A/N: It's been a little while since I posted anything to this story, so I suppose I'd better keep things going over here now I've started to put a good few hours into keeping my other fanfics going in the past week. So here's another tribute profile, this time for Cecelia of District 8.

I hope that you all enjoy it :)

When you think of qualities that define a victor, you wouldn't be wrong to immediately think of a powerful, muscular figure, bloody sword in hand and the courage and skill to take on four tributes at once and kill them all. Confident, daring and athletic, good-looking if they can be, this is the image of a victor that seems to most capture the attention of people like ourselves, devoted fans of the Games. Victors like Finnick and Gloss, Lyme and Enobaria, who seem to fit the image perfectly.

Cecelia, however, is most definitely an atypical victor.

In the past seventy-four years, only two tributes have been crowned victor without gaining a single kill in the arena, both in controversial circumstances. Cecelia's victory came in the sixty-first Games almost fifteen years ago, definitely the most brutal Hunger Games since the Second Quarter Quell, if not ever. Just four days long, tributes had to survive searing heat and freezing cold in a desert arena faced with no weapons and no water. Despite never having been favoured by the public or the Gamemakers before the beginning of the Games, (Cecelia only managed a five in training in her first Games) Cecelia managed to outlast the other tributes in the arena, dodging lethal muttations and rationing her meagre supplies to keep herself fed for longer, and all the while her fellow tributes were dropping like flies. Of the usual competitive tributes from Districts 1, 2 and 4, only two survived onto the second day of the Games, and all of them were dead by sunset that day.

Another two days and Cecelia had managed to outlast all of her opposition without ever once having raised her fists in her entire time in the arena. Cecelia may not be a victor in the stereotypical sense, but she is certainly a hardy survivor. Gritty determination and a keen mind got her through the most challenging arena we've seen in decades, setting a record as the then-youngest tribute to win the Games, being just under sixteen years of age. Her record would only last four years, but she remains the third youngest victor we've ever seen.

After the arena, Cecelia has returned to the Capitol every summer to mentor District 8's female tribute in the Hunger Games, although in thirteen years she is yet to have mentored a victor. Despite a strong showing by her tribute in the 73rd Games, District 8 haven't seemed to be contenders to win the Games since before Cecelia's victory.

Luckily for Cecelia, life goes on away from the Games. Having never threatened to kill during her Games, Cecelia has been considered by many to be the best person ever to win the Games, rather than the ruthless killers we are presented with every summer, and perhaps it is this that has led Cecelia to fit back in to district life so easily following her time in the arena.

Despite having no talent to develop after the Games, Cecelia has kept herself busy in District 8 by training to become a schoolteacher, and she now helps to educate District 8's young in the ways of the district before returning to the Capitol in the summer to mentor in the Games. Away from her work, Cecelia has managed to settle down with Donovan Archer, a charming young tailor. The couple married almost ten years ago and have since had three children; Louise, Jamie and Heather.

Now, forced to part with her family, the Third Quarter Quell will undoubtedly be the most challenging time of Cecelia's young life so far. Fifteen years ago, when faced with incredible adversity, Cecelia found a way to grit her teeth and pull through the horrors of the arena in one piece. If the past Quarter Quells are anything to go by, it's safe to say she won't be having it much easier this time around.

Still, she won't be short of motivation in the arena this year. By building herself a new life after the Games, Cecelia may have given herself the edge; a real reason to be the first tribute to do the double and escape the arena twice.
