Clove

''"We're going to kill you. Just like we did with your pathetic little ally...what was her name? Rue? Well first Rue, then you, and I think we'll let nature take care of Lover Boy. How does that sound?" -''Clove

Clove was the female tribute from District 2 in the 74th Hunger Games.

Biography
The girl tribute from District 2, Clove was an expert at knife-throwing and enjoyed hunting at night with Cato.

Clove managed to kill the first Tribute of the games when she threw a knife into the male from District 9's back, and Katniss was meant to be next, but Clove's knife punctured her pack instead. Clove carried on participating in the massacre while Katniss escaped.

As in most Games, the Career Tributes teamed up together at the beginning of the game with the addition of Peeta Mellark, the male tribute from District 12. The Careers picked the Cornucopia clean of weapons and supplies and set out in the early morning to catch any victims off guard. They came across the female from District 8 after seeing her fire, and they wounded her severely. When Peeta left the group to finish her off, Clove and the other Careers decided to keep Peeta alive so he could lead them to Katniss.

When the Careers next found Katniss she was up a tree and, although they couldn't get up it to eliminate her they camped out below the tree, during which Rue told Katniss to drop the tracker jacker nest on them. Clove was stung multiple times, but unlike the female from District 4 and Glimmer, had the sense to go to the lake by the Cornucopia and regroup.

Next Clove, Cato, Marvel and the male from District 3 started hunting down Rue while Katniss successfully destroyed most of the remaining Careers' supplies, after which Cato killed the male from District 3, Clove and Marvel calmed him down long enough to explain to him that the tribute who destroyed their supplies must have died, so they waited for nightfall. Only then did they realize that the "bomber" was still alive, so Clove, Marvel and Cato went hunting for Katniss.

The feast
The feast was Clove's biggest scene. When Katniss came to get the blood poisoning medicine for Peeta, Clove confronted her and started throwing knives at Katniss, managing to slice open her forehead. During the time it took Katniss to take in the wound Clove was on top of her, taunting her and planning to make Katniss' face her own "artwork".

Cato was far off, scouting, when Clove admitted to being behind Rue's murder, and was obviously quite pleased with herself. Clove promised that she would give Katniss a slow, painful death, outlining her victim's face with her dagger, and preparing to strike.

Death
Right when Clove dove in for the kill, Thresh picked her up and threw her against the ground. He then took a rock, said to be the size of a small loaf of bread, and bashed her skull in, causing internal bleeding, which she died from shortly afterwards. Thresh then let Katniss escape because she had avenged Rue's death. Cato, her district partner, rushed to save her, but arrived too late. Despite their callous exteriors, Cato seemed hurt after losing Clove. Clove placed 6th out of 24 tributes.

Muttations
When the wolf muttations of the fallen tributes appeared chasing Cato, Clove's was one of the pack, with dark fur and green eyes. It is unknown if the muttation of Clove survived the battle between the pack and Cato, Peeta and Katniss. Clove was also the leader of the pack of mutts.

Catching Fire
Clove appeared in one of Katniss' nightmares before the 75th Hunger Games. Clove reminded her that she can't run away from her fears and the Hunger Games themselves, thereafter turning into a mutt and chasing Katniss.
