Some more backstory for Carmen:

In her games (the 100th games), two people weren't reapped in each games, but two families were reapped, and any kid tat was part of that family (Ages from 1-17) was put into the games. Luckilly, Carmen was an only child, but her best friend, Ryan Trulak, was reapped with his three brothers. She was very scared at first, because in total of the games, there was 100 contestants, and the careers were bigger than ever, with 20 contestants being from districts 1, 2, and 4. She had a small alliance with Ryan, and his the brothers, Alex, Josh, and Tim. She learned that she had some skill with a blowdart, and Ryan had skill with a bow and arrow. When the games began, she quickly fled from the cornicopia with Ryan and two backpacks. After the first night, She learned all three of Ryan's brothers died in the bloodbath. This sent him in a fit of rage, and was ready to kill everyone in his path, and did actually kill some people, with Carmen watching in horror as her best friend slipped into insanity. After he found them on day 7, they all killed Ryan and sadly, Carmen saw how her best friend was murdered right in front of her. After his death, Carmen picked up his bow and arrows and her blowgun. She vowed vengence on all 20 living careers, and did not kill any other useless tribute, and waited in her and Ryan's lake where they hid. When it came to the final 21 on day 10, she quickly killed each career one by one, like a killer in horror film. When it was down to her and the boy from 1, who was the only other child with no sibling in the games, and who also called for the murder of Ryan, she was sabbed in the stomach by him. However, when he thought he won, she pulled out Ryan's bow and arrows, and shot him in the heart, killing him instantly before he coud even react.
