## History

### Backstory

Cove was born in District 4 and lived with her mother and brother, Sandy. Their mother desperately wanted a victor in the family, enrolling both Cove and Sandy in a training academy at an early age. Cove wasn't as physically strong as her brother, so her mother urged him to volunteer for the upcoming games. Sandy did so, despite Cove telling him to do otherwise. She didn't want to see him die, so she volunteered alongside her brother to protect her.

### Alliances

Being from District 4, Cove was automatically a member of the Careers, alongside George Komisoros, Libra Wood, Flynn Orchard, Chelsy Thomas and Sandy Elaxis.

### 206th Hunger Games

Cove joined the fighting in the Cornucopia Bloodbath around the same time as most of the other careers. She reaches the cornucopia fountain and tries to fend off Vendetta Ajita, being later joined by Sandy Elaxis and Flynn Orchard. Shortly afterwards, she witnesses Parjae Snikpan kill Chelsy Thomas, and is shocked by the incident. When the area is cleared, she sees Sandy climb up the edge of the fountain to celebrate, being left horrified when the fountain explodes, with her brother being badly injured from the incident.

After the bloodbath, Cove attempts to treat Sandy's injuries, fearing that she may see him die. Flynn shows up, trying to comfort her and encouraging her not to give up, even talking to her about his own family. She spends the rest of the day at camp with the rest of the careers. That night, they slept in shifts, with Cove being alongside Flynn.

On the second day, Cove goes foraging around the arena with George, Libra and Flynn, finding Astrild Biobio and Lilac Silverstorm inside an abandoned building. They enter combat, with Cove and Flynn being pinned against Lilac, who they cornered and supposedly killed, with the cannon signalling Willow Woodash's death firing at the same time Lilac was stabbed in the stomach with Cove's trident. Believing Lilac to be dead, Cove and Flynn went to assist the rest of their allies, who were fighting Astrild. During the fight, Astrild flees after pushing Libra and George down an open elevator shaft, but Cove chases after her alongside Flynn, killing Astrild by throwing a trident at her chest.

On the third day, Cove and Flynn were pulled away by Sandy, who had been growing suspicious of Libra. Sandy explains to them that Libra is a threat and needs to be eliminated. Suddenly, Cove sees her brother vomit blood, but Sandy tries to pass it off. They have another discussion later on, until it is interrupted when Libra strikes Flynn in the shoulder with a naginata, causing him to drop. Cove and Sandy then grab their weapons and try to kill Libra, but she manages to escape. Cove chases after Libra and finds her at the entrance of a building, and they end up in a heated struggle. However, Libra manages to escape once again, but accidentally drops a bottle of poison. A few moments later, Cove finds the bottle, remembering Libra had it with her the previous night while making drinks for the group. Also remembering Sandy vomiting blood earlier that morning. Realizing this, she panics and goes to check on Sandy, seeing him vomiting blood again. Cove is horrified to see that her brother's pulse is getting weaker and weaker, until he succumbs to the poisoning and dies. Cove returns back to the careers' camp defeated, and Flynn learns of Sandy's death and that Libra got away. Flynn tries to comfort Cove once again, shortly before the feast is announced.

Cove was the winner of the third sponsor poll, gaining a pack of water bottles which she and Flynn collected at the feast alongside their districts' bags. They attempted to leave, but were ambushed by Libra, who knocked Cove unconsious with her naginata. Flynn managed to keep Cove safe by fending off the other tributes until she woke up, before trying to leave after the combat died down. However, both of them were attacked by Libra once again. They enter combat, and she slices Flynn once again, being poisoned in the process as Libra now wielded a naginata with poison blades. However, Flynn managed to break Libra's leg with an axe blow, allowing Cove to kill her with a blow to the throat.

On the final day, Cove and Flynn are ambushed by Parjae, who stabs Cove in the back with a knife before luring Flynn into a nearby building. After having distracted him, Parjae goes back over to Cove and stabs her again in a more vital spot. Shortly afterwards, Cove heads into the building and tries to skewer Parjae. He dodges, but Flynn manages to land a blow, hacking off Parjae's hand. However, he still manages to wildly punch Cove in the head, sending her out through a large window. She falls down several stories before landing on a lamp post, subsequently impaling her. Her final words go to her deceased brother, before she succumbs to her injuries and dies.
