Sebastian Nichols

Sebastian is eighteen years old and from District 12. His father died when he was fourteen. His mother is very ill and stays in bed all the time, leaving Seb to take over the family business -- the shoe store, which is a lot more successful than was expected, as boots are a must in the mines. He's been looking after his mother and his five younger siblings for four years now.

Background
Sebastian has lived his whole life in District 12. Not many people escape from that hole of a district, if you really think about it. Luckily for him, he doesn't have to work in the coal mines unless the family business goes under. Seb's father died when Seb was fourteen, and with his mother ill and in bed all the time, he had to take over the family's shoe store in District Square to keep his family on their feet. He's been running the business for four years now. All the money has gone towards keeping Seb, his sick mother, and his five younger siblings -- Zara, Jacen, Lianne, Bree, and Isaac.

The shoe store is actually more successful than the Nichols expected it to be; boots are a must down in the mines, and there's coal dust everywhere in District 12. Bare feet, socks or holey shoes are practically unheard of, even in the poorest district.

Personality
Seb cares very much for his mother and his younger siblings. He's smart and thinks well in advance; consequences are never unexpected with him. Sebastian is trustworthy and eager to please. His people-judging skills are near-perfect -- if he gets a bad vibe from someone, he'll steer clear of them. When determined to do something, he can be fearless, which is sometimes good (as in, when he becomes optimistic) and sometimes bad (as in, when his intelligence fades a little and he dives into something headfirst that he can't handle).
