Basic Info
Harmony Abbot

District 8

Age: 16

Weapon: Harmony is from district 8, not really a district known for its weapon knowledge. Harmony has never really seen any weapons so using a sword or bow and arrow. Harmony could use hand-to-hand combat quite well because of her height and structure, and she has had a lot of time to develop it. Harmony also has a knowledge of using needles, working worth them for years, Harmony can use them with speed and agility and it has a surprising effectiveness that people would not expect, Harmony likes using them because they do not always kill, she can escape from her rivals or kill if she wants or needs to. Harmony has also used a knife before

Personality: Harmony is an artistic and creative girl, someone you would say always has her head in the clouds. Harmony is not really clueless, she is a lot smarter than others would expect, and rather elusive. Harmony is quite shy, though she does have a determined sole and she will not let her quiet side get in the way of what she believes in, if someone does something to hurt Harmony or her friends she can become quite fiery and show a side no one would ever expect from her, one thing about Harmony is that if you underestimate her you are making a mistake, Harmony may seem weak but she is really strong. Harmony is not really a realist, she tries to see the bright side of everything, she is often happy and she just thinks live life to the fullest and you will have no regrets, even in sad situations Harmony would never cry, just continue with a brave face, Harmony has quite a lot of courage. Harmony is a bit of a dark horse, you do not know what to expect from her and she does surprise people a lot. Harmony may be a bit shy and she can be a bit weary of other people but she but she is head-strong and tough, she is always determined to help and you will realize she never stays in the background, if someone wants to hurt her Harmony will show no fear, she does not let others see her cry. Harmony also does not want to hurt anyone, Harmony is afraid of killing, becoming what the Capitol wants her to become, Harmony does not like being controlled and she is not afraid to voice out her opinion. Harmony likes to live like tomorrow dosen't exist. Harmony is also a dreamer, she would tell others of impossible things and she does not care what she says, she would say she dreams of the world without the Capitol, she is not afraid of them but she is afraid of what they can make her do, she wants everyone to just live a life where everyone is at the same level and she just does not want everyone killing each other, she wants peace. Harmony would only aim to hurt anyone who is targeting her, in the end of the day everyone is human and no one should die, and she does not want to be forced to kill anyone, she would kill if she is sure she is going to die. She will not let anyone or anything change that.

Skills: Harmony is very smart, knowing things that could help her and her allies out in the arena. Harmony may be seen as a weak girl but when you really see her true skill and personality people will realize they have underestimated her, you could comment on her being the dark horse of the games. Harmony is also a great fighter, Harmony would never hurt anyone but she would use her strength to her own defense. Harmony is also a very talented athlete.

Weaknesses: Harmony is going to be viewed as no competition and if someone does challenge her she can make stupid decisions. Harmony is against killing others if she was faced with it she would only injure them, she can't bring herself to end a life if she has the choice between someone living or dying. Harmony is also a bit defiant, she will not let anyone make her do something that she does not want to do and she always stands by her word.

Fears: Harmony is afraid of losing who she is, in the games she has watched girls her age, who usually spent their days at school suddenly stabbing a kid, Harmony know you can't forget taking a life, you may seem ok with it but it will always haunt you, Harmony knows in the games she may have to kill if she has no choice but she will try her best to avoid it. Harmony does not want to become what the capitol want her to become, she is her own person and she will let everyone see that, Harmony would injure her rivals if she has the change but she would never kill anyone if she had to choice to decide if they live or die, the choices are kill and run and not be Harmony Abbot anymore or injure and run and still be Harmony Abbot, she would always pick the last one.

Reasons For Winning: Harmony never chose to go in the hunger games, Harmony is against them. Harmony has never really done anything to deserve death, she has lived a good life. Harmony would also show Panem hat you don't have to be a ruthless killer to win and she wants to be a bit more free, her high status will release her from the chains the Capitol hold on her for being a normal citizen, Harmony just wants to be able to live life without fear.

Training

Token: The only thing of worth Harmony owns, a small necklace with a star made of pure gold, it has been passed down generations from her family and her cousin was wearing it in her games when she died and Harmony will wear it to show they may kill her but she will always still live in Harmony's heart, where the necklace is always placed. It is very important to Harmony.

Alliance: Harmony would aim to join a private but powerful alliance, one that will be overlooked by the other tributes.

Creator Note: Harmony was a very interesting tribute to make, i wanted to make a tribute that would evolve as a charachter, she starts to become a bit more tough as her life is taken away from her and she understands she is not weak, she is strong. Harmony also has had a tragic past (like many of my tributes) and the reason i make this is because i want to write about how they can move in from it and Harmony takes a very different path than my other tributes, who usually turn out tramuatized and insane. I wanted to make Harmony a sad girl living a lavish lifestyle who then grows and becomes stronger while she has everything taken from her and now she is not shielded from the harsh world but has managed to become strong. She is one of my best tributes.

Looks
Harmony has sandy short blonde hair that is silky and soft, she has beautiful dark and pure golden eyes and quite a tanned complexion. Harmony is considerd quite beautiful but she has a slim and fragile looking face but her eyes are full of strength and mystery. Harmony is quite tall at 6,1 and has a slender frame but she is stronger than she looks.

Backstory
I was born in a rich part of the district, my father had invented a very popular brand of capitol coturee and spent much of his time in the Capitol as a stylist. My mum managed a factory and i lived with my sister, Allia and my cousin, Maia, who was 15 at the time when i was 5, her parents had been killed by peacekeepers. I was great friends with Maia though it did not last forever, i was too young to understand that the Capitol would take everything away from you that made you feel happy and they did that to me, they stole Maia from me. I was five when my parents took me to the reaping, i did not really understand them but i knew they were bad. I saw Maia get called up to the stage and my family burst into tears, though Maia did not cry, she had a brave face. I saw another boy walk up to the stage and i was taken to see her for the last time. The only thing she told me was to "never let them see you cry" and she was taken away.

I watched her go through a lavish time, money, beautiful clothes and interiewss, little did i know this was leading up to a true horror. I saw Maia in an arena and there was a bang and in a few seconds the tributes were killing each other, i screamed as i saw a girl get stabbed, blood was everywhere and lives were lost, i saw Maia grabbing things as fast as she could and she even got a knife and stabbed a boy who came at her with an axe, i was breathing deeply as i saw her run away into the forest and leaving the blood and death behind her, what had the Capitol made her do? That was not the Maia who so sadly left me. I watched as days in the games passed by and she lived, until the last 10 tributes were alive, she was confronted by an insane boy, he looked savage and there was a fight, he got the upper hand and ducked her knife and speared her in the stomach and ran away, i looked as i saw the life leave her and a cannon went off, and the cameras came to the screaming and diabolic monsters who caused her that fate. I was screaming, but in sadness and trying to run away, run to the Capitol so i could get revenge, though i just cried and cried, remembering her face and how she was so kind. A week later a coffin arrived at our house, it has her body that looked like it had not been stuck in the wild and speared in the stomach, and her small star made of gold hung from her neck and before we closed the coffin to be buried in our garden i took it off her and held it tight.

I grew up as a weird girl, seeing the hunger games at such a young age had really made me quite a closed girl, i never really fully trusted anyone and aimed to hang around in the shadows. I knew having a part of Maia made me feel happy, made me feel strong. I watched as games passed and as i saw others die, i felt stronger, that was a bit weird and twisted but it was true. I knew not everyone in the world was bad but my trust had decreased. I saw Allia manage to get over it, i decided i needed to move on from Maia's death, i would put that horrible past behind me, what i did not know was that Allia never got over her death and blamed us for not doing anything. My family became divided, Allia was blaming my dad because he was her stylist and was not helping Maia, my mother screamed at her and it was like war, i just waited in my room, blocking out the screaming, smiling that it would soon be over. I was not weak and i would not let them see me cry and i would be strong, they will feel my tears as they dry. I just waited and smiled as the screaming stopped. I stood up and walked towards the silence, a small smile at my meek act of defiance.

I walked into the room, a smile on my face until i saw her, my mom was on the floor and a knife was in her neck, i backed away in shock and fear, the screams were not fighting, they were screams of terror. I knew my mum had been partly depressed since Maia died so i was glad that she did not die fully in sorrow, a small smile was etched on her face. I walked down the corridor and i saw blood, it was my dad and Allia was crying, i knew it was her, and i knew that she would know how i felt, i would not cry but i would be strong, my shy and positive side was gone and i screamed at her

"why did you do what you did, you monster!"

"Harmony, i was not thinking, i regret it, don't get mad please, i didn't mean it"

"Why, why Allia? We have lost so much and now we have become monsters, you can't hide from the past and this will haunt you. I'm not like you, i respect Maia and she would want you dead." I grabbed a bloody knife and pointed it at her, knowing i could never really bring myself to kill another human and let the knife shake in my hand. I threw the knife away and smiled "you know what, screw it. I'm not going to kill you. You can live with this forever, remember, you have to live with this and without me". I walked away, smiling as she just stood there, i should have killed her but that's what the Capitol would have wanted me to do. I walked away, my parents had died and i had become a new person. I know the old me would probably be dead, commit suicide, i just need to push the pain down and i'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist, and in this world we can never know when it is going to end.

I found a small abandoned house, previously owned by a poor couple killed for stealing bread. I did not care i lost my lavish lifestyle, i never really needed it. I was happy where i was, no more pain and no more sadness, finally, for once in my life i felt safe, though i was never really safe from the capitol i was still happy, I lived there until i saw someone in my house after coming back from the market, she was in rags and looked insane and was wrecking everything. I shouted at her and pulled out a dagger i always carried. The girl turned, and i saw the ravaged face of Allia and she laughed, "I bet you thought you saw the last of me, thought i would curl up and die. I will never leave, i am always here" and she let out a manic laugh "you are evil for not killing me, i wish i was dead, you know you want to kill me, you do, yes, they told me you would, but you're too weak" and she giggled, lost in her world of confusion and talking about god knows what. I felt sorry for my once innocent sister. She looked at me and her eyes widened like this was the first time she had ever seen me and she charged, i was tackled to the ground, she grabbed my hair and bashed my head on the ground. I was holding the dagger and i screamed at her to not make me do this but she just screamed fir me to kill her, to end her pain. I overpowered her and she fell to the ground, he thin and sad face looked at me and a tear rolled down her shallow cheeks and i saw a glimpse of sanity in her blue eyes and she whispered "please, kill me" and i pulled my kill out and closed her eyes, implying it in her head. I buried her body in the garden the next day, and i broke. I fell to the ground and cried, the dagger placed to my stomach but i threw it away, bashing my fists against the floor screaming at nothing. The days after that were torture.

I was awoken one day by a group of peacekeepers, they said they found me kill Allia. I was engulfed in rage, never before had i felt such fury at these men, insinuating i killed my sister in cold blood. I spoke, my face calm, hiding my true rage "You have taken everything from me, my whole family. I don't want you to call me a killer, because the only killers in this room are you". I smiled at them, i really was not afraid of them. The leader of the pecekeepers raised a stun gun and as he shot me i quirky pushed all my body weight to the floor, the electrical making the peacekeeper behind me convulse with pain. I quickly pulled out my leg towards the second peacekeeper and knocked him over. I then saw the head peacekeeper raise his boot and he brought it down on my face.

I woke up in a cell, i the same man who knocked me out, Leon Norik. The peacekeeper told me i had committed high act of treason against the Capitol and i would await execution after the reapings. I knew what he was trying to make me do, he wanted me to volunteer. I looked at him, finally, i had met someone with a brain. The peacekeeper told me I was a good fighter and i need to be smart about my decision. I was taken to the reapings the next week and i looked at the stage and at the guards waiting for me, ready to drag me to my death, but maybe there was hope. I looked to the stage and i screamed i volunteer, i was shaking with fear as i walked to the stage but i kept a strong face, and i kept thinking the words Maia told me "don't let them see you cry" and i followed her words. I was visited by Leon, he was the only person to tell me goodbye. I looked at him "why are you hear"

"I knew you were strong, and i changed the date of your execution to protect you"

"why me"

"I like you kid, and make me proud, when you get home i'll take you under wing. I want you to know, i may have saved your life"

"or, you may have just made it a lot worse".

Song


Song: Chandelier

Artist: Sia

Reasons for song: This song represents the troubled past of a girl, who didn't really have good parents and grew up mostly alone and she has to deal with it. Harmony lost her parents at a young age but Sia sings about suicide but then living like tomorrow dosen't exist, i like this qoute becuase it shows though she has lost everything she knows life could end and this shows Harmony has had a hard life but she knows it could all end, she does not live under a shield and she needs to live becuase everything could end. I also used the quote "feel my tears as they dry" becuase i made Harmony to start off as a damaged girl living in a lavish lifestyle for it all to become worse and she becomes strong and the tears she used to have are reversing, also giving me the quote that represents Harmony "never let them see you cry", the story of both the song and her backstory have similar plots but the line this song is most known for "I'm gonna swing rorm a chandelier" shows that she wants her life to end but she keeps on living and does not want to die and has a strong determination, like Harmony, when writing her backstory i did not mean for it to be like the song but it turned out like that.
