VIRIDIA MARS ✦ 64 ✦ CAPITOL CITIZEN ✦ TAKEN
"I’m the reason why they sleep with one eye open."
Viridia has always been an observant girl. Growing up, she knew all the secrets surrounding her friends, her teachers, even her parents— dirty and clean. She didn’t even ask around, she simply watched and listened. Being the daughter of socialites, she too grew up to be a socialite, which made using her skill all the more easier. Every weekend, there was a party, and every night during the Hunger Games, there were multiple parties.
Her skill proved to be useful when she found herself hanging around the “wrong kind of people” as her father called them. She found out secrets here and there about those working high up in the Underground, as it seemed to be called. With what she knew, she worked her way up without ever becoming a henchwoman and having to touch a gun. Instead, she threatened to leak this secret and that to get her way. Soon, she was the right hand woman to the crime lord at the time.
Then Cricket Bondurant worked his way up, as she did only he touched the gun. He wasn’t afraid to kill. All the while, Viridia kept her eyes on him— and no matter who she talked to, she couldn’t for the life of her find anything out on the young man. She admired it and reached out to him, offering a deal. She’d let him get close to the current lord of the Underground and kill him, and she’d be his right hand woman. The two sealed the deal, the events happening two months after.
She was content with Cricket at the helm for the time being, as things changed rapidly around them. She was his eyes and ears in the social world, relaying all the information she knew about everyone to Cricket each night she was at a party.
It wasn’t until recently when something snapped inside of her. She was simply not satisfied with how he ran the Underground anymore and she was tired of living in his shadow. So, one by one, she offed the other officers that were close to Cricket until it was just her and a few others left. Then one day while he was taking a bath, she walked in and brought a knife to his throat. That was the day Viridia Mars became the lord of the Underground.
Now, she runs it with an iron fist, though she keeps that life and her social one entirely separate.
