Datonec Jolleen-D4

Datonec is not very tall, only 5'8." He's more on the muscular side, but not too buff. He weighs around 165 pounds. His body is kind of blocky, but it works for him. Like I said, Datonec is strong. He can haul in multiple bags of fish with no problem. His hair is sun-bleached brown, from being outside every minute possible. He usually doesn't do much to it other than running a comb through it in the morning. He slouches sometimes when he sits.

Datonec's skin is extremely tanned. His skin is a very dark brown from head to toe. He barely ever wears shoes because he feels that they restrict his feet. There is a scar above his right eyebrow from getting cut with a fishook when he was 13. His eyes are sea green, and his pupils really stand out in the sea of green. Sometimes, in the right light, his eyes have a certain sparkle that makes girls go crazy for him.

His clothes aren't very impressive. He's usually wearing tank tops, or no shirt at all. He's not a big fan of bright colors, so they're mostly dark, like blacks and grays. His shorts are usually knee-length. They are dark as well. His mother makes most of clothes, but only because he says they are more comfortable than market clothes.

Some people think Datonec is standoff-ish or hostile. The only reason they think that is because he's shy. Ever since the accident two years ago, he doesn't make friends as easily. He doesn't have a very good vocabulary, mostly because he dropped out of school around 15 to go work for his friend Hayley's dad. Hayley is his only friend. She can relate to him in ways that many people can't. There's never been anything between them, mostly because of the age difference.

Datonec is also an eternal pessimist. Sometimes, that comes in handy, other times not. When he was in school doing group projects, he would never be much help because he didn't believe in any ideas. That eternal pessimism saves him from fatal mistakes though. He doesn't surrender to peer pressure, and never does anything crazy.

The accident effects Datonec in ways he doesn't even know. He can't make friends because everyone thinks he is a downer. He barely talks to anyone, other than his youngest sister, who is only 8. Datonec doesn't even talk about his sister anymore. His parents try and get him back, but nothing ever works.

The year of the 55th Hunger Games, his parents died of a fever. He was left to live alone because he was 16, but his little sister was sent to the District Home.

Datonec's parents met out in the waters, and even then, they had a strong connection. They always watched each other's backs. They helped each other out in times of need. Eventually the got married, the day after Datonec's mother turned 30. Two years later, Datonec's oldest sister, Pryter, was born.

A year and a half after Pryter was born, Datonec came along. Janva, his youngest sister, was born 9 years after him. Pryter and Datonec were always close. They were close in age, too, which contributed even more to their closeness. When she died, he was more devastated than you can even imagine.

Pryter died in the same fire that killed Hayley's brothers, two years ago. He was at home when the fire started, reading. Janva was looking out the window at the water. She walked over to Datonec and said that there was a bright orange light coming from across the water, and Datonec walked over to the window and saw the light. Then he realized it was the fish plant and ran out the door. He rowed across the lake as fast as he could, but, of course, was too late. He saw a girl slumped on the ground and went to console her. That's how he and Hayley became friends.

Datonec is pretty sad still. He doesn't interact with a lot of people anymore. Most days he can be found out on a boat in the middle of the ocean. He likes to fish by himself because it lets him think. Datonec will never be the same.
