Chanilsa would have, in all likelihood, volunteered for someone younger than herself. She would have hated everything about the games, and would have been just savvy enough to not let it show, whilst still being naive enough to think things could be changed somehow. She'd hate upsetting her mother, but ould know that she understood why she'd done it.
At rank 5, Chan could use a sword, heal her life force, destroy, and judge wounds and power levels (I believe). But the thing that would really stand out in training would be her love of knowledge. She would forget all about the grim reality of the situation and throw herself into learning everything she could at the various lore stations. That would be enough to earn her a solid 6 or 7, and her genuine passion when she recounts all of the things she has learnt might even earn her some sponsors from her interview.
It wouldn't be enough in the games though. She wouldn't stick around for the bloodbath, but I can't see her lasting more than a day or so - she was too trusting, and too nice, to last in that situation. The only thing that would drive her to fight back would be if she made friends and saw them get hurt. She'd almost certainly end up being tricked by another tribute.
--- Tully, at that rank, had no real loyalty but clan. That would have meant getting out alive, and playing the system to do so.
Tully had her ability to get feelings from animals, her claws, strength, the ability to recognise animals and smells, she could tell what things were... and she had a life time of being a gypsy to allow her to play nice with those she didn't like. She'd get through the training without making any enemies, would hopefully impress the judges enough to get... maybe a 7 or 8, maybe more. She'd play of Caeser in the interviews, and I imagine would have a couple of sponsors who would be willing to see how far she could get.
The games themselves would depend on the arena. If she had a wooded area... well, I'd put her in the final 8. She could survive off the land, wouldn't need to get involved in the bloodbath to get hold of weapons, and would have no hesitation in fighting and killing. Tully, in her time, has proven the capacity to be viscious. This would bring it out of her. If she managed to make friends in the training, she'd look out for them, and that would be something that would, ironically, make a loss more likely for her. She'd give her life to protect one of her own, and would see them win over her. If she lost someone she cared about, she'd likely 'turn feral' and hunt down those responsible.
--- Barel. She would have come to the games in a state of serene acceptance, a masked, hooded, silent girl.
She could dart, blade, and rust at range. I think she'd have been seen as a dark horse throughout the lead up to the games; not talking much, displaying her skills in her individual session with a cool precision and answering the questions in her interview succinctly and plainly. If they took away her mask, and healed her scars, the calmness would turn to blankness. An absense of any emotion or personality.
Because at that rank, Barel honestly believed deep down that she didn't really deserve to be alive and being selected for the games would have been proof of that to her. She held onto her scars as a badge of shame, believing she deserved them for what she had caused. I can see her there when the buzzer goes off burning through her mana to rust as many weapons as she could before being taken down. Not for her sake, but out of a sense of following her oath to herself; not standing by and letting others die if she could prevent it, and not causing death herself. It wouldn't have been pretty.
