Appearance:
Eric is a small child who is shorter than most other children in the district, standing at a measly 5'2". He's also skinny and lighter than most kids at a weight of 57 pounds. His skin is white and he has thick brown hair. His hair lightly covers his right eye and his eyes are a dark brown. He has no scars across his body apart from his hands which have faint marks from the occasional prick of the needle when sewing.
Since he is very light and small, he is very fast and agile and his size makes it easier for him to hide. His time sewing things has also made him quite proficient with his hands. However, he isn't very strong meaning that people can very easily overpower him. His pale skin can be attributed to how he spends nearly all of his time indoors. He can be normally seen wearing very simple clothes such as a t-shirt and shorts.
Personality:
Eric has Anthropophobia, or the phobia of other people, especially large crowds. He very rarely leaves his home, only leaving for school. Whenever he is in school, he exhibits extreme shyness to the point of hiding in the back of classes and even occasionally skipping school entirely in an effort to hide from people. The fear stemmed from watching the residents cheer for his brother's death and time in the Hunger Games. He isn't one for violence, and will only partake in it if it is very much necessary.
He has a passion for sewing and when not in school, can be found inside his home sewing a wide variety of things from jumpers to blankets. Eric is very skilled with his hands and finds that sewing helps him relax. Eric is a very innocent person who can be quite easily afraid of most things including the darkness. He basically tries to run away from things if he is scared of them.
He also likes to sing and normally sings while sewing for long periods of time. If one is able to break through his phobia, Eric turns out to be a very kind person who is socially awkward due to the fact he doesn't really interact with people. They will also find out that Eric is quite a smart kid who actually can retain information well. However, he very much prefers sewing to anything else, so he doesn't really act upon his knowledge of various things
History:
Eric was born into an average family that worked in the sewing business. He had a father, a mother and a brother who was 8 years old when he was born. Eric was a very frail baby and when he was growing up, his parents felt that he was unsuited for harvesting materials and instead brought him up to sew. When growing up, Eric was a happy child who spent most of his time with his brother playing together whenever they had a chance.
When Eric was 6, his brother was reaped and forced to take part in the hunger games. He watched as the crowds cheered when his brother was fighting for his life. Eventually, his brother lost his life in the arena and the shock of it caused Eric to develop a fear of other people due to the bloodthirsty nature that showed when his brother was fighting for his life.
The once happy boy became very reclusive and shy, never leaving the house except for going to school. He kept away from the other children and tended to try to find ways of escaping the school building. This attitude to life kept up for the rest of his life as Eric never got over his brother's death nor did he ever shake his fear for other people. He still is trying to find a way of escaping school to this day, but hasn't found one. Yet.
