## 66th Games

### Before the Games

Minerva was reaped to compete in the 66th Hunger Games, leaving behind her parents and her two brothers. During the days leading up to the games Minerva stayed under the radar and stayed close to her district partner Maxius. During the private training she showcased her skill of creating intricate traps and her new skill of knife work, this helped her gain a score of a six. Minerva was seen as pure in her interview and gained much sympathy from the audience.

### The Games

The arena this year an oak forest, the intial bloodbath was a lackluster with only seven deaths and with little blood. Minerva and Maximus managed to escape the bloodbath unscathed and with a bag each. The two began to trek into the forest till it started to get dark, the two decided to set up camp. The two managed to survive together for the next five days, seven more tributes had been killed, two of them being the pair from one. The pair got extremely lucky when they came across a lake on the eighth day, but this was just an ambush. The male from four snuck behind Minerva and knocked her to the ground, while the female from two sent a knife flying towards Maximus, Maximus managed to dodge the knife but was then tackled by the monstrous boy from two. Minerva managed to escape from the male from four grip and run away living Maximus behind. A cannon soon followed.

Still holding onto the guilt of leaving her district partner, Minerva became even more determined to win the games. One the tenth day only four tributes remained, Minerva, the male from two, female from four and male from five. Minerva had began to create her intricate traps, the male from five ends up trapped and is killed, resulting in Minerva's first kill.

Now the final three, the finale is ahead. Minerva versus the boy from two and female from four. The arena is set alight with a forest fire, the gamemakers trying to get three to battle. Once Minerva reaches the cornucopia she is confronted by a lone career, the boy from two. the female from four had died in the fire. The two go up aganist eachother, Minerva was about to give up when the male lost his footing and she got the upper hand, she managed to send the knife through the male's eye. Killing him.

### Aftermath

After winning the games Minerva's horrors didn't end. She became very favourable in The Capitol and was forced into prostitution by President Snow. Minerva now is known as 'The Capitol's Sweetheart' and still symbolizes purity.

## 75th Games

### Before the Games

Minerva was reaped into the 75th Hunger Games. The quell "twist" that year required the tributes to be reaped from the existing pool of Victors. The tributes didn't know it at the time, but President Snow rigged the Quell to silence rebellious Victors. Minerva wasn't among the targeted, due to her fearful submission to President Snow.
