## Backstory

From birth, Tigris could speak Latin. For her, it was simpler than English, even if she would sometimes screw with accents. At an early age, her brother showed her a way out of the district without touching the electric fences. The two would sneak out almost every day to climb the trees, where Felix invented a special climbing stunt involving grabbing vines and jumping tree to tree. Though Tigris tried many times to get it right, she never could. On her 10th birthday, she was given a family heirloom, a topaz scorpion tail locket. Made of pure topaz, found and hidden in the twisting coal mines of district 12. Inside, she put a picture of her and her family. That's when it all spiraled down. For a while, her life was uneventful, but then her father lost his mother, his last family left besides them. The emotional trauma led to the bar in district 11. He would spend up almost all their profit there, instead of to the family. He'd get so drunk, that when he came home, he would abuse the three of them. The abuse made Tigris intensely afraid of blood, in all of its forms. But it would still get worse. The reaping of age 15. Her name was called 4th, and the tan she-cat was practically paralyzed with fear. Her brother jumped in front of her to protect her from reaping but was killed by a peacekeeper when he slashed off their mask. She was walking out when a tomato hit the announcers face. She turned just in time to see her mother throw it, then also get shot down by a peacekeeper. Forced to leave them both and their spirits behind, she walked down the tunnel in which she would never return.

## Training

In training, Tigris wasted no time brushing up on weapon training. She had only ever practiced with knives, and only because she cooked. She became skilled in bow and arrows, scimitars and pickaxes. While practicing, she met Wisteria, a grey she-cat who would be the life and soul of her later in the games. They became friends, and eventually allies. Wisteria introduced her to Piper, and they also became allies, not as close, but allies. A misunderstanding later led Tigris to despise Creo, another tribute in district 12, even though the feeling was not mutual. Later meeting Mattie, she became a part of the well feared 'Clubs' ally group. Then, on her interview, her stylist had left an ember on her outfit, which burst into flame. The injury sent her into a spiraling distortion, and when she woke, they games were days away. She tried to make more personal ties and allies, but because she was stuck to a hospital bed until the day before the games, she didn't get the chance.

## Arena

Tigris wasted no time. She was at the start of the crowd of tributes, making it to the cornucopia before anyone else and giving her a few seconds to grab a spear and use it to pick up two backpacks using the bottom. She was going to run out the other way to meet up with her allies, but she was suddenly stormed by the crowd of tributes. Noticing a broken window, she jumped out, landing in a thorny bush, scratching her a bit. She ran around and found an old, abandoned clothing store, which she decided to take residence in. In the first backpack, she found a scimitar. This pleased Tigris, who had practiced with this weapon a lot before the games began, and it was one of the deadliest weapons in the game. And in the second, she discovered a gamemaker trick. The backpack was filled to the brim with sand, with the only purpose to slow her down and try to get her killed. In anger, she sliced it open, sending sand pouring out. Inside of the sand, she found a large packet of dried fruit. Tucking away the sand backpack, she took hid in the shadows, meeting up with Speedy, a fellow member of the Clubs, but ended up refusing to go to the group meet up. Speedy left, and soon after Wisteria came. Tigris healed up the injuries on her body using old bandanas, and they chatted. Then, realizing Piper had died while they had been apart, Tigris left to meet with the clubs, but ended up wandering aimlessly for a few days. She ran into Leander and Kanai, both of whom she fought, both of whom she lost. Her spirits were down again, she knew she would die here, away from everyone she loved. Then running into Bodhi and Laika, she expected she would die from injuries, but instead made it out of both battles with barely any scratches. Her confidence slowly rising, she ran into Sonar. Now, since Lily (Sonar's girlfriend) had been killed by Wisteria (Tigris's crush, even though she was in denial lmao) Anger took over her and she charged at Sonar with her scimitar. Sonar dodged her first hit, but she managed to dodge two hits from him in a row, putting her at a significant advantage. After a long battle, Sonar died. Horrified at what she had done, she ran. She met Wisteria once more, where they vented to each other. Wandering more, she ran into to Rubellite. They fought, and Tigris died. She needed to find Wisteria. Tell her it would be ok. Tell her to win. Tell her that she had loved her. Meeting up again, this time the last, Tigris gave her scimitar and her topaz scorpion locket to Wisteria. They parted ways once more, this time for the last time, and Tigris finally was free of the games... forever.

Her rose crown is pink, not red.

Her eyes were going to be white, but I didn't want to make her look blind.
