BiographyEdit

Being a previous victor and a mentor for the tributes of District 4, Mags, an eighty year old woman, loyally volunteered for the 75th Hunger Games in the place of Annie Cresta, becoming a tribute alongside Finnick Odair. She mumbled every time she spoke, Katniss believes it is because of a possible stroke she may have had in the past. While in training for the third Quarter Quell, Katniss watched as Mags displayed her skill of being able to make fishhooks out of nearly anything. This skill, plus the fact that she volunteered to take Annie Cresta's place, made Katniss want Mags to be one of her allies in the arena. Mags was the oldest tribute in the 75th Hunger Games.

While competing in the Quarter Quell , Mags joined an alliance with Katniss, Peeta, and Finnick. She was carried by Finnick most of the time as she wasn't able to walk very fast. Finnick and Mags are flung back when Peeta walks into the force field , due to the force in which Peeta is thrust back in. When Katniss throws some nuts at the force field to determine where it is, Mags eats a mouthful of them. Katniss is alarmed as they don't know if the nuts are poisonous, but Finnick allows her to since he believes

she knows what she's doing. She and Finnick begin to weave objects with big sharp blades of grass while Katniss hunts for water and food. When she returns, they have made a hut and bowls. Mags is deeply saddened when the first day of the games is over and the faces of tributes who have died are shown. When the spile is sent from the sponsors, she ponders what its use could be. Katniss asks if she can fish with it, but she could not, and is enlightened when they find out it gets water from trees. She and Peeta are not alarmed by the twelve bells rung during the night as they were asleep.

DeathEdit

Mags died on Day 2. When the poisonous fog was emitted, Finnick carried her while she was sleeping. When the fog damaged Peeta's legs and rendered him unable to walk, Katniss carried Mags as she was unable to help Peeta, but Katniss was also affected by the fog, and Finnick was unable to carry both Peeta and Mags. Realizing that they would be killed by the fog if they could not move faster, Mags kissed Finnick and courageously sacrificed herself by running straight into the fog so Finnick, Katniss, and Peeta could live. Katniss described Mags as "falling to the ground in a horrible dance" when she was dying and Katniss honored Mags for her bravery.

When Johanna Mason states that Mags was half of Finnick's family because she was his Mentor, Katniss feels great remorse. Later, it is discovered that Mags was part of an even bigger alliance (including at least 13 tributes) that was set on keeping Peeta and Katniss alive.

Film PortrayalEdit

Mags will be portrayed by Lynn Cohen in the upcoming film, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

TriviaEdit

• From her observation in the Training Center, Katniss notes that Mags could make a fishhook out of almost anything.
• It is possible that Mags was a Career Tribute in the 7th-13th Hunger Games as District 4 is known for having Career Tributes, although it is not known how early the Careers began.
• If Katniss is correct about Mags' age, then she is one of the two known characters in the trilogy to have been alive before the Hunger Games started, being around five when they began. The other character is President Snow, who was one year old when they began.
• Mags is also said to make baskets so tightly woven, so that even water couldn't seep through.
