Tebryn

> While their appearance confused many, they quickly gained the hearts of many viewers. Unfortunately, hearts were just as quickly broken. Perhaps Tebyrn should have been even more nervous than they were.

 Tebryn was a polite and unique Elf. They performed fairly well in the evaluations, and even formed a peaceful pact with Ifan. Perhaps having one of the most unusual origins of all the tributes, Tebryn was reportedly stuck in the dark dimension of Shadowfell, though no hard proof of this claim exists. It was supposedly here that they tragically lost both of their parents to the evils lurking within. Bravely, Tebryn continued on until being reaped in the first season of the Hunger Games.

## Character Bio

### Appearance

Tebryn had dark, rich plum skin. Curiously, they had the ears of an Elf and no tail, hooves, or horns expected from a Tiefling, which they lightly resembled. Several media outlets reported an almost an other-worldly feel to their in-person appearance. They stood at about 5'10" tall, had a very slender build, lean muscle, with hair that was a dark shade of purple and cut short; a style not seen in the Capitol in decades that featured a side part. Their eyes had black pupils and sclera and their irises were a bright green with a faint glow to them.

### Character History

#### Childhood

Tebryn Vamik VonTurin-Del'amatar (Bryn) was born a Half-Elf. Their mother was an Elf and their father a Human. Their parents were adventurers and, being from District 4, they loved taking him to the ocean. It took years to understand why, but letters written by his parents claim Bryn treated the sea as a friend from an early age. Bryn would take small "treasures" from their family's trips to the seaside, where the tyke would throw them in "for their friend's collection." One day, when Bryn was around 8, there was a raid on their home by hostile mages. In an attempt to escape, Tebryn's mother tried to teleport the family to safety. However, her spell was interrupted and went horribly wrong. The family found that they had been teleported to the Shadowfell, a dangerous dimension full of predatory pseudo-beings. Upon arriving, they were immediately set upon by a group of Bodak and Bryn's mother was killed within minutes.

*Archivist's Note: Citizens are reminded to report suspicious or criminal behavior* *at the earliest opportunity, and not to wait until being reaped. Failure to report criminal behavior can carry criminal charges. We must all stand together against threats to our community.*

#### Adolescence

Bryn and Samwise, their father, wandered the Shadowfell for years searching for a way home. They eventually found a teleportation circle that was rumored to reach the material plane. As Samwise was completing his teleportation spell, a group of Shadar-Kai attacked the duo. Bryn's father ushered Bryn away, staying behind to destroy the circle so that Bryn couldn't be followed. After years of darkness, cold, and encounters with endless monstrosities, Tebryn Vamik VonTurin-Del'amatar finally returned to his home on the material plane. Upon their return, Bryn's diary suggested they realized just how much the Shadowfell had changed them. Their skin had darkened to a plum color and their eyes had begun to glow green.

## Preparing For The Games

### Interview

Tebryn's interview with Caesar Flickerman served as an excellent introduction to their life. While timid at first, Tebryn attempted a few subtle jokes and opened up about their experience in the Shadowfell, as well as the death of their father and the origin of their purple skin.

### Time in the Training Grounds

During their time in the training grounds, Tebryn had a cordial (if slightly awkward) exchange with the would-be victor, Ifan. After talking with Ifan about their past, Tebryn declined Ifan's offer to spar and instead spent the remainder of his time in quiet meditation. During their evaluation, Tebryn was able to display their skills in athletics and arcana. In the end, the judges were fairly impressed, granting them the score of 6.5 (twelfth best among tributes.)

## During The Game

### Bloodbath

Once the Games initiated, Tebryn seemed to freeze out of apparent fear. They waited for some time on their platform before choosing to rush in to supply themselves. During the Bloodbath chaos, they were able to secure a Burglar's Pack as well as a quarterstaff. As they retreated from the Cornucopia, Tebryn and Ander traded several shots, injuring each other.

### Day 1

Tebryn's first day did not last long after the Cornucopia. After narrowly escaping with their life after a series of blows from Ander, Tebryn took a moment to rest in The Forests of Elysium. Before they knew it, his foe had reappeared.

### Death

A death short and swift, Tebryn's tragic story came to a close with a crossbow bolt from Ander. The poor Half-Elf's epic journey through the realm of Shadowfell had all been for naught.

## Trivia

After their interview, Tebryn told Caesar off-camera that the cutest pair around was Caesar and Effie.

It has been postulated that Tebryn turned down an alliance offer from Zerlina. After investigation, Archivists believe this rumor has substance but firm evidence is thin.

Panem Archive arcanists have reverse-engineered the runic sequence of the teleportation circle used to send Tebryn back to the material plane. We are happy to report that Samwise's remains have successfully been repatriated.
