Optimo Braun and Dazzle Martello (100th Hunger Games Victor-Tributes)

• Berserk Button: Allura's death seems to be this to Optimo, who's revealed to be his late sister.

After being mocked and belittled by Octavia, Dazzle snaps at being called "the rock girl" by Octavia after she kills Begonia and slices the tendons in the back of her feet.
