12. District 12 Male: Blaze Orion

Naturally from a background of misery and depression like the typical 12 citizen, Blaze Orion viewed the games with a continuously negative perspective. As he entered a world of plague, the boy- for what seemed like the first time- wasn't so alone. Perhaps because his hands shook with inexperience while applying bandages to sickly patients a bloodthirsty combatant detected his presence, or how he constantly glanced around. Approached from behind and stabbed, he briefly stood at the very edge of the void known as death. And in those final moments, he decided that the brink was worse, for after hopelessness, emptiness would come.

11. District 1 Female: Aroma Fastner

District 1's beloved, smiling Aroma Fastner was a death predicted, due to her personality unsuited for the arena, but one heartbreaking all the same. The distinct addition the girl brought to the arena was one very endearing, and it was difficult for many viewers to watch the terror flashing across her face as a desperate patient reached out for her mask and wrenched it away. Unprotected from the deadly plague brewing around her, the girl cried out one final, "sweet scent!" before breaking out into a hacking cough. It took little time for her sickness to advance far quicker due to the exposure.

10. District 7 Female: Kaelyn 'Kaylee' Menorr

A girl of two personalities, Kaelyn- rather, Kaylee- Menorr of District 7 constantly surprised the crowd all throughout her time in the arena. As the guilt leapt upon her, eyes fixated on the corpse that mirrored her own face, the girl found herself slitting her wrists, over and over, to punish herself for all she'd done, how she'd disregarded her sister. The blood kept coming, wetting the blankets covering her dying self, and even when her arm was torn apart almost completely, no uncut flesh to be seen, Kaylee kept going. Eventually, the blood ran out; she passed out, never to wake again.

9. District 2 Male: Mason Falkov

The truth? Nobody in the Capitol expected a boy with one arm to live through the Bloodbath, let alone survive so long past that. Mason Falkov of District 2 defied their expectations, persevering first with the help of a hard attitude, and then a diminished, caring one as he formed an unlikely alliance with soft-hearted Kaya Maldoran. After his sickly self taunted Mason repeatedly, the mirror image challenged the changed boy to a fight. Tackling the boy from 2 to the ground, the ill version, despite his weaknesses, effortlessly beat up and eventually killed a boy who'd opted for being gentle and kind.
