"Life is a game of heads or tails. You either win or you lose"- Briar Destry

Information
Briar Destry

District 3

Age: 15

Weapon: Briar has trained before during her short time in the Capitol, she has lost most memory of her skill but is good with an axe, especially a throwing axe, which she prefers as she likes to stay out of close combat and it gives her good range. She is small and very swift, which gives her easy usage of the knife, a simple weapon to learn how to use.

Personality: Briar is an intelligent and witty girl, she is very knowledgeable and she is above the District 3 standard. She is very wary of others and is usually hostile around others, you have to earn her trust. Briar is usually cold towards people, but this is only because she is afraid to reach out towards others and form connections, as she is knows they will have to die if she wants to escape the arena, however, secretly she cares for people and she will protect them if she has to, she holds honour very high. She is afraid to show her true emotions, and is often trying to push people away, and trying to reject happiness as she believes when she will just have it taken away from her. Briar is a determined girl and she is mentally strong, she will stay strong for others when they need her, she hides it but she is a kind girl but she is afraid of being viewed as weak, so she built a wall around her true self, even to the point where she does not even smile, she is slightly insecure. Briar is not afraid to kill, as she feels she doesnot need to hold a reputation of innocence to anyone and claims she has nothing else to lose.

Strengths: The first thing people notice about Briar is her natural intelligence, she is smart and uses it to her advantage. She does have weaponary knowledge, as she did grow up in the Capitol and was trained for a short period of time, some skills she does remember. Briar is also very fast, giving her a bit of an advantage.

Weaknesses: Briar is very physically weak, and she is not good in close range. She also comes from an urban District, so she has little knowledge of how to survive in rural environments. The connection to rural environments means she has no swimming skill or climbing skill like tributes from certain Districts may possess.

Fears: Thanatophobia (fear of death) This is her own death and the death of those she cares about..

Alliance: Small group of tributes

Token: A crescent moon made of gold, from the Capitol.

Appearance: Briair has round eyes, that are a stormy grey. She has chocolate brown hair, falling in thick strands just below her shoulder, she does have a streak of crimson in it, something her father made her do when she was very young in the Capitol, she hates it but she did not cut it off as it reminds her of how she is away from there, others just view it as her trying to be more beautiful. She has tanned skin and is slim and has a small body frame, giving the impression she is just another weak girl. She is average height at 5,6. She is usually described as normal, other than the red streak.

History:

Briar was born in the Capitol, the daughter of a wealthy man, Lenox Destry, who gained wealth off bets from the Hunger Games. Her mother was an avox, a beautiful young girl who served Lenox and caught his eye. Her father was a huge supporter of the Hunger Games, as they were his source of wealth, he had Briar trained. He would tell her someday, he would be betting on her. She never knew the true identity of her mother, just thinking it was one of her fathers numerous girlfriends. She did not enjoy the Capitol lifestyle, she lived the perfect life, was treated well and had nothing to fear, if she was ever reaped some fool would volunteer in her place. Briar felt alienated in the huge city, she didn't enjoy its wildness.

She was 9 when she met Rubin, the child of slavery. He was mute, and to Briar's horror his toung has been cut out and he was an orphaned slave to the president himself, his only crime was being born. Briar instantly felt pity for him, and he wrote down that he was planning to escape, and as soon as Briar saw a chance to escape from the Capitol she decided to go with him. His plan was to use the train that brought things in and out of the Districts to escape. The station was heavily gaurded, but Briar, being a citizen of the Capitol was able to get in with ease, and with a few modifications to Rubin she got hom in. The train meant to move to District 3 was about to leave and when no one was paying them any attention she jumped on the train.

The days passed and suddenly the train came to an abrupt stop. Briar, who was smart decided to hide behind some crates but Rubin, despite her calling out to him looked outside. That second was pure chaos and horror. Suddenly, the sounds of bullets riddled the air and blood esploded out of numerous holes in his frail body and a hovercraft came into view. Then, peacekeepers using ropes came into the car. Briar had to hold her hand over her mouth to prevent screaming. She watched through a small crack as the peacekeepers kicked Rubin's body over the side of the car and into the large river below. TBA
