Damon Shelton

Damon Shelton is a District 11 tribute in the 101st Hunger Games, as portrayed in Twin Snakes: The 101st Hunger Games. Due to the twist in the Games, the Damon is paired with the female tribute from District 3 in a life-and-death bond, which gets him quickly killed in the Arena. Damon is remembered for being one of the strongest tributes in the 101st Games despite his early death.
===Pre-Games===
Damon is first mentioned when Rochelle Carrillo watches the Reapings for the 101st Hunger Games. Rochelle notes that Damon is the only strong-looking tribute from the outlying Districts. She decribes him as strongly built with a murderous glint in his eyes.
As a part of the Quarter Quell twist introduced for the 100th Hunger Games, each Hunger Games from the 101st to the 125th included a minor twist chosen by the Gamemakers. The twist for the 101st Hunger Games is announced at the tribute parade, and it is announced that each tribute will be paired with another tribute in a life-and-death bond. If one partner is killed in the Arena, the other will die automatically as well. At the tribute parade, Damon is paired with the District 3 Female.
Almost immediately after the partners are assigned, the District 3 female is marked as a major target by the other tributes, as she is paired with Damon and can easily be picked off. Because of his partner, Damon becomes very vulnerable despite being a strong tribute.
When the Training Scores are announced, it is revealed that Damon scored a 9, one of the highest scores. This puts him on-par with Career tribute Zinnia Songwood. Damon only has a lower score than Pollux Avellino and August Vassault.
===The Games===
====The Bloodbath====
In the Bloodbath, Damon is separated from his partner with the other male tributes. This puts him at an extremely weak position, as he is unable to protect his weaker partner. 
In the Bloodbath, Damon fights August Vassault, putting up a very strong fight. August struggles against Damon's attacks, nearly losing the battle; however, Damon suddenly freezes, falling to the ground and dying instantly. It is revealed later in Blood Moon that Damon's partner, the District 3 female, was killed by Rochelle Carrillo elsewhere in the Arena. Because of his partner's death, poison was injected into Damon's bloodstream, killing him immediately.
===Post-Death===
Damon was one of the first tributes in the 101st Hunger Games to die, placing 21st out of the 24 tributes. He is not mentioned after her death.
