Coriolanus felt that the she must have been born with a microscope attached to her eye. He hated working with her, but nevertheless behaved graciously around her, resulting in her adoration.[1]
Her parents were scientists of some sort.[2] Her tribute, Circ, died after being bitten by snake muttations sent into the Capitol Arena by Dr. Volumnia Gaul. Snow regretted the loss of her presence, as she tended to be clinical rather than combative.[3]
