Biography[]

50th Hunger Games[]

The usual number of contestants from each district was two (one male and one female), but because the 50th Hunger Games was a Quarter Quell, the Capitol demanded that twice the number of tributes be reaped for the event. They chose this to remind the districts that for every Capitol citizen that was killed during the Dark Days, two rebels were also killed.[2] This year, the District 1 female was one of two unnamed girls representing her district, alongside two unnamed male tributes.[1] It's unknown whether she volunteered for the Games, but the practice is common in Districts 1, 2, and 4,[3] so it's likely that she did.

Arena[]

The District 1 female was part of a pack of ten Career tributes. This alliance was likely responsible for most of the eighteen bloodbath deaths. They claimed supplies from the Cornucopia, including the only safe food and drink in the arena, and for the first three days, they scoured the mountain area for potential victims. During this time, a number of tributes died to the arena's many poisonous substances. On the fourth day, a volcanic eruption killed another dozen tributes, including half the Careers. At this point, the District 1 female was one of thirteen total tributes left alive. The lava flow forced them into the forest, possibly separating her from her four allies. She managed to survive despite the mutts and poisons.[1]

Death[]

The District 1 female made it to the final two, at which point she tracked down and fought Haymitch Abernathy, one of the male tributes from District 12. Both sustained nearly fatal wounds in their battle; Haymitch cut out her eye, and she disemboweled him with her axe. He had to hold his intestines in while he fled. She chased him to a cliff and threw her axe, but Haymitch collapsed on the ground, dodging the attack. Due to the severity of his wounds, she thought she could outlast him even without her weapon, but Haymitch knew the axe would be flung back by the force field at the arena's edge and lodge itself in her head. She died instantly, leaving Haymitch as the victor.[1]

Physical description[]

The District 1 female is described as being "bigger than Haymitch and just as fast".[1]
