Yola Nicholas

Yola Nicholas (27 August 13 AS  – 18 June 1  PS ) was the female tribute from District 9 in the 1st Hunger Games. Originally from Stockson, she was 12-years-old and was studying in primary school prior to being reaped for the games.

In the games, Nicholas was the third tribute killed. Immediately after the games began, she rushed for the cornucopia, but was killed by Cashmere Alexander of District 1 with a dagger.

Early life
Nicholas was born in Stockson, District 9 to parents Ellison and Kathi Nicholas. Her family operates a farm, where they all work and grow crops. Nicholas is the youngest of six daughters; her elder sisters include Tania, Jessia, Lina, Samuela, and Penny.

Reaping
Nicholas was reaped for the 1st Hunger Games by District 8 escort Pabllo Chad. As District 9 isn't a district where children are eager to be reaped, there were no volunteers to take her place. The male tribute reaped for the games was Irving Small.

Opening ceremony
In the opening ceremony, Nicholas was styled by the District 9 head stylist Winter Leigh. As District 9's industry is grains, Leigh designed a farmer costume for her tributes. They placed 10th out of 12.

Training
In training, Nicholas shied away from any heavy weaponry, and largely kept to herself. In her private session with the judges, she was given a score of 2. She didn't show any particular skill, but was spared from receiving a 1 due to her small size, quickness, and intelligence.

Games
In the games, Nicholas was the third tribute killed. Immediately after the games began, she rushed for the cornucopia, but was killed by Cashmere Alexander of District 1 with a dagger. She placed 22nd out of 24.
