It’s even better when there is a combination of both. Sadly, Raquel doesn’t outsmart The Professor’s team and neither is she brutal. But When it’s time for everyone to be selfish, it’ll be the end of the road for her.
4 Helsinki

At the games, she might grow tired of patiently waiting for tributes to attack and she’ll go looking for them. This way, she’ll expose herself to attacks. Her habit of abandoning means she’s likely to walk out on tributes that she makes an alliance. Being on her own means she’ll be unable to properly defend herself.
