Tribute Form
Name: Reeva Olympia District: 14

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Personality: Reeva is a shy and kind girl, being caring and warm and she will be the first to help out a friend. Although Reeva is shy she is a bit of a rebel, independent and she likes to do what she is sure will lead her into a good situation. Reeva is very smart and unpredictable, as she likes to come up with crazy plans and is very creative and she will babble about the most insane things that in the end will all fit together. It's like she is ahead of everyone. Reeva is also a bit insane. She likes to laugh at random moments and is always saying some random thing at a random point and that attributes to her insane plans. She is still insane but brilliant all the while. Reeva's insanity means she can forget about things fast, change subject ,say very smart things like they are unimportant and she likes to laugh at random points. Reeva's insanity was caused because of her past. She was a nice and normal girl but she was tricked by her brother into doing crazy things and when she found out what she was doing, it changed her forever. Her sweet mind could not handle the horror and she was gone forever. Even though Reeva is insane she is not evil or a killer. Her insanity has taken her away from all of that because it is what made her insane. If Reeva is put in a stressful situation and everyone else is falling under pressure or fear she will usually be the one to stay clam and fix it, horrible things do not scare her anymore so if she sees a mutilated animal or human rotting she will feel sorry for them but the sight will not scare her. She sees it as a beautiful pattern as she loves the colour red. It kinda hypnotises her and makes her feel calm. If Reeva has the option to kill people she will do it in a horrible way but she will not torture them, she is not evil. She will kill them and she will make a pattern of the bodies as if it were a piece of art. It makes the fact she killed someone less horrible and like she is honouring them, though she would never admit that. When she starts 'carving' it will look horrible but when it is done it will actually look very beautiful. This is when people will start to see how Reeva is actually twisted and insane when she looks back at them with the body behind her with a twisted smile and continue life as normal. Killing does not scare Reeva because she has become strong: It does not hurt her anymore. Reeva is usually trustworthy but when she starts to forget who people are she will start to have visions. Instead of seeing normal human beings, she will see monsters and lose her cool. She will start to shout and accuse people of lying to, destroying her life and she will defend herself if anyone comes close. She may even kill them with fear. Reeva has her own personal monsters but she tries to hide them away, sometimes she may start to cry. By the mid-point of the games everyone will know something is wrong with Reeva and their trust levels will start to go down on her. It has happened before, soon they will know the level of her twisted mind.

Height: 6'2

Appearance: Reeva has golden eyes that seem to stare into your soul when you look at them. Reeva has short blonde hair. Reeva is quite good looking and she is average weight. When you look at her you will see in her golden eyes you can almost sense the insanity in them. Reeva usually has a warm glow of kindness around her because of her appearance and it is a sweet one. First impressions on her would be sweet but damaged. Because of Reeva's rather tall height she is noticeable and she also has striking features, especially her eyes, which open a window to her twisted sole of insanity.

Weapon(s): Curved sword and bow and arrow

Strengths: Reeva is very smart and thinks unlike anyone. She is creative and can make plans and ideas that could save the alliance without even knowing. Reeva is also insane, the perks of this is because she can see and do things and they will not affect her. She has seen things that could make people insane and all she would comment on is the smell. Reeva is also a very talented fighter and even though it made her insane, she has killed before and she can kill without a second thought if her or her friends are under threat.

Weaknesses: Reeva is insane and this causes her to forget about who she is with. This can also make them see them as threats and she may hurt her own alliance. Reeva can also do things no other person could do, she could mutilate a body in front of her friends and make it a beautiful pattern and act like it is normal. This could cause people to see her version of art and creativity as insanity and the fact she could hurt them, leading to mistrust. She is also very paranoid of people she does not know.

Fears: Reeva is not afraid of death. In fact, she is afraid of losing herself. She does not want to become the monster she was in her past but slowly she is losing her sanity. Reeva is afraid she will start to lose her memory of friends and family and see everyone as monsters. It sometimes happens and she turns a bit evil at times. Reeva is also afraid of some people. If she mistrusts them she will aim to get rid of them. Reeva will feel like she is going to die if something feels wrong to her.

Alliance- Reeva will most likely join the anti-careers in the games. Reeva may leave them in mid-games due to her real insanity, her twisted mind and they will realise this girl is innocent. But would they be able to trust her? With her random panic attacks, tendencies to forget people and see monsters instead and she will most likely kill a member of the alliance. Though not intentional, it's because she thinks she has to, she may have seen one of her monsters.

Token- Reeva has a small star necklace. It is made out of god and is very beautiful. The necklace was one her parents gave her when she was tricked into believing about a god made in a cult and it was the god of stars and moon. She apparently represents the star of it. The only reason she has it now is because of it's value, as it was a gift from her dead parents and she think stars are lucky. She has a small feeling she represents the stars, even though she tries to fight it off.

Reason for Winning: Reeva wants to go home. She did volunteer to escape her brother, but she just wants to be able to survive and get him executed for what he has done to her. Reeva also wants to prove that she can win to herself. She has been told she is a failure but if she can win that would feel amazing for her. She wants to be able to say she escaped death and defied death by staying alive the whole games. Reeva wants to come home and bring back food and money. She will try to give other people the necessities so they realise she is not a psychopath killer like she was. The most important reason is she does not want to die insane and lost. If she wins she will order Capitol therapy to cure her and she wants to win back life she had lost because of her insanity. She knows she is insane but she knows that with help she can cure it. Reeva also wants to come home powerful and then kill her evil twin brother who made her a killer.

Backstory
I was born in a forest in a ritual. Yes, I'm not sure this was a normal birth. I'm not sure anyone in Panem had a birth like mine. I don't remember it well. I am not one of those super smart girls, but i guess in some ways I am normal... hopefully. I found this out from a man I was introduced to many years later, who became an important part of my life. The reason my birth was a ritual was because my mother was having triplets. They were in a cult, the cult of the stars and moon and they also worshipped a god. I do not know the name but to them they were it's slaves. Sacrifices were made and people would die. The cult wanted to bring the god 'alive' with the holy trinity, the triplets, one male, one female and one sacrifice. I was born under a circle of trees, the full moon above us and the stars glittering. My brother, Kyle, the moon of trinity was born first and a necklace of a moon was placed around his neck. Then i came, the star of trinity and a star necklace was put around my neck. Then the final triplet came, another boy, and he was stabbed in the middle of the circle. He was the sacrifice and in the cult members twisted minds the gods spirit had possessed us. I was taken into a small hut with my brother and we grew up in the cult, a place of death and violence. I grew around it. Unlike my brother, I remained sane. Whilst I could look at the brutal sacrifices without a single gag, my brother was starting to lose his grip on sanity and he soon became like all those people in the cult: evil. I think they were all forced to see things like this when they were kids and in the end they lost everything. Everything that made them a member of society, what kept normal people from becoming animals. I would see some horrible things, all for the sake of the stars and the moon. I felt sad but i knew i was different to all of them. I knew I needed to escape.

I was then told to become the 'gods avatar', the representation of the stars and moon. We would have to be draped in sin, we were forced to kill at midnights hour and drink a cup of the victims blood. I was reluctant to do it but my brother tricked me. He told me they would torture me and him if we did not do it. I was given a crescent sword and I had to go on the hunt in the real District 14. I found a lone man in the district. Kyle hissed at me to do it. I looked at him, my eyes wild with fear but I ran up to him and slashed his throat in one clean sweep. I still don't know why I did it. I felt faint, like I was falling into a pit in slow motion. Kyle then grabbed a cup and put it under his throat, the blood pouring onto the cup and he did what I did to another man, but he stabbed his leg first and cut him and finally slit his throat. I watched in shock. I was not scared of the whole death thing and how a normal person would probably go insane by seeing that. We were not normal. We were both twisted but in so many different ways we would never be the same. I was afraid of how someone could do that to someone else. I then saw the body and I looked at the pain on it's face, what i had inflicted upon it. I started to carve lines on the skin and it became something beautiful. I guess insanity can also bring beauty to dark things, even if it is a body. As the blood started to leak out of the lines I smiled and felt calm. The feeling of shock was gone but deep down I knew I had done the most horrible thing. It was like it was teasing me in my brain so I shouted for it to shut up, though nothing was ever there. I walked away but the harsh reality of what I had done came back to me like a punch in the face and I fell onto the ground in shock, part of me wishing to never get back up. I wanted to lie there forever. But I was not lucky. I did not die, but I wish I had. What lied ahead was far worse than death.

I woke up in the cults' base. I was in the makeshift hospital, medicine is hard to come by from the middle of the forest but my family had managed to make some herbs. I started to shiver and scream. I had forgotten where I was and who the cloaked people were. I even killed a nurse with a needle. I started to panic and I started to run away, sprinting to find a way out of that crazy place when I was grabbed by a man and pulled into a hut. The man was old and he looked ill, he told me he was not one of them. He was not a monster. He told me he was like me, not caught under their influence. I then gained memory of where I was. The man was there at my birth, he told me he had been watching me my whole life. He told me I was special and he told me if you are different in this place it did not go lightly. He promised me we would escape. I went beyond the boundaries of the cult and I ran with him for the city, but we got lost in the forest. It was a nightmare, a nightmare that was stalking me, watching my every move. There was always a cult member finding us and trying to kill us. I was given a gun by the old man, Dyran and I learnt to use it. I would be dead without it. I learnt to live like a survivor but i remember seeing something i could never fight: my brother. He came from behind the trees. I had my gun pointed at his head, knowing he was what I could have become, what I should be, what I was afraid of. I pointed the gun but I could not kill him. I dropped it and I told Dyran to run, but he pushed me away and I ran away in fear. I looked and saw Dyran getting shot in the head. Kyle then came for me. I screamed and cried but he still came He was an emotionless monster. Then i realised I have had enough of this and I stopped and crouched on my knees, waiting to die. But all he did was punish me by not killing me and he dragged me back to the camp, back to my nightmare. I realised I was not weak. Now if i had the gun he would be dead. Everyone would be dead.

I was forgiven very fast, too special to them to be punished. I realised I was not going to let these sadistic monsters let me die. I was going to live and someday I would destroy them all. My brother would die first. I was then forced to do the second part of my 'evolution': I was forced to watch someone die. I was not fazed by this. I was not completely sane in the head, so I could watch this without crying or screaming. It must have felt horrible for the person but I wanted to survive so I remained silent, waiting for my moment. I started to realise that I was losing a grip on my sanity. It was the small things, panic attacks, forgetting where i was, laughing at random points and the torture thing where I did not even feel bad, just a bit sad for the man who was receiving it. I knew these people wanted us to become killers and I knew I was never going to let that happen. I was going to stay Reeva Olympia, and I was not going to become some monster. I was not going to hurt anyone because I was forced to. I started to make my plan to earn my freedom and survive. I then went to the council area and I heard something that destroyed me. On reaping day me and my brother were going to fight and the winner, the one who was alive at the end would become their gods avatar. I started to cry. I felt as if everything was over. But I realised I had a plan to take this place down. I was not going to die there. The reaping was the next day. I was going to escape. The reaping was the only day we were let out of camp. We were the only children in the cult, and i think they knew the Capitol knew about us. Cameras were planted around the forest so I would not be surprised, that they forced us to go to the reapings. It was better than getting hung.

I woke up that morning and I was forced to go to the reaping. I waited outside the gates and I had many pots of Greek fire, a fire that would not burn out unless urine was thrown on it. I then threw it at the camp and threw it at people. I watched it as my nightmare became an ash. I laughed in joy as the camp and people burned to the ground. I had destroyed my nightmare. Everyone was dead. I had seen no one leave the camp. I felt bad for frying people but think about the lives I saved. Who knows how many people they would kill next? I know it was a sin but deep down I know i am a sinner. I know I have killed and I earned the punishment of losing much of my sanity and my own life. I think I have saved myself by doing what i have done, not because i wanted to kill, because i wanted to save others.

I walk away from the camp and I reached the district square and the reaping goes on. The male is reaped/volunteers and I notice a boy looking at me. He looks burnt and horrible and i realise it is Kyle. I almost died in shock but when the girl name was called I volunteered out of pure fear and impulse. It was more of a panicked scream. I was not going to let him win this war and I smiled at the crowd, especially him, partly because I forgot what was really going on. And when I remembered I was still happy. I was the champion and I had escaped. Now i needed to go home. I know I can kill if i have to. I know I have skill and I know I want to destroy Kyle. Deep down, I know I have a chance. I will get the President to kill Kyle. I will not let him live. He lied to me and made me a monster. He made me a sinner and he killed my friend. I will show him and he will pay for what he has done. Now all I have to do is manage to survive. In the Hunger Games, the insane thrive.

Song Inspiration
Max chose the songs no regrets. The lyrics are saying what she has done she has made mistakes but she has started to move on from them. The song also says when she looks in the mirror she doesn't recognise herself. Max thinks this suits Reeva because she is a tender and kind girl but her life and those she grew around made her into something she is not, making her different to what she really is. He likes the fact that the song is talking about moving and destroying regrets. This is why he made Reeva burn down her nightmare and move one, trying to forget everything she has done and tries to start a normal life. He likes the song and it took him ages to find the right song for her.
