Ribbons: Leonardo Nitel (AnonymousRice4)

!!Contains all entries for Leo!!

Form <><><><>

Name: Leonardo 'Leo' Nitel

Pronunciation: Leo Nigh-tel

Age: 16

Gender: Male

District: 8

Appearance: The first thing you notice about Leo is his height, he stands at six foot. For his age, he is quite tall and solidly built. His muscles are big from working in the factory and moving crates around – and in this game, strength is a good advantage to have. His skin is a light olive colour and his eyes are a light brown. His black hair is unkept but has a reasonably tame look to it. He generally brushes it to the side if it gets in the way.

Personality: Leo is what you would call 'street smart'. He doesn't get all the grades, but he knows his way around that and is clever in other areas. He knows how most things work, even if he doesn't know what 7 x 8 is. Leo isn't shy either; he speaks his mind but knows when he needs to keep his trap shut. Some might confuse him as boisterous from seeing him at school (which he no longer goes to) but out of school he is calm and an easy-going guy. Leo works at the factory and works hard to get the job done and earn money. Leo is caring to those who know him – take his sisters, for example. He takes care of them every spare minute. Leo has lots of friends, and has always been a popular person. He has a good sense of humor and tends to think on the brighter sides of terrible situations. If a difficult challenge arises, Leo is determined to find a way through it – he gives his best at everything and never gives up. He tries to make himself the best role model for his siblings.  

Background: At age 5, Leo's father passed away from a serious illness. His mother, pregnant at the time, had to work hard as a seamstress for anyone who was willing to pay. She was desperate and they struggled for several years. When Leo turned 12, he immediately signed up for terrassae to feed his family and he also got a job to work at the factory after school every day. Slowly, his family came back together. He left school at 14 to work full time at the factory, and his mother works as a teacher at the school. He does his best to take care of his sisters, Marla and Sarah, when his mother isn't home. Leo has his name in the Reaping over twenty times because he refuses Marla to risk herself for it. His family is everything to him, he would give up anything to keep them safe and well.

Family: Diana Nitel (43, mother)

               Liam Nitel (deceased, father)

             Marla (12, sister) and Sarah (10, sister)  

Romance: Leo isn't interested in any of the girls, despite his many admirers. Maybe he will find his love when times turn.

Weapon of Choice: Sword or throwing knives.

Favourite arena type: City layout. Leo is good at navigating and remembering landmarks in a cityscape.

Token: A small wooden doll that his sisters made for him.

Ribbon: Yellow

Anything you should know: Leo is a determined boy and will do anything survive. He's not one to be counted out just because of his lousy district. 

Task 1 <><><><>

"Marla, you look amazing!" I told my sister as a tugged her hand and led her out of the house.
