Lila Slayte

"I have my brain. That's my weapon! I don't need to be strong physically when I am just as capable being strong mentally" - Lila to Elias

Lila Althea Slayte is the younger half-sister of District Thirteen President, Lukas Blair. Lila is usually not allowed outside of the bunker due to her brother wanting to keep her safe. Lila works as one of the very few Rebel medics and is highly skilled in that area. She was taught all she knows about healing by her late mother and her sister-in-law and best friend Cora Cane. Lila is protected at all times by her brother and the love of her life, Bryce Hennings. Though more recently, Lila has decided that she will no longer be on the sidelines. It is time to take action.

Early Life
Lila Althea Slayte was born in District Thirteen to her mother, Julia Oden and her father Elias Slayte. She was also the one and only (half) sibling of Lukas Blair. Throughout her childhood her primary caretaker was her older brother of five years. Lila wanted to be just like her brother. Her family life was okay for the most part. They did well income wise as Lila's mother worked in textile productions and her father worked in nuclear weapon production. While her brother was loud and always finding himself in trouble, Lila was the more reserved child who just liked to watch and observe.

Interest in Medicine
When Lila was little her Mother always reminded her about what her middle name meant. "Althea means peace!," Julia would always tell Lila and smile at her. Lila didn't understand why she would always remind her until she saw a peacekeeper shoot one of her childhood friends who protested against the Capitol.

Lila's father wanted her to be a fighter like her brother, but that wasn't the future she saw for herself. Lila hated the concept of war and wanted peace. She decided that she wanted to be someone who healed. So she started learning about Medicine.

She was able to put her new interest into action every time Lukas would come home with some new injury. She never asked how he got it, but always patched him up before anyone could fuss at him. Her father thought it was foolish and that she should leave medicine to the professionals, but Lila knew he would never understand peace comes from within. She knew that violence wasn't always the answer.

Tattoo


After her mother died, Lila got a tattoo of three doves on her collarbone. The three doves represent her, her brother, and her mother. All her mother wanted for Lila in life was to be happy and at peace. The tattoo isn't just a reminder for Lila, but a reminder for everyone she crosses paths with so they can ask the meaning. Lila always says, it means we still have hope for peace in the world.

Becoming the "Miracle Medic"
Lila was watching the people of her District die and she knew she had to do something. All of her research and training had led to this moment. The Rebellion was very short on medics and Lila knew this was her chance to step up to the plate.

Cora Cane
Cora is not only Lila's Sister-In-Law, but her best friend. When Cora came to Thirteen she and Lila clicked like two halves of a broken necklace. Always meant to find each other. Cora had arrived months after the death of Lila's mom, Julia Oden. Lila was not in a good place mentally or physically. Cora helped her through this and they both shared secrets and became closer.

Mikael Orimura
Mika and Lila first met when Mika was rescued and brought to District Thirteen. Lila was still in an immense amount of pain from her mother's passing and confided in Mika. Mika shared the same pain and he helped her through it. He also though knew that Lila had taken interest in him and decided one night in the dining hall to act on it.

The two proceeded to have a one night stand and that was also Lila's first time. Lila fell in love with him after, but since Mika couldn't be tied down he did not share the same feelings. They went on to become good friends and even best friends. In their tight knit close group of friends, Mika and Lila are even sometimes considered the comedic reliefs. Mika is just funny, but Lila can be clueless and highly emotional which makes her funny.

Mika slowly began to be almost like a second brother to Lila and the two ignore what happened in the past. Mika looks after her when Lukas cannot and takes care of her like a sister. Mika's death takes a very harsh toll on Lila and she goes into a heavy state of depression. Mika brought so much joy into her life that Lila felt as if it had been all sucked out at once. Even though she watched him die, she goes into a state of denial for two months following his death. She refuses to admit to herself that he is dead. He was her second love and he taught her the most. That life is hard and sometimes you have to put on a smile and act like it's the time of your life.

Alilune Blaire Lovelace
Lila and Luna are unlikely friends and don't get along at first which upsets Lila. One of Lila's first encounters with her is during Lukas' election party when District Eight was bombed. Luna physically attacks Lukas in a moment of rage and grief and this ultimately sets Lila off. They are both seen as bridesmaids at Cora's wedding, but Lila holds the title of maid of honor. Luna being a fighter and Lila having a more peaceful mindset could be the reason they aren't really that close.
