Okay, originally District 8, but please, feel free to put her in any District. If she gets put in a career District, she won't ally with them.

Name: Zaskia Safier

District: 8

Age: 18

Personality: Zaskia is a bloodthirsty, irritating bitch who likes to keep to herself a lot. She never expresses her feelings with anyone, and only talks to members of her family, or when interviews roll around, if she's in the mood to. Zaskia hates socialising with others, and she's known as 'The Mysterious One' at school. She never talks to anyone, unless they get on her nerves. She's quite rude, and when she is talking, it's very offensive or just simply uncalled for. And one more thing, she's deadly, and ready to kill.

Appearance: Zaskia has crimson shaded eyes, light brown skin, and chocolate coloured hair. She has a slim but sturdy figure, and she's quite short for her age, probably the height of a 16 year old instead of an 18 year old. She has long, whirlpooling curls which coruscate in the sun, and her eyes stare into your soul. She usually wears a bit of candy floss pink lipstick, and she sometimes wears a bit of blush when she's feeling pretty.

Strengths: Zaskia is a very great climber, and can scale even the largest, slipperiest trees there are. She's also great sprinting, and even wins a few awards and medals for her fast running. Zaskia is stronger than most boys her age, being able to lift large dumbells and weights. Zaskia is a natural fighter, and was born a killer, picking up combat skills that will increase her odds in the games. Zaskia's weapons of choice are hatchets, being able to swing them with incredibly force, and throw them at very long distances, and she also works well with whips, due to her careful grip and powerful lash, this girl is a natural with them. Zaskia is great with leading, although she doesn't speak much, but if anything is coming her way, a tribute, a mutt, anything, she'll silent it with a swing of her hatchet, or a blow with her whip.

Weaknesses: Zaskia, coming from District 8, lacks more strengths than other districts, studding her with a few weaknesses. These weaknesses conclude of the ability of not being able to swim, due to District 8's lack of lakes and other types of water chambers. Zaskia has never been great with plant knowledge, with the population of plants being quite low in District 8. Zaskia also isn't very smart, and never has been an outstanding student in school due to her being stubborn and not picking up valuable facts teachers have flooded her with from a young age.

Fears: Zaskia doesn't really have any fears, only the fear of being killed in a gruesome way, knowing the fact that her family will be watching her, and will be witnessing this repulsive death that a tribute or the gamemakers plaster her with. Zaskia also has a fear of large animals, for example gigantic apes and humongous sharks, mainly something that could butcher her into pieces with razor sharp fangs or acuminous claws.

Backstory: Zaskia lives with her mother, and her two younger siblings, Zed, an 8 year old boy who loves spending time with Zaskia, and loves painting and drawing, and Zona, a 6 year old innocent, cheeky girl who loves Zaskia dearly. Zaskia's father had lost his life in an uprising in District 8, not only taking his life, but taking Zaskia's 23 year old brother Zamian. Zaskia was always a victim in school, being bullied most of the time. One day, Zaskia was on her way to school, when three malicious girls cornered her. Their names were Lona, Brooke and Cindy. Brooke pushed Zaskia to the ground. "Freak!" Brooke screeched in Zaskia's face, then stomped on Zaskia's gut, causing Zaskia to cough up blood. The other girls laughed, when Brooke stuck Zaskia again, this time in her nose. Zaskia got up from the ground, then wiped her nose. "Get back down you fucking whore!" Brooke howled, then ran at Zaskia. Zaskia side stepped quickly, causing Brooke to fall to the ground. Cindy charged Zaskia, then kneed her abdomen. Lona ran behind Zaskia, then started to tug Zaskia's hair. Zaskia was screaming for help, but when she saw Brooke advancing, she snapped. Zaskia broke free from Lona and Cindy, then grabbed a brick from the nearby rubble. Zaskia rushed towards Cindy, then clobbered the brick over Cindy's head. Cindy stumbled backwards, then fell to her knees, clasping her bleeding skull. Zaskia then threw the brick at Cindy, and it hit her neck, unlocking Cindy's throat, causing Cindy to fall flat on the ground. Zaskia swinged her fists down on Cindy, crushing her head, assuring that she was dead. Lona sprinted towards Zaskia, when Zaskia tore off her necklace and wrapped it around Lona's neck. Zaskia jerked the necklace towards her, which started to throttle Lona with a sickening dance. Lona fell to the ground. Zaskia lifted up Lona, then grabbed a nearby stone, which was quite sharp. Zaskia hacked off Lona's ears, then stabbed Lona in the temples four times on each temple, leaving only one girl left to kill. Brooke gasped as she saw Cindy's and Lona's corpses, she watched as their bodies floated around in the large puddles of blood. Brooke glared into Zaskia's red eyes, then charged. Brooke was equipped with a broken brick, then shattered it over Zaskia's head, causing a stream of blood to trickle from Zaskia's skull. Zaskia collapsed to her knees, then was sliced across the chest with a swipe of Brooke's lethal brick. The cut wasn't too deep, but it was enough for Zaskia to drop her stone. But, to Brooke's surprise, Zaskia quickly picked up the stone, and pinned Brooke against a nearby house. "I've been bullied by you for years, Brooke, years! I'm scared of speaking because of you! Because you found my weak spot! You're the reason I don't want to live!" Brooke snickered, then punched Zaskia in the chest, sending Zaskia lumbering backwards. "And now," Zaskia begins, blood cascading from her lips, "it ends." She finishes, and with that she lodges the stone through Brooke's throat, spiking in a hole in the once beautiful girl's neck. Zaskia tumbled to the ground, then started crying, causing the blood underneath her to mix with her own salty tears. A few hours later, teachers from the school found Zaskia and the three carcasses, and rushed Zaskia to hospital. Three years later, Zaskia was in her room, about to leave for the reaping, she was 18 now, and still remembered the attack, the attack that happened three years ago, when Zaskia was only 15 years old. Zaskia was then reaped, she appeared sad, but inside, she knew she could pull it off. She knew she could kill, if she could kill those girls, she could kill a bunch of weaklings, and she could win.

Token: Zaskia  has a small golden locked located in her hair, due to her mother adding on a brass curve to it allowing Zaskia to use it as a well secured hairclip, inside the locket, a picture of her family is found. A picture of her beautiful brothers, her gorgeous younger sister as a baby, her admirable parents side by side, and herself. Zaskia cries every time she looks at that photo, still confused that two of them were dead, and that one of them had changed completely, gone bloodthirsty, turned into something she didn't want to be. A killer.

Alliance: Zaskia would try making a big alliance during training, an alliance of other strong tributes who weren't from career districts, an alliance where they would try to take down the careers, and rule the arena themselves, they would be known as the Anti-Careers.

Bloodbath Plan: Zaskia would stand tall on her plate, letting the others know that she's going to dominate these games, letting them know that she's a force to be reckoned with, letting the other tributes know who exactly rules this arena, and finally letting them know who's the threat. When the gong rings out across the cornucopia, Zaskia would spring from her plate and quickly sprint for the gleaming, golden horn which held the best supplies, the best weapons, and other survival devices. First of all, she would get her hands on a weapon first, most likely a hatchet, and slaughter anyone who provokes her. She would then grab the heaviest backpack there is, then quickly search for anything else that grapples her attention. After retrieving everything she wants, if she has allies, she will scout out the area looking for them, and if she doesn't, she will rush into the scenery, never looking back.

Games Plan: Zaskia will set up camp in a place which is quite concealed, and doesn't seem too dangerous, somewhere where she can easily escape from, or find food and water resources nearby. For the rest of the games, she will stay hidden in the background, not really sticking out to the others, not really wanting everyone tracking her down. She would accept any invitations and request the gamemakers throw at her, knowing that it will earn her more supplies, or grant her with something she desperately needs. Once she has reached a small amount of tributes, she will start setting up traps and snares, any device that can kill any tributes, knowing that every dead tribute will bring her one step closer to home, and when the final battle rolls around, she will be deadlier than ever, and kill like she's never killed before. She will do absolutely anything to come home. Anything to see her beautiful mother, and her adorable brother and sister. Anything at all.
