Aurora

> No amount of attunement with nature exempts a tribute from their own physical needs. Aurora proves that even a Druid is no exception to this rule.

> - Personal remarks of Archivist Immersfeld

Aurora was a bright-spirited, independent woman from District 6. Eager and self-sufficient, her story post-Reaping is a sad one. After becoming sick following her interview with Caesar and missing her Evaluation, Aurora lost favor among many Capitol sponsors. Easily recognizable by her trademark antlers, Aurora was certainly a sweet young woman but was faced with one final obstacle that she was unable to overcome. She was full of a fighting spirit that was never able to come to fruition during the Games.

## Character Bio

### Appearance

Aurora was a relatively short and scrawny girl, with wild, chestnut hair, tanned skin, relatively sharp teeth, and wooden antlers. She appeared fairly young, barely an adult, and wore clothes made out of fur and cloth straps. This look complemented her...organic..appearance and made apparent that she hadn't been living a very comfortable or civilized life.

#### Childhood

> - Aurora explaining the origin of her antlers

Growing up in District 6 was difficult for young Aurora. Having no interest in her District's transportation industry, she stuck to the small forests and pockets of trees where she felt at home. Having been born with a small set of antlers, she was picked on through childhood. Her parents died during a small illegal and unprovoked uprising, leaving her to fend for herself from a young age.

#### Adolescence

After the death of her parents, Aurora became something of a street urchin. She would use her Druidic powers to do small tricks and illusions to earn a meager living via donations from strangers. She developed quite the accent as she grew older and although she was small and innocent looking, she became gruff in her own way. Upon her reaping, Aurora wrote in her diary that she was relieved to finally leave her gloomy District.

## Preparing For The Games

### Interview

An interview that was cut short, Aurora was able only to converse with Caesar Flickerman about her antlers before falling ill on stage and being escorted back to her quarters.

### Time in the Training Grounds

After her illness post-interview, Aurora was not seen or heard from until the Games began. She was even forced to skip her Evaluation, which led her to a score of 4.0, which was subsequently the lowest among all tributes. It is postulated that the sickness she contracted in the Capitol may have been the same, dysentery, that was her eventual demise in the arena.

## During The Games

### Bloodbath

Aurora was among the first tributes to flee the Cornucopia, perhaps lacking staying power due to her illness, and was able to escape unpursued to the northeast.

### Day 1

Aurora struggled to forage for food and supplies after leaving the Cornucopia as she was hampered by her illness and unfamiliar with the strange terrain of the arena. She was unable to locate adequate food and worse still, her illness denied her sleep and placed an untenable demand on her for hydration. Unable to relocate and having failed to impress sponsors, the day ended with her fate already sealed.

**Day 2**

Please consult with your local Medical Practitioner for more information regarding the late stages of dysentery.

### Death

Aurora's death was deeply unpleasant and not in the least bit entertaining.

## Trivia

In a post-Games autopsy, it was determined that Aurora's illness was caused by an acute bioethic reaction. Research has been closed on the disorder and official recommendations have been made to the Office of the Gamemaster. Appropriate accommodations have been made.

Did you know? Several varieties of parahumanoid are capable of growing horns. Most have no bioethic response whatsoever.

Diagnosed with acute bioethics? Please confer with a Government Official, who will ensure that you receive the correct accommodations.
