Character Inventory: 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.
-Describe/link a picture to the single weapon that they have NO KNOWLEDGE on how to wield.
-State random/relatively useless item from their world.
Abilities: Natural abilities – healing. Prim's mother is a healer, and she taught Prim quite a bit. She's not a doctor, mind; she wouldn't be able to perform heavy surgery; but she knows a lot about herbs, how to treat wounds, and she has a steady hand when its needed most. She would make a good nurse if nothing else, and if you didn't have anyone else handy... well, if a novice had to perform surgery, she would probably do better than most. She 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 at Sirens Pull, if only for a few months. Not enough for any hefty training, especially since she was uninterested in fighting, but enough that she would have learned some very basic self defense, and built up at least a little muscle. She also knows how to perform basic rescue operations, such s saving people from buildings or helping them escape dangerous situations. Considering her distaste for hurting people and low physical strength, her abilities are geared more toward evasion than attack or even defense. When it comes to assault, her specialty would be finding escape routes and making her way decisively through them.
I would say she knows the basics of cooking, and how to take care of house. Her mother was supposed to take care of her when Katniss was away, but the simple truth is that her mother wasn't incredibly reliable. Prim undoubtedly helped out in the kitchen the same way she did with patients. Not a gourmet cook, but she won't burn water. 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, since when the game ended she kept her powers.
While Prim's transformation is arguably magical in nature, it follows very specific 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, however, recover these items without transforming back. (I'm not sure how the EVOC would work with this? Perhaps it would change size, or meld with the transformation, still functioning but not being visible.)
Woulds are transferred between forms, but are generally analogous – a small cut to the hand becomes a small cut on her wing, and keeps its ratio to the rest of her body, while a fatal wound to her human self would be just as fatal to a duckling, but change size to better match her new form.
She also has certain abilities in her transformed state that are not available to her as a human, and that would not be available to a duckling of her size: She can fly at 40 MPH (about the same speed as an actual grown duck); and she can communicate with animals, including humans – to a degree.
Specifically, she is capable of projecting telepathic communication; by default it is picked up by anyone within ten feet – though if desperate, she can stretch it out to fifteen or even twenty. It is lso *possible* for her to direct communication to a single person, but requires either a very close personal connection or (better yet) physical contact.
She can also receive telepathic communication from animals, but her abilities don't actually make animals smarter than they already are – unless the animal in question has human intelligence, all she can receive are the basic emotions and instincts of the animals nearby. She is also unable to pick up 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 – she begins a full transformation, and forces it to stop part way, which requires heavy concentration to hold. With a lot of practice she might be able to build on it, but currently she wouldn't be able to handle it more than a few seconds, and would be unlikely to manage any real use out of it other than simple anime-style visual gags.
Background Information:
Previous Game History:: http://thepull-mods.dreamwidth.org/1418.html and http://thepull-mods.dreamwidth.org/5024.html explain a bit about the world in general. However, Prim's life can'[t be understood just by looking at them.
Prim didn't get directly involved in a lot of what happened, 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.
See, when Prim originally came into Sirens Pull from the moment of the explosion that killed her. She saw it; wads aware of it. She spent the entire series fully ware that if she ever went back home she would be transported back to that moment and die. That, combined with the fact that one could come back to life within SP, led to Prim taking chances she might have otherwise been too scared to take. She was already dead, and she was scared, and she was terrified of crushing her sister with the news; so she channeled all her energy into trying to do good ,and tried very hard not to think about what would happen when it ended.
She wasn't much of a fighter, and to be honest she wasn't interested in becoming one. She joined as more a support staff, and a healer. She did do basic training with them, in particular running drills on how to save people from burning buildings and the like, but poured most of her effort into trying to read massive medical books. Which. Obviously wasn't enough to transform her into a doctor, but did help her further what healer knowledge she does have, and teach her how to recognize signs of certain illness, and some of the better treatments available. She didn't really go into action while the game was still around, so she still lacks a lot of personal experience, but she was well trained and she's still eager to help people. The biggest dividend, however, was her super hero Persona: The Duckling, and the bright cheerful costume it led to.
She made a few friends, primarily two merchants who thought they could merchandize her super hero persona. Due to OOC failure on the part of all muns involved, not much came of itbut it was still a significant thread that marked for Prim that people outside the titans were actually aware of her existence.
The biggest effect had to be the games ending. Everything broke lose. 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. She tried to do what she could for the people, to help them as much as she could, knowing that her chances of surviving the blast were very slim; but in the chaos of trying to defend against those creatures, she ended up inside the nexus, in the space between worlds. A space where she could choose to go home... or not.
Of course, she didn't really choose this world on purpose, obviously. But the point is, even if she escapes from here, she's no longer got a direct connection back to Panem. She has to wonder if she now has a chance of survival, and for the first time in a while she has a reason to think about her own well being.
Personality Description:
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; though it's true Katniss describes Prim as having been scared stiff of the woods in the first book, Prim seems to have shed such behavior by the third book – and, in truth, she was perhaps always stronger than Katniss gave her credit for. Prim is never 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 doesn't stare in terror at the blood. She helps treat their wounds with a steady hand, no matter how scared she might be on the inside.
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. Perhaps she embodies it even better than their fragile mother, who fell apart under stress while Prim and Katniss carried on. The diminutive blonde gives herself freely to those who need her, whether they be human or animal. Whether or not its in their best interest. She is the strongest voice of compassion in the family, wishing to take care of mangy bedraggled cat her sister sees as only another mouth to feed, nursing back to health a goat... that one they did make use of for her milk, but 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 the animals Katniss shot for dinner.
That doesn't mean Prim is entirely selfless, of course. She's still young, and 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. 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 it isn't so much that the animal had been shot that bothered Prim, as that it was in pain, and right in front of her. Prim's desire to help people can occasionally outweigh other 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 so 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, IF she suspected anything, it didn't stop her. She 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.
She was probably able to survive in there, the same way she survived in Panem - the “fight” that she received from Katniss, the ability to stand strong and keep moving forward for what she believed. That was just as integral as a level head when it came to surviving everything that happened. While we don't know exactly what befell Prim while Katniss ws away, a lot of it can be imagined.
First came the games. The fear she must have felt when she was called up as a tribute, could only have been matched by when Katniss volunteered. 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 their sole surviving parent was a fragile woman who caved in on herself when her husband died and left Prim and Katniss to fend for themselves. She 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 kept the family from starving, and Prim watched her sister be sent out to die – twice. Her mother promised to take care of Prim while Katniss was away, but Prim herself admitted that she knew better than to burden their mother with any truly sensitive info. She might have talked to Gale a little, but while he was providing food he also had his own issues watching Peeta and Katniss in their romance. Most likely she ended up keeping a lot of her feelings to herself in order to prevent burdening loved ones, who she didn't think could make it. Time hugging her cat, Buttercup, and milking her goat, Lady. Watching her sister struggle to stay alive on national television while the guards became more fierce and injuries became more common and starvation in those who didn't have winners in the family began to kick in.
Then when their home was bombed, she dealt with being moved into the scary forest to try and reach district 13, traveling in group without proper shelter, without any real guarantee there would be a place of safety at the end. We don't see it in the book, but we can imagine what she must have undergone just surviving without her rock of a sister, with just a mother who she could not rely on. Yet she survived. She didn't give up hope. She even encouraged Katniss to keep holding onto hope, when it seemed Peeta might not recover from his ordeals after being captured by the Capital. Instead of giving up, Prim grew up, becoming a little more thoughtful, and a little more insightful. She
That's actually the final piece that makes Prim who she is. Something purely hers that ties the whole package together: Insightfulnness. An insightfulness that allowed her to see to the heart of matters, when others are 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, but declared that they wouldn't dare to break a promise made to Katniss publicly, as she was the symbol of their rebellion. 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. The fact of the matter is, however, that Prim has shown herself quite capable of seeing to the heart of matters. 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, she wants to be able to help, and if she actually gets all the facts she's quite likely to come up with the right answer.
That said, while Prim would encourage a loved one, such as Katniss, to tell the truth, she wouldn't always return the favor. Her mother was proven to be fragile, as mentioned, and Prim herself said that even she knew better than to tell her mother everything. Her insightful nature, and her unwillingness to cause others harm, can lead to lies by omission when she feels they are necessary to prevent more damage. That's why she would also be unlikely to tell her sister about the explosion, or her death, unless forced to. It would cause pain and stress. Prim would rather bottle up her emotional upset than share the pain.
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 into affect. Even taking that into consideration, though, it's hard to argue the simple truth that she doesn't always take herself into consideration at all. This –
When the Capitol attempted to bomb District thirteen, and the sirens went off, and the bunker was being sealed, Prim did the unthinkable. This survivor, this girl who had trekked through the woods and watched her sister be sent off, ran back into her room to rescue her cat. She claimed that she couldn't bear to leave him behind again. Never mind that it nearly got her killed. Not to mention how she leaped on the chance to go treat soldiers on the front fields, and never mind that she was only a thirteen year herself, a novice at medicine. None of this is to say that she didn't value her own life. Just that her compassion and loyalty occasionally outweighs her common sense and prevents her from using her lauded level-headedness or insight/
Being taken to Sirens pull for a few months didn't directly change most of this. She joined a super heroes team despite not wanting to fight, after all. 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, but to be truthful 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.
The biggest impact was her canon point. She was taken from right in the middle of the explosion, right as she was dying. This insightful level headed girl had to remain strong as a result, scared to tell anyone the truth. That she was a dead woman walking. If she had been willing to put her own safety at risk before, she was doubly willing to do so when thinking she was doomed to die. Death in Siren's Pull was only temporary, after all, but death when she returned would be permanent.
Of course, with the game ended, her going into the nexus of the multiworlds, and her direct bond with Panem arguably being broken – with there being no reason to think she'd ever get sent back there, even if she managed to esscape 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 ill 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 super hero, and a healer. She would rather go to the aid of others than hide in a building and not make waves.

Death in Siren's Pull was only temporary, after all, but death when she returned would be permanent.
Of course, with the game ended, her going into the nexus of the multiworlds, and her direct bond with Panem arguably being broken – with there being no reason to think she'd ever get sent back there, even if she managed to esscape 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 ill 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 super hero, and a healer. She would rather go to the aid of others than hide in a building and not make waves.
