Amara Liavaris

> Amara rarely passed up an opportunity to appeal to the wealth of the Capitol's citizens and found security in alliances formed with her fellow tributes. In the end, both found her wanting.

> - Personal remarks of Archivist Immersfeld

As beautiful as she was lethal, Amara took the lives of many other tributes. Known best for her intricate tattoo, Amara's style and personality helped her stand out from her competitors. Having been taught fashion at a young age, Amara came from a comfortable upbringing. Her Elven nature seemed to fill her with a love of nature, however, making her quite unlike many in her District. Amara's smart tactics and cutthroat attitude helped her greatly in the arena, helping her to achieve third place in the first Hunger Games, making many of her peers in District 8 very proud.

## Character Bio

### Appearance

Amara was a beautiful, somewhat short Elven woman with pale skin, blue eyes and auburn hair that flowed down to her shoulders. Her clothes were usually likewise a work of art, generally matching or complementing the color of her hair. Amara's interview dress had actual autumn leaves braided into it.

### Character History

#### Childhood

Amara hailed from District 8, which specializes in the production of textiles and clothing, While still interested in fashion, the wily youth quickly began to forge her own path. From a young age, it was apparent that she loved nature and was known to frequent the forests surrounding the District. This is where she obtained the survival skills that helped her throughout the Games.

#### Adolescence

> I am not some scared child.

Amara's adolescence seemed to come to an end the day she was reaped. Shortly before leaving her District, the elf received her trademark forehead tattoo. This tattoo was designed to represent her two loves: nature and fashion.

## Preparing For The Games

### Interview

When Amara took the stage to greet Caesar, gasps were heard from the studio audience. She shared with Mr. Flickerman her interests in nature and fashion and explained that they were the inspiration for her forehead tattoo (a tree with needles as tips). Upon questioning, she revealed that she did not know her District mate well. This is relatively unsurprising in retrospect, as Amara's independence streak can be traced as far back as her days roaming the District 8 forests. As her interview winded down, she appealed to potential sponsors as an underdog, an approach that did not seem to go unnoticed.

> To my supporters: every little bit of support helps. I won't be able to get far without you.

> - Amara

### Time in the Training Grounds

Once in the Training Grounds, Amara became close with fellow tribute and eventual winner Ifan. She found herself caught up in the drama between Ifan and Zerlina, though she attempted to stay out of direct conflict. As the tributes' time in the Training Grounds went on, Zerlina became more aggressive and threatening towards Amara, essentially pushing her further into a solid alliance with Ifan and his friends. When the time came to test her skills, she focused on displaying her mastery of Eldritch Magic, as well as her ability to survive in the wilds. The judges were sufficiently happy with her performance and she was given an impressive score of 7.4 (seventh best among tributes).

## During The Games

### Bloodbath

Amara's first move during the Bloodbath was to apparently inspect the anti-magic fields present. After this, she teleported in order to secure a component pouch. She then quickly used some of these components to attack an Entangled Zerlina, blasting her with a Scorching Ray. After several more exchanges (including a surprise revival from Zerlina), Amara was eventually able to knock down her opponent and opened an opportunity for Ifan to finish off their rival.

### Day 1

> My fans, my friends, my family: I won't let you down.

> - Amara

Following the Cornucopia encounter, Amara began traveling with the group known as Ifan's Angels. Their first goal was to eliminate Lane, who they knew to be traveling alone. After they found Lane, Lithuana attempted to establish contact with him, but words were meaningless in the ensuing chaos. Lane eventually escaped into the forest, avoiding the party's attack. Amara was an important contributor during the battle of The Lifespring. Using her Eldritch magic to defend her group, she injured the would-be ambushers. It was she who had the honor of killing the man who betrayed her group: Alexander.

### Day 2

After the long first day, the party needed rest. Following an uneventful night, the Angels decided to return to the Cornucopia to restock on resources. Ettezroc and Lithuana ventured into the rain to hunt down beasts, which Amara and the others in her group found suspicious. The group eventually left the Cornucopia after a brief wait and located the duo of Steve and Beef using Amara's owl familiar. After a short but confusing fight (in which Amara finished off fan favorite Beef), the group approached the East Bridge. Deciding it may be a good idea to camp out under it, they quickly discovered they were not the only ones with that idea. Their foes were Cefrey and Betha Celeste from District 12, both of whom were eliminated by the trio. The three tributes then took a rest to recover after an intense day.

### Day 3

The following day was an eventful one for the group, as the trio stepped through a portal and, after a healthy discussion and some amount of mistrust, reunited with Ettezroc and Lithuana at the Temple of the West Wind. Here, the reunited Ifan's Angels and the Last Dragon had their intense encounter with Szosa, followed shortly by a difficult battle against a Couatl. After leaving the Temple victorious, the group trekked eastward into a bug-infested bog before attempting to rest for the night in very uncomfortable conditions.

### Day 4

Day four began with a terrible surprise. The group was awakened as their camp began to shake and quickly discovered that the disturbance was caused by a Dragon Turtle, a creature that quickly brought a tragic end to both Ettezroc and Lithuana. Following this close call, the remaining three retreated in the direction of the temple. They stopped once more out of exhaustion before continuing towards the temple. Amara and her friends then searched the rest of the temple for a way to return to the center island. With no luck, they remained near the ruins without incident.

### Day 5

After the trio had recovered fully, they planned their next move. After deciding to head northeast, Amara was hit by a near lethal collection of lightning bolts, causing the group to change its strategy. As they traveled, Amara's alliance encountered another portal. Leaping in without fanfare, they found themselves face to face with a massive tree. The group pursued Lane (controlled by an Aboleth at the time) into the tree. After an intense combat, Amara dealt the finishing blow on their prey, leaving Lane dying as the trio fled the tunnels under the tree. Yet one more portal appeared behind the group after their escape and they were informed that they were required to step through by daybreak the following day.

### Day 6

On the final day, the group conversed about strategy briefly before stepping through. All three expressed feelings of friendship (though Amara did admit to considering killing them in their sleep). Before stepping through, Amara carved out the following words in the soil:

> Together despite all odds.
>
> - Amara's final words before stepping into the portal

Ifan's Angels tried their best to outsmart the Gamemasters, even digging a tunnel, but were foiled at each turn. It was Amara who first initiated the combat, teleporting next to Ifan. She was pushed into the damaging field that surrounded the Cornucopia and was badly injured. After attacking and failing to hit Ifan, Amara teleported through the damaging barrier, before becoming Entangled by Ifan. She remained outside of the barrier, slowly being drained of her life force. Amara stood strong until she was hit by a Moonbeam from Ifan.

### Death

As Amara's moments on this Earth came to a close, with her struggling to maintain her consciousness, she witnessed Thyra burst into flame. Ifan then calmly approached and, seeing her in such pain, relieved her of her pain with a shot from his deadly crossbow.

## Trivia

The Infernal words spoken as Amara died expressed an intention to return. Although the Panem Archive is not permitted to speak on behalf of the Gamemakers, it is nevertheless a prospect we would look forward to with no small amount of glee.
