HISTORY
Phoenix Griffin was born and raised in district 4, the district of fishing. So from a young age he was taught how to fish and swim, and yet, Phoenix hated it. He hated fishing and he really hated water. His parents would push him terribly hard to succeed, especially in aquatics. It got to the point his father pushed him into deep water, trying to force him to be able to swim. He nearly drowned. If it weren't for his mother finding out that his father had taken him out and following them, diving in after him. He had been under the water for awhile at that point and really did almost die, even though his mother saved him. He was in a coma for several months afterwards, during which time his mother would visit him everyday, along with his father. Ribbon never apologized for it.
After waking up, his parents were extremely happy. His father pushed him to continue his training. So, Phoenix would practice for a couple of hours a day on training. It started with a bow, as it would not tax him physically, and then as he recovered, his training regime increased. Three years later, when he turned eleven, he was faced with the water again. Absolutely terrified, he turned away and continued his physical training, specializing in his bow, close and far away, as well as hand to hand combat. He sculpted his body, determination to make his mother proud of him, not caring too much about his father, feeling betrayed by the man trying to kill him when he was eight year old.
It took him years to get as strong as he is, including going to several trainers, spying in on some training sessions and taking notes. His strength combined with his great mastery over the bow and arrow make his arrows fast and strong. He's broken many a bow string as he trained, especially after ten month focus on strength. While he avoids water as much as he can, living in district four makes it almost impossible. He's forced himself to learn how to swim, but he isn't very goo at it.
