Bloodbath/Games Strategy: Get food and supplies from the Cornucopia, and then work from there.

Fears: Despite everyone thinking Kipp has 'social anxiety', he was not afraid of people around him, instead he feared failure and embarrassment, which led to him being shy and bashful.

Alliance: None, Kipp was alone for the duration of the Games.

Early Life
Kipp was born in early spring 13 years prior to the games. He was known as the quiet kid of the District, barely speaking to those he didn't know and only attending school every few days. Some diagnosed him with social anxiety and because of that, he was an outcast of the kids in the District. He did manage to make more friends as he grew a little older, even then he was hesitant to talk to them. In saying this, he was never rude or snobby towards any of them, even though he seemed to always wear a smug look on his face.

He was the youngest of 4 children- all boys- and never liked participating in the activities that the others did. His mother always thought of him as unique when he was born with a distinct purple/blue eye color that no-one else in the family had ever had the genes for. Because of this, Kipp's father was led to believe that his mother had been cheating on him and left the family for another woman. Without the father figure in his life, Kipp was also a little off balance in the male characteristics; he rathered stay home and help with the laundry rather than run outside and dart around the power towers like his brothers.

Reaping
At the Reaping, Kipp stood next to his school friend Allister, and had no intention of being picked from the pool of boys. When his name was called, he didn't believe it at first. He remained planted in his place and refused to move. It took two Peacekeepers to come and retrieve him and drag him to the stage for him to finally cooperate. At the farewells in the Justice Building, Kipp refused to speak to any of his family. He sat in one of the cushioned sofa's and listened to them pour their hearts out without a single reply.
