Posy Hawthorne

"I think you would look pretty in any color!"

- Posy to Octavia Posy Hawthorne is the youngest child and the only female child in the Hawthorne family.

Posy's mother, Hazelle, tried to take care of her, along with her three brothers. When Posy once got very sick with measles, her mother worked overtime to get her well again. Posy eventually recovered.

In Mockingjay, Posy asked if Octavia, a member of Katniss' prep team, was sick, because the pallor of her skin was a light shade of green. At first Octavia seemed saddened about it, but then Posy said Octavia would look pretty no matter what shade of color her skin was. This gave Octavia a fondness for little Posy.

Family
Posy lived with her mother, Hazelle Hawthorne, and her three brothers; Rory, Vick, and Gale. She never met her father, as he died just before she was born. Katniss Everdeen and her family are very much like family to them, due to her close relationship with Gale. During the 74th Hunger Games, the Hawthornes was publicly referred to as Katniss' cousins, to keep them safe from her and Gale's friendship.
