District 4

District 4 is one of the 12 districts of Panem. Its industry is fishing, which is useful for tributes in the Games as they have experience in using nets and tridents, making fishhooks from scratch, swimming, and identifying edible sea life.

Being one of the wealthier districts, District 4 tends to produce Career Tributes who volunteer to participate in the Games. These children are grown and raised to win the Games, making them stronger and much more capable of winning than the average tribute.

Known tributes

 * Mags- (Winner of unknown Games)
 * Was an expert at edible plant life, able to make nearly anything into a fishhook. Is the only known person in the book to be alive when the Hunger Games started, being five at the time. Also participated in the 75th Hunger Games.


 * Finnick Odair- (Winner of The 65th Hunger Games)
 * Was tall, athletic with golden skin, bronze hair, and sea-green eyes. He was very popular and was sponsored by nearly everyone. He received a trident and wove a net out of vines, using them to ensnare and spear his opponents. After the Games, he had many lovers in the Capitol but his heart belonged to Annie Cresta. He also participated in the 75th Hunger Games.


 * Annie Cresta- (Winner of the 70th Hunger Games)
 * Annie Cresta was the only one who truly has Finnick's heart. She went insane when her district partner got beheaded in the games. She won only because a dam broke, flooding most of the arena. Being the best swimmer, she alone survived.

Though never mentioned by name, both tributes from this district seem to die rather quickly in the 74th Games, not making it past the third night. It is rare for Career Tributes to die so quickly. The boy tribute was killed immediately in the initial battle at the Cornucopia. The girl tribute died due to a tracker jacker attack induced by Katniss Everdeen.

Everyday life
Not much is known about District 4's way of living, aside from their specialization in fishing. Even their bread is fish-shaped and tinted green because of the seaweed it contains.
