Personality:

Johanna Mason is cunning and gutsy. Able to hide herself behind a mask of indifference, she rarely lets anyone see the pain or sadness that is sometimes lurking beneath the surface (perhaps more than we know). She is obsessed with vengeance and prideful.

She has a "wicked ability to murder" and is terse with words. She's sarcastic and grating. The things she cares for, though she professes there is nothing left, she will protect at all costs. Above all she is a fighter, who would spit in the face of her enemies if it suited her--no matter what the cost after.

She can be spiteful and hurtful. Without a doubt, she is selfish (perhaps less so than she let's on). Johanna has few redeeming qualities, except her fierce and unfailing loyalty.

The epitome of a "loose cannon".

Backstory:

Johanna Mason was born in a part of the Kawani lands named Panem. Under the evil rule of President Snow, the twelve districts of Panem were forced to send one male and one female soquilli, into an arena guarded by Ulun'suti and Kalona, to fight to the death.

During the year that she was chosen, Johanna Mason pretended to be weak. She sobbed and played people's emotions, even her partner Wren who wanted to protect her. During the games, it soon became apparent how deadly she was. Wren came to her as he was dying, and she dispatched his killers then killed him so that he would not suffer the long, protracted death of his wound. All the memories of her brother Liam dying years before came rushing back to her.

Finally, she killed the final opponent and was crowned victor--but with that came responsibilities that were difficult to accept. Each year, she would have to mentor more children from her district and watch them die. She wanted to refuse, but her worry for her fiance Ivan, her grandmother and siblings, Greta and Sven kept her from rejecting the conditions of Snow's offer.

When she arrived home, however Johanna found that her grandmother and siblings were dead. She believes it is retribution in some way from Snow. Kept in line, her eventual break-up ends with her rejecting Snow's conditions since she thinks no one can hurt her anymore.

She is proven wrong when Ivan is beaten to death before her eyes. Attacking Snow, she takes a tumble losing her and Ivan's child, her last connection to hope or love.

Eventually, the 75th games calls back the previous victors and she is forced into the arena once again
