentle, and, as everyone in District 4 is, an amazing swimmer. He prefers to gather seaweed and the like, not fish, because he cannot stand the thought of killing something with a "heart and soul". His favourite colour is dark, cadet blue, and he enjoys cycling and lacrosse.

History:

Considering the standards in Panem, Kenny's lived a pretty soft life. He was one of two twins born to his mother and father (obviously), and during a divorce early in the twins' lives, Kenny's father took custody of him, and the mother his sister, who he has yet to meet. His mother moved to District 11, hoping to get as far away from the waters as possible, but Kenny's father, Destan, was determined to raise his son in a wealthier, safer District, and for him to begin training, in case the unthinkable ever happened- if he was Reaped as a Tribute.

His friends, which are few and far between, have always lost patience with him. They start welcoming, and warm, but as their expectations seem to drift away, they too drift away, and most likely, never come back. The fact that he talks so rarely is hard for people to grasp, and friendships are almost always built on words. His current group of "friends" accept him mostly because they need someone to rant to, who won't give advice or try to shut them up.

In school, he doesn't participate in class discussions, and does his work poorly and usually hands it in late or incomplete. When asked if he ever wants a decent job, he replies "Fishermen don't need to know how to write essays on the good government of Panem." Teachers don't know how to reply to this, and usually give up. His father doesn't mind, and tells his son to always do what he wants to do with life, not what others say is right, because...

"Like fishing for sea-urchins, life is a one-shot deal. You either come out with a catch, or you come out with nothing and a bloody hand. It's that simple."
