Lev "Lever" Dule, District 3

Lev is 5'10"ft, and weighs 137 lbs. He is tall and pale, and appears lanky, but is surprisingly strong. His hair is dark brown, but his most striking feature is his bright, striking blue eyes. Even more striking about Lev`s eyes is that he has heterochromia iridum, with his right eye darker than his left, making it seem like one of his eyes is like an ocean in the day, and another at night. Lev is proud of his eyes, a striking feature on an otherwise plain face.

A hint to Lev`s intelligence is his high brow, and his face in general is fairly thing, with high cheekbones. A noticable feature of Lev`s face, too, is the slight scar across his right eyebrow, a result of Lev`s recent vigourous and unsupervised "training" for the Hunger Games. Luckily for Lev, his bangs are long enough that his mother has not yet seen the scar.

Lev is rather bold and vocal, and tries to be humorous most of the time, but will become serious when required. Behind all this however, is a young teenager who loves is mother, and only wants to be accepted and safe. Lev is also loyal to a fault, and when he believes in something, he will stay true to it unless given significant reason.

Like most teens, Lev is the subject of occassional bursts of pique, but for the most part is calm. Having an IQ of 156, Lev rightfully believes he is smarter than alot of people, and might come off as slight arrogant. However, since the recent news of his mother`s deadly disease, Lev has been humbled down, and views himself as a waste of space and another mouth to feed. Due to this, Lev sees himself in a negative light.

And finally, a fact that he tries to hide from everyone is his fear of being alone. A few years since being abandoned by his father, Lev has developed a fear of being abandoned, and will do anything to prevent this from happening again. So much is Lev`s fear of this, he will sacrifice himself, physically,mentally, or emotionally to stop this happening.

Born as the son initially of what is the closest Panem can get to a "middle-class" family, Lev and his mother were abandoned by Lev`s father when Lev was only two. Forced to care for herself and her baby, Lev`s mother has had to work several jobs in factories to get food on the table. When Lev started to go to school, he was rather reclusive, distancing himself from others to prevent himself from getting attached to someone and then being abandoned like what happened with his father, burying his head in books and his studies, but eventually, he got over that and became somewhat social after being extended the hand of friendship from his rather eccentric neighbor, Mr.Voltz.

Yet all this changed a little while after Lev turned 13. Discovering that his mother was diagnosed with a deadly disease caused by District 3`s pollution, Lev viewed himself as a burden, as he was just another mouth to feed in his mind. Ever since, Lev has recently been planning to volunteer for the Hunger Games, so that in the off-chance he wins, he can help his mother, or if he dies, he will benefit his mother by allowing her to have more food.

Knowing his mother would be devastated by him being killed in the Hunger Games, he has tried to train himself in hand-to-hand combat to give himself a small chance, with a little success. In fact, Lev has pushed himself so hard, he has scared himself slightly. Now, with the 60th Hunger Games approaching, Lev is preparing to volunteer, and has secretly arranged with his now close friend, Mr.Vultz, to take care of his mother if he dies. Lev, in his current state of mind, has no issues dying now.......
