Zaire Trahan, District 5

Zi is a very handsome boy. He has his father's dark chocolate brown hair and his soft pouty lips. Pretty much everything on him resembles his dad. His thick eyebrows, his natural tan, and his perfectly proportioned nose are all taken from his father. He has his mother's soft brown eyes, her strongly implied jaw,and her rounded ears.

His physique is a mixture between the two of his parents. His arms and legs are fit with muscles that ripple beneath his skin, like his dad. Like his mother, he is tall, with long limbs and a long neck to match. This makes his muscles look smaller than they really are. (He also has his father's large feet!)

He gets his fashion sense from his mother, fortunately. He likes to look nice when he goes somewhere. It doesn't matter if he is going to the market, he wants to be presentable to the public. To go anywhere, he has to at least have on a pair of blue jeans and a shirt that isn't stained to hell. He wears different shoes depending on the weather and/or temperature. Summer=Converse
Winter=boots

Zaire is over all a nice guy. One the inside that is. He acts like a "bad-boy" in order to look cool in front of his friends, but half the things he does scare the crap out of him. Like once, when his frinds dared him to climb up an old abandonned oil rig blind folded. Thank the forces from above that he didn't get hurt.

He refuses to show any emotion outside of anger and happiness to his friends, regardless of how close they are. He mainly hides the emotions he thinks make him vunerable. Sadness, anxiousness, worry, all of these are what he tends to keep away from people.He does have major trust issues when it comes to letting people inside his brain, or his heart. Usually the only person he can trust is a girlfriend he has had for a while. By a while, two weeks doesn't cut it.

Zaire loves to have a good time just as much as the next person. It is hard to find somebody outside the capitol who wants to have a good time, but if your looking, Zi is one of the people you will find. His version of a good time may be different than most peoples. To him, being surrounded by friends is the best thng ever. It doesn't matter where they are, or what they are doing.

Zaire has a very big sense of curiosity. He has to observe everything. As a child he often roamed around District 5 exploring. He still does today, actually. SOmething about discovering new things fasinates Zi. Animals are on of Zaire's most favorite topics. They are all so different from the next, but in the same sense, the exact same. They are all creatures that are a part of a bigger system. He will probably always enjoy using his eyes as his "examiners."

Zi has never been close to his parents. Sure they raised him, and he respcts them for that, but he always got the feeling that they only had him to appear as if they were the perfect family. Zaire is all for appearances, but even he felt that this was taking it a little far. Having a child just to look good? Hmm....

Even though he is reserved, he often encourages others to speak up as much as possible. He enjoys exploring people as much as anything else. They are just another puzzle,awaiting to be solved. He can be extremely sly and elusive, so lots of times, people don't even realize they are opening up to him until they have told him pretty much EVERYTHING. He prides himself in his ability to get others to confess their inner thoughts.

He often doesn't pay attention. He can become completely oblivious to the world in a matter of seconds. When he him self isn't wandering, his mind is. Animals are another thing he is oblivious to. Even though he knows that his parents won't allow him to have them, he often brings home birds or squirells whose parents have abandoned them. He cares for them in secret and releases them when they are mature enough to survive.

Zaire Clay Trahan was born as nothing but a piece in the"perfect family" his parents wanted everybody to think they were. They kept up appearances in front of all the people who wandered by, but as they were leaving, it was as if Zi would disappear. His parents would almost forget he was there.

Like most children, Zi's first words were "momma" and "da-da" The problem was, he called anyone who he saw by those two names. It wasn't his fault. His parents just said the words around him enough for him to recognize them. The sad thing was, they weren't saying it to Zaire. They were saying it in front of all their guests. "Yep, I'm a Daddy!" or "That's momma's little boy!" were things Zi would hear.

Despite his crappy parents, Zi was very outgoing in his younger years. He wasn't afraid to speak up. In fact, he rathered speaking up than being quiet. He always made sure his opinion on things made sense to all who were listening. He wasn't catious at all. It was quickly realized that Zaire was going to be smart. Hecould count to ten when he was only just turning four. He was speaking with an extremely extended vocabulary for somebody his age. He was pronouncing words correctly as well.

It came as no surprise that he excelled in school, regardless of huis hating the new industry. Oil. The only thing Zi could find that he liked about the new industry was the abandoned rig he and his friends discovered. It is now their main hangout. As he grew older and his body began to change, he had nobody to go to for advice. All his friends were the same age as him, if not then younger. He and his father weren't close enough, so he just had to discover it all on his on.
