Blaze Koenig

"Rookie"

- Blaze, uttering her catchphrase

Blaze was an inmate at San Hill, and one of the The March Nine. She had no other known name and was sometimes referred to as "Jane Doe" by the staff.

Appearance
Upon her arrival at San Hill, Blaze had a tightly cropped hairstyle that was dyed blue, although over time this grew out to reveal dirty blonde hair. She had multiple tattoos covering her right arm.

Personality
Aggressive and condescending towards those she considered to be "rookies".

Season One
On her first day, Blaze put herself on the radar by sitting on the floor of the cafeteria rather than sitting at a table. She earned the nickname "Floor Girl" and the reputation for being eccentric. She was involved in a squabble, orchestrated by Sanders with Jason Zharkov to cause a distraction so he could steal a spork to turn into a shiv.

While initially being hostile towards her cellmate Della Prince and falsely accusing her of planting a shiv in their cell after an inspection, she appears to have warmed up considerably to her since she started working in the kitchen and improved the cafeteria food. Blaze's relationship with Della comes across as a little obsessive and she is quick to become defensive if anyone else is speaking to Della, showing potential signs of being infatuated by her.

Season Two
Blaze begins season two in the midst of an unusual punishment given by Odysseus that has her confined to her cell, subsisting solely on bread and water. She was unable to cope during this punishment which caused the breakdown of the sort-of relationship that she'd developed with Armando.

When Armando finally ends it with her, Blaze took it upon herself to instigate vengeance. Making a call to Meg, she outlined a plan to "make sure that his partner doesn't get hurt" but clearly meaning the opposite. She'd learned that Armando had a partner on the outside after a warning/visit from Raphael Werner back in Season One. She'd even spoken to Della about potentially getting her revenge somehow.

The animosity between her and Armando grew over time which has led to some tense confrontations. As far as she was aware, the plan she'd given to Meg had gone through all fine and that Brick had been taken care of. She remained unaware that Meg had actually tried to call off the plan and so instead her best friend Deadeye had taken it into her own hands to make sure it was carried out, and despite this Brick survived and was in critical condition for a time.

Everything came to a head when a storm raged in Chicago, knocking out the power to the prison and causing everything to go dark, creating the perfect storm of events for her undoing. She tried to get back at Armando in the cafeteria herself, but ultimately he was too strong for her and overpowered her, filled with rage, hatred and the desire to avenge his partner on the outside. She took several injuries to the shoulder and stomach before being fatally stabbed in the jugular vein.
