Isalis [D8]

"He's so tiny. So fragile to the world..."

Standing only 5'8'', not too tall, but average, Isalis is a very lean and skinny boy smaller than most of his friends. He ways only a mere 130 pounds. Toned, but not muscular, Isalis tends to have a meek stature. When challenged to arm wrestles by friends, Isalis would be that one boy who is beat by everyone, including the girls.

"He has his father's nose, but his mother's smile..."

He is mixed of African-american and Caucasian descent, displaying some African features from his wide nose, to his thick lips, but his skin tone is relativity lighter when not tanned from working in the fields of district 8. His hair is usually cut and styled in a traditional Buzz-cut, but when long it becomes a little more curly and thick. For some odd reason, this seems to be the fascination of most of the younger children of district 8.

"And his eyes... When they cry, storms will brew.. when they light up with joy, The sun seems to shine brighter.."

Of all his traits, one stands most prominent, his eyes. A dark brown, that are lighter in the day. His eyes are filled with a delicate sensitivity that not even those of a baby possess.

"It's hard to be perfect. I'm am most defiantly not perfect. But aren't your flaws what make you you? Where to begin...Better yet, what depth to begin? I guess i'll start shallow?...

I'm not sure what to say. Ummm... I tend to pop my knuckles? I lick my lips when i'm nervous?...Umm..Why is this so difficult? I guess i'll just go deeper...

Where do I start?... Well I guess i can start by saying i'm open to anything. From foods, to friends, to lovers... I guess you can say i'm open minded, and my friends call me optimistic... I guess I can agree with them.I just don't see it... But all optimism and smiles aside, i have fair share of secrets.... I guess i'll tell you some..

I like both... Sexes I mean.. Guys and girls. Have I ever been with anyone? No.. But i think one day I will... Love is blind isn't it? So i guess it takes a while to find you..

Another secret? I guess you can say i'm a manipulator...A good liar. Perhaps too good... It's gotten me into a lot of trouble, not that i couldn't get myself out of it. I guess I have my way with words... "

-Isalis Troddison

Isalis Troddison was born in district 8. Because his mother died during birth, Isalis was raised by his father....Or more so himself. Isalis began learning the ropes on harvesting cotton, a family tradition, passed down through many generations, at an early age of 7. Through years of practice, Isalis became very nimble and skilled with his hands, able to tie the tightest of knots, and set the most intricate and complex snares or traps (generally used for catching rodents) so he could feed him and his father.

Years after his mother passed, Isalis and his father began to drift. Due to his mother's death, his father tried to find himself at the bottom of a bottle.. Night after night his father would come home from a close bar, after spending most of their savings on booze, and argue with Isalis which normally resulted in a beating, both emotionally and physically...But Isalis never let this keep him from his priorities of feeding him and his father, and working the fields to provide some form of income.

Eventually he began to adapt to the life he was given. And vowed to make whatever pain his father will put him through, a tool for his success in the future. No matter what may come.
