District 8 female (74th HG)

The District 8 female was a tribute who participated in the 74th Hunger Games.

74th Hunger Games
In the film, she is first seen at the tribute parade with her district partner, wearing pink and blue costumes with a star pattern with bow hats on them.



The Games
This female tribute of District 8 possibly participated in the bloodbath at the Cornucopia, where she battled for supplies. Unfortunately, the supplies in which she collected were unimpressive and would not keep her alive for a long amount of time. She made her way into the forest. Having no sleeping gear or extra clothing, she eventually gave into the cold and foolishly started a fire. By sheer coincidence, her fire she started was very near the tree Katniss had chosen to rest in for the night. She was found by the Careers during the early morning of the next day. Katniss, at first, thought the victim could be Rue, but quickly dismissed the thought. By the sound of a high-pitched scream when Cato stabbed the District 8 girl with his sword, Katniss presumed that the victim was a girl. After Cato stabbed the female tribute, he walked away, thinking she was dead. When no cannon sounded to signal her death or a nearby hovercraft to transport her dead body, the Career tributes began to argue as to whether she was actually dead. Eventually, Peeta went back and finished her off. In the movie, she dies just after nightfall on the first day. She is killed by Glimmer using Cato's sword. Katniss Everdeen hears a scream, marking her death, followed by the sound of the cannon. Ultimately she placed 13th out of 24 in the book and 12 th in the film.

Muttation
Her DNA would later be taken and mixed with a wolf, creating a Muttation, which were sent after Cato, Katniss and Peeta at the Cornucopia. The mutts mauled Cato and ate his dead body after Katniss put him out of his misery, whether or not the District 8 female's mutt survived or not is unknown.

Trivia

 * In the film, she weighs 116 pounds and is 13 years old.
 * In training, her odds of winning were 5-1.
 * In the arena, she wears a goldenrod yellow jacket.


 * The District 8 female, along with both tributes from District 9, and the female tribute from District 10, never showed up for training. They never appeared at the bloodbath either. They also didn't have their interviews shown along with the District 3 female.


 * She, along with Cato, was one of the tributes in the 74th Hunger Games to be mortally wounded, and then mercifully killed by a District 12 tribute. She was mortally wounded by Cato and then mercifully killed by Peeta in the book, while Cato was mauled by mutts, and mercifully killed by Katniss.


 * Her death was changed in the movie because when she sees the Careers, Cato gives Glimmer his sword instead of Cato killing her himself. Her cannon is also released shortly after her scream whereas in the book, her death is held, as Cato only mortally wounds her and Peeta has to finish her.
 * It is possible that Cecelia was her mentor.
 * In the film, she is not seen at the Cornucopia, indicating she wasn't present for filming.
 * On the Hunger Games DVD, she is given the name Savannah.
