Nicola Tenson

District: 5

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance: Nicola blends in with the majority of District 5 with mousy brown locks and hazelnut eyes that will stare into your soul. Her body figure is average weight with a little set of muscles.

Strengths: Nicola is a sadistic sixteen year old who enjoys viewing brutal deaths and pain in others. Similar to Titus the cannibal she is considered to be off the rails and does not have a sane mindset. A strength from this is that she wouldn’t get emotionally attached to other tributes and wouldn’t mind doing what has to be done. Nicola hasn’t been officially trained but finds that she can do well with a spear. Nicola is also manipulative and has high charisma that could be good for winning over sponsors.

Weaknesses: Nicola is crippled in the arm due to an accident in the power plant and although she is ambidextrous she is severely limited in hand to hand combat. Nicola is also quite dependent on limitless food and water from home as she is the Mayors daughter. Nicola also has a large phobia of fire and explosives thanks to the accident that crippled her arm.

Alliances: Nicola would be open to having any alliances especially with the careers but she has never really cared for sentimental or emotional value so no matter what happens (if they say they love her, if they sacrifice a body part for her) she will not be deterred from her number one mission. To kill and to win.

Fears: Pyrophobia (the fear of fire.)

Backstory: Nicola has a rather morbid craving of death, pain and hurt and enjoys killing people for fun. She would fit into the Capitol quite well because she sees nothing wrong of killing kids for a sport. At fourteen a Peacekeeper noticed her morbid nature and saw her as a threat to soceity and tried to explode the small working space she was in but he accidentally exploded the entire building and caused a massive power outage. Nicola was in this accident but didn’t die as he hoped all she did was have her arm crippled. In punishment for the outage across Panem, the Capitol forced the district 5 children to be some of the most vulnerable and innocent children and they let the district watch them get torn to pieces. Later that week, Nicola stabbed the peacekeeper seventeen times and let his body rot in the square. Suspicions surfaced of Nicola being the culprit but with no actual proof they just had to wait. When she was fifteen and had killed twelve citizens who wronged her she was eventually arrested and sentenced to torture and execution. The Mayor pulled all strings to let her live and the deal was made to have her participate in the 89th games.

The 89th Games: In this games the arena was a large desert plain with nothing but cacti and miles and miles of sand. Many tributes saw the arena and bolted to the cornucopia including Nicola. Nicola stabbed four people at cornucopia, collected a large backpack, a few bottles of water, a loaf of bread and a couple of spears. Thirteen people died at cornucopia and the careers decided to recruit Nicola thanks to her skills. Soon Nicola noticed a piece of paper ant Cornucopia reading a riddle. Eventually she solved it and realised that there was an underground system to this desert. She planned to leave the careeers after killing the majority of them and going underground to increase her chances. She succeeded in her plans and when there were eight remaining she stabbed the four careers while they were asleep and went underground. There she saw good food and water and her district partner Issac. They formed a small bond and the Capitol began to root for them particularly for Nicola. When Issac noticed that they were favouring her, he drugged her and stabbed her in the stomach. Nicola was killed and the Capitol hated Issac for it. The game makers caused a massive flood to try and kill him off but it didn’t work and Issac and the girl from three were left to battle it out. The girl crippled him and did all she could but Issac murdered her and became the victor.

Bloodbath strategy: Nicola would run to the mouth of Cornucopia and grab some spears and stuff needed to survive. She will pick off as many tributes as she can and will join the careers in their hunt.

Games strategy: To ally with the careers and anyone who proves themselves worthy. Nicola also wants to have fun killing children and will take enjoyment in looking at their rotting bodies.
