Carnelia Balenciaga

 is a female citizen of District 1. She is a Victor, as he won the 68th Hunger Games. She was also reaped as a tribute in the 75th Hunger Games representing District 1. Her District partner is Alastair Dongahue.

Personality
Carnelia is known by those who know her as a wild party animal. She is very social and can often be found visiting people just for the sake of it. Her natural charm allows her to be well-liked by many people, though some may find her activities grating. She is clever in a sly way as she is capable of spontaneously coming up with ideas to achieve her goals. Ambitious and energetic, she is willing to do many things to meet her own goals. She is mainly able to accomplish this through her manipulation skills and, on rare occasions, her seduction skills (though she prefers not to use them unless absolutely crucial).

In spite of all this there is a more pitiful side to Carnelia. Whenever she isn’t interacting with other people she resorts to her sad and sullen shell. Whenever she’s in this shell she tends to daydream about her glory days within her old hunger games. However her glory came at a cost which led to her being untrusting towards most new people she meets. If she is in conflict with another tribute she tends to be submissive if they lash out at her, mostly out of fear of getting hurt. When it comes to past events she can also be vindictive towards those who have hurt her in the past. Her thirst for vengeance is easily satisfied with a small prank which harms or at stresses out the wrongful one. Nonetheless if she has a bad history with someone, she can be snarky and will hint to their past with each other. Carnelia also has a tendency to keep her emotions bottled up, meaning she can easily explode if things get too stressful for her.

Fears
Being hated, prostitution, sexual intercourse, losing her loved ones, spiders,

Strengths
As aforementioned, Carnelia can manipulate tributes to suit the situation. Sometimes she plays mind games with them whilst at other times she just uses her charm to sway them. When combined with her cleverness, she can find a pressure point which will convince the tribute more often than not. Another of her assets is her prowess in combat. Though she is a little rusty, she still remembers how to fight and has even done a small bit of training in an attempt to relive and remember her time in the games.

Weaknesses
When it comes to conflicts, whether physical or mental, Carnelia has a habit of becoming a pushover. Though it takes aggression for her to become submissive, even the slightest hint of malice can make her withdraw her argument. At the worst of times she can be quite clumsy, mainly because she focuses on other things and often neglects to check the environment. Her lack of focus can also mean that she is slow to react to situations.

Before the Games

 * Raised in a household of 5 as the eldest child.

There she picked up on skills with an axe
 * Her family were rich enough to afford her a placement in the most elite career academy.


 * She once got lucky with dating one of the most popular trainees at the school. However the people who also liked the trainee decided to spread rumours about her in revenge. They broke up a few weeks later as the trainee believed them. Carnelia was heartbroken.


 * Once she found out who spread the rumours, she was furious. Secretly she sprinkled their uniforms with some sort of chemical. This chemical would make them feel like they’re being burned, when in actuality it did nothing to the skin.


 * Though the gossipers didn't know who was responsible, they stopped spreading gossip in case they were pranked again. Carnelia was pleased.

The Games

 * Volunteered for the 68th Hunger Games when she was 17, later turning 18 at some point whilst she was in the Capitol.

The arena was an arena set in the sky. Tributes could ride airships and fly over to air islands.
 * Earned a score of 9 with odds of 5-1. Charmed the audience with her interview


 * Carnelia took out 1 tribute in the bloodbath.


 * Ever since the start of training, Carnelia had been trying to seduce and manipulate her district partner and the girl from 4.


 * On day 3 she persuaded her district partner into killing the D2 Male (the frontrunner) after the three of them took out an alliance.


 * On day 4, the D2 Female and D4 Male died to the D7 Male and D7 Female respectively.


 * On the final day (day 6), Carnelia got the D4 Female to attack the boy from 1. Afterwards she took her out.


 * After that there were 3 tributes left. One cannon could be heard. After piloting her airship for a few minutes, she encountered the D11 Male stood over the body of the girl from 12. He was killed with her axe whilst he was distracted.


 * Her final fight was with the boy from 7. Even though he put up a good fight, she eventually came out victorious.

Aftermath

 * Was afraid of what others would think of her. However most of the career districts accepted her as their victor. At least on the outside. She couldn't help but wonder if their cheers were genuine or not.
 * Forced into prostitution by Snow not too long afterwards. She only accepted it because she didn’t want her family to get hurt.
 * It was around the 71st Hunger Games that she decided to leave her prostitute life. When she refused to take any more clients after a horrific orgy, most of her family was killed. Only her sister, who ran away and hid in their secret spot, survived.


 * Carnelia found her and disguised her so that she could work in a perfume production factory.


 * Started to distract herself by throwing wild parties.


 * At one party she met the daughter of one of the victors, Sahara Chanel. The two often had conversations at parties and flirted with each other. Due to Carnelia’s trust issues, it took the pair 18 months to start dating (during the 73rd Hunger Games).


 * To distract herself from her sadness, she started working out again and brushed up on her combat skills. She also visited the houses of the other D1 victors. However a part of her still felt missing.

Before the Games
Carnelia volunteered for the 75th Hunger Games. The quell "twist" that year required the tributes to be reaped from the existing pool of Victors. The tributes didn't know it at the time, but President Snow rigged the Quell to silence rebellious Victors. Carnelia wasn't originally a target, as she volunteered for the Games and didn't seem like a threat.

When she heard the twist for the 75th Hunger Games, Astraea felt excited. In her mind she thought that participating in another Games could be what she needed to spark up her happiness again. When Sabina Goldbury was reaped, she volunteered in her place.

Carnelia, along with her District partner Alastair, had a well received interview.
