Early Life
Alaska had an extremely happy childhood with two loving parents and a younger sister, Cygnus, however when she was seven years old her mother contracted cancer and became extremely ill, and passed away within the year. After that her father drew back into himself and could no longer focus on raising Alaska. Alaska instead became a mother figure to her younger sister. Alaska began drinking when she was fourteen with one of her friends, and then took up smoking. Cygnus too began to make poor decisions and choose socialising and romance over her schoolwork, and Alaska knew that the loss of her mother had truly affected the pair.
Before the Games
Alaska's father moved out of their family home to get more space when Alaska was seventeen. The girl was growing more and more distant from her thirteen-year old sister, who resented that Alaska acted like a mother to her.
62nd Hunger Games
Reaping and Training
Alaska was reaped alongside Curtis Grant in District Seven, and around the time of the Reaping it had just started to seem like her life was looking up again. Her father had started making money and Cygnus was beginning to calm down a little. Alaska wanted nothing more than Cygnus to be alright at the end of Reaping day, so when Alaska's name was called there was a small relief that it wasn't her sister's. This relief was replaced by guilt that she was leaving her family after her mother had already left, however Alaska knew that she could combat this by winning and coming home.
Alaska met the members of her future alliance in the Training Centre while they had already begun to discuss teaming up between themselves. Dragan Baron and Almar Nichols accepted Alaska into their group, and soon after the three gained Vitani Loewen as a fourth member. They called their alliance Team NDNTRA.
Alaska's Private Training Session
In Alaska's Private Training Session, she demonstrated her skill at first aid, first wounding herself with a knife and then sewing up the wound. The Gamemakers awarded Alaska a 5, as they were intrigued but not impressed.
Alaska loved the attention she got from being on stage during her interview. Confident that she looked beautiful and that the crowd loved her, she responded to Caesar's questions with witty remarks and jokes. However, when she started talking about her family she began to feel extremely homesick, and this manifested as anger. She snapped first at Caesar and then at the Capitol as a whole, but calmed down again by the time she was asked to leave a message for her family, telling them she loved and missed them.
Bloodbath
Alaska and her allies made it their priority to find each other as soon as the hong rang at the Bloodbath. Although several fights were already going on around them when they did meet up, no tributes had died yet. Aria Wolfe was the first to spot the new weaponless group, instantly lashing out at Alaska herself with a whip. Soon after Ellea Banks joined the attack, and Alaska and her alliance retaliated by targeting Ellea. Aria, sensing that she may be next, turned to attack another tribute, leaving Alaska safe for the meantime, but then Bran Wolfe, Aria's brother, lunged for Alaska himself. Once Alaska's allies registered this they turned on Bran, who fled with the help of his sister. Alaska turned her attention on Riker Mills, a weaker tribute, but his allies came to his aid, with Damion Winters leading a second attack on Alaska. Knowing that if she stayed she would only receive more injuries, Alaska turned and fled.
Day 1
Although Alaska had lost sight of her two male allies, she waited for Vitani by the River Styx, a distance away from the Cornucopia. However, while washing her throwing knives, she was ambushed by Curtis Grant, her district partner. When Curtis recognised Alaska, he stopped attacking her and urged her to flee before anyone else came and found her. Alaska no longer cared about her allies, realising it was becoming a case of every man for himself. Instead, she stuck by Curtis - who had a new vacancy in his alliance as Aria had been scouted by the Career pack - and joined his band of allies, The White Walkers, instead.
Day 2
On day two, Alaska and her new allies were ambushed by two muttations based off mythical harpies. Alaska knew these birds would be a danger if they didn't kill them, however Curtis and Bran had other plans, turning instead on their fourth ally Ellea who they resented for abandoning them the night before in favour of hunting other tributes. Alaska followed Bran's lead and attacked Ellea, but because she didn't fully understand the reasons why, quickly turned her attacks back to the harpies instead. Curtis and Bran were relentless, even as Ellea begged for them to stop, and eventually Curtis went all the way to killing her. Alaska, horrified, followed her allies dumbly as Curtis carried Bran away from the scene.
Day 3
After resting in the Statue Garden, the three remaining allies were ambushed by more muttations on Day 3, these ones spitting raptors. Curtis and Bran seemed to have calmed down from the day before, aiming for the raptors only with no treachery to each other. Alaska landed the final blow on one muttation that all three tributes had been wounding repeatedly, and then killed the second one on her merit alone, throwing her knife directly into its eye and killing it instantly.
To their surprise, as the second muttation fell, one of the statues in the garden (of past victor Heron Kimberling) came to life and seized Bran. Curtis and Alaska finally managed to free Bran and the three escaped the Statue Garden before anything else could happen.
As the three left the area, Alaska began to feel woozy, and realised that she had been poisoned by one of the muttations. Curtis and Bran left her for dead, and as Alaska grew weaker she didn't blame them. However, just when she thought there was no hope, a sponsor parachute fell from the sky, containing the antivenom she needed to live. Unable to find Curtis and Bran again, Alaska rested where she had received the parachute, hoping everything would turn out alright.
Day 4

Finding her way back to the River Styx, Alaska was lucky to be picked up by the alliance Stars of Orion, comprised of Heather Elliot, Demeter Merwin-Glory and Ailis Copper, who took her in rather than attacking her.
Alaska rested with the Stars of Orion during the night, when all four tributes were plagued with terrible nightmares. When they woke up, they weren't aware of themselves, or of each other. Instead, each tribute waved their weapons wildly, trying to fight off the spectres of their dreams. Alaska threw her knives at the visions she saw and one of them his Demeter, who in turn had managed to cut Alaska's arm with her xiphos. However, the blind attacks that Alaska both dealt and received were cut short, when Heather lunged at her nightmares with a precision blow, which went deep into Alaska's eye, sending her falling to the ground, close to death.
Death
In Alaska's dying moments she thought of her District - first Cygnus, then both her friends and enemies at school, and finally her mother. In the vision, her mother told her a story, and Alaska fell asleep, dead.
