Biography[]
In The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Haymitch Abernathy said that she and the District 6 male both won their respective Games with the use of camouflage, hiding until the other tributes were dead.[2] They were both heavily addicted to morphling, which they used to cope with pain and trauma.[3]
Unknown Hunger Games[]
She won an unspecified Hunger Games. She did not wield any weapon[4], and won by hiding, camouflage[3], and outsmarting her opponents.[4]
Post Games[]
She had developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after winning the Hunger Games, and was prescribed morphling to help her cope with it, which she ended up addicted to.[4]
While it is unspecified whether she mentored any tributes or not, it is highly likely that she mentored the Male Morphling, as he won in a very similar fashion to her, and ended up being addicted to morphling just like her.
75th Hunger Games[]
Chariot rides[]
During the Tribute Parade, she and her district partner were transfixed by Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark's glowing costumes.[3]
Training[]

In the Training Center, the District 6 tributes were often seen painting at the camouflage station. In addition to painting each other, they also painted Katniss into a field of yellow flowers,[5] and the female morphling painted Peeta's arm.[2] They made a mess of the station all throughout training, and probably did so in their private sessions as well.[5]
Interviews[]
During the interviews, she wore a black leather camo-print jacket and matching pants.[2] She smiled when Katniss revealed the Mockingjay dress, and then later joined hands with her fellow victors in a display of rebellion against the Capitol.[6]
Bloodbath[]
The District 6 female survived the initial Cornucopia bloodbath. At the Cornucopia, it is most likely that she did not participate and just ran away from the terror. In the film, while Katniss ran on one of the spokes, she looked to her left and saw the morphling running into the jungle along with the District 5 female.[2] She managed to survive whilst her district counterpart did not.[7]
The Games[]
Although not a lot of information is known about what happened to her before her death, in the film, she did not have a lot of supplies or weapons due to her running away from the Cornucopia.[2] However, because she was camouflaged behind Peeta when he, Katniss, and Finnick were fighting off the monkey mutts, she presumably remained camouflaged throughout the first night.
Death[]
During the mutts' attack, Peeta was distracted by Katniss, and a monkey was about to kill him when the morphling jumped in the way to protect Peeta.[8] After Peeta had fought off the monkey, he took her body to the beach and held her. The morphling took some of her blood and drew a flower on Peeta's cheek, which he commented on, saying that it was lovely. The morphling smiled and soon after, bled to death. Peeta took her corpse to the water and let it drift off until a hovercraft came to take it away.[9]
In the film, she died a similar way, but Peeta told her to focus on the colors in the sky, giving her a sense of peace as she bled to death in his arms.[2] She placed 14th out of 24th.
Later, when Katniss was on the hovercraft to District 13 after being broken out of the 75th Hunger Games arena, Haymitch revealed that District 6's tributes, among others, had known of the rebellion and were a part of the alliance to save Katniss.[10]
Physical description[]
Due to her morphling addiction, she was bone-thin, with sagging yellowish skin and overlarge eyes.[3] She also had prominent ribs.[9]
Trivia[]
- She was the last District 6 tribute to die in the Hunger Games.
Victory Year[]
As we know she is in her 30s during the time of the 75th Hunger Games, her age is in the range 30-39
- The first Hunger Games she could have won was if she was 39 years old at the time of the 75th, and 15 at the time of victory. 75-39+15=51; thus the first Hunger Games she could have won is the 51st Hunger Games
- The latest Hunger Games she could have won was if she was 30 years old at the time of the 75th, and 18 at the time of victory. 75-30+18=63; thus the latest Hunger Games she could have won is the 63rd Hunger Games.
- However we know that the 63rd Hunger Games was won by Gloss, and the 62nd Hunger Games were won by Enobaria. That leaves the 61st Hunger Games as the latest.
Thus, she won one of the Hunger Games between the 51st and the 61st.
