50th Hunger Games[]

Before the start of the games, Heartwood joined an alliance between District 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12 tributes in an attempt to counter the Career pack. Heartwood's district was the first to join the Newcomers alliance. Heartwood and his district partners were considered "nothing special" by Haymitch Abernathy, but were decent at knife throwing during training.^[2]

Heartwood died in the initial bloodbath along with the other boy from his district, Bircher.^[3]

Etymology[]

Heartwood is the central, strongest part of a tree.

Physical description[]

The District 7 tributes' training outfits were russet brown.^[4]
