Alexandria Skyvale

* Lunaii
* Anime

Alexandria Skyvale is a character featured in the fanfiction Zodiac Pandemonium: The 500th Hunger Games, in which she is one of The Capitol's two female tributes.
She is the twin sister of Alexander Skyvale.

## Appearance

Alexandria has long and curly blonde hair, which she puts up into a ponytail, and sea blue eyes.
Like Alexander, she stands at 5'6".

Her reaping attire consists of a white and gold sleveless dress, with a heart-shaped cutout and a collar that is attached by a button, and golden boots. On the right side of her head, Alexandria wears her token, a white pearl hairpin with golden wings, the pearl matching the dress.

## Personality

Alexandria is, in many ways, the opposite of Alexander, showing maturity and responsibility. She believes in the traditional social norms that is expected of the higher social classes in Panem, a reflection of this being through the way she speaks; formally.

She is capable of handling alcohol better than Alexander, as proven by the minor side effects she experienced from the medicine given to her by Moiselle. But there is a logical explanation behind this; Alexandria didn't drink as much as Alexander on the night of their birthday party and levels of alcohol consumption is one of the factors behind what side effects someone experiences, therefore it was inevitable that Alexandria would be in a better state than Alexander.

Her attitude and outlook on life may impress those who share her way of thinking, especially because of how young she is. However, on the other hand, this may be viewed as intimidating to those of a lesser social status than her. If she tries to act in a casual or laidback manner, she could also be perceived as awkward or unnatural.

## Abilities and skills

**Perception:** Alexandria seems to have good perception, even after consuming strong medicine. She was able to predict that two of the five victors expected to show up at the reaping were not going to appear before it was even announced, she remembered elements of Games/Panem history {this could, however, be a result of memorising the reaping videos} and she was able to determine what was inside Marietta Laveux's satchel belt due to looking at the outline of it, a book. Yet another example of this, albeit less impressive, is that she could perceive how uncomfortable the girl stood next to her during the reaping looked.

## Backstory

All that's known of Alexandria's backstory is that she was born to a wealthy socialite in The Capitol, being born minutes before Alexander.

#### Pre-Reaping

The day of the reaping was also the day of Alexandria and Alexander's eighteenth birthday. But due to it being the reaping on their actual birthday, their Mother hosted a celebration for them a day prior. These celebrations lasted deep into the night, and there was alcohol present. Compared to Alexander, who got drunk from this alcohol, Alexandria never reached a level of intoxication and was left with a minor headache.

Alexandria wakes up at 6am, still suffering from a headache. The family maid, Moiselle, knocks on her door, asking for permission to enter. She figures out that Moiselle has come to inform her that her reaping outfit is ready. Moiselle confirms this, but advises Alexandria to take a shower first. She is also the first person to wish Alexandria a happy birthday on her actual birthday.

Alexandria listens to her and shows her gratitude for the birthday wishes, but this causes her to increase the pain of the headache further. Because of this, Moiselle offers to draw a bath for her instead. Alexandria refuses, stating that a shower will be just fine.

Moiselle asks Alexandria if her headache was a result from the night prior. Alexandria decides to be honest with her, prompting Moiselle to talk about the state in which Alexander is in. According to Moiselle, Alexander had to be dragged out of bed and his face be splashed with water in order to wake him up. Alexandria receives this rather amusingly, picturing Alexander annoyed. She does, however, show some genuine concern for his wellbeing afterwards, to which Moiselle responds that he is no longer intoxicated, but he is disorientated due to consuming medicine. The medicine is safe, but there are people who can suffer from side effects from this medicine, disorientation being one of those side effects.

This is when Moiselle asks Alexandria to keep an eye on her brother. She agrees to do so, as long as Moiselle gives her some of the medicine for her headache. She doesn't seem to be concerned about suffering any side effects. Not having any reason to say no to the birthday girl, Moiselle says that she can have whatever she wants.

After taking a shower, Alexandria changes into her reaping outfit. She also uses the nearest mirror to her in order to put her hair up. When she finished getting ready, Moiselle came to her with the medicine and a glass of water. Alexandria consumed both, after she was assured that the medicine wouldn't taste vile because it was strawberry-flavoured.

Alexandria enquires about the other side effects. Moiselle tells her that the list is so extensive that it would take time to explain them all, but one such example of a side effect is slight fatigue. She also tells Alexandria that she is no doctor so she could be false, but she is familiar with the medicine and understands that the effects experienced depend on the person - levels of alcohol consumption being a major factor. Due to Alexander experiencing side effects, Alexandria was definitely going to experience side effects as well. But because she had less alcohol than Alexander, she was more likely to experience lesser side effects. Alexandria thanks Moiselle, as Alexander appeared.

Alexander, who was trying to act normal, is disgruntled over having his face submerged in water and being given pills that are making him feel different. Moiselle tells him that he has Alexandria to watch over him during the reaping so that she can make sure that nothing bad happens to him. Alexandria jokes that he can always use her arm for support. This angers Alexander who accuses her of enjoying his misfortune. Alexandria refutes this, saying that she's just happy that she can handle alcohol much better than he can. Being sarcastic, he tells her that she can boast all she wants.

Two hours pass, placing the time at around 8am. Alexandria's headache was gone, but Alexander was still acting strange. Alexandria starts to suspect that Alexander could end up either doing something stupid or fainting, which would be disastrous since this was their final reaping.

Once the twins were finished getting ready, Moiselle told them to go downstairs as their Mother wanted to speak with them and give them something, which turns out to be their birthday presents. The twins listen to Moiselle and go downstairs, where their Mother was waiting for them; two golden boxes in tow and extremely enthusiastic.

Alexander complains that she was being too loud, which prompts Moiselle to explain that the twins had been given the medicine but they were reacting differently to it; Alexandria feeling fine whilst Alexander was acting strange. Mother tells her that Alexander will be fine, so she doesn't need to worry; once they get through the reaping, their lives will continue as normal and they will no longer have to worry about the Hunger Games.

She then gives the twins a pep talk; the Skyvales are a neutral family, so the Games are neither a good or a bad thing to them - it's all about strategic survival. With it being the 20th Quarter Quell that year, anything could happen so she stresses to the twins the importance of sticking together and focusing on survival. The twins promise to follow her advice.

The birthday presents are then given out. Alexandria's birthday present turns out to be a pearl hairpin embedded within the middle of a pair of wings made of gold. This present is given by Mother to serve as a token in case she is reaped, because it represents both family and heritage.

Shortly afterwards, the twins say their goodbyes as they head for the Reaping's location in a car. The location of the Capitol's Reaping was normally the Presidential Mansion, but for that year it had been changed.

Alexandria and Alexander initially didn't talk to each other. She was adjusting her hairpin and wondering whether being alert was a side effect of the medicine as she seemed to feel more alert. Alexander was looking out of the window.

This silence was eventually broken when Alexander asked randomly if there had been a Games hosted with just Capitol children. Alexandria's answer is that there was such a Games that took place, in 276ADD, but before it was finally carried out, it was initially an idea that struggled to come into fruition. Alexander burst out in laughter because he found the word "fruition".

Alexander's laughter caused Alexandria to realise that Alexander was also suffering from mood swings and the suspicions she had earlier about Alexander potentially doing something stupid during the reaping were most likely going to come true, due to Moiselle being correct about the medicine causing individuals to have different experiences. This starts making her worry.

On the other hand, Alexander starts speaking in a carefree manner. He tells Alexandria to speak like a normal eighteen year old and loosen up a little, since she acts very formally. Alexandria tells him that as children of a wealthy socialite, they've been socialised to speak formally. Alexander corrects her, saying that Mother doesn't care for how they speak or act; the evidence for this being that she hosted a birthday party that included alcohol because she knew that the twins would have to go through the reaping on their actual birthday and that she is a socialite, so if she were to get intoxicated, she would behave far from formally. Because of this, Alexander tells her to act more like his sister and less like his teacher.

Alexandria realises that what he's saying does make sense, causing her to go pale.

#### Reaping

The twins arrived at the reaping's location, a stadium. Alexandria vowed to not let Moiselle down by staying with Alexander, but they were forced to get into separate lines. Dividing her time waiting in line between looking at a young girl, the green cloaked guy in front of Alexander and wondering about why Alexander was suddenly acting calm, she got distracted and became startled when it was her turn. She became more startled when she and Alexander had to go into different sections of the stadium, but she realised that she couldn't anger the Peacekeepers because of the promise she made to Mother to stay alive. Alexander, knowing her distress, gave her a look of reassurance.

Having attended reapings for the past seven years, Alexandria was aware of the reaping proceedings. She declared her nonchalance towards it, but she had no choice but to watch. She admitted her admiration for Esmeralda Midori, because she was a symbol of neutrality, and her dislike of Artemisia Dorcas. As of Emmett Tempest, she considered his winning moment in the 491st Hunger Games to be cliche as he was clearly set up to be the heroic figure.

Alexandria was able to notice that Abellone Quarani, the victor of the 495th Hunger Games, and Tallis Vienna, the victor of the 497th Hunger Games, were unable to attend as she saw one of the Peacekeepers gesturing to Artemisia to take charge of the microphone. She also noticed the discomfort of the girl sat next to her, prompting her to make awkward eye contact with the Peacekeeper in charge of supervising the 18ARF section.

She took note of the important pieces of information that President Kenta revealed about the Games, such as the reaping codes correlating with the theme and the number of tributes being sixty-four.

Whilst she was hoping that Alexander would not be reaped or do anything stupid that would garner the attention of the Peacekeepers, Alexandria was reaped - in a cruel twist of irony. Reciprocating the sympathetic look given to her by the girl sat next to her, she followed the section's Peacekeepers. Upon arriving onto the stage, Artemisia complimented her for her looks; which Alexandria thanked her for but also doubted.

The attention quickly turned to her hairpin. Alexandria had to explain the story behind where her hairpin came from, which also led her to reveal that it was her and her brother's birthday. Artemisia asked her what her brother's name was, to which Alexandria responded with "Alexander".

The Peacekeeper, on Artemisia's orders, searched for Alexander using the screens and his code. He was eventually found, but he had volunteered; the medicine presumably starting to affect him again. After volunteering, he suddenly collapsed.

Distraught over what had happened, Alexandria pleaded for the Peacekeepers to ignore his declaration. However, the Peacekeepers were having none of it and took Alexander inside. Having to face the reality that they had not gotten free from the clutches of the Hunger Games, Alexandria gave up her protests and watched the rest of the reaping; the final female tribute being Marietta Laveux.

Witnessing her suspicions of Alexander doing something stupid coming true, Alexandria is left with the thought of the Peacekeepers not being able to harm her because she was now considered a tribute, unless she did something extreme. However, she refutes the idea of doing anything extreme because of Alexander. If there was a slight chance of her doing anything extreme, it would be Alexander's sake; since they had made the promise to stick together.

## Etymology
