Cecelia was the District 8 female tribute who participated in the 75th Hunger Games.^[1] She was also the victor of an unspecified Hunger Games.

Biography

75th Hunger Games

Reaping

Sometime after her victory, Cecelia had three children, who all ran up to her when she was reaped for the third Quarter Quell. Effie Trinket expressed dismay when she found out.^[1]

Chariot rides

In the books, she wasn't described during the chariot rides. In The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, she could be seen wearing a long black dress with large white wires on her shoulders, standing behind the District 10 tributes when Finnick Odair came to talk to Katniss Everdeen.^[2]

Training

After lunch on the first day of training, Cecelia and her district partner Woof were joined by Katniss at the edible insect station. Katniss wished she could mention meeting Bonnie and Twill— two rebels from District 8— in the woods outside her home in District 12, but she couldn't figure out how to bring it up.^[3]

Interviews

Cecelia joined hands with the other twenty-three tributes in a display of rebellion at the end of the interviews.^[4]^[2]

Death

Cecelia was killed in the initial Cornucopia bloodbath, placing somewhere between 17th and 23rd. When Katniss learned of Cecelia's death that night, she grieved for her and remembered the sight of Cecelia's children at the reaping.^[5]

At the end of Catching Fire, when Katniss was on the hovercraft to District 13, Haymitch Abernathy revealed that Cecelia, among others, had known about the rebellion and was a part of the alliance to save Katniss.^[6]

Family

Cecelia had three children by the time of the third Quarter Quell.^[1] Their ages, genders, and fathers are unknown, as is Cecelia's relationship status.

Physical description

Cecelia was described as being around thirty or so, and she was one of the younger victors.^[1] She was depicted with brown hair in the film.^[2]

Etymology

Cecelia's name comes from the Latin "caecus", meaning "blind", and the plebeian family name Caecilia. In Roman mythology, the founder of this family, Caeculus, was born from a spark.

Cecelia also could have been named in connection to Saint Cecilia, who was a Roman martyr sentenced to death for distributing her possessions to the poor. According to legend, attempts to burn her failed, so she was beheaded. After her death, she became the patron saint of musicians,^[7] and she was also associated with songbirds.

-*In the film, neither Cecelia nor Woof are seen during the Fallen broadcast on the first night of the [[Hunger Games (event)|Games]], as their faces are replaced with Katniss, Peeta, Finnick, and [[Mags]]' saddened expressions towards the deceased.
