Johanna Mason

Johanna Mason was the female tribute from District 7 in an earlier and unspecified Hunger Games, and again in the third Quarter Quell. It is said that she was the victor of the Hunger Games a few years earlier. She was one of the younger tributes in this Quarter Quell- probably around the age of 19-21. She is the last living female victor of District 7, whose principal industry is lumber.

Biography
In her first Hunger Games, Johanna won by feigning weakness and fatigue, and being altogether a weakling. In actuality, she was strong, sly, and wasn't about to be taken out easily. She surprised all her fellow tributes and won her Games.

The Third Quarter Quell
Johanna proved herself pert when she stripped down in front of Katniss Everdeen and the other tributes of the Quarter Quell. This action was made to tease Katniss, on account that Katniss was very pure and the most innocent of anyone else there. After the arena was destroyed from the inside by Beetee, Finnick, Katniss, Peeta and Johanna herself, she was taken into custody by the Capitol along with Peeta and Enobaria (District 2). She has been described to be very proficent with throwing axes, probably because she was from District 7 which is lumber, embedding one a few inches deep in the Cornucopia.

Alliances
During the 75th Games, Johanna brought Wiress and Beetee, the District 3 tributes, to Katniss, Peeta, and Finnick after Haymitch asked her to, if she wanted to have and alliance with Katniss. Katniss, however, was positive that the real alliance lay between Johanna and Finnick, since the two of them were old friends. At the end of the Games, prior to the escape and capture of several of the tributes from the arena, Katniss thought that Johanna attempted to kill her when she stabbed her left arm, in actuality, she was removing the tracking chip placed by the Gamemakers. Johanna also led Brutus and Enobaria of District 2 away from Katniss, so she could find a way through the force field surrounding the arena.

Victims
She killed Cashmere by burying one of her axes into her chest.

The Rebellion
Johanna was picked up by The Capitol and the end of the 75th Hunger Games, and was held captive and tortured. She was soaked in water and then tortured with electroshocks while captive. Eventually, along with Annie Cresta and Peeta Mellark, she was saved on a mission to The Capitol by the rebels, and was taken back to District 13. In 13 Johanna is trained as a soldier so she can fight in the Rebellion.

Family
Johanna states in Catching Fire that she has no one left that she loves anymore, but yet she says it with such a bitterness that it is infered there is much more to the story. In Mockingjay, it is implied that President Snow killed them because she refused to cooperate with his plans.

Finnick Odair
Johanna and Finnick were friends prior to the 75th Hunger Games, most likely having formed a bond during previous Hunger Games where they were mentors. They were allied during the 75th Hunger Games, along with Wiress, Beetee, Katniss, Peeta, and Mags.

Katniss Everdeen
When they first met, during the 75th Hunger Games in Catching Fire, both Johanna and Katniss had a strong dislike for each other. However, once inside the arena the two were thrown together into an alliance set up by Haymitch, and the rebels of District 13. Even though the two were now allies, they still didn't trust each other. During the escape from the arena at the end of these Hunger Games, Johanna 'attacked' Katniss for the purpose of removing a tracking device from her arm, then lead Brutus and Enobaria, the District 2 tributes, away from Katniss. As a result of this, Katniss began to hate Johanna, until she realized what Johanna had done.

After being rescued from Capitol clutches in Mockingjay, Johanna and Katniss start to become friends. First, Johanna, knowing that Katniss is indebted to her, begins to siphon off Katniss's morphling supply. As a result of the time spent together in the hospital, the two grow closer, and eventually become friends. Once they are released from the hospital, Johanna and Katniss willingly move into a compartment in District 13 together, proving their friendship.

Personality
Johanna is very sly and perceptive. She understands the greater good of the districts, and is willing to give up her life for freedom. She can be pert and difficult at times, though, and is an expert at being deceitful.

Description
Johanna is described as having a wide-set brown eyes and short brown hair. In Mockingjay she returns from the Capitol with a shaved head after being tortured by them but eventually grows pieces of her hair back.
