Portia

Portia was the stylist of Peeta Mellark for the 74th and 75th Hunger Games.

Biography
Portia is obviously a native of the Capitol due to her creative fashions she makes and the clothes she wears. Portia was a newer stylist since the newer ones get poorer districts. It is speculated she might've chosen District 12 for the district she works for. It is possible she rebelled against the Capitol, but it was never confirmed.

The Hunger Games
The 74th Hunger Games was Portia's first year as a stylist. Her stylist partner is Cinna, a friend. Since she was a newer stylist, she was presumably assigned to District 12. Portia is first introduced when all of the tributes receive their training scores. Once Peeta's prep team finishes up, Portia gets Peeta into his opening ceremonies costume. Cinna explains to Katniss that the coal miners thing is overdone so they wanted to spice it up, showing their skills. When they get on their chariot, Portia and Cinna adjust their positions to make them absolutely perfect, showing their skills. Cinna used a synthetic fire to make it seem as if they're on fire. When Katniss says she knows Lavinia an avox, Portia is shown to be curious how she knows her. Afterwards they celebrate together with Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, and Effie. Katniss says Cinna and Portia have a civilizing effect on Haymitch and Effie, making her comfortable. When its time for the training scores, Katniss says she wishes the stylists hadn't come because she didn't want to disappoint them. Later during preparations for the Games, Portia is filled with joy with the scores Katniss and Peeta recieve.

Portia designs a black suit with flamed accents on the sleeves for Peeta's interview with Caesar Flickerman. Even though it isn't shown, Portia gives Peeta his jacket for the arena before he is launched into the arena from the Launch Room through a tribute tube.

When Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark escape from the arena, Katniss meets with the District 12 team, and she notes how Effie Trinket, Haymitch Abernathy, and Cinna are all present to greet Katniss, with the exception of Portia who hadn't shown up. This gives Katniss a bad feeling. Haymitch confirms Peeta is fine and Portia is with him.

Catching Fire
Portia goes on the Victory Tour throughout the districts from 12 to the Capitol with the entire District 12 team. In District 12 Effie states how she's somewhat of an architecture expert. Portia sarcastically states she's heard that before. While in District 11, after the old man whistled Rue's four note mockingjay song and is shot in the head, Effie, Haymitch, Cinna, and Portia are standing beneath a static screen with much anxiety in their facial expressions.

Portia sarcastically says she's heard that before. At the party at President Snow's mansion, she introduces Plutarch Heavensbee the 75th Hunger Games' new Head Gamemaker to Katniss and Peeta. Effie Trinket always wanting to stay on schedule gathers Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, Cinna, and Portia to leave the President's Mansion.

Portia is also present at dinner, chariot rides, and the Training Center. Before the 3rd Quarter Quell begins, Portia gives Peeta his jumpsuit to wear in the arena. After that she is never seen again alive in the books.

Death
In Mockingjay, Plutarch Heavensbee states that all the stylists on Peeta's team led by Portia were all executed by President Snow on live television. The exact way how she died was never said, but it is assumed that President Snow had Peacekeepers kill the stylists. Or possibly her death was very painful, as Snow tends to cause. It is possible that Snow had her killed to threaten Katniss and the rebels.

Skills
Portia is shown to have amazing stylist and fashion skills. Her costumes she dresses Peeta look exceptionally professional, even though she is a new stylist. Portia seems to have some prior training at being a stylist. In both books she is actually seen in, Portia is shown to always be successful at her costumes and clothes she designs for Peeta.

Physical description
She has a lighter shade of dark skin. Portia is depicted in the film with puffed blonde hair that is slightly curled and golden, sharp nails. She also often wears a black dress, at both the training scores and chariot rides. Portia wears black lipstick and purple-pinkish eyeshadow. Portia wears black high heels, common for the Capitol along with black translucent stockings. Also after Peeta is attacked by Katniss she is shown wearing a pink and white striped dress. Portia is also shown to be tall, about 5'8. Her teeth are porcelain white.
