### Looks

Ivory is a slender, long-limbed tom with tall ears and a thin, whippy tail. He has a few stripes on his neck, legs, and tail, and a dark spot on his head. His fur is short and a very pale dusty grey colour. He has dark copper-coloured eyes and a long muzzle. He wears a jasper necklace around his neck that was given to him by his sister.

## Backstory

(side note- could anyone upload an image of him for me? I don't have that capability)

Ivory was born to Opal and Scorpion 15 years before the first Hunger Games. He was named Ivory due to a tradition in his mother's family that they should all be named after rocks or rock-like substances. Scorpion refused to accept this and change his name to be a rock, and left a few months after Ivory's sister, Quartz, was born. Opal couldn't handle the stress of raising four children alone, and sent Ivory and his siblings to live with their grandparents. Ivory had a fairly normal life with them. They would carve statues together, and go out to collect small rocks at the weekends. When Ivory was 13, Quartz had her hind legs crushed in an accident and could no longer leave the house. She gave Ivory the last rock she collected, and he treasures it to this day. If you try and remove it from him, he will probably bite you.

## Before the Games

### The Reaping

When Ivory's name was first called, he wasn't too worried at first. He believed that someone would volunteer to take his place due to the career-like nature of District 2, and was horrified when he realised that no one would. He left District 2 with in a daze.

### The Tribute Parade

Not willing to attempt to make the Capitol like him, Ivory stared straight ahead for the entire parade. He was wearing a simple copper-coloured robe that matched his jasper necklace, and refused to wear anything else. When he realised that sponsors were actually valuable some time afterwards, he promised himself to do better at the interviews.

### Training

Ivory spent most of his time in training wandering around and watching everyone else. He got into an argument with Morsus Mihi and was deeply offended when he called him arrogant. He also had a conversation with Cloud, although it was a lot friendlier. He taught Raptor how to start fires, and has not yet made any allies.

## The Games

Ivory's first instinct once he arrived in the arena was to run away as fast as possible. Tsunami managed to claw his face. He tried to knock her over but failed, and then fell over trying to sprint in the opposite direction. To his surprise, Tsunami then helped him get the sand out of his nose and they formed an alliance.

Later that day, Ivory tried to take a thing from the cornucopia. He would probably have gotten more than he did had there not been a snake down there that scared him off. From the cornucopia, Ivory took a large tarp, a short length of rope, and a small piece of cloth.
