Backstory
Despite living in one of the poorest districts, Erron was fortunate enough to be born into a middle-class family. They were the envy of most families because they were renowned for their expertise in growing the perfect crops. Because of this they got higher pay than any of their colleagues.

Erron was expected to carry on the knowledge of the perfect crop to his children if he were to have any. At first he was interested in it because of how beautiful the crop always appeared. As a test his parents smuggled some tomato seeds back home for him to test. He would follow his parents’ instructions carefully and precisely, having been told that accuracy was the key between an ok crop and a brilliant crop. Despite following the instructions, however, the tomatoes didn’t quite hit that perfection his parents wanted. They didn’t worry though: They knew Erron needed practice before his produce would be just like theirs. In spite of the practice, Erron’s crops were never perfect. At this point his parents showed concern: It was supposed to be in their blood to make the best fruit and vegetables in the farm. What made it worse was that Erron was losing interest in agriculture as a whole, and as a result he would often walk around with his friends doing practically nothing.

Erron, in the meantime, was considering whether or not he deserved to be born into his family or not. He knew that his parents were disappointed in his ability to successfully produce crops at an ‘ok’ degree and nothing more. Sometimes he even wondered if they were going to throw him out or not. Feeling frustrated, he would just sit on his bed and think about random events he knew of.

Originally, Erron considered trying to grow more crops in order to curb his everyday boredom. However his friends introduced him to a trap-maker, who would try to catch pesky rats and mice around the district with his traps. They all worked for him by creating some of the traps and delivering them to the customer’s houses. Erron found himself loving the job instantly. He took on both roles and ended up with a good pay, worth a little more than if it was one of his parents doing their usual job.

When they found out about this, Erron’s average crops didn’t matter because he was still helping them fight into a better life, and through something he could do well and enjoy at the same time. The only problem was that some of the pieces for the traps had to be kept at home, including poison. Once, his mother accidentally added some to a meal she was cooking and left them sick. Although Erron and his father were only left with convulsions, his mother ended up with breathing difficulties. Since then, he has learnt to stay well clear of poisons.

Other than the mistake made, nothing too major occurred in Erron’s life. Well, that was until he was reaped for the games.
