"Foxface"

Foxface is the nickname that Katniss gives the female tribute from District 5 in The Hunger Games.

Biography
A mysterious tribute from District 5. Her real name is unknow, but is know as Foxface, a nickname given to her by Katniss because she looks like a fox. She had flaming red hair and foxlike features. Foxes are often setotipicaly thougth of as sly and clever. She was very sly and clever.

74th Hunger Games
Foxface never says a word throughout the book, even though Katniss heard her laugh after the Careers' food supply was destroyed and she participated in the interviews, where Katniss said she was "sly and elusive". She talks but has no direct quotes. Quick and clever, she dashes in and out of traps to collect what she needs without bloodshed or contact with anyone. She outwitted everyone, even the Career alliance, but in the end Peeta Mellark defeated her by leaving nightlock at his and Katniss's last camp. It is believed by Katniss Everdeen, that if the tributes were to be given a written test, Foxface would be the smartest. She also believed that if she allied herself with Foxface, she would earn a knife in her back.

It is believed that she didn't participate in the Cornucopia Bloodbath, as she had no weapons at the begining of the games (until she was able to find a knife in the ruins of the mine explosions).

Later on during the Games, she is seen by Katniss Everdeen at the Cornucopia. Foxface makes a variety of movements (which brings Katniss to discover that the area was booby-trapped with mines). Foxface continues with her strange movements, and seems to make a mistake. She squeals, but nothing happens. She then makes her way into the Cornucopia, takes an unnoticeable amount of food, and then runs back to the safety of the woods.

Katniss, seeing that Foxface was able to get pass the traps, figures out that there are mines down there, but isn't willing to go in and step on one of them to set them off and destroy the nearby supplies for the Careers. Instead, she notices a hanging bag of apples, and fires a couple of arrows at it; the bag of apples rips apart, and when the apples fall, they set off the mines. This results in the destruction of the Career's supplies, and the District 3 male's death by Cato's hands. In the ruins of the explosion, Foxface was able to find a knife as she laughs.

The Feast
After several days in the arena, all the remaining tributes needed something desperately. Due to this, it is announced by Claudius Templesmith that there will be a feast. Foxface, as well as the other tributes, ready themselves for the upcoming event.

As Foxface arrives at the feast, she doesn't waste her time with battle. She had been hiding in the Cornucopia, and upon seeing her bag, she sprints out, takes her bag, and quickly evacuates the area. She is not attacked, as the other tributes feared of having their resources (bag) taken away. It is unknow what her 5 pack contains, but as she looks so hunger at her death, it is probaly food.

Death & Muttation
Foxface places third in the Games; a very high.. She is killed after stealing and consuming the Nightlock berries that Peeta Mellark collected, not knowing about the deadly poison. Her body is then taken away by a hovercraft, and has her DNA used for muttation purposes.

Foxface is one of the tributes who have their DNA used for wolfish- muttations. Katniss noticed many mutts, as they had similar characteristics to their fallen tributes. In this case, Foxface was a small wolfish-muttation. She had large razor-sharp claws, fire-red fur and amber eyes. She looked so foxlike when human, she mutt probaly looked just like a fox.

After Cato had fallen off the Cornucopia, Foxface and the other tribute mutts began to feed off him, leaving him as a bloody, raw hunk of meat. Katniss manages to send an arrow into his skull; and as a result, Foxface, along with the other tribute mutts were put away by the Gamemakers.

Physical description
Foxface is the perfect nickname for the sly and sneaky tribute. She has fire-red hair, amber eyes and sharp, fox-like features. Foxface also is smaller than most of the tributes. All tributes are 12 to 18 years old, but her exact age is never said.

Personality
Foxface proved to be one of the smartest and most clever tributes in the games. She demonstrates this several times throughout the book by doing various things, like stealing supplies from other tributes, that benefits her and damages the victims. She was independent, always working alone and was sly and probably untrustworthy. Katniss believed that getting Foxface into an alliance would earn her a knife in the back.

Another one of her clever ideas was demonstrated at the Feast. Foxface hid in the Cornucopia, waiting for the others to come. She didn't waste time with a battle — she ran up, snatched her bag, and quickly evacuated the area. No one would follow her in fear of not getting their own bags. Katniss sees Foxface a few times stealing from the Career Tributes, but being clever enough only to take small amounts that won't be missed (as well as made her way through the mines which were activated by another tribute), as to not arouse any suspicion.

Film portrayal
She will be portrayed by Jacqueline Emerson in the upcoming The Hunger Games film.
