Luyu Nimmons

She had slept peacefully and easily during the night. Her oceanic orbs fluttered together after the Anthem had played in the night sky of the Arena. Only one thing besides sleep had ever crossed her one-track mind before she fell dormant. Naturally, the one thought was of fire. There hadn't been a single fire created during the Games yet, which highly displeased her. She would have made one herself, but she had snapped that match at the Bloodbath. She hadn't the resources needed to produce the beautiful substance. But, when she awoke, things were different.
In the middle of the night, a parachute had drifted out of the sky and landed beside her. Not noticing it until her eyes bolted open at the crack of dawn as she was accustomed to back in the laboratory in the third District, she stifled a lively cry of jubilee -- not particularly in the mood for a fight this early in the morning -- and scooped up the gift. Before she had it unwrapped she knew what it was. The smell of the present radiated in her nostrils, reverberating throughout her head. It was flint, and she was sure of it. Now she could start a fire, and ignite the arena in bright, brilliant burgundy flames.
Today would be a good day.
Fire! Fire! Fire! ran through her mind endlessly. The thought enveloped her entirely, leaving a seemingly empty shell sitting on the ground gazing at a piece of flint. The Capitolites probably thought Luyu was some sort of psychotic freak.
They thought correct.
In the midst of all the "fire", the word "water" slipped its way into her train of thought. She paused for a second, and looked back at the Arena. Back in reality, she realized she was fairly thirsty. She hadn't had anything to drink since she left the Capitol. Leaning over to where her supplies lay beside where she slept, Luyu grabbed the water jug that previously belonged to the now deceased Ocean Jones. She unscrewed the top and chugged the water that was contained in it.
Now would be the time where her flint would come in handy.
With a colossal grin upon her face, Luyu started a fire, and boiled water for each Tribute in Hiccups. "Everyone's water is now safe to drink. I advise you do so now." She went to Joshua, Mercury, and Ember, and gave them all their water jugs. "Don't thank me, either. It was my pleasure." And it really was. She enjoyed every second that she had to keep the fire alive longer, and was very glad there were four jugs to purify.
Luyu was about to create another fire just for fun, when she saw something standing in the distance. Then she saw another one to its left, and another to its right. She couldn't tell what the three things were, so she moved closer. Still, Luyu hadn't a clue what the objects might be -- though she was fairly certain they weren't Tributes. Were they mutts of some sort? Luyu had always enjoyed watching the mutt fights. Especially the ones that ended with death. She had caused two deaths the previous day, and it had made her quite ecstatic.
She had become distracted, as normal for the crazy girl. When she glanced back up at the objects, they appeared to be dancing, or maybe even prancing. She noticed the things had four legs, and were shaped rather like an equine of some sort. As she stepped closer, the mutts coloration came into view. They were a sandy color, with black stripes across their bodies. Tilting her head, she studied the horsey mutts' appearances -- noticing the mask-like face and the jagged, sharp teeth.
The teeth gave it away: these mutts were dangerous. She looked back to where her sword lay on the ground and flung herself at it. Grasping it in both hands, she charged at the mutts and slung her sword at the first one.
