ATTN: HEAD GAMEMAKER TITIAN QIN
PRIVATE SESSIONS REPORT
THEODORA HARP and Harlequin Marceau
DISTRICT ONE MALE: GRANDE ST. LEGER
ASSESSMENT: Grande focused on his unarmed combat skills. He is skilled in various weapons and no doubt knew that we were aware of that, so he demonstrated the unarmed combat skills he learned in the Capitol from his mentor Ravi Waterford. He showed considerable skills considering the short time he had to train.
STRENGTHS: Psychological knowledge, weapons, strength, career alliance
WEAKNESSES: Mental state, close relationship to District partner
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Grande suffers from Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It has been kept controlled by a regimen of SSRIs. With his physician's assistance he tapered off the medication before the Games. He has not yet shown ill effects.
ODDS: 16:1 SCORE: 10
NOTES: But why would you volunteer if you have anxiety? Like wut?
DISTRICT ONE FEMALE: ELISSA DE ANGELO
SKILLS ASSESSED: Elissa struggled to settle on a skill to show. She decided on throwing knives and performed as expected. Near the end of the session she was distracted by the chemistry table and remained there until time ran out.
STRENGTHS: Alliance, weaponry, obfuscating ditziness
WEAKNESSES: Close relationship to District partner, easily distracted, good-natured
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Elissa is part of a District One cult that has not proven dangerous and has been tolerated. Our psychologist also suspects ADHD.
ODDS: 18:1 SCORE: 8
NOTES: One's been sending the weird ones lately.
DISTRICT TWO MALE: ATTICUS SCIPIO
SKILLS ASSESSED: Atticus staged a massacre. Like the old movies Titian loves, he grabbed a machete and started making it rain stuffing. He threw the last one at the glass so hard the plastic frame cracked it.
STRENGTHS: Killing stuff
WEAKNESSES: Aggression, single-mindedness, likely to be targeted by fellow Careers, unlikability
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Family history of psychopathy plus unhealthy coping skills and aggression learned from abusive father
ODDS: 15:1 SCORE: 8
NOTES: Two points were deducted for cracking our nice glass.
DISTRICT TWO FEMALE: DONNATELLA BRONOS-PALASSAQUA
SKILLS ASSESSED: Donnatella fired a dozen arrows, hitting two bullseyes. She seemed disappointed in herself.
STRENGTHS: Maturity, perspective, weapons, allies
WEAKNESSES: Survival skills, general Career weaknesses
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 15:1 SCORE: 9
NOTES: But you have a baby! Yeah that would drive me to volunteer.
DISTRICT THREE MALE: COBALT KEYES
SKILLS ASSESSED: Cobalt ran through the ropes course. He certainly has a lot of energy. And for someone who's not from Seven, he can climb.
STRENGTHS: Climbing, energy, alliance
WEAKNESSES: Comes from an urban District, fighting skills
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 24:1 SCORE: 6
NOTES: Wow that's so weird he's probably never seen a real tree.
DISTRICT THREE FEMALE: YTTRIA NOXUS
SKILLS ASSESSED: Yttria focused on the spear and crossbow. The spear's basically just a stick so you can't go wrong. With the crossbow she showed understanding of the basic concepts. She also dabbled in survival skills. As she worked, so informed us of her allies and their balancing skills.
STRENGTHS: strategy, organization, curated alliance, crossbow
WEAKNESSES: Small, might be targeted
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 18:1 SCORE: 7
NOTES: Ooh an all-around contender.
DISTRICT FOUR MALE: CAIO SAGRES
SKILLS ASSESSED: Caio doesn't fight so much as parade. He used his long pointy pole thing really well, but he also liked to make it look good. He was all over the place! It was like one of those fancy foreign dances where they jump super high and do flips and stuff
STRENGTHS: Agility, flair, weapons, alliance
WEAKNESSES: Probably going to get targeted. I'd say overconfident but I think he IS that good
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 12:1 SCORE: 9
NOTES: This is the kind of Victor Panem needs. He's hot, and handsome, and also attractive. His talent can be making posing for novel covers.
DISTRICT FOUR FEMALE: SEYCHELLE DEVRIES
SKILLS ASSESSED: Seychelle used this weird cool-looking moon sword. She cut the heads off a bunch of dummies. I understand that's usually fatal, except Titian said Scottish people can live through it. She also did some first aid, wrapping one of the slain dummy's legs.
STRENGTHS: Weapons, first aid, not overconfident
WEAKNESSES: Kinda spacey, young for a Career
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: According to our psychologist, Seychelle is hella weird.
ODDS: 18:1 SCORE: 8
NOTES: Did she say she was "Moon Knight"?
DISTRICT FIVE MALE: KLAUS RIVIERA
SKILLS ASSESSED: Klaus did some voodoo with a stick and told us which way north is. We checked and he was right. Weird.
STRENGTHS: voodoo, navigation
WEAKNESSES: Loner, weapons skills, size
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Expected trauma from witnessing mother burning to death. Family history of psychosis that seems to have missed him.
ODDS: 24:1 SCORE: 6
NOTES: Dang, all those people that got lost in the woods and died and they just needed a stick.
DISTRICT FIVE FEMALE: MEENAH TURBINE
SKILLS ASSESSED: Well, she wasn't wrong. Meenah walked in and announced she was going to do something no one expected. She then stripped to her birthday suit. We were very intrigued at what use that skill had in the Arena, but then she went to the tracking station and no joke sewed herself an outfit out of random pelts, narrating the process for tanning and curing raw hides.
STRENGTHS: Impossible to predict, showmanship, charisma
WEAKNESSES: Prudes
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 20:1 SCORE: 7
NOTES: U sell fridges to Eskimos or what?
DISTRICT SIX MALE: ENZO RANGER
SKILLS ASSESSED: Enzo constructed a figure-4 snare competently. He regarded it with strange sadness after he was done. With less than a minute left, he halfheartedly tried some knife fighting.
STRENGTHS: Speed, traps, easy to overlook
WEAKNESSES: Size, ferocity, forgettability.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 26:1 SCORE: 6
NOTES: I don't think you'll play the Game until it's too late.
DISTRICT SIX FEMALE: GASOLY WAYFARER
SKILLS ASSESSED: Gasoly engaged in unarmed combat with a medium-low sparring partner. She utilized a simple, plodding approach, using her weight to her advantage in standby moves. At the end of the session she was panting with exertion.
STRENGTHS: Not threatening, powerful build
WEAKNESSES: Speed, endurance, health
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 30:1 SCORE: 5
NOTES: Oink.
DISTRICT SEVEN MALE: ADAIR OAKSON
SKILLS ASSESSED: Adair went through the ropes course. He's from Seven and performed as expected. He was confident enough at the great height to be daring and visibly enjoying himself. Climbing is not only a skill but his nature.
SKILLS: Climbing, dexterity, agility
WEAKNESSES: Weapons, age
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 24:1 SCORE: 6
NOTES: We have a lot of really average Tributes this year.
DISTRICT SEVEN FEMALE: JEZZEBELL FERN
SKILLS ASSESSED: Before beginning her throwing dart demonstration, Jezzebell requested "a shot of the stuff we're having". Maenad, being a born partier and also born breaker of rules, gave her one as the rest of us tried to stop her. Jezzebell shot the shot and then shot the darts, hitting three bullseyes.
SKILLS: Throwing darts, alcohol tolerance, strong alliance
WEAKNESSES: Judgement
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 18:1 SCORE: 8
NOTES: Never mind about the average thing.
DISTRICT EIGHT MALE: LINDEN ANDERSON
SKILLS ASSESSED: Linden showed both skills necessary to win the Games: intelligence and brutality. He selected a club as his weapon. Clubs are both found everywhere and completely intuitive. He smashed a bunch of mannequins. Not fancy, but they were definitely dead.
STRENGTHS: Cunning, willingness to kill, opportunistic "romance". Linden also has the final element: luck. He comes from a rich family that will be able to provide sponsor items.
WEAKNESSES: May be targeted by Careers, lack of outdoor experience
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 17:1 SCORE: 8
NOTES: Probably the non-Career favorite. Him or Jezzebell.
DISTRICT EIGHT FEMALE: OTHELLA FLINE
SKILLS ASSESSED: Othella made a wide variety of traps. She focused on that one skill because of the balanced nature of her alliance. Othella was difficult to judge because her skill was muddied by other factors such as her mental state.
STRENGTHS: Traps, adaptability, strong alliance
WEAKNESSES: Size, age, childlike nature, possible mental fragility.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Our psychologist states that Paloma's imaginary friend is merely that and not any sort of psychosis or schizoid disorder. At worst it is a non-optimal coping mechanism.
ODDS: 36:1 SCORE: 6 (1 point deducted for mental concerns)
NOTES: Yeah I mean the skills are a six but the kid's just a little kid?
DISTRICT NINE MALE: PORTER CRANE
SKILLS ASSESSED: Most of the session was spent running. Porter is both a fast sprinter and did not tire through the entire session. At the end he added a few throwing knives. He hit 60% of the targets.
STRENGTHS: Speed, attempt at weapons
WEAKNESSES: Strength, general mediocrity
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 30:1 SCORE: 5
NOTES: The Grim Reaper can run a long time.
DISTRICT NINE FEMALE: VISENYA LLOYD
SKILLS ASSESSED: Visenya obviously didn't know what to do. It was classic stage fright and test anxiety. She pointed out a few edible plants, clearly seeing how tepid she was being.
STRENGTHS: Plants, opportunistic romance with Linden
WEAKNESSES: Weapons, strength, confidence, general ability
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 34:1 (boosted for likely sponsor gifts) SCORE: 3
NOTES: Oof. Well, sometimes the low-scoring ones come out of nowhere.
DISTRICT TEN MALE: GAVIN BOOTH
SKILLS ASSESSED: Our first impression of Gavin was that he is a very athletic and comely young man. Well, everyone but Kallipygos, who is the straightest thing since geometric lines and has no sense of aesthetics. Gavin used this physique to his advantage in spears and unarmed combat. He played baseball in Ten and the skills transferred neatly to the weapon and adequately to the sparring.
STRENGTHS: Spears, athleticism, looks
WEAKNESSES: I dunno, probably curveballs
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 19:1 SCORE: 8
NOTES: Batter up.
DISTRICT TEN FEMALE: PALOMA BENNETT
SKILLS ASSESSED: Paloma blended multiple skills into one. She first constructed a shelter, then built a fire to set it ablaze, then quenched the fire. She had just enough time at the end for some spear throwing.
STRENGTHS: Versatility, strong alliance, survival skills
WEAKNESSES: Her strong alliance may be targeted
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 20:1 SCORE: 8
NOTES: We got an all-around contender. Ten hasn't had one in a long while.
DISTRICT ELEVEN MALE: APOLLO COURFEYRAC
SKILLS ASSESSED: I mean, he's twelve. He ran around the agility course, where the obstacles are so big he can slip right through them, and creatively hid among the displays to show stealth.
STRENGTH: Fits in small spaces, not a threat, maneuverable
WEAKNESSES: Size, age, strength, easy target
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 38:1 SCORE: 5
NOTES: There's always one.
DISTRICT ELEVEN FEMALE: WISTERIA ROSE
SKILLS ASSESSED: I can't even write this with a straight face. She just had a whole baby. Yeah she's gonna suck! Wisteria pretty much got no training time. As a result she was unable to show plants or snares skills. She stood nearly dazed in the training room, moving like she was wading through water and was lost.
STRENGTHS: Pushed a premature baby out of her teenage body
WEAKNESSES: Training time, mental state, overwhelming disadvantages. Anemia, vitamin deficiencies, blood pressure instability, and incompletely healed wounds from labor.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Though it's too short a period to make a full diagnosis, our psychologist reports symptoms of postpartum depression. Because the rest of the problems weren't enough.
ODDS: 80:1 SCORE: 2
NOTES: It is a wonderful time to be alive and long live Panem and President Snow.
DISTRICT TWELVE MALE: ARGENT ORE
SKILLS ASSESSED: Argent identified five edible plants from forest biomes. He was unconfident and often looked up at us with trepidation. When he saw he had a few minutes left, he began to build a fire, building a good foundation before time ran out.
STRENGTHS: Plants, fire-making
WEAKNESSES: Confidence, weapons, size
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 35:1 SCORE: 5
NOTES: Cheer up, dude. You did fine.
DISTRICT TWELVE FEMALE: SUNDEW KEOPE
SKILLS ASSESSED: Sundew constructed two simple traps. They did not take much time, and she spent the rest of her session going over ways to find water in an Arena. Nothing spectacular, but some good basic skills.
STRENGTHS: Water-finding, traps
WEAKNESSES: Diverse skills, size, strength
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: Nothing
ODDS: 30:1 SCORE: 5
NOTES: You know I always hope Twelve will have a good one and they never do.
