Pharmacy Rivera

Age: 16

District: 9

Gender: Female

Appearance:



Weapons: Throwing knives

Personality: Pharmacy is a tough, independent person with a lot of backbone. She doesn´t take bullshit from anyone or anything, she is free-spirited and wants room to do what she wants. She is feisty and rude towards people who look down on her rough type of lifestyle. Pharmacy likes a challenge, even if it could kill her she loves the thrill and rush of surviving. Pharmacy is a rather practical person, she prefers the sharp point of her throwing knives to speak louder than her words. She can be somewhat friendly towards people that thinks like her, but it is more of a I-respect-you thing than acual friendship. Pharmacy has never had something you could call a proper friend. She isn´t to be trusted and values riches over humans any day of the week. She likes to make her own fortune, by theft and force. Pharmacy´s moral is broken, she won´t care who she destroys on her way to her goal. If you´re in her way, you better pray she is in a good mood. Deep inside however, beneath the tough and feisty outside, Pharmacy is a person of extreme loneliness. She feels it clawing at her every day, the fact that she has nobody who she can love, and nobody who loves her.

Backstory: Pharmacy has been brougth up on her own, which is how her independent personality has blossomed. She has never had anyone to love her or take care of her, only her own intuition and spirit. She was born as the only daugther of Cynthia and Mich Rivera in the poorest, dirtiest and most run-down part of their District. Cynthia and Mich were both addicted to the drug morphling, their skin sogging off their bones and their eyes like large, yellow dinner plates, they were not much of any parents really. They died when Pharmacy was very young, one day she just found them there, their hands linked with a large needle injected in each of their arms. She was only ten at the time, but from then on, Pharmacy was on her own. She had to stand on her own two legs and try to make a living, which was very hard for her. She had to endure police brutality, disease upon disease, intense hunger  and people trying to mug her or rape her or both every day of her childhood. But she never gave up, and after years of hard work, she could finally afford school when she was fourteen years old in addition to food. She earned her money dishonest though, most of it came from burglary, multible scams and street robbery. It was neccesary, but also fun, at least Pharmacy though so. Slowly and steadily she build up a fortune on stolen goods and cash, and she rose up to what she is now. One of the richest and most mysterious people in her District, with no friends or family. But the life on the rich side quickly grew boring for Pharmacy, she missed the excitement and adrenaline rush of fighting for survival. So she volunteered for the Hunger Games, with glee and joy. Some might call her crazy, but the risk and reward of the Hunger Games intriques Pharmacy. She wants to pass the ultimate test of life.

Strengths: Pharmacy is very good at stealthing and moving undetected around, a skill she has picked up during all her years out on the streets. She is also a great shoot at the throwing knives, as well as a decent malipulator.

Weaknesses: Pharmacy has never learned to swim, which will be a great weakness for her if she is faced with water in the Games. She is also not good in close range combat and needs a good bit of distance to be effective in battle.

Alliance: Either Careers or by herself

Token: Nothing
