Character

Name: Primrose Everdeen

Fandom: The Hunger Games - the books, not the movie

Gender: Female

Age: 13 (Noting on the app that it does ask us to discuss suitability for a character under 14 - I will simply say that Prim's canon had difficulties of its own. Difficulties such as children being made to fight to the death yearly. She also spent time in a game where monsters came out each night, killing anyone they could find. She is more than used to the world of horror)

Canonpoint: Final book - mid explosion;

Former Game(s): Sirens Pull

Character Journal: andproper

Permissions Post: Here.

Character Inventory: What she's wearing - a yellow feathered cloak lined with pockets, a yellow mask, and two now defunct communication devices - both a standard one for Sirens Pull, and a Teen Titans comm.

Weapon - A sharp red dagger, shaped like a feather and held by a bright yellow sheath. When put away, it looks like like nothing more than a stylized duck's feather. It was inspired by this

Useless item - Katniss's mockingjay pin.

Abilities: Prim's best known natural ability is healing. Mrs. Everdeen taught Prim quite a bit about medicine. She is not a fully trained doctor, of course She wouldn't be able to perform heavy surgery, for example, but she does know a lot about herbs. She knows how best to treat wounds, and she has a steady hand when its needed most. Prim actually did work as a nurse in District 13, and was training toward her dream job of becoming a doctor. So if you didn't have anyone else handy... well, if a novice had to perform surgery, Prim would probably do better than most. That isn't to say I envy your chances, though.

Prim also studied up quite a bit on medical techniques while in Siren's Pull, spending a lot of her time in the library with a medical textbook and a dictionary.

She was also a member of the Teen Titans while at Sirens Pull, if only for a few months. Not long enough for any hefty training, especially since she was uninterested in fighting, but enough that Prim learned some very basic self-defense. She built up at least a little muscle, so she isn't quite as delicate as Katniss once called her.

Prim also learned how to perform basic rescue operations, such as saving people from buildings or helping them escape dangerous situations. Considering her distaste for hurting people and her relatively low levels of physical strength, her abilities are geared more toward evasion than attack or even defense. When it comes to a fight, her specialty would be finding escape routes and making her way decisively through them.

I would also say that she knows the basics of cooking, and how to take care of house. Prim would have helped with chores around the house, even when Katniss was there. As for when Katniss was away: while her mother was supposed to take care of Prim, the simple truth is that Mrs. Everdeen wasn't incredibly reliable. Prim undoubtedly helped out in the kitchen the same way she did with patients. She's no more a gourmet cook than she is a full-fledged doctor, but she won't mess up a simple meal any more than she would have a quick stitching. She can take care of herself.

Special abilities: Prim was given the power to transform into a small yellow duckling in her previous game - a power which apparently affected her on a fundamental level, considering she was allowed to keep her powers when the game ended.

While Prim's transformation is arguably magical in nature, it nevertheless follows explicit rules. Clothes are transformed with her, including anything inside her clothes, but not anything she's holding. This is why the inside of her cloak is covered in pockets, so that she can bring small objects with her when she transforms. She cannot recover these items without transforming back. (I'm not sure how the VOCA would work with this? Perhaps it would change size, or meld with the transformation, still functioning, but not being visible.)

Wounds are transferred between forms, but are generally analogous between forms - a small cut to the hand would become a small cut on her wing, and would keep its ratio to the rest of her body. It would be no more dangerous to her in duck form than human. A fatal wound to her human self, on the other hand, would be just as fatal to a duckling - but change size to better match her new body. In other words,, there won't be any wounds bigger than her body can fit after she transforms.

Prim also has certain abilities in her transformed state that are not available to her as a human, and that would not normally be available to a duckling of her size. She can fly at 40 MPH, about the same speed as an actual grown duck. She can also communicate with animals. This includes humans, to a limited degree.

Specifically, Prim is capable of projecting telepathic communication. By default it is picked up by any animal, including humans, within ten feet. If desperate, she can stretch it out to fifteen or even twenty feet. It is also possible for her to direct communication to a single person, but that requires either a very close personal connection or, better yet, physical contact.

Prim can also receive telepathic communication from animals, while in duckling form, but her abilities do not make animals any smarter. Unless the animal in question has human intelligence, all she can receive are the basic emotions and instinct-based responses of the creatures nearby. A general sense that something is scared, or hungry, or about to pounce, for example. She is not able to pick up even this limited telepathic communications from humans. They have to speak out loud for her to hear them.

Finally, Prim does have the ability to do partial transformations, but they are very difficult and nearly useless. The reason is that she doesn't actually just transform the body part. Prim begins a full transformation, and then forces it to stop part way. This requires a great deal of concentration to hold. She could build on this with practice, but currently she won't be able to handle it longer than a few seconds, and would be unlikely to manage any real use out of it. It's main use is simple visual gags.

REVISIONS AS REQUESTED -

Primrose's partial transformations are limited to her duckling form, though they are proportional to her human sized body. Generally her transformation works simply by focusing on her desire to transform. When she begins a partial transformation, she focuses on transforming beginning with a particular part of her body. She might focus on her arm for example, with the change beginning as a wing and spreading across the rest of her form.

In a normal case, the transformation is near instantaneous. In these partial transformations, Prim focuses on halting the morph right at the start. She has to maintain her focus on pausing it, while being careful to not think of actually reverting.

In theory, I would say Prim could activate a low-level version of her powers by using a partial transformation. Her telepathy would be limited to about five feet, and she could levitate a few feet off the ground. However, the amount of focus required to maintain the form makes it nearly useless in combat. At best it could be a way to stealthily reach out to her companions, though even that would require a great deal more practice than she's had.

Prim has experimented with growing a duck bill for laughs, or a wing just to see if she could, but by and large she just transforms fully or not at all.

Background Information: http://thehungergames.wikia.com/wiki/Primrose_Everdeen

Previous Game History:: http://thepull-mods.dreamwidth.org/1418.html and http://thepull-mods.dreamwidth.org/5024.html explains a bit about the world in general. However, Prim's life can't be understood just by looking at them. (I will be providing links to her threads at the end of this, though)

Prim wasn't directly involved in may of the events, but she didn't precisely keep to herself either. When Tim Drake put out a call for Teen Titans, Primrose signed up and became The Duckling. She didn't want to fight criminals, but she did want to help people. She also believed that she had a better reason than most to put her life on the line. Prim originally came into Sirens Pull from within the explosion that would have killed her. She saw it, felt its heat in the moments before she was snatched away, and was aware that if and when she was sent back home, she would arrive back inside that explosion. She spent the duration of the game with that grisly fate hanging in the back of her mind. She knew that no matter what she did there... She was going to die. It was a fairly scary thing for a thirteen-year-old girl. It was also something she very much didn't want to burden Katniss, Peeta, or even Rue with.

To a certain extent, however, her pending death was also a freeing thought. Even if she didn't entirely value it as such. Prim's actions had no consequences to her well-being: her fate was sealed. That, combined with the impermanence of death in Siren's Pull, led to Prim taking chances she might have otherwise been too scared to risk. Even though she was truly frightened of dying, she wanted to make the best of her time there, while she was effectively immortal. She channeled all her energy into trying to do good and worked very hard not to think about what would happen when it all ended. She threw herself into doing what she wanted: into learning medicine, spending time with her sister, and being a superhero. Partially so that she wouldn't have to think about the end.

As stated, Prim isn't much of a fighter. She wasn't interested in becoming one, either. She joined the Teen Titans as more of a support member, and a healer. She did do basic training with them, in particular running drills on how to save people from burning buildings, but poured most of her her time into massive medical books. That obviously wasn't enough to make her a doctor, but it did help her build on what healing knowledge she already had. It taught her how to recognize signs of certain illness, as well as some of the better treatments available. Despite the general discouragement of adults, Prim publicly offered to come to anyone's aid should they need healing. Unfortunately, she didn't really go into action while the game was still around, so she's well trained but still lacking in experience. The biggest dividend of her time as a superhero was arguably her superhero persona, The Duckling, and the bright cheerful costume it led to.

The young Everdeen also made a few friends, and was able to spend some wonderful time with her sister, Peeta, and Rue. That not only made her happy, but gave her a taste of what an ideal life might have been like. While she knew she'd never have that life in Panem, she'd occasionally wonder whether they couldn't set up shop on some other world and just be a family. Perhaps they could even have a normal life. Siren's pull was actually more stable than Panem, while it lasted, as food was plentiful and the housing was good. She even made friends, including the Archangel Raphael who went out of his way to protect her, and two merchants who thought they could merchandise her superhero persona. Due to OOC failure on the part of all muns involved, not much came out of it - but it was still a significant thread that showed people outside the Teen Titans were aware of her superhero persona. Not to mention that it was a delightfully odd friendship, which allowed Prim to actually speak with children her own age.

Prim also learned about the modern world during her time there. From September to April, Prim picked up on the nature of Christmas Thanksgiving, and other holidays, as well as what we would call modern technology. As a result, there's a lot less confusion these days when other characters refer to things from home that didn't exist in Panem.

The biggest effect on her character had to be the game's ending, though. Everything broke loose. The Darkness was spreading, and monsters were spreading with it. A portal to the multiverse at large had opened up, and Prim had a choice of whether to stay or run. She tried to do what she could for the people who remained, to help them as much as she could. She knew that her chances of surviving the blast were slim to none if she returned home. In the chaos of trying to defend against those creatures, and quite possibly with the interference of Raphael, Prim ended up inside the nexus - the space between worlds. A space where she discovered that she could choose to go home... or not.

Of course, Prim didn't really choose this world on purpose. Still, it isn't Panem, which proves that she no longer has a direct link back to her home world, and even if she were to escape from here she would likely end up simply back inside the nexus. The young hero has to wonder if she now has a chance of survival. For the first time in a while, she has a reason to think about her own well-being. A reason to actually hope that she could reunite with her family and grow old with them and live a full life.

Personality Description:

Katniss summed up Prim's personality wonderfully, when she said that it contains the best of their family. We see her father's level head in the way she deals with the panic and death about her. Though it's true Katniss describes Prim as having been scared stiff of the wild in their first book, Prim seems to have shed such behavior by the third book. Perhaps she was always stronger than Katniss gave her credit for. Prim is rarely seen to panic or scream, or generally even freeze. When her father was in a damaged mine, she joined Katniss in finding their mother. When the town was being destroyed, she had the presence of mind to follow, and when the badly injured arrive at her doorstep, she didn't stare in terror at the blood. She helped treat their wounds with a steady hand, seeming less and less phased by injuries as the books went on.

On that same note, Prim inherited her mother's "healing hands," - not only the skill for treating the wounded, but the compassion that gave her passion for the work. Perhaps she embodies it even better than her fragile mother, who fell apart under stress while Prim and Katniss carried on. The diminutive blond gives herself freely to those who need her, whether they are human or animal, and whether or not it's in her best interests. She is the strongest voice of compassion in the family, wishing to take care of the mangy cat her sister saw only as another mouth to feed. She also nursed a goat back to health - though that one was of use, giving them milk and cheese. Still, Prim would have taken care of it if it was a rabid dog or a terrified rabbit. In fact, part of why Katniss stopped taking Prim into the woods is that Prim had wanted to try and heal all the animals Katniss shot for dinner.

That doesn't mean Prim is entirely selfless, of course. She's still a young girl after all, especially at the start of the series. She had her weaker, more oblivious moments, where she wished very much for treats her family couldn't afford. Treats such as cakes in the window. She also does eat meat, despite loving animals. It's simply that Prim is a kindhearted and compassionate person, who hates to see suffering and wants to relieve it. I'd argue that it isn't so much the death of the animal that bothered Prim, as the pain happening right in front of her. Prim's desire to help people can occasionally outweigh her common sense.

That's what leads to her death, actually: rushing to help the injured children of the Capitol, without a thought as to why a thirteen-year old girl might have been allowed on the front lines. Prim had been looking forward to becoming a true doctor. She had been taking classes in District Thirteen. She had no doubt been so eager to join in with healing the wounded that, if she suspected anything, it certainly didn't stop her. Prim rushed in to help those children and when the second waves of bombs exploded - well, actually, that's when she arrived in Siren's pull.

Prim was able to survive in there in the same way she had survived in Panem - the "fight" that she received from Katniss. The ability to stand strong and keep moving forward for what she believed in and wanted. That was just as integral as a level head when it came to working through everything that happened, and it's evident from her ability to keep things together. While we don't know exactly what befell Prim while Katniss was away, a lot of it can be imagined.

First came the games. The fear that Prim must have felt when she was called up as a tribute could only have been matched by the horror of Katniss taking her place. I don't doubt that a girl as compassionate and warm heated as Prim loved her mother, and forgave the woman's faults, but the truth of the matter is that their sole surviving parent was a fragile woman, who caved in on herself when her children needed her most. Her husband died, and she left Prim and Katniss to fend for themselves. Mrs. Everdeen had apparently come back to herself a bit over the years, but it was Katniss who had kept the family alive with her hunting. Katniss who laid ground rules, but also doled out the occasional allowances, such as a cat. Katniss who kept the family from starving, and Prim watched her sister be sent out to die - twice.

Mrs. Everdeen promised to take care of Prim while Katniss was away, but her role as a parent was limited. Prim herself admitted that she knew better than to tell their mother anything truly sensitive. The blond might have talked to Gale a little, but while he was providing the family with food... he also had his own issues: watching Peeta and Katniss in their romance. Most likely Prim ended up keeping a lot of her feelings to herself, in order to avoid burdening loved ones, who she didn't think could take it. Time hugging her cat, Buttercup, and milking her goat, Lady. Time watching her sister struggle to stay alive on national television while the guards became more fierce and injuries became more common and starvation and pain among those who didn't have winning families began to kick in.

Then, when their home was bombed, Prim dealt with being moved into the scary forest just to survive, setting up a medical tent with her mother, with no knowledge that District 13 would come to the rescue in the following days. We don't see it in the book, but we can imagine what Prim must have undergone, just surviving without her rock of a sister, with just a mother who she could not rely on. Yet she survived. The little blond didn't give up hope. She even encouraged Katniss to keep holding on to her hope, when it seemed Peeta might not recover from his capture by the Capitol. Instead of giving up, Prim grew up, becoming a little more thoughtful and a little more insightful.

That's actually the final piece that makes Prim who she is. It's something purely hers that ties the whole package together: insight. An insight that allowed her to see into the heart of matters, when others were reeling in confusion. It was Prim, and not her hunter/Hunger Games survivalist sister who realized that President Snow would want to keep Peeta alive in order to hurt Katniss. She also didn't leap to believe the rebellion leaders any quicker than Katniss did. She instead suggested that they would do anything to keep their Mockingjay happy, so long as Katniss had a way to make them keep their word. Being thirteen means people expect her to be childish. Her sister, in particular, was quite guilty of seeing the little scared girl every time she looked at Prim. She was wrong. The fact of the matter is that Prim has shown herself quite capable of handling herself, and taking things as they truly are. She doesn't want things to be sugarcoated, especially not when it comes to the pain of those she cares about. She wants to know the truth, and she wants to be able to help. If she actually gets all the facts, she's quite likely to come up with the right answer. She certainly did for Katniss, when her sister was worried about how to live up to her responsibilities without giving up what she wanted. Prim used her trademark insight to point out just how important Katniss was, when Katniss herself didn't see it.

That said, while Prim would encourage a loved one to tell the truth... She wouldn't always return the favor. Her mother had proven to be fragile, as mentioned, and Prim herself said that she knew better than to tell her mother everything. Her insightful nature, combined with her unwillingness to cause others harm, can lead to lying by omission when she feels it's necessary. That's why she would also be unlikely to tell her sister about the explosion, unless forced to. It would cause pain and stress. Prim would rather bottle up her emotional upset than share the pain, at least until there's a way to deal with it. If she was to share it with anyone, it would be with those who cared and worried less.

The truth is that, despite her good qualities, Prim doesn't always make the right decisions. At least not from an objective perspective. Part of it might be that for all her insight, she is a child, who occasionally doesn't fully take her own mortality in to account. Or maybe it's just that when someone is in danger, Prim doesn't think about herself to begin with.

When the Capitol attempted to bomb District Thirteen and the sirens went off, Prim did the unthinkable. This survivor, this girl who had trekked through the woods and watched her sister be sent off, actually ran back into her room to rescue her cat. Prim claimed that she couldn't bear to leave Buttercup behind again. Never mind that it nearly got her killed. Not to mention how Prim leaped at the chance to treat soldiers on the front lines, and never mind that she was only a thirteen-year old herself, a relative novice at medicine.

None of that is to say that she doesn't value her own life. Just that her compassion sometimes outweighs her common sense and prevents her from using her much lauded level-head or insight.

Being taken to Sirens pull for a few months didn't directly change most of this. She joined a superheroes team, despite not wanting to fight, just so that she could help people. She got to spend a little more time with her sister, which was nice, and she picked up a few skills that she will hopefully be able to use. Things such as some general self-defense, and tips and tricks to saving someone from a burning building. To be truthful, though, she did not have that many threads during her time there, and there wasn't a wealth of personal growth or insights before the game ended. Its biggest impact will be in how she responds now that she isn't entirely new to world travel, or super-heroing.

The other thing to keep in mind is her canon point. She was taken from right in the middle of the explosion, right as she was dying. This insightful levelheaded girl had to remain strong as a result, scared to tell anyone the truth. Scared to tell anyone that she was a dead woman walking. If Prim had been willing to put her own safety at risk before, she was doubly willing to do so when she thought she was doomed to die. Death in Siren's Pull was only temporary, after all, but death when she returned would be permanent.

She did have a few friends at this point. Tim Drake was a little bit of a mentor. They didn't have many conversations, but he was her team leader, and he he believed she could be a superhero without actually having to fight. That she could just heal and rescue. His belief in her, when everyone else just worried about her safety, is part of what gave her the strength to keep going and working hard at being a hero. Even though she didn't really get to save anyone in the end, Prim certainly threw herself into her training and she certainly tried. Of course, she had more than Tim's belief on her side. Prim had literal divine intervention, in the form of Raphael, an ark angel (courtesy of supernatural.) He had enough tact not to reveal his interference unless necessary, but the two of them would occasionally talk, and he took it upon himself to protect Prim when she was doing her heroic activities.

Despite the risks she took, Prim never actually ended up seriously injured. Which means she kept her belief in herself, but as a byproduct hasn't had to directly face her mortality in this new world - or realize just how painful death can be.

She also had a bit of a social life in Siren's Pull. She befriended two girls her own age, merchants; while they only had one or two conversations, it's practically the only time she ever got to talk to someone her own age on screen for any extended period. Considering they owned their own businesses, Prim thinks people her own age can be fairly weird, but at least she'd be willing to try again if she met other thirteen-year olds.

Then the game ended with her going into the nexus, and her direct bond with Panem was arguably broken. With there being no reason to think she'd ever get sent back home and into the explosion, even if she manages to escape this new world she's found herself in... The situation has changed a little. She actually has a reason to think of herself for the first time in a long time, which will certainly be interesting to watch play out.

Still, Prim isn't really a selfish person by nature. Again, that isn't to say she's selfless - but she does take pride in her new status as a superhero, and as a healer. She would rather go to the aid of others than hide in a building and not make waves. She'll just be a little bit more cautious and thoughtful in her approach than she would have been in Siren's Pull, where she was doing everything possible to overcome all her fears.

To further answer some of the app's questions, I would like to say that the greatest effect of all this - both her childhood and her game experiences - has been to teach Prim perseverance. She's learned to keep going, to keep fighting onward. She's learned about human nature and how it isn't always friendly, such as how she got killed by her own allies. She's had plenty of time to figure that out. She's also learned to keep moving forward no matter what changes.

Still, in truth, Prim hasn't really learned to be cautious. She will try to avoid getting caught as she helps people in need. She doesn't have a death wish, especially not now that she has a chance to survive all of this. She does, however, place a high value on the lives of others. She'll take risks that might get her captured by the guards, because as little as she'd like being hurt, she truly hates the idea of another suffering while she does nothing. If pressed, she would admit it's likely impossible, but a world where everyone's happy and nobody has to hurt would really would be her favorite thing.

Thankfully, Primose Everdeen has quite a bit of experience at not getting what she wants. She can handle it. She'll just keep trying. Trying to save people, and trying to survive this alongside her sister. Trying to get to a world where everything is okay. That's her only real goal at this point, and if she has any fears or doubts it's that she's not going to have what it takes. Thankfully, for all her insights, Prim is still a thirteen-year old girl. She doesn't often turn those insights on herself.

Third Person Sample:

"Katniss?" Prim's head whipped from side to side, pigtails bouncing across her back. Her head hurt mildly, and she couldn't remember exactly how she had gotten here. The nexus - had she fallen into one of the portals? At least it didn't seem to be Panem. She wasn't ready to deal with Panem yet.

She looked around the room, curious. This felt a lot like when she had arrived in the port. There was a bed, which looked pretty nice at the moment.... a chair... and a box. The box had probably been left for her, if this was like last time.

She lifted the box's lid up, sliding her way into it as she tried to pull things out. There was clothing, just an ugly jumpsuit. She was still wearing her yellow Duckling outfit, so maybe she needed to change? But she wasn't sure she wanted to show off her identity just yet. Even if it hadn't really fooled anyone back home.

There was a bottle of water, so maybe she was going to be here for a while? A device she guessed was to connect to the network here. Did everywhere but Panem have them? She put it on the floor besides the box. There was what looked like a yellow feather, too, though it was really heavy. Maybe it was supposed to go with her costume? She lifted it up, and then froze. Something beneath it -a pin. A mockingjay pin. Katniss's pin. Was she there? Was her sister there? Did they have her sister?

"One Two or Three?" The sudden voice in her ear made her jump, head hitting the box's top and she yelped in pain. There was a noise of sliding metal as she stumbled backward. The feather she had picked up -but it wasn't a feather anymore. The yellow sheath had fallen off of it, revealing a red dagger that looked as if it were drenched in blood.

A weapon. Her mind shot to the mockingjay pin. Her entire body trembled, but she couldn't seem to let go of the dagger. The weapon. The pin Katniss had worn into the hunger games. Maybe she was in Panem after all. Maybe they had lost. Maybe she was in The Games.

The knife finally fell from her hand, clattering to the floor. Prim didn't want to hurt anyone. They couldn't make her.

"One. Two. Or three?"

First Person Sample:

This isn't Panem, is it? [Her voice is soft and uncertain, like she really wants to believe what she's saying. Then, more disappointed:] Katniss isn't here, is she? She's gone back home.

I don't really know where I am. I pressed a button, and my head hurt, and... [She pauses, biting her lip.] Everyone keeps smiling. It's like they don't know how to be sad. Or maybe they're scared to be sad.

It sort of reminds me of Panem. I don't think the Capitol looks like this, though, and no one's trying to kill me so it's probably not an arena.

There's something in my ear, too. [She reaches up to press it. She wants very much to tug on it, but she's a little worried.] I think its gone silent for now, but it kept telling me to press a button. That's how I ended up here. I pressed number one.

[ O O C ]
Backtagging: Yessss
Threadhopping: Yeppers!!!
Fourthwalling: Well. You can say there's a book about her? She might even believe you.
Offensive subjects: Do what you must! Just be warned, I *will* unleash Prim's sad face.

[ I C ]
Hugging this character: Embrace the adorableness!
Kissing this character: Cheek only plz, unless you're in the same age range.
Flirting with this character: Well. You can. But I withhold the right to declare it creepy.
Fighting with this character: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!??? Poor Prim. :( ...But yeah; if you want; go ahead. She can defend herself, more or less.
Injuring this character: Go ahead! Be a meanie! (No really. It'll be good CR)
Killing this character: Go for it. She was... probably... asking for it. With her cuteness. And all.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Go for it!!!! But contact me if you want to know what you might find in that brain.
Abilities/Warnings: TELEPATHY. When Prim turns into a duckling, she communicates with telepathy. She can only readthe minds of animals - not humans (Though that does sometimes extend to stuff like dragons, or pokemon, who have some levels of intelligence themselves)... and it's only surface level thoughts, a telepathic conversation pretty much. Also, she can only do it when she's a duckling.

That said, she *broadcasts* her thoughts outward, and anyone - human or otherwise - can pick them up. So. If your character would freak out about that or block them. Um. Let me know?

☓ Game history: Prim arrived on the island against her will, pulled in by the power of the Core – a device of unknown power that took and trapped people across the multiverse against their will. In arriving, she was also given a communication device – which took on the appearance of a med kit – and granted powers. Namely, she was given the ability to transform herself into a small duck (capable of understanding other animals, and mentally broadcasting her thoughts to humans nearby.)

With her sister already there, Prim joined Katniss, Peeta and Rue in a relatively peaceful home. By day, the island seemed mostly normal. At night, however, the darkness would descend: powerful creatures built off people’s fears, ready to tear apart anything they caught. No matter how powerful someone was, it was said there was a creature out there that could kill them. As long as one stayed in the darkness protected areas, however, they were said to be… mostly all right. 

When it wasn’t dark – and the core wasn’t flaring up, causing fluctuations in people’s powers – the only issues were with the two super groups SERO and AGI, both trying to gain control over the city. Prim… mostly ignored them, though, remaining neutral. She instead chose to work with two merchant girls she befriended, who intended to teach her how to run a business – Racette and Alouette – an idea that never really took off before core broke down… 

Still, Prim had other things to occupy her free time. With new found powers to help her get about, and her abilities as a healer, Prim was recruited into the Teen Titans by their leader: Tim Drake. She was taught to fight, and worked hard to learn how to take people down without actually hurting them.

When she wasn’t training with either group, she devoted herself to studying books of medicine in the library, and building up her skills. She was quite content with the idea of never leaving, knowing that going home would separate her from her family forever.

Although Peeta later went home, Prim herself remained in the port until the core began to collapse upon itself. The “pull” keeping them there failed, and a nexus between worlds was open. Though Prim wanted to stay and help those in the area, she was forced into the nexus by a concerned arch angel (Raphael, from Supernatural), who had previously claimed her – essentially stalking her to keep her safe. 

She ended up stumbling through the portal to TDS – refusing to go home and to her death, hoping that she would be able to reunite with her sister in some way. The communicator device she had was lost in the nexus, most likely (as it would have transformed into the seed for another core island.) 

☓ Personality:
Katniss described Prim’s personality best when she said that it contains the best of their family. We see her father’s level headedness in the way she deals with the panic and death about her; she doesn’t panic, or scream, or generally even freeze. When her father was in a damaged mine, she joined Katniss in finding their mother; when the town was being destroyed, she had the presence of mind to follow, and when the badly injured arrive at her doorstep, she is always quick to help with treating them, rather than simply staring at their wounds.

On that same note, she inherited her mother’s “healing hands,” - not only the skill for treating the injured, but the compassion that leads to her diving into the work. She gives herself freely to those who need her – taking care of both animals and humans; it was after all that urge that led to her downfall, rushing to help the injured children of the capitol. She looked forward to becoming a true doctor, with the classes in thirteen. Was willing to work towards it – something she had inherited from her sister.

The “fight” she received from Katniss, the ability to stand strong and keep moving forward for what she believed, was as integral as a level head when it came to surviving all that befell her. She watched her sister be sent away twice; she helped to support people she might not even have a chance to save; she was moved from her home to an underground bunker in 13; and yet still she moved onward, never gave up hope. Still she encouraged Katniss not to give in, even when it seemed Peeta might never recover.

In the end, though, it was something purely Prim which tied the whole package together and made Prim who she was; an insightfulness that allowed her to see to the heart of matters, when others were still reeling in confusion. It was her, after all, who realized that the president would keep Peeta alive in order to hurt Katniss; just as she was quick to look towards those known for telling the truth, generally ignoring those who she thought would sugarcoat things to comfort her. 

In the end, it is generally these insights which will lead to Prim deciding who to trust; her recognition of motivation that will lead her to declare one person can be followed, and her understanding of whether someone will tell the truth which will lead to who she listens to. Further, just because she values the truth, doesn’t mean she’ll always tell it. Although she can be brutally honest, she utilizes her judgment on when. The truth about why the president would keep Peeta alive was a brutal one, after all – but it was one Katniss needed to hear; if only because Katniss couldn’t take any more people lying to her, or attempting to manipulate her.

Similarly, her mother – who had broken down at their father’s death, and who neither of them fully trusted not to break down again – was generally told no more than necessary by Prim. No more than she thought her mother could handle. Even her honesty, in the end, is tempered by her insight.

Despite her good qualities, however, Prim does not always make the right decision, at least by other people’s perspectives. In part, this may be because she doesn’t put herself first. When the Capitol threatened to bomb District 13 anew, for example, she ran to her rooms to get her cat Buttercup – and was almost locked out of the bunker as a result. Her response was simply that she couldn’t leave behind the cat again. Similarly, when she was given a chance to go into the field and help the wounded, Prim took it – never mind that she was only 13 years old herself, and still learning medicine. It wasn’t that she didn’t value her own life, of course – merely that her loyalty to her cat, and her compassion for the injured, outranked her own safety in her mind.

☓ Abilities: 
Prim’s abilities back home were completely non-magical. She knows about herbs, and she knows medical skills.
Prim has the ability to turn into a small yellow duckling. In this form she can fly at 40 MPH, and communicate with other animals (including humans.) 
When Prim transforms, her wounds shift with her - and were generally analogous; a small cut to her arm would be a small (on a duckling) cut to her wing; a mortal wound to her human form... Same thing for her duck self. 
Partial transformations are possible - but they take a lot of concentration to hold in place - and they're generally useless. 
In practice, it's essentially starting the transformation and then forced it to stop part way, rather than as if she has fully transformed one body part. This means it takes a lot of training to hold them for any real length of time, and even then they're only useful in fairly specialized circumstances - being able to grow a duck bill or a tail, for example, doesn't do much beyond providing a cute sight gag, in most cases.

Her communication is telepathy based. Specifically, she can broadcast her thoughts - though fully formed sentences are harder than basic impressions or feelings to get across. 

By default anyone with a radius of ten feet will pick her broadcasts up. With concentration, she can increase this (up to 15, maybe 20 for the most basic thoughts/impressions), or reduce it, in the equivalence of shouting or whispering.

With a close personal connection - or, better, physical contact - she can also direct a thought singularly to one person, so long as they're within her basic radius.

This ties into her ability to speak to animals - who, not being made any more sentient themselves by her powers, can generally give off only basic impressions.

Though she can pick up the “broadcasts” of other animals, humans have to speak out loud if they want her to hear them. She can’t pick up their thoughts. 

☓ Intranet post sample:

Hello? [Prim’s eyes are covered by a yellow eye mask, lenses obscuring her eyes from view as the cloth and cloth tied securely about her head. Its coloring is matched by the cloth she wears beneath it, as well as the cape that wraps around her. Mask and cape both look as if they are feathered, the material rustling lightly in a breeze. An Embossed black D rests over her heart, a smaller T inside of it.]

Can anyone hear me? I’m looking for a girl: Katniss. She has dark brown hair. I think she might have come here before me. [She pauses, obviously hesitant to give more information. She knows people can be nice, but this place looks bad…] She probably appeared suddenly. And she might have had a blue orb.

She’s very important to me. And I can pay if anyone’s willing to help. [She lifts up her medical kit.]I have money; and I can give medical aid… 

Whatever youw ant. 

☓ Log post sample:

Prim fluttered her wings, lifting into the sky. She was glad some elements of her powers still worked – even if she seemed to be stuck in that form. She would have been fairly defenseless if she couldn’t fly, after all. Stuck on the ground, while those… things chased her.

She let out a little cheep of fear as something flew toward her, feeling herself dip and stumble before she managed to regain her balance. She had to keep calm. She was flying fast through the trees, faster than she could have walked. She was a tiny target, hard to hit. She could and would make it back to the village, away from these trees with their scent of fear. Away from those creatures that wanted to eat her…

She kept her eyes open as her wings moved with blurring speeds, moving forward, forward, forward. Her mind was broadcasting a call to help to anyone in the area, unfortunately including the creatures that might want to give chase. She could only hope that there were more allies than then enemies nearby.

The houses were looming up above, at least. She just had to move a little faster, go a little further. Pump her wings a little faster – but she couldn’t seem to go any quicker. If anything she was slowing down, creatures looming closer to her. She thought she could feel something at her tail feathers, and with that thought she felt herself losing altitude.

She had to keep calm. She had to push away the fears, before she lost herself entirely. She forced the fear away to climb back into the sky, and burst through to the houses.

Character Information

General
Canon Source: The Hunger Games
Canon Format: Book series
Character's Name: Primrose Everdeen
Character's Age: 13
Conditional: If your character is 13 years of age or under, please clarify how they will be played.
Prim is used to living in relatively harsh environments – a district where laws are kept by military force, or district 13, where people could be forced to go underground to avoid bombings. She even worked as a medic on the front lines of the war effort.

That said, she is a 13 year old girl, and she is used to being looked after. She will most likely bond with others in port – she has canon mates in the game, and she’d be willing to trade her skills as a healer to make other arrangements.
What form will your character's NV take?
A small first aid kit that opens up, like a laptop
Abilities
Character's Canon Abilities: She’s a skilled healer; and good with animals. That’s about it.
Conditional: If your character has no superhuman canon abilities, what dormant ability will you give them? Prim has the potential to turn into a small yellow duckling! In this form she can fly at 40 MPH, and communicate with other animals (including humans.)

This will mostly just help her to survive/escape traps with luck, but could be fun for plots.

When Prim transforms, her wounds shift with her - and are generally analogous; a small cut to her arm would be a small (on a duckling) cut to her wing; a mortal wound to her human form... Same thing for her duck self.

History/Personality/Plans/etc.
Character History: Primrose comes from Panem, a dystopian future government where the capitol city relies upon 12 broken districts. Through “bread and circuses,” - panem et circenses – their political power is stripped from them, in return for an endless supply of food and entertainment. The rest of the world – 12 districts in totally – provide both.

Each district toils with a special purpose, working to produce things the capitol citizens took for granted, under the watchful eye of armed peacekeepers. District 12, where Prim grew up, mines coal.

The true entertainment, however, comes in the form of Hunger Games – the capitol’s yearly reminder of a doomed rebellion seventy five years before, the left the districts in utter servitude, and destroyed District 13. Each district was forced to send two children – one boy, one girl - to a pre-made Arena, filled with various traps to ensure a bloodbath, and given weapons with which to kill each other. Only the last child standing was ever allowed to leave.

This is where Prim comes in – not as the main character, but as Katniss’s little sister. Her father died in the mines, an explosion that devastated her mother, and left her incapable of taking care of her two daughters; left Katniss to take care of the both of them, becoming more of a mother than a sister to her, and the provider of the family. Although Prim – unlike Katniss – did not seem to resent her mother’s failure, she did express a desire to protect her, and an unwillingness to share what she didn’t feel the woman could handle.

Things further fell apart when her name was drawn in the reaping – the picking of those who will participate in the hunger games. Katniss, as protective of her little sister as she was, volunteered to take her place; she went onto the train, took her place in the games – and left Prim to watch, alongside her mother, as her big sister’s life was put to use for the capitol’s amusement.

Prim’s actions in the interim are unknown; Gale – Katniss’s friend and illegal-hunting partner, would have continue to funnel them meat and ensure they stayed well fed. Her mother, working as a healer, would have tended to the wounded, possibly trying to avoid dealing with the possibility of her daughter’s death. Prim most likely would have helped her mother, working with patients – humans, as well as her two pets, Lady the milking goat, and Buttercup the cat.

She would also have watched her sister, each night, as she played in the hunger games. She saw Katniss pretend to be in love with Peeta, her fellow tribute – the better to win support from sponsors, who could send her items in the ring.

Perhaps most important, in terms of impact, she saw her sister win; she listened when the game masters proclaimed that two people from one district would be allowed to win the hunger games; and when – after Peeta and Katniss had managed to survive all odds – the game masters changed it back; and told them to kill each other. And when Katniss, in desperation, offered to share poisoned berries with Peeta, betting that the capitol would rather have two victors than none.

The ploy worked, and Katniss returned; she, Prim, and their mother moved out of their small house, and into the Victor’s square; they were given a steady stream of food, and money, some of which Katniss put to use in the black market of their relatively-security lax town (repaying the townspeople who had supported her in the games.)

Prim, now living in better conditions, continued to assist her mother in attending patients; and though Katniss was still haunted by the games, and those who had been lost. But things shifted for the worst yet again when President Snow informed Katniss her actions had had unintended side effects; where some saw her move with the berries to be only a lover’s attempt to save another, others saw it as an act of rebellion against the Capital. They saw her fistful of berries as a way of refusing to let herself be dominated. It sparked a rebellion – one President Snow enlisted her to help fight against.

Again, Prim was left home, while Katniss traveled the districts and attempted to convince them that she was just a love struck girl; she stood at home, in a more comfortable house, and watched Katniss fail as the rebellion continued to swell (although Prim herself wasn’t not privy to this, as it all occurred off screen.)

Because she failed to stop it, Snow took more extreme measures to punish Katniss, and stop the rebellion; a more stern head of the peacekeepers was installed, their generally lax guards replaced with harsher ones; laws that had been ignored were suddenly enforced – with more and more people being sent to Katniss’s mother badly injured, and Prim eternally helping her to heal the sick. Worse was what Snow did with the upcoming year’s Hunger Games, he declared that all the “tributes” would be reaped from previous winners – and as the only female winner in District twelve – was sent back into the games; this time, she wasn’t even allowed to say goodbye to her family before she left, and Prim was again left at home with her less than stable mother.

It only got worse – forcing Prim to grow up ever faster; Katniss, unwilling to be a palm in the games helped to break down the force field surrounding the arena; and was scooped up by a rebel hovercraft, which revealed there had been a plan in place to rescue the tributes from the start; and that her mentor in the games – Haymitch – had in fact known all along. That he had been using her as a game piece, the same way the capitol had.

The capitol found its retribution by fire-bombing district 12, destroying it the way they had long ago destroyed District 13. Except, as it turns out, District 13 wasn’t destroyed – it had remained underground, with nuclear missiles aimed at the capitol, creating a standstill until the rebellion. Like Katniss herself, Prim – along with the other survivors – were brought to the base, where they would be trained as soldiers and used in the efforts. Katniss in particular was to be the face of the rebellion, bringing the various districts together and helping in the war.

Peeta, unfortunately, was much less lucky. He was captured by the capitol, used against Katniss and made to cry out against their rebellion. To protect him, Katniss agreed to be the rebel’s symbol – their “Mockingjay,” – only if they promised to give Peeta, and the other Victors, immunity.

Still, the issue of whether Peeta would remain alive or not weighed heavily upon Katniss, and the rest; and it was Prim’s insight which brought answers, of a sort. She was the one who pointed out that the president would keep Peeta alive, because it was the only way he had left of hurting Katniss.

Prim had grown during all this, supporting her mother and watching her sister fight in the arena; fleeing from her home. Though we don’t see her during much of this time, even Katniss has to admit that Prim is no longer a little girl; that she has grown up.

Working in the rebel stronghold, Prim began to work towards becoming a doctor, getting trained in medicine. When Peeta was finally rescued – only for them to find out he had been brainwashed into hating Katniss – it was Prim who provided the first viable solution. They had turned him against Katniss with the use of fear-inducing venom, injecting him every time he remembered something pleasant about Katniss, and tainting the memories; so she had him think those memories back up, and inject him with a more calming drug. Though the result on Peeta’s part was mostly confusion, it was still seen as a relatively intelligent suggestion, in a time where no one else had other ideas. If allowed to continue, she might have become a great doctor.

Unfortunately, the rebel leader – Coin – had other ideas. With the various districts joined together against the capitol, Katniss’s job was complete; she had become a liability, with their being too great a chance she would put her influence to use electing someone other than Coin herself. Her first hope was to make Katniss a martyr. She sent the still-brainwashed Peeta into Katniss’s squad, in the hopes that he would kill her. When that didn’t work out, and the capitol failed to end her threat, Coin took more drastic measures.

Using a hovercraft made up to look like it belonged to the Capitol, Coin dropped a series of silver parachutes into a group of children that President Snow was using as a living shield. These parachutes were usually used to hold food, treats, or other such good things – particularly in the arenas. The children reacted instantly, grabbing at them. When they done so, a good portion of those parachutes exploded, injuring many of the children. Healers rushed in – 13 year old Prim among them; and the rest of the parachutes exploded, killing everyone, and badly burning Katniss who had rushed forward towards her sister. Prim died in the explosion – although for the purpose of this game, I would say she was ported shortly before the parachutes went off.

Katniss was devastated, as were the Capitol citizens; Unaware it hadn’t been the Capitol’s move, attempting to take out the healers, resistance crumbled at the brutal action of attacking their own children. She went quiet, too traumatized to even think about protesting when Coin stepped into power. Katniss didn’t say a word – not about anything, not too anyone; not until she ran into the ex-President Snow, who revealed the truth to her; one she couldn’t deny, because Gale himself had come up for the idea of those parachutes – and because she knew it could be no accident that a thirteen year old girl had found herself in the field with the other medics.

When it was time for her to execute President Snow, with her bow, she turned the arrow and fired it into Coin instead; President Snow still died in the aftermath, from sickness or from being trampled by the crowd. A new president was chosen. Katniss – deemed traumatized – was sent back to District 12, where she would receive treatment by phone. No one knew why Katniss had shot President Coin.

Sometime later, Peeta joined her; and they slowly built a life together, with the others who had returned. They planted primrose bushes behind their house; they had two children, who they greatly loved; they wrote down a book, containing information on everyone they loved, and everyone they had lost. They moved on. But Katniss never forgot her sister.
Point in Canon: From the moment of explosion – right before death.
Character Personality: Katniss described Prim’s personality best when she said that it contains the best of their family. We see her father’s level headedness in the way she deals with the panic and death about her; she doesn’t panic, or scream, or generally even freeze. When her father was in a damaged mine, she joined Katniss in finding their mother; when the town was being destroyed, she had the presence of mind to follow, and when the badly injured arrive at her doorstep, she is always quick to help with treating them, rather than simply staring at their wounds.

On that same note, she inherited her mother’s “healing hands,” - not only the skill for treating the injured, but the compassion that leads to her diving into the work. She gives herself freely to those who need her – taking care of both animals and humans; it was after all that urge that led to her downfall, rushing to help the injured children of the capitol. She looked forward to becoming a true doctor, with the classes in thirteen. Was willing to work towards it – something she had inherited from her sister.

The “fight” she received from Katniss, the ability to stand strong and keep moving forward for what she believed, was as integral as a level head when it came to surviving all that befell her. She watched her sister be sent away twice; she helped to support people she might not even have a chance to save; she was moved from her home to an underground bunker in 13; and yet still she moved onward, never gave up hope. Still she encouraged Katniss not to give in, even when it seemed Peeta might never recover.

In the end, though, it was something purely Prim which tied the whole package together and made Prim who she was; an insightfulness that allowed her to see to the heart of matters, when others were still reeling in confusion. It was her, after all, who realized that the president would keep Peeta alive in order to hurt Katniss; just as she was quick to look towards those known for telling the truth, generally ignoring those who she thought would sugarcoat things to comfort her.

In the end, it is generally these insights which will lead to Prim deciding who to trust; her recognition of motivation that will lead her to declare one person can be followed, and her understanding of whether someone will tell the truth which will lead to who she listens to. Further, just because she values the truth, doesn’t mean she’ll always tell it. Although she can be brutally honest, she utilizes her judgment on when. The truth about why the president would keep Peeta alive was a brutal one, after all – but it was one Katniss needed to hear; if only because Katniss couldn’t take any more people lying to her, or attempting to manipulate her.

Similarly, her mother – who had broken down at their father’s death, and who neither of them fully trusted not to break down again – was generally told no more than necessary by Prim. No more than she thought her mother could handle. Even her honesty, in the end, is tempered by her insight.

Despite her good qualities, however, Prim does not always make the right decision, at least by other people’s perspectives. In part, this may be because she doesn’t put herself first. When the Capitol threatened to bomb District 13 anew, for example, she ran to her rooms to get her cat Buttercup – and was almost locked out of the bunker as a result. Her response was simply that she couldn’t leave behind the cat again. Similarly, when she was given a chance to go into the field and help the wounded, Prim took it – never mind that she was only 13 years old herself, and still learning medicine. It wasn’t that she didn’t value her own life, of course – merely that her loyalty to her cat, and her compassion for the injured, outranked her own safety in her mind.

Character Plans: Her first step will be to find her sister, with luck, and hopefully bond with her.

Her second step is going to be to try and continue her education as a healer – perhaps trying to find some work at the hospital.

Appearance/PB: She’s played by Willow Shields – with blonde hair, and blue eyes; she stands at about 4’ 8;

First Person Sample
[Prim’s smile lights up when the com turns on at last - although it fades quickly when she turns to face the screen. Wherever she is – wherever that explosion sent her…]

Hello? [She hesitates; but if the Capitol sent her here, they already know who she is anyway. Most people did, anyhow.] My name is Prim. I’m looking for my sister; Katniss. She might be looking for me.

[She hesitates – but you can’t ask to get something for nothing, and respect a response. So.]

It wouldn’t have to be for free. I know a lot about herbs – I could help heal you; if you’re sick. Or pick out herbs for you.


Third Person Sample

Prim stirred faintly in her bed; pushing back the covers as she woke.

The room around her seemed empty; and big; and strange, still. She’d moved before, but not to a whole new world. It was different, somehow. Or maybe she was different. Knowing as she did what awaited her when she went back – light and sound and fire, and…

She pushed the thought out of her mind, closing her eyes a moment and forcing herself to relax before moving towards the window.

There was a familiar pull upon her form, as she felt herself condensing, arms shifting to tiny wings, body becoming steadily rounder as her clothes shifted to yellow feathers. Shaking her head, and feeling the weight of her beak, she fluffed herself out a moment before hopping to the window sill. Spreading her wings, she jumped –letting the air catch at her a moment before taking to the air.

She didn’t think she should be able to do that; she was flying nearly as fast as a full grown duck. Yet, she didn’t think she should be able to transform at all, so… She didn’t like to analyze it too much. She didn’t want to analyze anything at all; but she had to, sometimes. It was a dangerous place – even without the Darkness – but she was safe, for now, with the light back. She could already hear the other birds singing their calls of safety.

Tilting her wings, she flew towards them, wondering if they’d have any news. Failing that, maybe she’d find Rue. Either way, she knew she wasn’t sleeping again tonight. But with a new world laid out before her, maybe that wasn’t too bad.

Constructive critique is always appreciated. :) All comments welcome.
