Beauregard Varnua

The Vengeful Victor

**Beauregard Varnua** is a male citizen of District 4. He is a Victor, as he won the 65th Hunger Games. He was also reaped as a tribute in the 75th Hunger Games representing District 4. His District partner is Kyra Amphitrite.

## Personality

Before the Hunger Games, Beau was an exceptional talker, utilizing his attractiveness and sexiness to make others swoon. He was acclaimed for his flirty and charismatic persona during the interviews, which earned him a bountiful of sponsors. However, after leaving the arena, the light-hearted Beau everyone loved disappeared, related by a dark and cynical version. It is unknown how the Capitol views his colder personality. He broke all the relationships in his life, including his family and friends. There's nobody he cares about now, as he fears that his feelings will lead to their death. Furthermore, he developed a split personality (whose name is currently unknown), which reappears whenever Beau feels vulnerable and threatened. While he is able to partially control this split personality (such as intentionally feelings vulnerable in a safe situation), it typically appears unconsciously. This split personality is cold-hearted, murderous, and vengeful. It should be noted that most of this split personality seeped into Beau's typical persona. However, there is one key difference: vengefulness. While Beau would typically be unalarmed if someone intentionally harms him (to a certain degree, such as minor offenses), his split personality takes it to heart and does everything in his power to avenge him, usually to a more serious degree (such as murder). Altogether, Beau is an emotionally detached person whose split personality is driven by revenge.

## Fears

* **Vulnerability.** Since the Hunger Games, Beau has developed an intense fear of being vulnerable. Whenever he does, his split personality becomes prominent, turning him into an indifferent, cold person.
* **Relationships.** Beau does not believe he will have a relationship again. Benoni's death traumatized Beau, and he ultimately fears them since he knows they will end.

## Strengths

* **Swimming.** Since he comes from District Four, he is a talented swimmer, having developed the skill at an early age.
* **Athleticism.** Beau maintains much of his Career figure, including his strength and endurance.
* **Compartmentalization.** Due to his split personality, he is able to effectively compartmentalize certain things. As such, he has developed an immunity to death and murder.

## Weaknesses

* **Mental stability.** During his first Hunger Games, Beau became mentally unstable with the death of Benoni. It is unknown how he will react in his second Games, whether that be him turning into a more emotionally detached person or become completely broken.
* **Socialization.** Beau no longer has the ability to effectively socialize with others, and he typically appears standoffish and cold. This greatly contrasts from the former Beau (the one before the Hunger Games) where he was acclaimed for being flirtatious and charisma.
* **Climbing.** Despite Beau's athleticism, he never learned how to climb. It didn't affect him in the first Hunger Games, so he didn't bother learning for the next.

## 65th Games

### Before the Games

Beauregard was reaped for the 65th Hunger Games, an unusual occurrence in District Four. As such, he was initially rejected from the Careers and lost sponsors. However, when he earned an eleven in training, everything changed: he was offered a spot in the alliance, became one of the Capitol's favorite tribute, and garnered a lot of sponsors. Beau declined the offer from the Careers; instead, he allied with Benoni, the boy from Eight. The two developed mutual feelings for one another, and their relationship became became the most pivotal "plot point" of the Games. Without this relationship, it is speculated that Beau would not have won.

### The Games

During the bloodbath, Beau was attacked by the leader of the Careers, the boy from Two. In the fight, Beau was stabbed in his thigh and shoulder, but Benoni saved him before he was fatally wounded. The two were able to flee with a trident, a medical kit, a tent, and a sleeping bag. Twelve people died in the bloodbath, including the boy from Two. Another tribute died within the next few days. On the fifth day, the Gamemakers caused an avalanche. Two tributes were killed in the catastrophe, and Benoni's leg was trapped under a pile of rocks. When Beau set him free, he was no longer able to walk. With nine tributes remaining, Beau decided to become more offensive while Benoni stayed hidden in a cave. He created traps around the arena, nothing too elaborate but enough to startle the others. He lured out loners, killed them when they were unprepared, and stole their supplies. Within two days, he killed two tributes. Four Careers, Beau, Benoni, and a random loner were left. On the twelfth day, Benoni was captured by the Careers as Beau was hunting. He was tortured for hours about Beau's whereabouts, but he never divulged anything. Beau watched from the outskirts of the cornucopia as Benoni succumbed to the wounds. Something in Beau broke. He was no longer himself. In a fit of rage, he lured the Careers away from the cornucopia, separating them by utilizing the terrain. He slit the girl from One's throat, speared the girl from Two with a trident, and mutilated the boy from One (who was the one responsible for Benoni's death). His district partner eventually retreated to the cornucopia. When the finale came, Beau no longer recongnized himself. He didn't feel anything, except his need for survival. The stray loner was killed by mutations as they were leading them to the cornucopia, so the final fight happened between the tributes from Four. Beau was beaten badly, nearly lost unconsciousness when he was hit in the head with a mace. But before he could succumb to the head injuries, he tackled his district partner to the ground and ripped out her throat with his hands. Although he won, he was happier he survived.

### Aftermath

Since the Hunger Games, Beau has developed an intense fear of being vulnerable. Whenever he does, his split personality becomes prominent, turning him into an indifferent, cold person. Beau does not believe he will have a relationship again. Benoni's death traumatized Beau, and he ultimately fears them since he knows they will end.

## 75th Games

### Before the Games

Beau 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. Beau was one of the targeted Victors, due to his unpredictable and terrifying personality.
