Theodosia is a victor from District 12, one of the younger ones. She won the 66th Hunger Games when she was 15, about to turn 16 by the time the games were over. She didn't have much skills under her belt, besides the fact that she's a healer, very speedy, and knew a decent amount of mechanics from her late father. So there's a clear question in the room: how did she win?

The answer is her smarts.

Theo is generally a happy girl. Not too naive, but not too distrustful either. The kind of person you can't help but like, no matter how much you want to hate her. Girl next door stereotype. That kind of charisma gave her an in with the Career group, as well as a decent amount of sponsors, which she used to her advantage. She was the supply guard, and you can imagine what kind of free time that gave her. Eventually she betrayed them, building little discreet traps using what she could find and what she was gifted. Any small capitol traps she found from the Gamemakers, she dismantled and put back together. She dug up the mines from the Cornucopia and placed them around the supplies, for "extra protection". Once the Careers figured out that Theodosia was betraying them, she literally just dipped and activated them from a somewhat safe distance away, getting slammed into a tree side first. That knockback gave her major hip and neck issues, but from there since she took out a big group, all she had to do was outlast the others. The traps she saved from the explosion proved handy for that.

The 66th Hunger Games left Theodosia distraught with herself. These other district members who had been in the games, they were all people. Children. And she lied to them. It was so easy too! They died, and she didn't even feel a thing. But there was no way in hell she was going to let anyone see that. So she kept up that happy, kind, facade- because who knows when they could be watching. And if the whole world did find out, what would that mean for her? It's only at night when she feels that comfort, all alone, no one awake to hear her sobs. She's almost nocturnal- it makes sense to define it like that, she doesn't even feel human during the day. More machine-like. In the back of her mind, she knows she has to live, and she's trying her goddamn best.

relationships

The Everdeens - Since she was about 12, Theo hung around Mrs. Everdeens apocathery- whether that was because she had gotten into a rather nasty scuffle with some other kids, or to help out with another injured person. She got along with Katniss and Prim, both before and after her victory in the 66th Hunger Games. Theo tried to help out the best she could when Katniss and Gale's fathers died, sneaking them little treats and whatnot from her "victory allowance", as she called it. She was genuinely saddened when the girls had to part, still aching a little bit after her own younger sister, Callisto died in the 69th Hunger Games. She considers Katniss a smart kid, and finds her blunt, defiant point of view refreshing compared to all the people she's met before.

Haymitch Abernathy - From mentor to mentee, and then to just mentors, these two have gone through a lot. Theo's always been kind to Haymitch, and he's returned the favor in his own way. He's one of the few people that she trusts, and he feels a similar way. They kind of have a sun/moon dynamic, or at least that's how the Capitol presents them. For Theodosia, the few weeks after her victory was one of the hardest points in her life, and Haymitch helped her get through that. Not friends, not found family, but aqquaintances- who each can rely on eachother.

Otis Vixen (another oc) - Otis will always be one of Theodosia's biggest "what if's", and losing him was her biggest regret. He was one of the few in the district to volunteer for the games, and her district partner. He had a death wish, yet the girl made the mistake of bonding with him. Once he learned her secret, Otis and Theo were a duo both feared and loved by their viewers in the capitol. They were like Bonnie and Clyde. Even after all that time, Theodosia still wonders whether she made a mistake all those years ago killing him last, but if he saw how things were now- she wouldn't think he'd mind.

AUTHOR-M:"What is your darkest childhood memory?"

quick trigger warning for death of a child, explosions, general madness, this is kind of dark imo, (yeah no shit sherlock) stay safe.

THEODOSIA:"I mean, I can't really say my victory in games, though that would be the obvious answer... I blocked most of that out anyways, thinking about it fucks with my head. Uhm- aside from that, probably the 69th. It hurt just that much more, I watched and couldn't save her. Callisto was going mad. She went mad. I did the best I could to help her, to teach her during the training sessions and whatever other time I had, but in the end I knew I was saying goodbye to her. I didn't even really feel that bad when she set off the bomb, because she got a rest from it all. She got a break. She didn't have to suffer anymore, just with that one final snap. ...Is it fucked up to say that? I dunno. It really hurt to watch her descend into... that, but maybe Cal's better wherever the hell she is."
