Jo Iris is the lead singer of The Bards. She's charming, young, and just has that aura that makes her so entrancing. She's everything the Capitol wants. So when she's reaped with the not-so-charming fourteen-year-old Isaac Halloran for the annual seventy-third Hunger Games with the drunk Victor Haymitch Abernathy and the famous Effie Trinket, she gets a good look at the cruelty of people outside of District Twelve and the horror that is the Games. It takes no smart person to see that the odds are never going to be in her favor, so will she test that and win, or will she go off into the afterlife with her Ma and Pa? Will the rest of Twelve only know her as the ghost that once sang the sweet songs with her band?

"So, gather all the rebels now, we'll rabble-rouse and sing aloud, we don't care what they say, no way no way, and we will leave the empty chairs to those who say we can't sit there. We're fine all by ourselves." -Wild Things|| Alessia Cara. Ataraxia Blake and Finnick Odair have been best friends ever since she came out of the arena. Ataraxia has lost everything, she has nothing left, except for Finnick. When the two are sent back into the games after a life promised of peace, they're pissed to say the least. In order to get out alive they'll either have to kill one another or beat the system. They beat the system. "Ataraxia Blake right?" "Yes. Capitol Sweetheart, Finnick's only weakness in that arena. If he's protecting her, it makes him vulnerable. They've been partners in crime practically since they met. He would anything for her, Same goes for Ataraxia. They're in love with each other. They're just to damn stubborn to do anything about it." "Come on, He has to know a girl like that's not going to make it. I bet when it comes down to it, he won't protect her." "I just hope that when she goes, she goes quickly. Shes actually a... really sweet girl." Haymitch said getting lost in his thoughts. "So, hey! We brought our drums, and this is how we dance, no mistaking, we make our breaks if you don't like our 808s then. Leave us alone cause we don't need your policies, we have no apologies for being. Find me where the wild things are."

~some things you just can't speak about.~ // hazel eloise finley's old english and frankly quite pretentious name was never released to public whenever she survived the shooting at her high school. not even after the paramedics took her away with a severe bullet wound to the calf or even whenever she drug and hopped herself outside for medical attention afterwards either. only known as the jane doe that survived a school shooting, and the years of physical therapy, permanent nerve damage and chronic pain proved to be the least of her worries. it took years of therapy, hospitalizations, and prescriptions for her to even feel ready to start college after high school. and whenever she did, much like her name, she was determined to bury it. despite the trauma she went on to become one of the most gifted music majors enrolled at the prestigious university in Nashville, TN, an honors student, a residential advisor, and slowly making her way to the student council someday. Though just coming into her sophomore year, a heavily tattooed literature major transfers into the room across from hers that throws everything off track. Julien Rose Baker infuriated her at first, not only because her friends and roommates were loud and obnoxious and stayed up all hours of the night playing loud music and probably doing anything but studying, but because she was better than her, in every sense of the word. sight reading music without missing a beat or a note, shredding her guitar in nearly every practice room, leaving most professors in awe of her vocal range, and not to mention the writings of hers read during some of the english classes the two shared. it was jealousy at its finest. though whenever an unexpected turn of events leaves hazel almost having no choice but to be vulnerable, something else besides avoiding her dorm neighbor might turn into something else. ~ TW for gun violence, ptsd, anxiety, depression, etc...
