IS A GHOST REALLY A GHOST IF IT lives inside your still beating heart ? you’re stronger than you look , a resilience that’s rooted deep inside bone marrow , passed down from all those before you that defied the odds , that survived in a world that wanted them dead . you’ve starved and you’ve shattered and you’ve been buried but still you rise . maybe that’s the strength you draw from when you look the other tributes in the eye , the part of district twelve that will always be with you , that raised you , shaking and fragile but still standing even after the worst of it . if you could carry on after cornith , you can carry on through this .
02 . ❝ does my muse have any ‘ unusual ’ habits , interests , and / or talents ? do they hide it , or are they proud of it ? ❞
FOREST NYMPTH , THE ANIMALS ARE CALLING TO YOU . perhaps it was learned and not something entirely innate , the way you can listen to the sound of the wilderness like it’s whispering secrets into open ears . nevertheless it’s yours , something you take ownership of , when the doves wings flap and you can tell which way the wind blows , when the prints left cold in the dirt guide you like a compass . wild thing , a wolf pack that howls inside your belly . people are animals too , and the worst of them all . it’s best you not forget .

❝ how much does my muse value companionship ? do they constantly keep people around them , or do they prefer to be alone often ? do they have or desire to have many friends ? do they see every meeting as an opportunity to make a new friend ? ❞
TIGHT BONDS FORGED IN FIRE , compressed coal until you’re left with glistening diamond , as rare as it is true . life in the seam was difficult on everyone . it left little room for making enemies , little room for worrying about anyone but the hungry mouths of your siblings , your parents who return more ragged and worn each day . you wondered in your sleep how they could do it . how they could CARRY ON . it was family that held you together , with tight grips that promised to never let you go . there will be no comfort in the capitol . there will be no trust . you’re headed into the heart of the dragon that slayed your sister . no one can replace what is already lost . it’s funny how fickle the human heart can be , when strangers smile upon you and you can’t help but smile back .
❝ how would my muse describe their childhood ? how much has it impacted the person they are now , or will become as an adult ? around what age did they or will they start to mature , and why ? do they wish to go back to their days as a child , or have they embraced adulthood ? ❞
IS YOUTH INNOCENCE OR IGNORANCE ? pine and oak , ash and soot . ripe purple berries and sticky fingers . you try not to remember choking on dust , the rumble in your belly , cornith . you’ve been told adversity makes you strong , but all you feel anymore is rage . you still close your eyes and remember your brother , running back to you , unrecognizable , tanned skin colored with loss . how could anything be the same without your sister ? how could a table stand with only two legs ? there’s nothing you want more than the ripe purple berries and the sticky fingers . hunting in the pine , hiding in the oak . brushing lilting limbs with charcoal , war paint . where’s your war paint now ?
“What would it be like to die here? What do you want to be when you rot? I want flowers seeping out of my jaw, snaking around my bones. I want something to grow out of me.”

( KRISTINE FROSETH , CIS FEMALE , SHE / HER . ) introducing karma oren , TRIBUTE of the 74th hunger games , representing district twelve . my sources say that they are twenty - two years old , & that they’re pretty handy with hunting / tracking and a slingshot . wonder if that will do them any good in the arena ?
catapults this intro out into the world like it’s been shot from kar’s slingshot . hey everyone !! i’m alli , she / her in the cst and i’m absolutely obsessed with this group . seriously , it’s everything i didn’t know i needed and i’m so excited to be here .
AESTHETICS :
dirt stained clothing that hangs off a too slender frame . large doe eyes filled with worry , with dread , with determination . silent screams , the red string of fate dangling just out of reach . PINTEREST .
GENERAL :
full name ; karma pepperdine oren
age / dob ; twenty - two , september 9th .
zodiac ; virgo
gender ; cis female
pronouns ; she / her
district ; twelve
occupation ; awaiting work in the mines , tribute
face claim ; kristine froseth
sexuality ; demi
weapon of choice ; a slingshot
BACKGROUND :
born in the seam of the poorest , least advantaged district of TWELVE , karma has struggled for most of her life . she has a brother , pick , born six years her senior , and a now deceased younger sister , who was named cornith .
her parents are both miners , and it was always expected of the oren children that they would follow in their parents footsteps . pick works in the mines presently alongside them , and karma full expected to join them in just three years .
the three oren siblings were always particularly close , spending most of their childhoods exploring the alpine terrain of their unimpressive district . the children would often pretend to hunt and track game in the woods near their home , armed with only slingshots , though they never actually killed . rule followers , they feared the peacekeepers who ran their district with iron fists .
karma was an extremely fearful child , often led through life by her far more outgoing brother . though the idea made her sick , she would sometimes tell herself he would bode well in the games , if he were ever reaped .
she wasn’t well known around the district , and she had very few friends . she has watched one close acquaintance die in the games before , her neighbor mint , who was reaped for the 70 th games .
death tw ; she often found herself left behind by her more adventurous siblings , including the day that molded her into the tribute she is today . pick and cornith went too far in the woods , tracking the hoof prints of an elk . they didn’t know about the electric fence that outlined the district , held them captive . cornith perished .
this was four years ago . pick and karma don’t talk about it , but karma experienced real anger and grief for the first time . what had once been feelings of mistrust evolved intro a fierce hatred for the capitol . like caged animals , with no where to put the ferocity , karma took to illegal hunting , pick to the mines .
this was life until the 74 th reaping . is karma ready for everything to change again ?
for tributes ; unlikely allies ?? she definitely fears and despises the careers going into these games . i think it would be a really interesting dynamic to have an alliance with one or a few of them due to a surprisingly closeness during training . doomed romance ?? i’m such a sucker for the angst that this plot allows .. seriously obsessed . love to yearn and crave and all of those richard siken adjectives . they know likely one or both of them will die . enemies ?? on either end , or mutual . on sight or due to their interactions in training . bred from jealousy or stereotyping of the districts . anything that would lend to bad blood in the arena . betrayal ?? friends in training who will turn on each other come game time . sad and dramatic , soap opera esque twist .
for victors / stylists / game makers / escorts , capitol citizens , etc . ; those who underestimate her ?? they look down on her small stature , the fear in her eyes , the district that raised her . she’s something feral to them . a sure death . could bring pity or disgust . allies ?? they see some sort of fire in her , some sort of something . or maybe they just really , really pity her and they want to give her all the help she can get . friends ?? maybe someone to help her navigate the capitol , to calm her nerves .
for district citizens ; i know this one will be harder to plot , but maybe anyone whose visited twelve ?? i’m not sure why anyone would , perhaps for work or illegal trading . a strange run in , and now they see the small and timid girl they met in the hob on tv , preparing for a fight to the death .
anything else ; i love to fill connections and my brain is small so let me know what you’re craving and i’m so excited .
