Vanya McAlister was distraught when her father was killed by a Capitol soldier during the war. It was hard to keep herself together, but it also became her job to keep her family from breaking when it happened. Despite how young she was when it happened, she was the one who had to convince her brother not to try to enact revenge. She was also the one who had to keep her mother from just giving up on life altogether.

They got through it all, but it was rough, and now, Vanya aims to be a mediator and kind soul in every situation that she can. She's the peaceful type. She won't fight unless she absolutely has to, which she believes has worked to her advantage in life. It's kept her out of direct conflict and, for the most part, out of harm's way.

When the Hunger Games were introduced, however, she became fearful of what it would mean for her. Especially after watching the first three years of the Games and seeing how those who refuse to fight still die such terrible deaths, she is scared of what would happen if she ended up being picked for the Games.

Would she still refuse to fight if it truly came down to life or death? In all honesty, she doesn't think she could get herself to do it if she were up against another human being.
