part i.
Character name: Katniss Everdeen
Fandom:The Hunger Games
Species:
Character powers: No supernatural powers or abilities. Katniss is, however, an excellent bowsman.

part ii.
1.) Is it acceptable for your character to be mind-controlled or persuaded? How susceptible are they to mind control, hypnotism, or suggestion? Yes. Katniss is strong-willed, stubborn and independent, so I would say that she's probably not too susceptible to suggestion but anything involving mind control powers is fair game.
2.) Is it acceptable for your character to have their mind read? Does this include traumatic memories? What is their mind like (disturbing, orderly, joyful, surprisingly empty, etc.)? If the character has psychic walls or preventative measures against psychic interference, please explain. Yes, mind reading of anything and everything is fair game. Her mind is constantly busy though I would imagine somewhat organized. She's very introverted and introspective, spending more time thinking rather than speaking. Her mind would display an intelligence and a strong awareness and caution to everything around her.
3.) Are thoughts mentioned in narration acceptable for a telepath to pick up? Everything in narration is fair game!
4.) What about emotions, in the case of an empath? What sort of general emotional reading would such a character receive from yours? General emotions that would radiate from Katniss are caution, mistrust, self-deprecation, anger, and sadness. She's not exactly the most cheerful girl ever.
5.) Are there any aspects of your character's mind, emotions, or memories you would like to be picked up, mentioned, or used in character? Conversely, is there anything that should not be noticed, or at least never mentioned? I'm really not picky. Given that she's almost constantly thinking about her current situation, I would imagine that the easiest things to pick up would be whatever's currently in narrative. But she has had a sucky past two years of her life - so all of that should be near the surface, especially thoughts about Peeta or Prim.

part iii.
1.) Physically speaking, what stands out about your character? Imposing size? Physical scarring? Tattoos? Grey eyes, olive skin, and dark hair are described again and again in the books. Her hair is just about always tied back in a braid (unless otherwise indicated) and is a bit raggedy when down - strands different lengths, etc. Most notable is a series of scars from burns and skin grafts that cover her body everywhere but her face.
2.) Is your character immune to any of the following: poisons, chemical agents, telekinetic influence, radiation, or types of illnesses? None of the above.
3.) Is your character physiologically different from a human in any way? This can include their blood, skin, hair, et cetera being made up of something unusual or simply differing in construction and durability. Nope.
4.) Are you amenable to having your character be harmed in any way? How far are you comfortable with injury to you character going? Does this include being fed on by vampires, willingly or unwillingly? If it's in context or in character for the situation at hand, I'm good with it. She will put up a struggle in most cases, though. Survival is key for Katniss.
5.) Is it acceptable for other characters with abilities of shapeshifting or disguise to imitate your character? Does this include ability mimicry? Go for it.

part iv.
1.) Can your character's presence or aura be noticed by other characters, and how would it look/feel to them? How would it manifest to a character with no supernatural abilities, if at all? Peeta describes Katniss through out the books as not knowing the effect she has on others. While she considers her actions to be inherently selfish, those around her tend to view them more as noble and admirable - making Katniss someone they want to be like or be influenced by.
2.) Can your character be affected by magic spells and curses? Yes.
3.) Can your character be affected by sin and corruption, and be tempted toward expressing their darker urges (of whatever flavor)? I think it would depend on the circumstance, but I don't see why not. She can be very violent and vengeful when the situation calls for it - especially if someone she cares for is endangered. She's human and not above temptation.
4.) What sort of sins is the character prone toward, and how might they best be tempted, if you are interested in such an event? Violence/anger, definitely. I'd be good with an event like this.
5.) Are you amenable to the character receiving prophetic visions, including as part of a plot? She wouldn't know what to make of them, but sure.

part v.
1.) Is threadjacking allowed? Under what circumstances? Yes, under any circumstance that makes sense.
2.) Is it acceptable for canonmates that are updated further than yours to inform your character of events yours has not yet experienced?Yep, but I feel like this is very unlikely.
3.) Are there triggering or upsetting topics you would like other characters to avoid mentioning to yours for the sake of continued comfort (racist words, homophobia, self-injury, etc.)? While there are triggering/upsetting topics that would make Katniss uncomfortable, I have no problem exploring this. It's all a part of her character.
4.) Are there any additions you would like us to make to this survey? Not that I can think of! This was fun!
