Lyte Anderson

Lyte Anderson was the male District Six Tribute for the Thirtieth Hunger Games.

## Pre-Games Life

Lyte lived with his parents and little sister Equua. He studied night and day to earn a slot in a Capitol university so he could become a doctor, driven both by compassion for others and for the economic improvements he could make for his family.

## Games Description

Arena: shopping mall

In the Capitol Lyte met and bonded with Reiner Ludwig of District Seven. The two boys merged into a larger alliance including Felix Veaux of District Ten, Tillo Peters of District Nine, Shogo Hara of District Four, and Hunter Thompson of District One. Reiner and Lyte attempted to meet up during the Bloodbath but Gordon Spokes of District Three reached Lyte first and fatally crushed his throat.

## First Resurrection Games

Arena: Mayan Temple

Lyte and his former allies (minus Tillo, who won the thirtieth Games) reunited and gathered more allies to make a grand total of seventeen allies. Lyte enjoyed his time in the Capitol and especially enjoyed sculpting sugar with Reiner.

The first chance for Lyte to exhibit his medical skills came after Hunter's finger was maimed in the Bloodbath. It was unable to be saved and Lyte carefully sliced through the tiny hinge of flesh and cleanly bandaged the wound. Some days later he survived the assault on his alliance by the mutt Ah-Puch, which killed half of his allies.

Lyte's shining moment came when the Gamemakers released malaria into the Arena. The remaining Tributes were decimated but not one of Lyte's allies were lost due to his tireless medical intervention. With the help of Vera Busattil of District Four, his only ally who did not fall ill, Lyte located cinchona plants and extracted a crude form of quinine to treat his stricken allies.

When a mutt Camazotz attacked his alliance Vera was gravely wounded as she fought the beast. As they fled she was unable to keep up and eventually fell. Lyte ran back to help her, stemming the blood and treating the wound even as the Camazotz closed in. He faced his impending death with quiet determination and remained with Vera until the Camazotz killed them both.

Placing: 8th

## No-Career Resurrection Games

Arena: graveyard

Lyte rejoined most of his allies, though some were left out of the Games because they were Careers.

For the first half of the Games Lyte's alliance encountered little trouble. Their greatest challenge came when the Gamemakers again released a disease into the Arena- this time, Black Death. The plague didn't have an easily synthesized cure like malaria and Lyte was devastated to discover there was nothing he could do. To his further dismay, he didn't contract the illness and was forced to watch helplessly as his allies dwindled. Felix succumbed and Reiner was killed by Jack Void of District Twelve as he searched for a cure.

With all of his allies dead except Vera and Frankie Disney of District Eleven, Lyte went out to be alone with his thoughts for a while, knowing that few Tributes would attack him unprovoked because of his reputation as a neutral medic. As he passed a gravestone Kerry Selmosa of District Five sprang out and smashed his head with a piece of gravestone. When he saw it was Lyte he'd attacked he was horrified and tried to help but it was too late and Lyte died in Kerry's arms.

Placing: 12th

## Patriot Games

In the special Heroes vs. Villains Games designed by Titian, Lyte survived the first round, a mini-Bloodbath, because no one considered him a threat and therefore no one attacked him. In the second round, designed to test loyalty to Capitol orders, Lyte was told to carry out the execution via electric chair of a supposed criminal. Lyte flatly refused. Titian asked again and when he again refused Titian fatally shot him.

Placing: 7th

## Capitol Games

In the Capitol preparing for his second special Games Lyte met Rose Snow as she visited the Games Building food court with her forced companion Calvary Warsaw to see the Tributes. When Rose choked on a bite of food Lyte quickly administered the Heimlich maneuver and saved her.

In the Bloodbath Lyte flew to the aid of Shinju Matsushita of District Three when she was injured in the Bloodbath. He managed to carry her to a bathroom and barricade them both in. He spent the next few days bonding with the damaged and bitter girl and convincing her she wasn't evil. In a miraculous feat of empathy and healing Lyte was able to bring Shinju to the side of light and help her heal. Shortly after that Lyte was summoned via Gamemaker announcement to report to the front entrance of the house that served as the Arena. He was met by Head Gamemaker Theodora Harp who announced that at the pleadings of Rose, President Snow had extended Lyte a pardon for his Reaping as thanks for saving his daughter's life. He was escorted from the Arena and set up with a new life in the Capitol as a potential medical student.

Placing: Non-gameplay elimination

## Post-Games Life

Lyte continued his studies and earned a place in a medical program. He specialized in trauma care and upon graduation was placed in the Games Building as one of the team of medics that tends to Victors as soon as they are removed from the Arena.

## Personality

Lyte lives up to his name in every way. He is a resilient and unsinkable boy. He cares deeply for others, loving his work as a doctor and healer. He has an unshakable moral code and will follow it at any cost. Not even death will move him.

## Trivia

* Lyte has the highest audience approval rating of any Tribute and this contributed greatly to Snow's decision to pardon him.
* Head Gamemaker Titian Qin greatly dislikes Lyte and argued against his pardon.
