Name: Ella Mangolia

District: 11

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Weapon: Machete and Throwing Knives

Strength: Observing, Stealth, Extreme Intelligence, Endurance. (Sorry it's more than 2!)

Weakness: hand to hand, accepting help.

Fears: Never seeing her dad again, the careers.

Appearance: Will make a Lunaii in a few minutes.

Personality: Ella has always been different. She is calculating, judging, and everyone is convinced she is mad. Since she doesn't like to talk a lot, she watches people and learns their abilities. Most people don't realize/recognize how smart she is. The only person that can see her sweet side is her dad. She is bubbly, happy, and sweet around him. She's not really that cold, angry girl that most people think she is, it's just her protection against the world.

Backstory: Before she started kindergarten, Ella's mom was hit by a tractor, where she developed severe brain trauma. Nobody knew, since it was a closed head injury until she got home that night and stabbed Ella in the face with a knife. Ella and her mom were taken to the hospital, where it was discovered that her mom wasn't mentally stable after having brain damage. Using Capitol medicine, most of the scar was erased. But a small line is still there, and when she started school, Ella was very afraid of the other kids, thinking they may attack her the same way. That continued on for a couple of years, with Ella only having her dad for positive emotional support. Ella didn't talk much, also believing that other kids would bully her if they knew of what happened to her. She didn't talk to people, she just watched, and became extremely intelligent and stealthy from it. She would often go home and just cry, not knowing what to do. Most people thought she was crazy, cold, and mean. But nobody except her dad knew the truth about the scar her mother gave her, the fact that it made her untrusting, and scared, and that's why she isn't social.

Reaction when reaped: Walks up to the stage quietly and swiftly and glares at a kid who snickers. She turns back and sees her dad crying, and suddenly she bursts into tears. A lot of the kids that go to her school are shocked, because they never thought she was capable of that. When she gets to the stage she takes the microphone away from the escort and says "Daddy, I love you... I'll, I'll try to come h-home..." The crowd is moved and begins to softly chant "Ella Ella Ella!"

What to do in private session: Take a rope and hang a dummy. Grab 2 throwing knives and use one to sever the rope holding the dummy up, then throw the other knife into the dummies stomach as it falls. Ella then should grab a net, trap the dummy, then take a machete and chop the dummy to pieces.

Interview Angle: Talk about how everyone thinks she's evil, but actually, after her mom attacked her, she became fearful and traumatized. She talks about how she wishes the Capitol would understand her pain. Also she says "I want to win, for my dad. Through these hard years, he was the only person there for me."

Bloodbath/Games Strategy: During the bloodbath, only get something right in front of her, and flee into an area, preferably a forest. She will climb a tree and spy on tributes like the careers, or a large alliance, and if she has throwing knives kill someone, and if they're alone stay there if they're in an alliance flee by climbing through the trees. Also, Ella would like to avoid any direct confrontation with tributes, especially the careers.

Token: Her dads wedding ring.
