Career[]
Under her, District 7's tributes were all dressed as trees in every Tribute Parade, for which Johanna Mason angrily described her as being "the biggest idiot in the Capitol".[1] In the movie, Johanna even said she'd "love to put [her] axe in her face."[2]
Assuming her time as District 7's stylist was all consecutive, her career would have begun around the 35th Hunger Games. She would remain with the district for forty years until the Games were abolished. As a result, she likely styled Johanna in both the 71st and 75th Hunger Games. It's also possible that she was a stylist to Blight in his first Games, along with either the District 7 male or District 7 female during the 74th Hunger Games.

75th Hunger Games[]
In The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, she briefly appeared backstage during the interviews, kneeling beside Johanna to adjust her dress. The stylist wore a full-body, mini check-patterned jumpsuit, covering her face with a similarly patterned mask that only had holes for her eyes and mouth. The ensemble also had matching boots, as well as a cone-shaped hat, and round flaps on either side of her head to mimic ears.[2][3]
Death[]
All stylists from the third Quarter Quell died during the Second Rebellion, but it is unclear which side was responsible or through what means this was carried out.[4]
Trivia[]
- Costume designer Trish Summerville identified the outfit as belonging to Johanna's stylist, and she described it as being a tribute to Jean Paul Gaultier.[3]
- Capitol Couture described this outfit as instead belonging to an Avox.[5]
- In The Hunger Games film, the District 7 tributes were shown at the parade wearing fan-like origami paper headdresses and paper clothes rather than tree costumes.[6]
- Considering the length of her time as a stylist, it's possible that she styled tributes from District 7 in two different Quarter Quells: the 50th Hunger Games and the 75th Hunger Games.
