Mrs. Undersee (born Donner) was the wife of Mayor Undersee, the mother of Madge Undersee and the sister of Maysilee Donner. She lived in District 12 with her family.

Biography[]

When she was younger, her twin sister Maysilee Donner was selected as a tribute for the Second Quarter Quell, the same Hunger Games that Haymitch Abernathy won. Mrs. Undersee was friends with Mrs. Everdeen when they were children. Maysilee died during the 50th Hunger Games and Mrs. Undersee was never the same afterwards, suffering from massive headaches in her adulthood that caused her to lie in bed all day.[1] Her daughter, Madge, told this to Katniss Everdeen. When Katniss asked why they didn't get medicines from the Capitol, Madge responded that even the mayor had his restrictions.[2] After Gale Hawthorne was whipped, Madge asked her mother if she could bring some of her medicine to him and took it to the Everdeens' home, where Gale lay recovering.[3]

Mrs. Undersee, her husband, and Madge, as well as the two people who worked for them, did not survive the bombing of District 12.[4]

Family[]

Mrs. Undersee's husband is the mayor of District 12. She had one daughter, Madge. Mrs. Undersee also had a twin sister named Maysilee, who was killed in the 50th Hunger Games.

    • Pollux and Castor are also described as having a strong physical resemblance to one another, and their names refer to a pair of mythological Greek twins, but they are not explicitly confirmed to be twins in the text.
