Dren Mixel{District 1}

I can't talk about myself with out being biased. So I will try to say what others tell me as much as I can. I have tan coppery skin and sandy hair which flows down into my eyes which are a beautiful shade of green. I am short for my age because I stand at a short 5 foot 6. I am skinny and masculine at the same time.

Often you would see me sneak behind the school building with a girl. They all love me. A lot of boys hate me because of that. Quite a few people tell me that I am a great kisser. The problem is that I am not very fast and can be caught easily. A lot of boys try to use that on me to take out their anger of me getting all the girls.

After school I go to the career center to work on training for the Hunger Games. Afterwards I go home to my Mother who most likely would be just getting back from work as a jeweler.

As you should have guessed by now that I am flirtatious. I can also get girls with my good looks. I am also proud, and others tell me, a bit arrogant. Well, not really a bit they tell me. I am also biased about myself. Yes. I'm saying it just to get it out.

I can fall for almost any girl. That is a problem I suppose. I go after one then I see another. I can be manipulative an cruel. I can often trick a number of people. I show that I am brave and proud as much as I can, but truly I am scared most of the time. No one knows about that except me, not even my mother who loves me so.

As you know from earlier I am a mostly slow runner. Despite my slow running I found out in the career training that I can throw knifes, throw spears, and swim quite well. I love the career training because that is where I can really take out my cruel and wild side. I sometimes venture out to the District fence just to see if I can see anything interesting. I never go outside of it though. Even though a lot of people mark me as a "bad boy" or a troublemaker.

I was born into a middle class family in District One with the average amount of money. Rich enough to buy career training, but not rich as "Capitol Rich." My mother lost her father and mother to an unknown illness when she was 16. She started to be a prostitute, and she hated it. She never got any kids though. When she was 23 she applied for a job in the jeweling industry.

She got a good house, and finally married someone. My mother and father were a loving couple for 17 years. They were both 30 when I was born, and as happy as can be. I was as happy as could be as I grew up. I was not cruel, or violent, or a troublemaker. I played outside with my many friends at the time.

I grew up in a happy family until I was 10. My father was taken by a flu which passed over District 1. As he died he gave me one last gift. A beautiful pin with a jewel robin on it. It impacted me hard and I suppose that was when I started to have those not very good traits. That was also the year I joined career training. As I grew up more I became more violent, and yes, more flirtatious.
