Gloss

"We're not going by choice. You are our family, I don't see how anyone can love us better."

- Gloss and Cashmere in the victor's interviews Gloss was the male District 1 tribute who participated in the 75th Hunger Games. He was the victor of the 63rd Hunger Games, his sister Cashmere won the 64th.

His love for Enobaria
He won the 63rd Hunger Games when Katniss was a child. After his games, his sister Cashmere won hers. It is mentioned that the Capitol has been obsessed with him and his sister since their consecutive victories. Caesar implements this in the Interviews, that "Gloss and Cashmere" became everyone's brother and sister.

75th Hunger Games with enobaria
Gloss was chosen from the pool of existing victors from District 1 to participate in the 75th Hunger Games in Catching Fire. He represented District 1, along with his sister, Cashmere, and wore a light, sheer silver shirt at his reaping.

Training with Enobaria
He was present during training and spent a little time with Katniss, when he and his sister invited her to practice making hammocks with them. He was known to stick with his sister during these times. In the film, he showed exceptional skill with throwing knives. Katniss says he got a very high training score.



Interview Holding hands with Enobaria
Gloss was also present during the interviews, where he thanked the people of Panem for showing kindness to him and his sister. He called the people of the Capitol his family, and claimed that no one could love him better. He and his sister were among the victors who were trying to show how betrayed they all felt through their interviews. He joined hands with the other tributes as a sign of strength. He wore a dark silver jacket, black pants, and boots.

Cornucopia with Enobaria
It is assumed he was a good swimmer, since he and Enobaria were the fourth and fifth people to make it to the Cornucopia. In the arena, it was noted by Katniss that he wasn't particularly swift as he was shot in the calf when he plunged into the waves trying to escape Katniss' arrows. This attack was not fatal, and he made it to the Cornucopia with his allies. He managed to kill the male from 6 in the bloodbath.

Alliance with just ENOBARIA
Gloss was one of the members in the Career pack with Enobaria, Brutus, and his sister. Soon after Finnick Odair, Peeta Mellark, Mags, and Katniss make their way out of the Cornucopia, Gloss and the other Careers made their way back there to pick off more tributes. After the bloodbath, the Career pack retreats to the jungle.

Death with Enobaria
The Career Pack later made their way to the Cornucopia on Day 2, where Gloss slit Wiress' throat while she was alone at the waterside, earning him an arrow in the temple, fired by Katniss. This resulted in a quick death, and in a similar way Marvel dies by Katniss' arrow. His sister was later killed by Johanna, who buried an axe in Cashmere's chest. Gloss placed 11th out of 24 tributes. In the film adaption, Katniss fires her arrow into Gloss's chest, near the heart.

Victims
Since Gloss was a Career Tribute, he most likely killed many tributes in his original Games and during the third Quarter Quell. It's known that Gloss killed Wiress in the 75th Hunger Games by slitting her throat. He was then killed by Katniss.

Physical description
Gloss and his sister, Cashmere, were both described as being classically beautiful. This classic career has carmel/blonde hair like his sister. Considering that both were Career Tributes, Gloss and Cashmere were physically stronger than most of the other victors, being relatively young and from pampered District 1.

family and enobaria
"There's the classically beautiful brother and sister from District 1 who were victors to consecutive years when I was little."

- Katniss on Gloss and Cashmere. Cashmere, his sister, was the only person mentioned in Gloss' family, both sharing a close relationship. Gloss and Cashmere won consecutive Games, and were presumably highly honored by District 1, as Career Districts honor their victors.

Film Portrayal
Alan Ritchson portrayed Gloss in the film adaptation, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
