Private Sessions Report:
FROM: IOVITA KATRINA TIPBAUBBLE
TO: ATHOS CORIOLANUS LEIGH-SNOW
SUBJECT: 101ST HUNGER GAMES PRIVATE SESSION REPORTS
NAME: Prism Lazuli
AGE: 18
DISTRICT: 1
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Prism spent the whole session throwing hatchets at dummies, every shot connecting in a lethal spot. They used both hatchets and axes, but appear to prefer the hatchets.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Prism greatly stands out with their outgoing and confident persona, as well as their incredible strength. They naturally fall into the position of a team leader, which could make them a huge target for both Careers and other tributes.
NAME: Vivian Shaw
AGE: 18
DISTRICT: 1
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Vivian demonstrated her knife throwing skills for the first half of her sessions, with every shot being a lethal one. She then proceeded to spar with a trainer using knives as her preferred weapon and won three rounds out of four.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Vivian's status as lower class will provide an interesting contrast to her much more privileged and fortunate allies. Her strategy of playing the flirt appears to be working so far, but time will tell who sees through it.
NAME: Arietis Rammestien
AGE: 18
DISTRICT: 2
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Arietis wrestled with three of our top trainers and managed to beat each one. He then demonstrated his spear throwing abilities, and was able to skewer every dummy he was presented with.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Betting odds indicate Arietis is a clear frontrunner and fan favourite to win, which obviously makes him a huge target. He could possibly dominate his way through the arena, but could also find himself taken out surprisingly early to avoid that fate.
NAME: Olympia Bronze
AGE: 18
DISTRICT: 2
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Olympia asks to demonstrate her wrestling abilities against a trainer. They decided to go for best of five rounds, which in the end went to Oylmpia as she was just barely able to overpower the trainer.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Olympia's skills are very well-honed, even if she appears to be doubting them herself. If she doesn't believe she's capable of holding her ground, then unfortunately it may come true in the arena when her back is against the wall. She appears to fall in the middle of her alliance in terms of skill and strength; it will be interesting to see what she does with that.
NAME: Victor Perdue
AGE: 13
DISTRICT: 3
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Victor completed the edible plants test with a final score of 62. They then threw knives at the dummies, with only a handful of shots connecting. Afterwards, they demonstrated their speed by running laps around the room.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Victor's biggest strengths lie in their effective communication abilities, friendly personality, and social charm. They are quite good at getting people on their side, which may help them, but their physical abilities leave much to be desired.
NAME: Mila Estedon
AGE: 16
DISTRICT: 3
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Mila demonstrated her dagger throwing abilities, with less than half of her daggers connecting with a dummy and even less proving to be fatal shots. She then ran the ropes course twice and finished with decent times, but not that noteworthy.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Mila appears to have a hard time not letting her anxieties and worries get the best of her. She could potentially fly under the radar, but may be marked as a very easy target by stronger forces who will not be willing to spare her.
NAME: Cyclone Riel
AGE: 18
DISTRICT: 4
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Cyclone came in, took a look around the room, then loudly announced that the room was too small for him to properly demonstrate his long-range shots. He asked for a whiteboard and markers, then proceeded to show the calculations to determine how far he could accurately shoot. It was far.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Cyclone's fabled archery skills combined with his intelligence will make him a very deadly tribute. His social skills leave much to be desired, as he spent all of his time with Avonlea and barely interacted with the rest of his allies. This disconnect could alienate him and potentially put him in danger.
NAME: Avonlea Headden
AGE: 18
DISTRICT: 4
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Avonlea fenced with four trainers, lost to the first one but bested the other three. She slashed apart several dummies with a sabre, then demonstrated her swimming skills by completing a dozen laps in an impressive time.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Avonlea is very clearly one of the physically weaker Careers and has not fared well in terms of betting, but this may allow her to get to the end undetected. If she is able to take out her allies when the time comes without being caught, she may have a decent path to victory.
NAME: Ganbataar Tarkhan
AGE: 17
DISTRICT: 5
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Ganbataar performed a medley of survival stations including water purification, fire starting, traps, and the edible plants test, on which he scored an 81. He also told us a cool story about his first time falcon hunting.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: In terms of survival, Ganbataar clearly knows his stuff and has come more prepared than any of the tributes. His alliance with the Careers may provide him a bit of cover, but he's shown himself to be a bit stuck in his way, which might cause him to butt heads with his allies.
NAME: Loire Lemaire
AGE: 16
DISTRICT: 5
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Loire spent her whole session at the camouflage station, painting her skin so intricately that her arms and legs blended in perfectly with her surroundings.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Loire may be able to skate by hidden if she has access to the right supplies. However, in confrontation, she may be significantly outmatched. She has displayed a very creative mind, so she might be able to get herself out of sticky situations by thinking outside the box.
NAME: Walker Jeong
AGE: 13
DISTRICT: 6
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Walker threw knives for a third of his session, and hit an estimated 20% of his shots. He asked to go against a trainer with swords and had the upper hand for most of the fight despite his loss. He then completed the edible plants test with a score of 75.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Walker is a very outspoken and witty individual, who possesses a great amount of charisma and likability. Similarly to his ally Victor, his strengths lie in his social skills and not his physical skills, which may be helpful or detrimental depending on what conflict he faces.
NAME: Naomi Bishop
AGE: 17
DISTRICT: 6
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Naomi spent the first half of her session completing the edible plants test. She did it twice, scoring an 87 the first time and a 98 the second time. She then threw knives and connected just under half her shots.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: In terms of social abilities, Naomi leaves much to be desired. She hasn't made enemies, but her rudeness towards people may sour them on her. Naomi has displayed a good amount of determination and focus, which will serve her well.
NAME: Messier Chitra
AGE: 15
DISTRICT: 7
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Messier first mixed together some berries to create a poisonous sludge he soaked his blowdarts with before firing them at a target. All darts were able to connect, some in areas where the poison would be effective, some less so.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Messier demonstrates an impressive ability to think outside the box and hide his threat level by using a very unique weapon and strategy. However, previous orders from the Head Gamemaker and President are still in play.
NAME: Aisling Trier
AGE: 16
DISTRICT: 7
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Aisling spent her session throwing knives at dummies, with just under half of the throws being successful. Very few actually occurred in fatal places and on one or two occasions, she wasted multiple knives on the same dummy.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Aisling's arrogance can come off as somewhat endearing to the audience if she plays her cards right, but definitely annoys the other tributes. She has decent skills, but seems to overestimate her own abilities.
NAME: Garnet Ashill
AGE: 16
DISTRICT: 8
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Garnet spent his session shooting arrows at dummies. About two thirds of his shots hit something and a good amount of them were fatal. Garnet used both a longbow and a crossbow, but appeared to perform much better with the longbow.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Garnet's friendly demeanour and kindness have greatly boosted his popularity. He is very willing to adapt to changes in his environment and is a team player. However, his trust could be very easy to manipulate and tributes may view him as either a threat due to his reputation, or a liability.
NAME: Ascella Fuhari
AGE: 15
DISTRICT: 8
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Acella completed the edible plants test twice and scored over 90 on both attempts. Ey then shot arrows at dummies for the rest of eir sessions, with just under half of eir arrows hitting something.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Acella's pacifist tendencies might land em in a little hot water in a case of confrontation. But their strengths with edible plants and survival skills will help em greatly in the arena, especially an outdoor one. Eir more ditzy nature might allow em to appeal to sponsors.
NAME: Cameron Solidago
AGE: 12
DISTRICT: 9
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Cameron ran the gauntlet course and finished with a decent time before moving to spear throwing, with only two of his six spears connecting. He then tried to make a fire at the fire starting station, but by the time his session was over he only managed to produce a weak spark.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: As the youngest tribute in the Games, there's no doubt Cameron is at a huge physical disadvantage. Having close connections to multiple allies and a good grasp on survival skills may help him out, and if he can lean into the cute little kid angle, the sponsors will love it.
NAME: Grail Drowen
AGE: 18
DISTRICT: 9
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Grail quickly and violently slashed up multiple dummies with sickles and then sparred twice with a trainer. They lost the first round, but were able to win the second.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Grail's no-nonsense and determined attitude towards the Games will definitely serve them well, as they have made it clear they're a force to be reckoned with. Their direct bluntness and tendency to give people the cold shoulder may be a little off-putting to sponsors and tributes.
NAME: Hunter Appalachie
AGE: 17
DISTRICT: 10
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Hunter constructed a set of four makeshift traps and threw some stuffed rabbits into them to activate it. Three of the traps caught the rabbits while the fourth one didn't appear to work as well.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Hunter seems to be almost a natural at this, which is a little suspicious. But it will serve him well in the arena. However, if he is forced into combat, he may be in trouble if he can't get his traps to work.
NAME: Linh Nguyen
AGE: 14
DISTRICT: 10
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Linh completed the edible plants test three times, scoring within the 85-90 on each attempt. She had a few minutes in her session left, so she talked to us about birds and the different ways one could identify different species.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Linh is a very sweet and engaging personality, making her relatively popular with the sponsors. She seems to occasionally struggle in social situations and her physical skills leave much to be desired, but she still has a chance at playing up her strengths to succeed.
NAME: Kerkylas Andros
AGE: 16
DISTRICT: 11
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Kerkylas asked to wrestle with the strongest trainer we had available. That was Franco. They were fairly even for most of the match until Franco overpowered him and won. Kerkylas demanded a rematch, and the outcome was the same.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Kerkylas is shown to be quite strong physically, which makes up for his brutal attitude and general hostility. It may draw tributes away from him which could work out in his favour and there's no doubt he could hold his ground in a fight, although there's no saying if he could confidently win.
NAME: Coreopsis Buchanan
AGE: 15
DISTRICT: 11
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Coreopsis ran the edible plants test three times and scored between 85 and 90 for all three rounds. They attempted to slash apart a few dummies with a sickle and for the most part did well, except for one or two occasions where the sickle was stuck.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: As a new parent, Coreopsis has a huge sympathy card they can play to the audience to attract sponsors and popularity. They have a decent knowledge of survival skills and have built back their strength, so they may be able to hold their ground in a fight, depending on their opponent.
NAME: Reggie Baxter
AGE: 18
DISTRICT: 12
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Reggie used red paint from the camouflage station to simulate open wounds on a dummy and proceeded to show his medical expertise by patching up the wounds. He also showed us different plants and talked about their medicinal uses.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Reggie's knowledge will benefit him greatly in the arena, where medical supplies will be scarce and wounds rampant. It'll help him get on the good side of tributes and make decent connections. He may unintentionally put a target on his back, as it's possible someone will want to take out the healer.
NAME: Tati Vey
AGE: 14
DISTRICT: 12
SKILLS DEMONSTRATED: Tati did the edible plants test, but was only able to complete it twice, both with pitiful times. On few occasions she would jump and freeze up, but mostly seemed distracted. She did score over 90 on both attempts.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Recommendation for a mental and wellness evaluation. Tati may be able to use her small size and knowledge of edible plants to her advantage, but she clearly lacks physical strength and unfortunately may become an easy kill to nab for someone.
This is always a fun format for the Private Session. Love how it shakes things up a little.
Next chapter is when we'll get a reveal of the scores, which we'll hear from Avonlea and Ascella. So stay tuned for that!
