**JJ Maybank**, a wild card from District 4, grew up on the docks with calloused hands and a chip on his shoulder. Abused at home and overlooked by his district, he learned early that survival isn't about strength—it's about grit. He masks pain with humor, chaos, and fierce loyalty to the few he trusts. The Games don’t scare him—he’s lived through worse. In the arena, JJ’s not just fighting tributes; he’s fighting every demon that ever told him he wouldn’t make it out alive.
