"Now, look at this, not only does he have the brains and strength, but he's also a district favorite. Oh how fun..." -Vaelyn Xiavia, Host

Name: Colorado 'Cole' Graves

Gender: Male

Age: 15

District: 7

Physical Appearance: Colorado has curly brown hair that always seems to get in his eyes and warm, brown eyes. All of his friends always complain because he as all of the girls' attention, since he is handsome and his face has not yet been ruined by working outside all day. Throughout the day, Colorado can often be seen with a smile on his face or humming to himself. He has just the right amount of muscles to be working in the trees, but is unfortunately too clumsy to handle an axe.

Personality: Colorado has a naturally caring side to him, which caused him to fall in love several times already, each ending in a broken heart. To help himself stop caring too easily, he has decided to stop altogether, even though in the deepest part of him he does. He knows not to grow attached to anyone he meets in the arena, lest they be killed by him or someone else. Also, because he isn't the best with an axe, to stay useful in the community he will go out with the others that are cutting down trees and look for different signs that the trees need to be cut down, are sick or could live several more years and grow even larger. His parents had always said he was more of the brain type and not the brawn, despite the fact he was stronger than most of the other people in his school. Colorado's main strategy in the arena is to remind himself that they are trying to kill him, and that if he has to kill anyone it will be in self defense.

Past: Colorado hates his name. When he was little, he despised his parents because they named him after a 'state' that is rumored to have existed in their area, so he tried to say his name was Cole, but the nickname never quite stuck. Despite the childish reason of his anger, ever since then they have had a bad relationship, so he tries to spend as little time with them as possible. Colorado also has no siblings, but he likes to think he has many, since he has many close friends.

Weapon of Choice: An axe, simply because he is familiar with it, or a knife

Strength: He is good at calculating things and looking for small hints while tracking people, especially if they are in a forest. Colorado is also very strong, just in case he has to get into hand to hand combat.

Weakness: Colorado is considerably bad at throwing knifes, swinging swords and dodging attacks, because his reflexes are not as fast as others since he prefers to think out every move. 

Token: A note given to him by his latest girlfriend, although they broke up as soon as his name was called for the reaping. He hopes his anger at her after he looks at the piece of paper will help him win, and he didn't want to bring anything that reminded him of his parents.
