District 8 female (74th HG)

The District 8 female was the female tribute from District 8 who participated in the 74th Hunger Games.

Tribute Parade
In the film, she is first seen at the Tribute Parade with her district partner, wearing pink and blue costumes that symbolize jesters with a star pattern and bow hats on them. She is seen in many different shots in the parade scene, waving excitedly at the audience.

Training
She is not explicitly shown in a training scene. However, it is likely she was very powerful and talented as she was estimated to have a 5-1 odds of winning.



The Games
The District 8 female managed to grab supplies and ran away from the bloodbath. Later into the games, due to her poor supplies, she gave into the cold and started a fire, not realising the smoke may attract the Career Tributes. The fire she started was near the tree Katniss had chosen to rest in for the night. She was found by the Careers during the early morning of the next day. She apparently dozed off during the night. Then Cato stabbed the District 8 girl with his sword. After Cato stabbed the female tribute, he walked away, thinking she was dead. When no cannon sounded to signal her death or a nearby hovercraft to transport her dead body, the Career tributes began to argue as to whether she was actually dead. Eventually, Peeta went back and finished her off. In the movie, she dies 8 hours into the first day. She is killed by Glimmer using Cato's sword. Katniss hears a scream, marking her death, followed by the sound of the cannon. Shortly after, it goes to Caesar and Claudius, where her portrait is shown. Ultimately, she placed 13th out of 24 in the book and 12th in the film.

Muttation
Her DNA would later be taken and mixed with a wolf, creating a Muttation, which were sent after Cato, Katniss and Peeta at the Cornucopia. It is unknown if her mutt survived.

Trivia

 * In the film, she weighs 116 pounds and she is 13 years old, according to the Odds Board shown in the film.
 * It was confirmed that the District 9 male, District 9 female, the District 8 female and the District 10 female, were considered extra characters and they only shot the parade; the only character who participated in the Games was the District 8 female after the bloodbath, and the other actors didn't shoot the bloodbath or the training. The remaining tributes must be determined by inference, for example, the District 10 boy replacing the girl.
 * She is probably one of the most powerful tributes with a 5-1 odds of winning, which are the same odds as both Clove and Marvel. They are only beat by her District partner and Cato.
 * In the arena, she wears a goldenrod yellow jacket.
 * She, along with Cato, was one of the tributes in the 74th Hunger Games to be mortally wounded and then mercifully killed. She was mortally wounded by Cato and then mercifully killed by Peeta in the book, while Cato was mauled by mutts, and mercifully killed by Katniss.
 * Her death was changed in the movie because when she sees the Careers, Cato gives Glimmer his sword instead of Cato killing her himself. Her cannon is also released shortly after her scream whereas in the book, her death is held, as Cato only wounds her and Peeta has to finish her.
 * In the tribute parade, the females were standing on the left of the chariot and the males on the right except for District 8 were the female stood on the right and the male on the left.
 * She lasted 8 hours, 12 minutes and 8 seconds in The Hunger Games.   District_8_girl.jpg
