Now for the finalists:
Fourth Place:
Emily Anderson – United States of America (ScrapbookLove)
Not to quote Emily, but these Games were filled with a fuckload of talent, including the US' Emily Anderson herself. This girl brought her "positive attitude" and "sunny personality" (no sarcasm here, folks!) to every challenge she was faced with, gradually showing her soft side in her budding love with ally Pippino D'Amore, then seeming like a heartless bitch when her real relationship with boyfriend Roland was revealed through interviews with loved one. Basically, this is one fucking multi-dimensional and varied tribute.
Third Place:
Jace Miller – Britain (Rhapsodic)
Jace Miller, the slightly spoiled son of a British ambassador, made his way through the Games with the power of his brains. Although he was kicked out by his alliance rather early, he managed to outlast all his former allies and make his way to third place. Though at first his only motivation to win was his own life, interviews with his loved one provided him a new reason to fight; a child. Throw in his wanting to make things better with his father for the chess board incident, and you've got one determined boy. Sadly, Jace reached his unfortunate end before escaping the arena. Chess and mate.
Second Place:
Pippino D'Amore – Britain (katniss-everdeen)
Pippino, the sweet artist boy from Italy, coursed through the Games putting full trust in all those around him. Sadly, in a place like the arena, trust isn't necessarily the smartest thing to do, as Pip learned throughout the Games, partly with the betrayal of his sweetheart, Emily Anderson. Although he wasn't the strongest physically, Pippino showed that good friends and a loveable personality can get you places as well, just not necessarily as far as you need to be.
First Place:
Conner Stansfield – United States of America (TheDarkHorse)
Yet another sweetheart, young Conner Stansfield stumbled his way through the Game, never quite sure what he was doing, depending greatly on his luck. Throughout the Games, he made several allies and – more importantly – friends. Although his moods were varied from happy and friendly to dark and depressed, Conner stayed constant throughout the Games and fought his way to a well-deserved win.
