FORM UNAVAILABLE

Phaedra has shaggy honey blonde hair is generally pulled into a messy bun. She has the figure of a model if not more bulky from muscle.  She has a pretty 'pixie' face with hazel eyes. 

I shall start my account of my path to becoming victor off with a fact:

I was surrounded by morons.

They waited nervously behind me and they waited for me anxiously on the stage before me. I was surrounded, there was no escape. It was terrible. I'm pretty sure the worst part of all was that I was pretending to be one- the scariest part being that I was pretty darn good at it.

I glanced up at the screen in the top corner of the room that displayed Ruby Shimmer making the normal announcements before the interview. I wished that the stupid woman would just cut to the chase instead of blabbering on about pointlessness. I nearly crossed my arms in front of me irritably but I restrained myself. Thats not in my character, I am a dumb blonde for now. I'll be dumb until the time is right, I thought sheerly pissed. It would all be worth it when I was victor though, I promised myself.

I turned around biting my lip and twirling a lock of hair on my finger. Directly behind me was Tyberius, my district partner sat slightly slouched against the wall. I started a second as he spoke arrogantly with Eden the male from two who watched him nodding his head slightly. There was a gentleness to Eden.The arena was not for stuffed animals like himself, it would tear him apart until there was nothing left of him but a few balls of fluff.

I let out a ditzy giggle, "Hi guys." I said with a flirty smile. Oh God, I hated this. All I wanted to do was make them cry. Tyber's face was tilted upwards toward me, a small smirk playing across his lips as if he thought he was the sexiest thing in the entire country- which he was not. Eden smiled at me politely though it was clear he was a tad uncomfortable, he clearly picked up instantly on Tyber's interest in me. Eden didn't really have anywhere to go though, his district partner was quite possibly rabid and the district three kids formed a buffer between us and the other half of our pack. He was very observant, I noted, I'd have to keep my guard up with him.

"Hey gorgeous." Tyber said, a dreamy look in his eyes.

I have a name, man-bitch, I thought irritably. I hated Tyber. He was loud and disruptive when I was trying to learn in the career academy, like he was trying to convince all the girls he was a bad boy. He was not, he was so fake he put Ruby Shimmer to shame.

However due to the fact he was from my district he knew I was mildly evil and a total mastermind- not the imbecile I was  pretending to be.... I knew I should be nice to him so he didn't ruin everything  before I got the chance to brutally murder him in the arena.

I forced my mouth to widen as I looked from side to side, "Who's gorgeous?" I cooed dumbly, is that your pet-name for your dick?  I added bitchily in my head.  

He smiled and leaned closer to me, his mouth starting to form the word 'you' but I realized something. I was dumb. I could get away with pretty much anything and not be held accountable. I slapped him before he could even say it. "Ew! Cooties!" I screamed, ducking around him to hug Eden.

Eden stiffened, his face flushed red as he looked down at me like a deer in headlights. I smiled, I loved when boys did that. I looked over at Tyber who was staring at Eden with an expression of sheer loathing on his face, a large red handprint was forming on his cheek. I realized this was the perfect opportunity to create some lasting tension between the career pack, if Eden and Tyber rivaled the pack would be forced to choose sides. A pack divided could not stand very long, which was better for me, they'd be here long enough to kill most of the tributes and then they'd destroy themselves. I resisted the  urge to throw back my head and laugh maniacally, I couldn't because I had to be the diplomat everyone liked. "Eden! Don't let Tyber contaminate me! I don't think he washes his hands after he goes to the bathroom!" I said like I was a needy, annoying bitch.

Eden didn't say anything. It was like he was in shock, I hoped I hadn't broke him. That would seriously ruin my plans.

I was about to back off a little and play Tyber a tad but a peacekeeper was suddenly beside me, his thick black mask glinting in the artificial lights. "Miss. Wolfgang, it's time to open the interviews." He said taking my arm. Reluctantly I let go of Eden and started walking toward the stage, I threw a glance over my shoulder and winked at Tyber with the purpose of keeping him interested in me before turning away and catching a reflection in a mirror of him advancing toward Eden.

Why does being evil feel so good? I allowed the luxury of a small smile to dance across my features before I replaced it with an innocent one and stepped onto the stage. Music pounded through my bodies, neon lights flashed vibrantly flashing in every which way, Ruby glimmer stood, announcing my arrival. "Please welcome our first tribute of the night, the adorable Phaedra Wolfgang!" She said, the crowd cheered.

Adorable? Was that the best they could come up with? I'm not adorable! They should all fear me! Oh well... it will all be worth it after I win and I overthrow the president and rule Panem. I did a ditzy little twirl, almost tripping as I forgot that my stylist had shoved me in bright pink pumps- as if my legs weren't already long enough.

The audience laughed and I forced myself to laugh with them, "These shoes are really big, like if a mouse decided to build a home in them it would be like a skyscraper." I said with a the seriousness I could force into my voice. Everyone laughed some more as I took the final steps over toward Ruby who embraced me, I was much taller than her- at least a foot with the shoes on- so she just got a face full of my abs. Awkward. This is why I don't talk to short people.

After a second she let go and I sat down, smoothing the short black and pink flapper dress that my stylist had put me in to (as she put it) hide the fact I had the body of a seven year old boy and to accentuate my long legs. While I admit she had done a good job with everything, I looked utterly stunning and the dress completely captured me- I liked to think the pink represented who I pretended to be and the black represented who I actually was- the seven year old boy comment was inexcusable so I was going to kill her family.

Ruby Shimmer smiled at me, "So dear, how are you liking the capital?" She asked, it was very monotone though. Every tribute who was not a moron knew this question was mandatory for her to ask, perhaps to try to get an idea of the tributes loyalty to the capital so the gamemaker's could take measures to prevent them from winning? Though last year's victor was a complete rebel, I assume that Antonio Silver must of underestimated him until it was too late. His career as gamemaker must of suffered heavily because of it.

I twirled a lock of my hair on my finger, "Everyone here is so smart." Sarcasm was the best weapon against stupid people. "I really like the architecture too." I said this genuinely, this city would be the perfect base for my new empire.

Ruby seemed flattered, her eyes taking interest. "You are one of the first tributes to recognize the capital's ingenuity." The crowed cheered loudly, I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. I wonder why. Maybe it's because you all have the intellect of an average rock? "Enough about us, sweetie. Tell us about you- what inspired you to volunteer?"

The fact I'm allowed to kill people and to practice inhumane experiments for the advances in science that I would not otherwise be able to get away with, or maybe its because I've been training since I was eight. And of course eventual world domination. I listed off my reasons in my head, but I couldn't say any of those things or it would blow my cover. "Oh, well I'm a career and I like killing people and making friends and I really want to win so I can live in the capital." I giggled biting my lip and looking away.

Ruby smiled and leaned forward placing a hand on my knee, "Well I hope you win so you can come live here too!" I smiled letting out a little laugh. Do you really want me to win? Do you? Because my first act as dictator will be the purge of idiots like you. I can't stand them. I mentally sigh, oh the irony. I do love it.

Ruby hesitated looking down to her left, her spine straightening. She was going to ask me something unscripted. "So there is this rumor circling around the capital that the careers have accepted some non-careers into the pack. Is this true? If so who did you invite and why?"  She leaned forward again, very attentively.

I smiled and crossed my legs. "Oh yes. That is true. It was all Tyber's idea." No it was all my idea, but I couldn't take credit for it. Establishing the career who was head over heels for me as leader was a good idea. When a man loves a woman he is basically her puppet on a string and that is the true meaning of love. "We invited Nixie. She is so nice. Then we invited Fuse and Ass-Line or however you say her name. Its hard." I giggled, the audience laughed with me. I didn't like Aissalyne very much. "I think Tyber just said they were strong and would be assets to the pack." No, as slaves to do our dirty work. We invited the strong ones in order to keep our enemies close to us. They are easier to kill that way. I shrugged putting a clueless, derpy look on my face.

Ruby nodded, a smile spreading across her face. "That was a smart move, so often I think that the careers write off strong kids from the outer districts. This year's games will be one to remember. So who stands out the most to you this year?" Ruby tilted her head with this really dumb puppy dog look in her eye. I was suddenly seized with the desire to make her life miserable.

I let out a laugh, "You do! Because your standing in front of me!" I said pointing at her and kicking my legs as I leaned back in my chair as if I'd just said the funniest thing.

Ruby's face fell. "No honey, I'm sitting right in front of you, not standing. I meant which tribute stands out to you the most?" She said as if she was only just beginning to realize I wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed- or at least that's what I was been leading her to believe. Moron, I thought.

I made a act of scratching my head, "I'm confused. There is no one standing in front of me but you.... and a tribute is what I am, right?" I wondered if it was possible to kill brain cells simply from acting stupid. I did know that brain cells don't grow back. The irritation on the woman's face was worth it though. I hate stupid people. They all deserve to be burned at the stake.

Ruby pursed her lips, then opened them to speak. "Yes, your a tribute. Lets try this; Of the tributes who do you think is the biggest threat?" You look so uncomfortable, that is how I've felt this entire experience surrounded by you people- seriously do you take your daily stupid pills each morning? Or is it a custom here to feed newborns here lead-filled paint chips? I watched Ruby cross and uncross her legs as she waited for my reply. She clearly felt distressed. She should be.

I giggled and ripped the shoe from my foot and held it in the air like a weapon. "I choose you shoe!" I said gleefully, the audience laughed. I had no idea why. I leaned forward and placed the shoe on Ruby's lap. "Do you know why I chose the shoe?" I whispered putting a shaky, slightly deterring tone in my voice. Ruby looked at me as if I was insane. This is surprisingly fun. "It's evil." I whispered looking both ways as if I was afraid something was sneaking up on me.

Ruby shook her head and placed the shoe back on my lap. "Honey, the shoe is not a tribute." She cooed, her face tense. If it was any tenser I think the thick coat of makeup would fall from her face.

I smiled, "Duh! The shoe is attached to me. Of course it's a tribute. Don't be stupid Ruby." I scolded placing it back on my foot clumsily. To my surprise the crowd murmured in agreement, they would all have to die in order to prevent them from spreading their stupidness. Or perhaps I could just enslave them and force them to build monuments in my honor?

"Okay." She said flatly, "Who is the weakest among the tributes, not including the shoe." She said pointedly, careful not to miss any openings for me to be an idiot. However she missed several according to the quick calculations I did in my head and I was eager to exploit them.

I unfastened my other shoe and hoisted it in the air, placing a satisfied grin on my face. "This is the shoe of weakness!" She places her palms in front of her face and I leaned forward until I was inches from her face. "Do you want to know why I chose this shoe?" I demanded, she shoved me backward into my seat.

"It's evil!" I yelled anyway, throwing my hands in the air dramatically. The crowed cheered in agreement, I actually kind of liked it. It was like I had my own army. Man, I really wanted an army. I can force them to all wear purple. All would fear the purple army.

Ruby raised her hands until they were on either side of her head, "No! I don't care! I just want you off my stage!" She yelled exploding. Stupid people were always the most violent.

The crowd booed her fiercely, I decided now was a good time to burst into tears. "That is so mean!" I gasped, "Why would you say that?" Tears began to flow from my eyes making my mascara run. I am such a bitch. Well. At least I'm good at it.

"Yeah! Why would you hurt the poor innocent little girl?" Some man yelled in the audience loudly and others joined him in a loud roar of disapproval. Was it possible that I had destroyed her career while looking completely innocent? Goody! The night was still young too, things could only get worse.

Ruby looked either way anxiously, realizing her mistake. She twisted a huge bedazzled ring on her finger and clenched her jaw. "Phaedra. Do you think you can win? These people sure seem to support you." She said, her face was tight as if she was trying not to freak out. Apparently this had never happened to her before. Mmmm poor, poor woman, I thought sarcastically, rather enjoying her distress.

This was one question that I didn't have to lie about, carefully I sniffed and wiped the trails of mascara running down my face from me eyes. Dantilly I nodded, "With the support of the capital," a.k.a. the survivors of natural selection "I can do anything." I smiled, while I might of said it more arrogantly if I'd been being myself the meaning was the same.

I was the discord, I was the mastermind, I was unstoppable, and I was going to win.
