Enzo Duchanne
Age 20 - Male - District 7 - Odair
Rules are meant to be broken not followed, whoever said I should follow the rules can take a hike for all I care. You see, I'm a rebel of the law, a thief as most would call me but I've got a just cause, I'm doin it to give my Queen and group of thieves a better life. As their leader, I gotta provide for 'em so excuse me if I steal your wallet. My names Enzo, by the way, leader of the Duchanne guild of thieves and I pride myself on not having been caught yet. I'm twenty years of age and have been doing this since I was thirteen. My Queen, Alex, has been with me since then and we were the ones who started this guild. We wanted a place for us and a place where those cast out of the district could call home.
I found Alex alone one night,curled up in a ball and I remember taking pity on her, realizing that maybe she was just like me, abandoned by her own family and an outcast. Being the boy I was, I lifted her up and carried her back to the place I called home which was a little shack in the forest of seven that though it may not have been the greatest place ever, it was somewhere she would be safe. I fed her and when she fell asleep that night, I couldn't help myself from wrapping my arm around her. She was freezing and soaked to the bone and so sharing body heat seemed smart.
Since that night, I seem to have become what most would call over protective of my Queen. She is my world but I wanted to give others what we had. At first, she objected and I wasn't sure why but I finally pursuaded her to let us take in others. We are a family now, a family of thieves who look out for each other always.
At twenty years of age, I am safe from the reaping but Alex being two years younger than I, is still eligible and that idea terrifies me. I have become a little too over protective because I'm afraid she'll someday be sent into that form of hell on earth and she'll never come back. I know she is strong but I'm afraid she isn't that strong. Alex would probably skin me though if she ever heard me say that.
Over the years, I have noticed my feelings for Alex have grown, no longer do I just see her as someone to protect but someone who is as strong as I am and someone that I may have fallen for. She seems to like my rugged appearance, the beard that is just starting to grow and the accent I developed and never lost. She even seems to like the numerous scars crisscrossing my arms, legs, chest, and face from years of hardship and the callouses on my hands when I touch her. I am her hero and I always will be but could she ever love someone like me?
Apart from my overprotectiveness, Alex says I'm easy to annoy. You see, she likes to question everything I do and it is frustrating at times, like why are you questioning me? Other than Alex, no one else in our little group seems to ever question me or challenge me but I don't mind that, sometimes it's nice to rule a place where people would follow you to the ends of Panem if you asked them to. Along with that is Loyalty which is a big thing for me, I am a loyal person to those I trust but if someone breaks my trust, I have a hard time forgiving them because they could have potentially put my family in danger.
I'll admit I'm stubborn, I'm stubborn on things because if I wasn't, things would not get done around here. My stubborness is what keeps us working like a well oiled machine and keeps us safe. I probably should introduce some of the others in my guild, considering they're kind of important. There's Innocence, the twelve year old girl who I will not allow to go out on missions because it's just too dangerous. I consider her almost like a little sister and she's quite important to me. I found her not too long ago and she seemed so lonely. I couldn't resist her and so I took her in. There is also Balthazar, the brains of our opperation, I often go to him for advice if I don't know what to do about something and he likes to invent things. Anyways, I probably should explain what exactly happened before I was thirteen.
From the start, I was an unwanted child, an accident, my parents called me a mistake on their part and made sure I knew it. I'm thankful that they waited till I was at least smart enough to fend for myself but I have to say, those years of my life were hellish. I don't usually tell people about what happened, not even Alex knows about my past and I will do a lot to make sure that she never does until I am ready to tell her which I haven't quite come to that point yet. Perhaps it is better that the past is unknown because I'll admit, I'm not ready to face it. I haven't actually remembered my past since I met Alex because I don't want her to worry. Anyways, I suppose that's all you need to know about.
