Velia

Velia is a District 5 tribute in the 125th Hunger Games, as portrayed in Hunger Games: Bleeding Hearts. She is one of the least-mentioned tributes, having very little plot significance.
===Pre-Games===
Velia is first seen on the first day of training. She is present in an elevator that transports tributes from their suites to the Training Center. She is the first into the elevator, along with her District partners, Carlo and Seffie. When Lacie, Soren, and Wade from District 4 enter, Lacie notes that Velia is being excluded by Carlo and Seffie, who were dating prior to being Reaped. Because Carlo and Seffie already have a connection, Velia serves as a third wheel and is left without allies as a result.
In the elevator, Velia comes in contact with the District 2 tributes: Orion, Murray, and Ada. Ada refuses to enter the elevator with the impoverished tributes, Velia included, and takes the stairs instead. Lacie notes that Velia is particularly aggravated by Ada, indicating that she may have a temper.
When the Training scores are announced, Velia earns a 3, lower than both of her District partners. She receives one of the lowest scores. Her score is on-par with Wade, Angelica, and Zea; only Nelly scores lower than her.
Other than her scene in the elevator, Velia is not seen otherwise, including during Training or during her Interview, until the beginning of the Games.
=== The Games===
====The Bloodbath ====
Velia is the first tribute to be killed in the Bloodbath. She entered the Arena along a single pathway leading to the pathway, and she had to share her pathway with Maisy and Felix. Seconds after the Games began, Felix grabbed Velia and threw her into the Ultimate Solvent, where her body was instantly melted by the corrosive poison.
Although Velia was the first tribute to die in the Bloodbath, she was not the first tribute to die; Wade jumped from his pedestal before the Games began. Velia placed 35th of the 36 tributes as a result.
===Post-Death===
Velia is only mentioned once following her death, by Carlo. He explains that after her death in the Bloodbath, both him and Persephone were reminded that District 5 tributes are not good fighters, and they hid as a result. This may indicate that Velia's death is what allowed the pair, especially Persephone, to live as long as they did.
