Garnette Dumbey

Garnette Dumbey was the Female Tribute from District 1 at the 1st Annual Sims Hunger Games.

She manages to reach day 4 (the last day of this games), but she dies when the Female Tribute from District 3 (Teselia) threw an explosive at her, from the top of the Cornucopia.

She was considered the main leader of The Careers this year.

## **Biography**

Garnette was the daughter of District 1 Mayor Augustus Dumbey. A young promise of Panem's politics, she was to follow in her father's footsteps to become part of the District 1 government. Participating in the Games could give her the push she needed to make a place for herself on the political scene and win the love and support of her District for elections.

Garnette, like her fellow District member, trained the year before The Games at District 1 Training Academy. She majored in bow, and earned one of the academy's top qualifications, for which she received the approval from the academy for her to volunteer as a Tribute to the Games.

When the Reaping arrived, she volunteered as a tribute to represent her District at the first Hunger Games. She was praised for her bravery and honor, as District 1 first female tribute.

## **The Training and Before Games**

As recommended at the academy, during the week of training on Capitol Hill she was in charge of forming a good relationship with the other tributes of District 1 and District 2. She was the predominant voice in The Careers alliance, where she also added to the Male Tribute from District 4 and the Male Tribute from District 9.

In the evaluation test before the judges, she showed her ability with the bow, obtaining one of the highest scores of 10/12. This helped garner public support, although not as much as was expected, considering that Garnette belonged to District 1.

She took 11th place in odds (11/24) with a bet of 2.21 in Pre-Game Odds.

## **1st Annual Sims Hunger Games**

There were several tributes that stood out in the test before the judges with the bow (Garnette, Male District 1 and Female District 10) and there was only one in the Cornucopia.

Garnette managed to be the first to reach it, and made the first kill of the Games by shooting Female Tritbute from District 10 who had also attempted to reach the bow.

She managed to survive the Bloodbath, and along with the other Careers who survived, they formed their camp in the Cornucopia.

During the first days she developed a good relationship with Female Tribute Disctric 2, who was injured during the Bloodbath and took care of her until she got a Fist Aid Kit from a sponsor.

After The Collapse event, which she survived by hiding inside the Cornucopia, she went on the hunt for other tributes with The Careers. Upon returning, she killed Female Tribute District 9 who was waiting inside the Cornucopia with a set of grenades. Garnette was faster and killed her with an arrow in the chest.

Still, right after that, the Female Tribute from District 3 launched an explosive from above the Cornucopia. The explosion killed her and the Male Tribute District 2.

She was 7th in the final classification. She was the last alive tribute of District 1, when her companion died during the Bloodbath, so she got the best position for her district in the Games.

## **Sponsoring and Support**

By getting a good supply kit from the Cornucopia after the Bloodbath, as well as a weapon (Bow), she didn't need any sponsoring during the Games.

Regarding public and sponsor support, Garnette scored less than expected, as more Capitol support was expected for District 1.

Still, she got the support of the sponsor Della, who gave her 4 points. On the part of the public she got 15 points, and day after day, she managed to improve her position in the betting, although this was due rather to the death of the tributes that were better positioned than her.
