Eltara Vetirata

Eltara Vetirata was the female District Two Tribute for the Twenty-fifth Hunger Games and First Quarter Quell.
== Games Description ==
Arena: Bombed-out wasteland
Eltara was elected to participate in the Games because she was the chosen female volunteer for District Two. Had she not been elected, she would have volunteered.
As one of very few genuine Career Tributes in the Quarter Quell, Eltara dominated the Games from the start. She quickly found her weapon of choice, a sickle, in the Bloodbath and killed Ruby D'Arcy of District One and Taylor Nettle of District Eight.
In the first few days in the Arena, Eltara functioned as the leader of the Careers. While she did not make any more kills of her own, she planned the alliance's attacks and movements and regulated the pack's more unpredictable members.
Eltara likely would have made it to the finale of the Games, had it not been for a fire that blew up in the Arena. Eltara, untrained in navigation and prone to getting lost, was unable to find her way out of the fire and died of smoke inhalation six days in the Games.
== Placing ==
9th
== Personality ==
Eltara was a professional and calculating Career. She entered the Games to win, but not to promote unnecessary suffering or grandstanding. She made her kills quickly and neatly. On several occasions she chided allies for needlessly inflicting pain on Tributes, and killed Ruby D'Arcy because her District partner Nero Augustus had crippled the young woman and was torturing her.
Throughout the Games, Eltara said little and kept to herself when not guiding her alliance. She had no close connection to any of her allies and did not fear their inevitable split.
== Trivia ==
* Eltara's token was a makeup compact containing red eyeshadow, given to her by her mother
* Eltara may not have been selected as volunteer if she had not injured her biggest competition, Vixen MacLeod, in a sparring session.
* It has been speculated by Capitol doctors that Eltara may have been dyslexic.
