Rubus Ceallach, 12

Rubus Ceallach

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late

Rubus is small for his age, at only 5'1. He's scrawny too, with a mess of dark hair on top of his head, often falling in his eyes and tickling the nape of his neck. It makes him seem almost understated, like perhaps he lives in a shoebox and only speaks when spoken to. He has thick brown eyebrows that frame his blue-green eyes. It's called Selective Heterochromia Iridis, and it's a genetic mutation.[/i] He has full, pouting lips that aid him in his escapades to get everything he wants. Yeah right, one pout and they're putty in my hand.[/colour]

Being so young and unassuming has made Rubus lucky enough to avoid being scarred by bullies, and his natural grace of movement has protected him from any accidents over the years. The only part of him that looks rough is the fact that his face and hair are perpetually grubby. He takes a bath and then ten minutes later is covered in dirt again.It's just my adventurous nature!

When left to his own devices, Rubus wears the most comfortable clothes he can find, no matter their aesthetic appeal. But often, his mother will put her foot down and subject Rubus to a cleansing, wash him thoroughly, slick his hair back from his eyes, and force him into clothes that look nice but move stiffly. These incidences usually end with petulant looks and newly ruined clothes.



Rubus is very fun to be around.Of course I am.[/colour] His good listening and relaxed nature make him easy to get along with. He's sarcastic and sassy, but never in a cruel way, and his laugh is loud and bright, infecting those who hear it.

Rubus isn't typically intelligent, and doesn't do fantastic in school, but he has an amazing memory and loves reading. He knows more random facts than any other person you know. Daniella Lamonde, the female tribute from 9 for the 57th games, came from a family of seamstresses, which was why her token was a thimble.[/i] He reads almost constantly, but never fiction, and he always chews on his shirt collar when he's focused.

Rubus makes friends easily, but prefers the company of only one or two. He loves his older brother and sister with an unwavering admiration, despite the fact that he is considered the golden child. Golden Schmolden, Juniper and Bo are the best, and they love me too.

Rubus can be very stubborn, and often when he gets frustrated his sassiness can turn into snarkiness. For the most part Rubus tries very hard to avoid conflict, because of the way his brother reacts, the one exception of course being if someone is being cruel to Bo. Rubus is very kind, and generous and on a good day, exceedingly sweet.

Rubus is only twelve, and as the youngest sibling, can be immature. He loves to go on adventures with his friends, and more often then not returns home after school covered in some unsavoury substance, with a story of his latest 'tight-spot' story.

Rubus, compared to his siblings, has had a rather relaxed childhood. He grew up playing with Juniper and Bo, and being showered with affections, and all his memories of being young are happy ones. Oh this makes me sound all sappy. It was just good okay?

The only terrible mark on his past was when Rubus 9, his sister Juniper was kicked out of the house.For no good reason![/colour] It caused a rift between Bo and Rubus and their mother, who thought she was doing the right thing and refused to be convinced otherwise. Losing Juniper was extremely hard for Rubus, and he will sometimes still cry at night when she isn't there to sing to him. Their sister's absence did bring Bo and Rubus much closer together, and Rubus loves Bo fully, and doesn't think he is robotic or cold.Both words my mother has used to describe him.[/colour] They spend almost all of their time together, and Rubus walks home with Bo each day to help keep the bullies who torture him away.

Rubus has a wonderful relationship with his father, the best of his siblings.He doesn't say it, but I know it's because I'm the "normal" one.[/colour] They have very similar personalities, and look very much alike, except that I got my mom's pouty mouth instead of his wide one,[/colour] and they will often go together to the Hob on weekends to do the shopping that hasn't been done during the week.

It's a simple life for Rubus, and he appreciates that fact. He's hungry but not starving, and he's got a family who loves him. There's also a small dark part of him that is glad that he was lucky enough to be the child without learning disabilities and anger issues, or without a fluid sexuality.
