Name: Primrose Everdeen Fandom: The Hunger Games – books, not movie Gender: Female Age: 13 (Noting on the app that it does ask for suitability for a character under 14 – I will simply say that Prim's canon involved quite a few difficulties, from near-starvation at times, to nearly being sent to fight to the death; she also spent time in a game where monsters came out each night to try and kill anyone they could. 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.
A change of clothing – just a small pink blouse and a long flowing blue skirt The jumpsuit everyone gets!.
Abilities: Her natural abilities include: healing. Prim's mother is a healer, and she taught Prim quite a bit. She's not a doctor, of course. She wouldn't be able to perform heavy surgery, for example, but she does knows a lot about herbs. She knows how best to treat wounds, and she has a steady hand when its needed most. She did work as a nurse in district 13 – and was training toward her dream job of being a doctor. So if you didn't have anyone else handy... well, if a novice had to perform surgery, she would probably do better than most. That iisn't to say I envy your chances, though.
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 long 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, so she isn't as delicate as Katniss once called her. She 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 assault, 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 her, 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 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 EVOC 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, being 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 form. 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, she 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 when in duckling form, 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 instinct-based responses of the animals nearby. A general sense that something is scared, or hungry, or about to pounce, for example. She is not 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 – she begins a full transformation, and forces it to stop part way, which requires heavy concentration to hold. She could build on this with practice, but currently she won'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.
REVISIONS AS REQUESTED -
Primrose's partial transformations are limited to her duckling form, much like the full thing. 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 transformation starting as a wing and spreading across the rest of her form.
In a normal case, the transformation is near instantaneous. In these partial transformations, she focuses on halting the transformation right at the start. She has to maintain her focus on pausing it, and preventing herself from either continuing to transform or changing back.
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 companions, though it would require a great deal more practice than she has had.
She 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. -

A change of clothing –
