Tammy also likes to use Hand-to-Hand combat, she is pretty tough and strong and she is albe to fight with a large amount of power. Finally, Tammy would use a mace (one with spikes) because it requires a good amount of power and she thinks it is quite effective.

Personality- Tammy is a determined and powerful girl, she has a large heart and she is often open and warm. Tammy is quite tough, she is strong willed and she is not afriad of anyone, if she needs to fight she will fight, she is not afraid of many things, she is very brave, especially when it comes to friends. Tammy is the mother of the group, she will take care of everyone she is is the opposite of a person who would betray the group, though, if someone does something that may harm anyone in the group, even if it is a team member, she will go nuts. Tammy likes to talk, you will realise that by being around her for a few minutes, she comments on anything she sees and she can't keep her mouth shut, asking others personal questions is nothing new to her, it just comes out. Tammy is a curious girl, she always wants to find out more, she is always up for an 'adventure', she is like fire, she will never rest, she seems to always carry on, it is like she has something wlling her not to give up, even if everything looks terrible. Tammy will react to death in many differant ways, if it is a close friend, she may start to become vengeful, she will become a bit more angry and obsessed with getting the killer, this is the part when her allies will be put at risk. Tammy can kill those who she considers careers, she hates the thought of people wanting to do this, to kill her and her friends, Tammy wants them all to die, it is a biy of a vendetta from her past life. Tammy is very determined, she would never think of giving up, she usually puts others before herself but sometimes she will make decisions for the group, she does sometimes feel something wil go wrong and she will be very intent on getting away from it, Tammy may start to lose her atmosphere of kindness and determination and become alot more scared, this is also when she becomes reckless. Tammy usually has a positive outlook on life, she tries to see the best of it, even if she is in the games, she is always encouraging everyone, she may be harsh on people but she knows she is helping them survive, she only does what is best for the team, that is why she may get afraid of something that does not feel right. Tammy is usually full of energy, she likes to run around and she feels wierd just sitting, knowing they could be doing something to save their lives, she she is a very active girl, she also believes in being fit, and she can be runnig around camp. Tammy has had a haunting past, she tries to forget it, but if someone askes her about her past she will say some werd excuse, she may even have a tear running down her face, you may wake up to screaming, these are one of Tammy's many nightmares, she may also panic when she wakes up. Tammy is not stupid, although, she is not the smartest girl in the world, she usually relies on common sense, but, most of the time it failes her and she becomes very impulsive, Tammy is known for jumping into situatons without a second thought or care in the world, it is partly becuase she thinks thinking about the current situation will make you more reluctant and more afraid, and that is why Tammy is not an afriad or reluctant girl, she does not think about what she does, she just does it, she is almost fearless and very reckless. Tammy will look after friends like kids, that is why she will become angry when they die, mostly at the capitol and she will treat them like she is their mom, even if one of them is older than them, she will come up with a team name for them, she can be perky around friends, she is a team player, being alone is not an option for her, she will need to know there are others to help her, she wants to have another 'family', a replacement to the one she lost. Finally, Tammy is very, very hostile to people she does not know or trust, she will be the one who questiones them and she may even threat them, she is not mean, but protective of the one she cares about. Tammy is very comfortable to be around, she usually makes dark situations light, she will be a valuable member of the alliance, she is a wild girl, or that is what people will think. Tammy is a natural leader and she will most likely take control of the alliance. Tammy is a country girl, she grew up on a ranch in district 14 and she loves to hunt, this is one time when Tammy will be really happy, she may seem happy all the time with her group, but you will realise that is fake when she is running around with a bow and arrow with a big smile on her face while laughing, overally Tammy is a kind girl who is confidant but she is very protective and tough when she wants to be, she considers herself a wild card and she is. Tammy hates the Capitol, making her a bit of a rebel.

Skills- Tammy is very tough, she can come across as intimidating by her apperancee and how she acts, she knows how to make people notice her and be weary of her. Tammy is alos very good at making friends, she is social and loveable and also you will know you can trust her when you get to know her. Tammy is very physically strong, she is able to fight with great strenght and she is very strong, she has alot of muscle. Tammy also has great knowledge of mutts.

Weaknesses- Tammy has a great fear of losing friends, she will protect them even if it means putting her life at risk, it either has a positive or negative outcome. Tammy is very impulsive, she does not think, she just does it. Tammy is also very protctivee, this means she will fight for her friends/allies and she would protect them like she would protect herself, sometimes putting others in front of yourself may put you at great risk.

Reason for Winning- If Tammy is asked this, she may become a bit angry and sarcastic. Tammy would say "I did not choose to come in these, so why should i die in these? It would be so stupid" but Tammy has deeper reason to go home, one of them is family, she does have a older brother, the last member of her faimily and she can't stand the thought of him being alone, it would kill her. Tammy is also in great need of the money, she lives in a small ranch where they have lost everything, if she becomes victor she would be rather humble and she would be fixing the ranch and the district, she thinks that would be an amazing thing, the best thing that could ever happen to her. Tammy also knows district 14 goes in the games for glory, Tammy would not mind all the love and fame, to be loved by everyone as a savior and a hero, not just some pointless girl who works on a ranch, but a recognised girl who actually has a meaning in life, someone who is important, someone who people care about.

Fears- Tammy has nightmares, they are of death, death of the ones she loved. Tammy is afraid of people who she is friends with or who she loves to die, her attachments are too close to them, seeing them dead would be a living nightmare, to her it is unfair she may have nightmares of her allies all dying or a vision of her family, the hunger games is already a way to kill all her friends and she does not want to. Tammy will become over-protective of her allies, she will be like their angel, their gaurdian, but, she still fears that they will all die, and she is afraid that it may come down to her and her friends and she would have to kill them, she knows in the end everyones luck runs out and she knows she has to come home, but how could she survive killing her friends? this is always in her mind,but, Tammy always askes herself "How can I kill these people?".

Token- Tammy has a small photo of her once large family, but it is a haunting photo, all the decesed member have a red cross over their face and her only surviving member, her brother has a small yellow circle drawn around his head, this is a message to know she has lost everything but her brother is why she is coming home and it will make her more determined to get home to him, the only real family she has left.

Alliance- Tammy will take the lead of the anti-careers, she will see all the other members as her responsibilty and she will also see them as her family, she will become protective and mother like to them, she would kill anyone in the alliance who would want to hurt the others, she wants everyone to be a team, she knows they work better together and they will survive longer working together, she is a natural leader and anyone who wants to hurt her 'family' in her alliance will have to die, she will not let them get hurt and she will take every death very sadly and she will become vengeful and angry at what the capitol have done to her friends.

Apperancee
Tammy has long curly dark brown hair and it is usually messy, Tammy also has golden eyes and tanned skin. Her face is dotted with freckles and she is very tall at 6,3, Tammy is also very stocky and looks athletic and intimidating, she will come across as powerful and strong and she is quite good looking, depending on who you are and she is average weight, she will use her intimidating apperance to threats to make them pre-avoid her and her friends and her apperance does make her a bit arrogant, knowing people will leave her and her friends alone or see them as a threat.

Backstory
I was born in a large ranch in district 14, don't get me wrong, district 14 was a large and wealthy district, but, someone needed to take care of the mutts, yes, mutts, we did not own a real farm where cows would wonder around, we hosted man eating mutts, it was a very risky job and i had 3 sisters and two brothers, we were all at great risk from the mutts, but, usually they did not bother us, the only ones who could escape were the goats mixed with kangaroos, what the capitol game makers were thinking when they made the scientists make that thing, i have no idea. I loved living on the ranch, it was hard work but i had a family, back then i didn't really care, i knew everyone had a family, but, i never knew it would all be destroyed. District 14 was a career district, there were traning centers in the urban areas but i never botherd with them, unlike most kids in my district i really had no need to go to train to kill others, i guess i didn't really want to, who would want to swing a sword through a dummies head thinking it was a kid, it was sick and twisted. My family hated th hunger games, they were kinda rebels, i mean, they would not blow up buildings and go on a rampage, they would hold up signs in protest, that was so lame, especially when i had to join in, it was killing me on the inside. In the career districts, arrogance is a key factor, i guess i have got a bit of it. So, when my family protested they would abuse us, i hated it, i didn't want to be like them but could we at least hate them in the shadows, and what happened that night, i wish we had. The careers came to the ranch at midnight, they wanted revenge at my 'weak' family so they let out mutts, they were so stupid, they did it to make a mess but they let out the most fatal mutt of all, locked in a large metal safe, we callled it, the shadow, it was so fast you could only see it's shadow coming for you, it was meant to be going into next years games, it looked like a massive snake and its fangs were full of toxic venom that would make you die in horrible pain, you did not want to be bitten by one of those. I woke up in my room, hearing the laughter of the kids and i saw the snake peak out of the cage as the kids ran away and it saw me and i saw it's shadow shoot away, at our house.

I was too scared to scream, i just ran under a floorboard in my room and closed my eyes, humming, my parents had told me to do this, for this exact event. I then heard gun shouts, shouting, screaming and crying, i still closed my eyes and everything went silent after what felt like hours, i came out my hiding place and what i saw almost gave me a heart attack, i saw the long snake with a kinfe in its head and i saw the bodies of my whole family, torn apart, they had been torn apart from me and by the snake, i screamed, and then my eldest brother, Jakson came running out of the floorboard in his room, holding a bloody knife, i grabbed him and hugged him, i was glad i had someone left who i loved, we both cried over the bodies of my family, maybe it was my punishment, for not warning them, for looking out for myself, i then swore to myself i would never let that happen, never again. I wanted to know who got my family killed, in the ranch we did have cameras, it was too important, we had to keep watch of the ranch. I then looked at it and i saw 3 male teens, always in the career academy, my brother said we should report them, but, me, in my deep fury of loss said we should kill them, what i saw had changed me. I went to the career academy and i saw them, laughing at what they had done. I had used a bow and arrow at the ranch, for defense against mutts and hunting, i was very good. I grabbed it off a rack and i aimed it at the three boys and i shot them on after the other, all in the necks, to driwn in their own blood. Trust me, i would never do this to an innocent person, but these monsters got my own family killed, anyone would want them dead, i am not a monster, or atleast, i hope i am not.

Everyone saw what i did, i ran away, laughing like a maniac, i am not insane, i was an avenger, my family had been avenged. But, i was afraid i had avanged them in cold blood, maybe avenging them would just mean keep living until you can't anymore, but, deep down i felt good, knowing the ones who killed my family were rotting in hell. I now lived alone on the ranch with my brother, we tried to keep care of the mutts, but they did kill my family, so we released them, into the city, in District 14 mutt attacks and purges on the city are nor rare, usually once a year and in the one we made there were no deaths, i just could not live on the farm with the mutts, there were too many memories, but, when the mutts left so did the money we were sent by the scientists. Then, food started to run out and we were forced to steal, and stealing was not much fun, i had got beaten on atleast 5 occasions, i managed to pull through, knowing if i wanted to survive i would have to put myself at risk or i could just choose to die, and i was never going to let that happen, not in a million years, i could be beaten and whipped but i was not going to give up, me and my brother would not die when we are young.

I then realised the hunger games were coming up, i used to have a friend, Monique, but she got reaped and was killed in the bloodbath, it was 6 years ago, back when i was a average girl, did not from the strong connections back then, now i feel horrible, i hate the hunger games, they killed my friend and little did i know in a week i would have to participate in them, when everything started to work out, or at least there were no accidents on the ranch, which my brother now converted into a farm, i do train for the games, i know if i get reaped i have to come home, i have to. I train with a bow and arrow and i always go hunting, it is great fun. I know i can't let my brother be alone in this world, if i was alone i would die, i could never be the last one left, in our case the last Mason left. I know the games make people insane, i know people kill their own friends in order to come back home, but i am not scared, positivity is a great way to survive and also i need a motive, to come home to my family and to avenge my long lost friend. I can't die

Song


I chose Katy Perry- Part of me, becuase, in her past Tammy had everything stolen from her, she lost everything. But, Tammy rose up from the ashes and became stronger, getting revenge on the ones who destroyed her family. Tammy is now tough and strong and the point of the song is everything that has gone wrong has now become perfect, she has become stronger than ever before and she is stronger than the ones who took everything from her, the song is also about perseverance, a large part of Tammy's personality. It took me a while to choose a song for Tammy, it was someone who lost everything and her personality changed to become something protective and tough, that is what happens to the girl in this song. I love the song, hope you like.
