Conner Gibbons

## Early Life

Growing up Conner’s life was never easy. Difficult is an understatement. At the age of seven his mother got deathly sick. His dad always working,Conner had to stay home and take care of her and his little sister, Rae. During this process he had to watch his mom slowly deteriorate until her dying breath. Because of her death his dad became distant and abusive. He had to continue to raise his little sister and basically became her father. He saw the world in her and wanted nothing but for her to be happy and safe in life. His dad regularly would come home late at night after spending all day at work then at the bar. He didn't speak much and if Conner tried to speak to him he would get a response physically. He didn't only lose his mother that year  but he also lost his father. He took it upon himself to get his sister ready each day and do the house chores being sure everything was taken care of.

As soon as he was able he enlisted into training. He worked hard and excelled quickly being a natural born fighter. He soon became one of the rebellion's fiercest fighters. He took the responsibility of learning how to be a great fighter while raising Rae. It wasn't easy but it was worth it. The bond he had with her was unbreakable and he was okay. He believed that she would be able to have a good life. That she would be okay. But he was very very wrong.

## Rae's Death

Conner had just gotten to the age where he couldn't be thrown into the hunger games however his little sister still could. They were all lined up with pits in their stomachs as they waited for the names to be picked. He shut his eyes tight when it was the girl's turn and to Conner’s dismay, "Rae Gibbons" was echoed through the microphone. He gasps for breath but still can't breathe. He hears his sister cry out and try to shove off peacekeepers and uses a move Conner taught her injuring a peacekeeper earning herself a gunshot to the head. He couldn't even fathom what had happened. It was in that moment his world came tumbling down and it gave him the fire he needed to lead as VP in the rebellion.

## The Rebellion

A new anger filled Conner’s heart that day and it was then he decided to join the group that Lukas had been begging him to. The only reason he didn't join before  was to be there for Rae but that wasn't needed anymore. He quickly flew up the ranks and ended up running for VP with his best friend Lukas by his side. They were elected and he is now doing his best to be the VP the rebellion needs. However, his ego and the anger that swallows him whole makes it hard for him to make clear headed decisions but he eventually learns how to lead the way it is needed. By his best friend's side having his back completely even when it's hard.
