Glimmer

Glimmer was the female tribute from District 1 in the 74th Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games
Glimmer's interview with Caesar went very well, as she did a great job and looked the part. Katniss said that she was sexy and would probably get many sponsors.

Glimmer was not to be underestimated. Being one of the Career Tributes, she had a good chance of survival and was ready to fight. At the Cornucopia, she snagged a beautiful bow and a quiver of arrows that Katniss wanted and helped pick off the remaining fighters not part of the Careers' Alliance. The Careers discover Peeta and allowed him in the pack so they could get to Katniss. When Cato decided to go up the tree Katniss was trapped in, Glimmer offered him her bow and arrows, but he refused as he could do better with his sword. When Cato fell out of the tree, Glimmer decided to try, but the branches couldn't support her after Cato went up first. It was obvious that she wasn't familiar with the bow and arrows, as she didn't hold the arrow straight and had a hard time nocking the arrow to the bowstring.

Death
Glimmer was killed by tracker jackers that Katniss, who was originally informed of the nest by Rue, sent down on the Career Tributes by cutting off the branch that held it. Glimmer, the girl from District 4, Clove, Marvel, Cato, and Peeta were camping at the bottom of the tree where Katniss was hiding. Rue pointed out a tracker jacker nest to Katniss that was sedated from the smoke of a recently started fire; Katniss then proceeded to saw the nest off of the branch and drop it onto the group. Everyone managed to escape to the lake except for Glimmer and the District 4 girl,recieving multiple stings, who bore the brunt of the stings, fell to the ground, and died. Katniss describes Glimmer's tracker jacker stings as oozing green pus and bursting after her death, but it is unknown if this actually happened or if it was an effect of the tracker jacker's venom on Katniss. Katniss then took the bow and arrows from the dead Glimmer.

Mutt
Glimmer appeared once again towards the end of the Hunger Games to kill the remaining tributes as a mutt. Glimmer along with Marvel, Clove, Foxface, Rue, Thresh and the other 15 unnamed Tributes, all appeared as muttations from the Capitol, which were a combination of the fallen Tribute's DNA and a wolf. Each had an attribute of the fallen Tribute which their mutations were based off of. Glimmer's wolf form had beautiful blonde fur, was lean and had shining emerald eyes, which was what tipped Katniss off that the mutations were the fallen Tributes. Katniss shot an arrow at Glimmer while she was hanging onto the Cornucopia, and sent her falling to the ground, dead. Peeta painted a picture of her as a mutt after the Hunger Games.

Catching Fire
In Catching Fire, Katniss and Peeta go to District 1 for their victory tour and the the residents yell at them, saying Glimmer could have made it back.

Peeta takes up painting as his victor hobby, and one of the paintings he does is of Glimmer's mutt.

Throughout the story Katniss has nightmares, sometimes involving Glimmer's bloated body after the tracker jacker attack, and her mutt form.

Description
Katniss described Glimmer to be tall, with flowing blonde hair and emerald eyes. She was described as beautiful or downright sexy. Katniss described her interview dress as gold and provocative. Katniss thought that even though Glimmer was smart, she was incompetent with a bow and arrow. It is not known if she excelled in another weapon, but it is a good possibility her skill was something other than a bow and arrow. Katniss also thought that Glimmer was an extremely stupid name, as most names from District One tend to be a little over the top.

Glimmer is assumed to not be very smart. She had no considerence in chosing her weapon at the Corucopia and did not have the intelligence to go to the lake with the other Career tributes. However, we are not sure if the bow would have been her first pick of a weapon. As a Career it can be assumed she was a good fighter with something, possibly a weapon she was unable to acquire during the Blood Bath. She was although smart enough to know not to try to climb the tree Katniss was in when Cato's climb weakened the branches and she climbed down before she would fall down.

Victims

 * Tributes at the Cornucopia (possibly)

Trivia

 * Glimmer is the only known Tribute to have specifically mentioned to be killed twice by the same person (As Katniss would have later taken credit for Glimmer's death, and she killed Glimmer as a Mutt)
 * Glimmer, Rue, Clove, Foxface, and Thresh were the only five Mutts to be specifically mentioned, herself and Thresh being killed shortly after. All other Mutts died unnamed.

Film Portrayal
