History:
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Male
District/Area: District 11
Appearance:
Characteristically of District 11, Rolphe has dark hair and darker skin. Working in the fields daily has tanned him greatly, but his hair remains dark as well. He has a muscular build, not overly jacked though, just enough to complete his job well. Rolphe generally has a solemn persona, not one to fraternize with others all that frequently. Although some may consider him attractive, he has a general lack of interest in almost all others. Rolphe is a relatively good example of the clichéd appearance of District 11.Play-By: Zac Efron
Personality:
Rolphe is what the Capitol prefers in District 11. He's quiet, and works fine. Never one to start a problem, he is a very apathetic person. Friends are a scarcity, but Rolphe doesn't have a problem with that. The only time he truly talks is when he is with his immediate family. Only they get to actually see a person, under the façade of nothingness that everyone else assumes he is.
At 17, Rolphe is an outcast. Even though his district is a poor one, the other teenagers still have some what of social interests. Not Rolphe. The only "friends" he has are the others that most frequently work in the same general area as him. And even those people rarely see a deeper side of him.
History:
Rolphe is in an average-sized family, similar to most of District 11. His father is a wide-shouldered, strong man. He had worked in the fields for nearing 40 years before the tendons in his arms and shoulders finally couldn't take it anymore. By then, however, he already had two well-developed sons to continue on working for the family. Rolphe's mother is a nimble woman, who has and still does work in the orchards. While she doesn't risk heading into the high arches now, she still can weave her way through even the most knotted of trees, a characteristic shared by the sole daughter in the family.
Rolphe's brother, Trandon, is currently 19 years old, just out of reach of the reapings, and is built more similar to his father than Rolphe. While they are both muscular, Trandon has a thicker and sturdier frame that gives him a slight advantage over Rolphe in general. Rolphe's sister, Fae, is only 11 years old, also untouchable by the reapings, for now. She follows her mother and is a petite but ambitious girl. Being one of the youngest in District 11's working force, Fae frequents the very tops of the orchard trees.
As a child, Rolphe was actually a very happy, if blissfully ignorant, boy. He played with his brother and sister, and others frequently. It wasn't until he was actually 12 did realization strike. His life sucked. The anything-but-benevolent Capitol finally appeared as it truly was to him. His father was punished the day he couldn't work any longer, even though he had worked long and hard while he could. That was the day Rolphe shut himself down. He continued appeasing the Peacekeepers, but he was barely even a shadow of the ball of energy he once had been.
