What would they do if they were thrown into the Hunger Games?
How long do you think they'd survive? What would their tactics be? How would they get sponsors? Which of their skills would be most useful in the arena?
Smyrna would be from 1 or 2, She'd spend her whole life training for the Hunger Games in a female only environment then volunteer when she was told she was ready. She'd get all the usual scores that careers normally get and once inside would spend her time brutally slaying all of the men one after another. She'd get stuck at that point though. She'd probably pick the other female career as her equal and have an epic fight to the death battle with her - probably losing. Where she would come would ultimately depend how many of the girls were killed by the other tributes.
Glamoria would volunteer on the behalf of someone she didn't think would make it in the games and score high points in everything, gain a good amount of sponsors and be pretty good on Caesar's Show and maybe even become a favourite.
Then she'd go and waste it all at the Cornucopia. She'd see all the weaker and younger people failing to escape and would step in making sure the careers and 'nasty' fighters focused on her until she inevitably dies by them.
Malliya would be interesting. Knowing she has no advantage in fighting she would escape into the nearby woods and wait the whole thing out - only killing if someone got too close. She'd wait until the end then attempt to pick off the last tribute. Winning or not depending on how good that person was.
I wrote my oolong thing before I realised that its pretty much the same as your Glamoria piece. Thus: friend-fanfic.
"It beeseemeth me that thou art a passing good warriour", bellowed the crazy elf, striding towards Glamoria. "Moreover, it is greatly to thy worship that thou should claim this melee for thyself, and so ease the passage of those that run foot-hot from worshipful combat." He turns his back to her. "Therefore, I beg thee that thou shalt be enfellowship with me against these few that remain, and morover, that thou shalt deal with me in honourable combat when we have the victory; For wit thee, it shall be greatly to my worship to have ado with so hardy a warrior as thee."
