"I wish you luck, Wiley. The young usually don't last very long..." -Vaelyn Xiavia, Host

Name: Wiley Terus

Gender: Male

Age: Twelve

District: 12

Physical Appearance: Wiley is small for his age and has the dark hair possessed by most Seam children. His eyes are hazel, and he has hundreds of freckles dotting his cheeks. A smile as radiant as the sun. Skinny and a bit malnourished, but has muscle from helping his parents take care of his siblings.

Personality: Wiley is a quiet soul who rarely speaks, and when he does most people stop to listen. He loves animals and being outdoors. Has a temper, but has learned to conceal it. He is almost always surrounded by little children that he has to help provide for, and rarely has time for himself. On times he does get alone he likes to wander around and just enjoy the peace and serenity of the nature around him. He often gathers herbs and plants for his mother, and is very knowledgeable on which plants are safe to eat and which are deadly. He is a very gentle and loving child, and the thought of killing never even crossed his mind until his name was picked at the reaping.

Past: Wiley comes from a completely normal family of five: his parents, him, and his two younger siblings. He grew up in the Seam, and scraping for survival is nothing new to him. He had a baby sister that died of the measles, and ever since then Wiley has vowed not to let anyone in his family meet the same fate. He worked hard at a young age, and though he was unable to work in the mines he found work in other places: helping in the bakery, at the grocers, and any other place that would let him help. Because of his perseverance, kindness, and gentle spirit, everyone who knew him loved and respected him. When his name was drawn at the reaping, everyone knew that his chances at winning were nearly impossible. He did too.

Weapon of Choice: Bow and arrows.

Strength: Wiley is small and agile, and can run very fast. He has an incredible knowledge of herbs and plants, and is smart in ways people wouldn't expect a twelve year old to be. He is good at setting traps. He is no stranger to survival.

Weakness: His age, for one. Being so young and his competitors so much older, his chances of overpowering one of them are impossible. Second, he is far too gentle and compassionate for his own good.

Token: A wooden bead bracelet that his younger siblings made him.
