Shepherd Baker

District Ten

"...for some reason I still see blood on my hands."

Name: Shepherd Baker
Reaped
Victor of the Ninetieth HG at Eighteen
Current Age: 19
Weapon Used: Rope and Sword
Kill Count: 2
Status: Alive
Successful Tributes: None

A general quiet character, he cares more about his family and friends than himself and would go out his way to please them. He's not completely oblivious to his surroundings despite his personality. He needs prompting to talk most days now after winning the Games. Thoughts always circle around the safety of his family and friends. He suffers from nightmares after the Games, a common thing for most victors.

Arena Description:
Cornucopia started in a park amidst an urbanised area. To the East of the park lay a forest run residential area' the North had a School containing traps. The West side of the park are terraced housing areas. The South has the rest of the park as well as a main road blocked, beyond the road is blocked by electric fences and buildings. Mutts in these area come from rabid dogs and cats as well as statues forming a figure of the deceased tributes. The seasons changed every three days starting from Spring and ending in Winter.

How He Won:
Shepherd stayed with his allies to the very end. Originally, the Ten and Nine tributes formed an alliance but Shepherd's district partner invited the Four boy after noting that he was not part of the Career pack. Shepherd's district partner had died during the Bloodbath by the Seven girl. Grief stricken at the very start of the Games, the tension began to grow between the rest of the group as the days go on. Later on in the Games, they all decide to go to the forest in search for supplies, something the Nine boy was not too happy about; he eventually left after losing faith in his alliance and was then killed by the blood hungry Two girl the next day. This had plummeted the morale of his alliance even more and the Four boy took charge of the group and decided that they need to go to the School to keep warm from the coming cold. As they begin to rest during the night, however, the Seven girl attacked again injuring the Nine girl. Shepherd had managed to kill the Seven girl by strangling her with the length of rope. After she had died, the guilt immediately came across him but was comforted by the dying Nine girl until she passed the next day. With only him and the Four boy left, they continued with the plan in going to the school eventually reaching it and finding warmth for the next day as they see the Two girl's face light the sky. It was the final five, the Gamemakers decided to hold a feast inside the main hall of the school. They sent Statues of the now deceased tributes and chased them down to the hall and effectively locking them inside the hall; along with the One boy, Four and Five girls. During the feast, Shepherd ran and got the bags whilst his ally fought with the One boy, who had ambushed them. The Four and Five girl had clashed and once he got the bags and he saw his ally defeat the One boy, they escaped the hall, no longer guarded by statues. Two people had died that day and the both of them decide to lay low for a while and on the final day, the Gamemakers set the school on fire driving all three of them to go out the school where they fought with the Four girl. Shepherd stood there and watched his ally as he speared her foot and leg but was eventually overpowered by her. Unable to move fast, Shepherd had managed to beat the girl by using her trident to stop her from moving, and as she lay there grasping at the trident, Shepherd finished her off by strangling her with his necktie as he did not like seeing her struggle in pain.
