Connelly is a shy, but scared boy. He is very quiet and if you were put in the Arena with him he has a weapon that's hard to earn. The ability to be able to walk and run in the forest without making a sound at all. He only knows how to survive in this world. If you were to put him in the life of a normal person in the Steam or Capital he would just stare at it in confusion.

Connelly has had a very hard life and should be a Avox for what he has done. But that comes later. Let me start from the beginning. Connelly was born in District 11.He lived with his little sister and his Father. Connelly hated plants, planting,and everything else of the sort. At only age 7 he began a plan. A plan to leave District 11 and go to 12. He always had a interest in coal. He want to know where it came from, how it burned, and why it was black. He was planning to run away. At age 10 his plan was complete. It was hard for he had the plants in the field to attend to but somehow he did it. And over time he was ready.

One night he had gotten up and packed his things in that quiet manner of his. Then something went wrong. His sister,Caterina, woke up. She wasn't going to let him go. She insisted that he take her with him. She didn't want to lose her big brother. Connelly didn't want to take her at all. But day break was near and if he was found awake with her she'd tell their father and it would all be over for him. Connelly then made the worst decision of his life there. He agreed. She ran and packed her few belongings while Connelly looked for money around the house for them to live on, just until Connelly sold enough game to feed both of them and more.

Perhaps I should mention Connelly has a blade of a knife that he has learned by himself how to handle. He still has scars on his hands from cutting himself when he was just learning. He had also made a leather belt to hang it from. He was wearing it that night .And as his sister returned to him, on her back a small bag only halfway full and a look of fear on his face, she spoke the last words that night. 'Let's go.' Connelly shook his head and motioned for her to head out of the house. A faint pink in the sky as they made their way into the forest that early morning.


They made their way through the quiet forest that morning when they heard the sirens. Connelly shot Caterina a look that said,'RUN!!!' and they both bolted as fast as they could. It was hard for 5 year-old Caterina to keep up with Connelly for he had been hunting and running more then anyone she knew. Connelly had run slow so she could keep up, but it was to slow. The hovercraft appeared out of no where. And at that moment, Connelly knew he was a dead boy, sent to the capital to work as a Avox. But it wasn't him that was caught. Caterina had tripped over a branch and had fallen. Connelly tried to come back for her but he was to late, she was dead. The Capital had shot her with an arrow that was sticking out of her back.

Through pain and grief Connelly started running again. Replaying her death over and over again in his mind as he walked into the forest of District 12.
