   Summary

   Cornelia Flickerman's life motto was inspired by her father: "The show must go on." No matter the cost, no matter what troubles or tribulations were thrown her way. There was nothing that could keep a Flickerman from a star performance, and so her father prepared her all throughout her childhood to become the next Master of Ceremonies. What her father hadn't prepared her for was Finnick Odair.
