Name:Karla Flake

Age: 16

District: 3

Appearance: Above

Personality: Karla has Aspergers Syndrome so is very shy and she finds it very hard to make friends. Her Aspergers makes her very smart and logical and is the smartest person in her school year. She likes to to activity's which involve a problem, but she HATES it when she can't finish something and then gets very upset. She isn't that good at trusting people because she was bullied at school for having Aspergers, but when she does trust someone she is very loyal to them. Also, she doesn't understand concepts like sarcasm or blackmail and can say things which makes other people angry. She can also be outgoing and determined; she will never give up something until she realizes its impossible. She can also be manipulated and exploited very easily because she doesn't know what thet are actually doing to her.

Weapon Of Choice: A Knife

Alternate weapons: She can only use a knife

Reaping: She volunteered to save Tabby because she didn't want to see her die and partly because she didn't know what she was doing.

Strengths: Her Aspergers Syndrome makes her very intelligent so she can figure problems out easily. Also, she can figure things out in her mind, like where to hide, or who to trust.

Weaknesses: When she starts something she MUST finish it or she will get upset. Her Aspergers makes it hard for her to communicate with new people and to make new friends. When she gets scared or upset she will start to rock forwards and backward until someone calms her down.

Alliance: People who are kind and friendly and that accept her condition.

Token: A locket with a picture of her mum, dad, brother, sister and dog on the left and a picture of her carer Davina on the right and her red gloves she has had all her life, that she doesn't take off but was forced to during the tribute parade and she started to get upset and sat down of the chariot and was comforted by her district partner.

Interview angle: Shy, kind and logical.

Bloodbath Strategy: Her alliance member told her to run the the outside of the bloodbath to wait for him/her or another alliance member. She would NEVER run into the cornucopia because the careers scare her.

Games Strategy: She will stay with her alliance because she is scared to be by herself, she won't kill anyone unless if someone kills a alliance member and then tries to kill her, but she will severely injure someone if the try to hurt her. If everyone in her alliance dies then she will wander around the arena until she finds someone who is kind to her, but if she can't find anyone she will hide and wait until someone finds her, even if the are "kind or nasty"

Reasons for winning: To prove that people that have Aspergers or Autism can do things just as well as people who don't have it. And, obviously, to see her family, her best friend Tabby and Davina (her carer) again.

Back-story: When she was 4 she was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome which made it very hard for her to make friends, but also made her very smart and logical. When she was 9 she told her two best friends that she had Aspergers and they told everyone in the school and she was tormented for it. She is a excellent drawer and artist and people sometimes take advantage of her for it, when she was in school a girl saw her drawings and wanted to sell them, she agreed because she was forced and when her drawing got sold, the girl kept all the money and ran off. That and the tormenting completely destroyed her trust in everyone except her family but her parents friend Davina, that Karla had known for her entire life, was a carer and helped out and mentored Karla through out her school life, making it much easier for her. When she was 11 a girl came up to her and started calling her all sorts of names like 'retard' and 'spastic', this made Karla very upset but another girl called Tabby came up to Karla and asked why she was upset, and when she told her she hugged her, and Karla hugged her back, then Tabby went over to the girl that called Karla names and she punched her right in the face, breaking her nose and cracking 3 teeth. This made Karla trust and like Tabby and they have been friends ever since. At the reaping when she was 16, Tabby got reaped and Karla started to cry and get upset so she volunteered because she was her only friend and she didn't want to lose her.
