Biography
Third Quarter Quell
These victors were quite old and have turned to a narcotic pain killer called Morphling. The Morphling had made their skin sag a bit and turn a vulgar, yellow color. The two of them were quite fascinated in painting due to the effects of the drug, as they spent most of their time training in the camouflage station painting each other and that is what they most likely used to present themselves to the Gamemakers, because that was the only talent they showed during training. This left Peeta with very little supplies left over, and a colossal mess. Before the Games, Haymitch approached Mags, Finnick, Johanna, Wiress, Beetee, Blight, Chaff, Seeder, Cecelia, Woof and the Morphlings to make an alliance to keep both Katniss and Peeta alive, as he knew he could trust them and that they could help Katniss and Peeta in the arena.
Death
During the Games, the Morphlings came to the Cornucopia shortly after Finnick, Mags, Katniss and Peeta had left to battle with the other tributes for the weapons the Cornucopia provided. During this battle, the male Morphling died, but the female managed to escape with her life.
Later when Peeta, Katniss and Finnick were attacked by orange monkey/ape muttations, Peeta was about to be killed by a monkey until the female Morphling jumped in front of Peeta and received a gash in her chest. After Peeta finished off the monkey, he took her body to the beach where he comforts her by telling her the colors of his paint at home and what he is trying to create. The female Morphling took some of her blood and drew a flower on his cheek. He commented it as lovely and she smiled. The female Morphling bled to death and Peeta took her corpse to the water and let it drift off until a hovercraft came to take it away. Katniss didn't know if her shaking before death was caused by the blow from the attack, or withdrawal from the drug. .
Her death was similar to Rue's and Maysilee's, as all were comforted. Also, after thier deaths, Katniss/Peeta/Haymitch all gived them peaceful last moments to defy the capital.
