Information
Name: Catie Oplit Age: 15

District: 3

Gender: Female

Weapons: Wrench, Dagger.

Strengths: good at programming, smart

Weaknesses: Not very focused, not one takes her seriously

Personality: Excitable, friendly, enthusiastic, optimistic, jumpy, but focused and serious when she needs to be. Backstory: From a young age, Catie recieved only encouragment. Even if she did something down-right terribly, her parents would say, "Wow! Great job, Catie!" Making sure though, that she wasnt incompetent and unable to correct mistakes, they added along with that, "There's always room for improvement!" The same would happen when something was done perfectly.

When was that? That was when she was programming. This was the only time when she was focused and serious. She would program games and robots just for fun; and sometimes do it better than professionals. This all led up to her game making offer when she was 13.

It was an offer to make a game, that would be about a girl on an adventure to find her pet crocodile. She and her enthusiastic and accepting parents looked over the contract. When reading, however, they looked at this part mostly:

By both parties signing this contract, Catie Oplit will be employed and will agree to work on the game, "Ami's Crocodie Finding Adventure," for fifteen months, for Ferice Wheel Gaming, and in return recieve fifteen thousand dollars in cash or check, the choice of Catie Oplit of which it will be, from Ferice Wheel Gaming, a fair amount of credit of making the game, and will get a luxury hotel in the capitol to stay at while making the game.

What they didn't notice in the contract was that this was stated:

However, if the person to be employed, Catie Oplit, is under eighteen, she will not receive the money at all, due to being too young to work legally, and no credit whatsoever due to being a minor, and to protect her privacy, her name will not be mentioned at all.

When they found out that they were outraged. They filed a lawsuit, not yet knowing about that tricky little paragraph. By the time they did, it was too late. They had lost more money than what they would've gotten from lawyers, lawsuit fees, and transportation to the court.

Catie felt terrible. She knew volunteering was the right thing to do; she would get her family back their money, and the money they deserved from her working. She was going to save her family.

Reasons for Winning: So she can get her family the money they used on her.

Fear(s): A plan going wrong, agreements/contracts, crocodiles
