She remembers watching the Sixth Annual Hunger Games for the first time at seven years old.
At least, that was the earliest she could recall really paying attention to the narrative. Her ancestor tore through the arena like a tornado set loose, claiming a number of lives still not surpassed to this very day, almost ninety years after the fact. District One's first victor had all the same ferocity of a natural disaster, accompanied by a particular penchant for reaching for whatever she wanted and maiming all that stood in her way. Eulalie has always idolized Cordelia for this simple truth. To share the Blake family name is something she takes great pride in. And as far as she's concerned, glory is her birthright.
It would seem they share the same tenacity of spirit.
Can that be inherited? That instinct to wreak havoc when it suits you? She doesn't mean to be cruel, and she isn't always. Her friends are her friends, her blood is her blood, and there a neatly written set of rules that she follows without complaint. Those on her side of the line will find themselves in the company of someone who is loyal, capable, and steadfast. But to be a career of her caliber, there must also be a willingness to harm. That's the fate of all who stand opposing her.
To be harmed.
Quick on her feet and sure with a blade, it's not her fault that she can sniff out weakness so easily. People are such fragile things, laced with insecurity — when the frayed thread reveals itself, should she be punished for pulling on what is offered? It's fun to unravel the people who are in your way. Just like Cordelia, like all the victors she aspires to share a legacy with, Eulalie wants to live her life with all the certainty of a calamity.
And when the dust clears, and the carnage is washed away, there she will be. Sitting on her throne crowned with gold.
