James Gray

== Pre-Games Life ==
As a young boy James secretly enjoyed watching the Hunger Games each year. He had boyish fantasies of getting Reaped and proving stronger than everyone else to become the sole Victor. He recognized these fantasies as childish and morbid and upon getting Reaped immediately wondered if it was his comeuppance.

When the Bloodbath started James immediately acknowledged the reality of the Games and ran. He continued to flee until he stopped at a store selling Alpaca fur products. He hid behind the cash register and scavenged candy bars for sustenance. On the second day of the Games Emma Wolfe of District One entered James' store while sweeping for Tributes. She spotted James and shot him with a poisoned arrow, killing him.
