Stats


Name: Birch Fullace

Age: 15

District: 7

Reaping: Reaped

The Games
Many were quickly interested after Birch's reaping, and she was even dubbed a "Dark Horse" by some. She was known to be extremely good with an axe, but she seemed scared of other people, including even her mentor and District partner, Charcoal. Birch's fear seemed to make her unable to train with the other tributes, and she spent most of her time hidden in the quieter stations during trainings

Despite her training difficulty, Birch still scored a 6. As a first in over half a decade, a tape of Birch's assessment was revealed, after she stated she would "Slice her own throat" if the game-makers didn't leave the room. It was known that this caused lots of controversy, with some Game-makers wanting to give Birch a 0, however, Game-Maker Kahn decided to give Birch a chance, making her game-makers leave the room for the training assessment. Birch's final score of 6 was calculated by what was on the tape, but points were also deducted due to her refusal to be assessed by the game-makers live

The Interview
Like the other 23 tributes, Birch was supposed to be interviewed by Rose Flickerman the night before the games, however, an incident similar to the training one occurred, with Birch refusing to go onto stage. This resulted in a battle with Peacekeepers, where Birch managed to injure one, but was sedated by another. Instead of a formal interview, clips of Birch's reaping and assessment were shown

The Bloodbath
It was quickly noted that Birch appeared to be suffering from a "Panic attack" and hyperventilating. Nearby tributes seemed concerned, but also more focused on the cornucopia. As the gong sounded, Birch seemingly considered running into the cornucopia, however, she instead ran away into the desert arena without a single supply

Day 2
Birch soon found herself in the Arid North of the arena, a hostile and boiling place. Severely dehydrated, many were shocked at her resilience, with Birch spending the day trying to find any water she could drink. At exactly midday, a bottle of sponsored water fluttered down to Birch, which she gulped down immediately. It is believed that this bottle of water saved her life, especially as the unsponsored Charlotte (12), died of dehydration only hours later

Day 3
Exhausted, Birch finally managed to stumble into the Canyon West of the arena. This was the "Coolest" part of the arena, with temperatures there on Day 3 being the lowest in the arena for the entirety of the games. Birch then received another bottle of water, once again gulping it down. All of a sudden, Birch heard a cannon, spotting a hovercraft collecting a body disturbingly close to her. Birch suddenly started sprinting away from the hovercraft, however, only seconds later, the ground beneath her suddenly gave way, sending Birch into a small pit. Somewhat dazed, she still managed to climb out, now having another "Panic attack". At that moment, a "Rattling" sound was heard from behind Birch. She slowly turned her head, seeing a large Rattlesnake Mutt making it's way towards her. Birch started to run, but quickly realised she'd badly hurt her ankle. Through the excruciating pain, she hobbled forward further, however, more Rattlesnakes had found her, now beginning to close in around her...

A cannon sounded, however, viewers were unsure of who it belonged to, as the cameras were on a close battle between the careers and Joe (8). After Joe was killed, the cameras quickly cut back to Birch, who was being lifted from the arena by the death claw. In a post-games commentary, Lorna (10) was shown digging the very trap Birch fell into, crediting Lorna with Birch's death
