Stitch Arbor // D8

Short, wavy dark brown fine hair and dark brown, almost black eye with little flecks of light brown in them and slightly tanned skin.
He stands at 5' 9” and weighs around 8-9 stone. He is slim with little muscle and hold himself strong. He has a weak joint in his left arm where one hit in the right place could shatter his bones.
He is far too skinny for his age, but dont let his frail look fool you, other than his left arm he is an extremely flexible guy.
He has a scar across his chest after one of his clients got carried away. Has a tattoo of a raven on the wrist of his left arm.

Stitch has not always been a cold hearted guy. In fact growing up he was the sweetest little boy. But after he went through a traumatizing experience his entire personality flipped. Around others he holds himself strong, not letting anybody intimidate him.
He doesn't care who he hurts to get what he wants and will go to any lengths to achieve set goals. He can easily manipulate others and will sooner kill then let anybody get close.
At times his older, nicer and sweeter self can show but this is rare and most of the time not in front of anybody.
There are a select few who can draw this sweeter side out and they are the only people he trusts. When this side is shown he is funny and gains a boost in his confidence. He speaks more and laughs, he turns back into the sweet little boy he once was.
He shuts people out because of what Cora did. Stitch let her get close and he felt like he could start life again with her but as soon as he came of age Cora betrayed him and went against her word. That is where his trust issues started and they just grew from there.

Stitch was born into a family of 5. There was his parents and his older twin brothers, Twine and Thimble. From a young age he was put into work and by age 10 he was working in the factories. Around this time his mother had given birth to a little girl, Velvet. Stitch adored his new sister and he would always be by her side.
When he was 13 his life took a turn for the worse. While he was at home looking after Velvet for the morning the factory that his parents and elder brothers were in had went up in flames after one of the machines exploded. Stitch and Velvet were orphaned that day and left to beg for scraps on the street.
The next few months of his life consisted of stealing to keep Velvet fed and dodging peacekeepers. Not long after he had turned 14 Velvet had gotten sick and died a few days later. Stitch had lost everything and he fell into a deep depression. He wondered the streets feeling lost and hollow.
That is when Cora came into his life. At first she seemed kind and willing to help. She took Stitch in and it was a struggle at first but Stitch came to love Cora like the mother he had lost. But that love vanished when Cora shown her true colours and started selling Stitch's body for money. She ran a pleasure house called the 'Hut'. Stitch refused at first and Cora threatened to throw him out and Stitch knew he would die out there. Stitch became a favourite and at just 15 years old he was seeing around 7 men a day, the majority of them being peacekeepers.
Stitch changed. He turned cold and distant. His older self was buried deep down inside and he built up walls around himself to stop anybody getting close. The men he would see, he would manipulate them into telling him secrets like how he could get a weapon, secrets about the Capitol or he would blackmail them for more money.
