A lot of Annie's characterization comes from that Finnick actually says "No one becomes a victor by chance (except maybe Peeta)," and includes Annie in that number. She would have had to kill at least one person to really qualify for the title. And I think also that, well, she was a pretty scary girl. It's not a fairytale courtship, it's two broken people trying to put each other back together.

So not prepared. Finnick least of all, I think.

I love the sea. And they way you've written Annie and Finnick (the dialogue, the analogies, the imagery) evokes the aspects of the ocean that I respect the most: the beauty, the calm, sheer power, and the unknown.
Excuse me while I keep reading voraciously.

The sea is absolutely central to this thing -- it's such a giant part of who the two of them are, even when they're away from it. (Your later comment about them embodying different aspects of the sea is spot-on; there's a lot in there about duality, too, and how water can both destroy and renew.)
