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

Tribute Parade
In the film, she is first seen at the tribute parade with her district partner, wearing pink and blue costumes that symbolize jesters with a star pattern and bow hats on them. She is seen in many different shots in the parade scene, waving excited at the audience.



The Games
The District 8 female ran away from the bloodbath. Later into the games, she gave into the cold and foolishly started a fire. The fire she started was 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.Then Cato stabbed the District 8 girl with his sword. 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 8 hours into 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. Shortly after, it goes to Caesar and Claudius, where her portrait is shown. Ultimately she placed 12 th out of 24th in the book and 13t h 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. It is unknown if her mutt survived.
