Your Questions are: What do you do for fun? Who is the most important person (or people) in your life? What do you like and hate most about where you live?

Answering as Venatrix from True Vengeance (after the events of the story - spoilers ahead)

My questions were:

1) What brings you joy?

“Heh, that’s a hard one right now…” [nobody laughs] “I guess, um, being outside is nice. Like, when there’a no one around to bother you, out on the trails and stuff. There are a couple behind the Village in the mountains, I like to go running back there. It’s nice not having to think about anything except pushing yourself forwards. So—exercise too, I guess. And—it’s been ages, especially since I can’t use my dominant hand to fight anymore—I miss how it used to feel when I’d fight with my sword. Don’t know if that really falls under joy, it’s a little more intense sometimes, but, like, it sings… if you have the right opponent…” […] “Sorry. Um. I have people, that used to bring me joy. It hurts, to think about them, but sometimes its good…? I don’t know. My brother tells good jokes too. I also like ice cream. …I guess that’s more things than I thought. Huh.”

2) What motivates you?

“I can tell you what used to motivate me: winning the Games and avenging my sister’s death. Then I won the Games. And my sister is still dead. And so is my best friend, and my—my Mari, and so many… I don’t know what motivates me anymore, but they won’t stop being dead. …I told the Head Gamemaker I wanted to kill him so—” [laughs weakly] “—maybe that.”

3) Do you feel guilt and if so what for?

“Oh. Uh—I killed eight people. Most of them—most of them didn’t deserve it. Maybe some of them did, but I…argh. I let my best friend die. I let my sister die. I killed the girl that I—that I wanted to love. That I—I could have loved, in another life. Maybe. I did, I… I almost killed my father. He deserved it, but I still… The only reason I am alive is because twenty-five people aren’t—I didn’t win anything, I just made it worse. I didn’t mean to make it worse.”

This was a fun one (:
