–Tribute Description, 76th Hunger Games | ||
Marina was the female tribute from District 4, serving as a tertiary antagonist in the 76th Hunger Games. A stunning girl, Marina was as dangerous as she was beautiful, her ability with a trident making her a very strong tribute. She was a member of the Career pack and one of the bigger threats in the arena.
Biography[]
Marina lived in District 4 prior to the 76th Hunger Games and trained for the The Hunger Games, alongside her fellow district members. Like most careers, she volunteered for the Games.
The Hunger Games[]
Training Center[]
In the fic, Marina is late to the training center. While there, she trains her ability in trident combat and net weaving. She most likely shows off these skills to the Gamemakers in her Private Training Sessions, as she receives a high training score of 9.
Interview[]
Marina makes up for Marlin's embarssing interview, managing to redeem District 4.
Cornucopia Bloodbath[]
Like most of the other tributes, Marina runs toward the Cornucopia and fights for supplies. She shows up quick to the cornucopia, being one of the first to arrive. There, she throws a trident through the back of the District 5 Female. Later in the bloodbath, she gets attacked by Willow and the District 10 Female. Juniper assists Marina in fighting the duo, but she is still run over when Willow and the 10 female clothesline her as they escape.
Alliance[]
As is typical in the arena, the Career Tributes of the 76th Hunger Games form an alliance. The alliance at first includes Copper and Raini from District 1, Aristides and his district partner Juniper from District 2, Marlin and Marina from District 4, and the District 10 Male.
Rising Tensions[]
Marina nearly breaks down when she thinks Aristides is going to kill Marlin for his lack of kills, but comes to her senses once she realizes Marlin would be spared. She then hunts with the careers for most of the day, coming up empty handed.
Run-In with Colic[]
Marina is put on guard duty for the remainder of the day, when she finds Colic poisoning the career supplies. She attacks the boy, getting a brief fight. Colic begins to escape, as Marina pursues him through the forest. Eventually, he inflates a raft, sailing through the river rapids. Marina attempts to swim after him, but is drug down by a strong current and nearly drowned in the river. She manages to escape her watery demise, passing out from exhaustion on the riverbed.
Reunited with Careers[]
Later on, Marina is found by her allies, and taken back to the cornucopia where she has to explain the supplies werre poisoned by Colic, and not Marlin. This manages to ease a few tensions between the allies, getting things back to normal with the group.
Anti-Career Attack[]
A few days into the Games, the careers are attacked by the group of anti-careers. Marina and Juniper pursue the fleeing antis, falling right into a trap devised by Colic.
Death[]
Marina is tripped over a rope that had been hidden from her until the final moment. Before she's able to get back on her feet, Willow buries an axe into her chest, killing Marina.
Overall, Marina placed 13th out of 24 tributes.

Personality[]

This bullish nature ends up getting her killed in the end.
Possessions[]
