- "There's a pair of sisters in their twenties named Leeg—we call them Leeg 1 and Leeg 2 for clarity—who are so similar in uniform, I can't tell them apart until I notice Leeg 1 has weird yellow flecks in her eyes."
- —Description of the Leeg sisters by Katniss Everdeen[src]
Leeg 2 was a rebel soldier from District 13 assigned to the sharpshooter propaganda unit, Squad 451.[1]
Biography[]
Leeg 2 lived in District 13 with her sister and an unnamed father.[2] The sisters were both assigned to Squad 451, and they trained alongside their new compatriots for several days before deployment for the Battle of the Capitol. During this time, they were given the nicknames "Leeg 1" and "Leeg 2" to distinguish them. Once in the Capitol, they filmed propos for several days.[1]
Death[]
Leeg 2 hit a mislabeled pod on the fourth morning, which shot a "sunburst of metal darts" through her brain, killing her instantly. The following evening, Peeta Mellark was sent to take her place.[1]
Film adaptation[]
In The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, Leeg 2 survived to see Peeta join the squad, and she was injured in the incident that killed Mitchell and Boggs. Leeg 1 stayed behind to take care of her, and when the Peacekeeper assault on the building began, they returned fire. However, it's assumed that they were ultimately killed.[3]
Physical description[]
She was a young woman in her twenties, and she lacked the "weird yellow flecks" seen in her sister's eyes. This was only way Katniss Everdeen could tell the sisters apart, since they looked so similar in uniform.[1]
Trivia[]
- The Leeg sisters, despite being played by identical twin actresses in Mockingjay - Part 2, are not explicitly referred to as twins in the book.
- She and her sister were one of two sets of siblings in their squad. The other set was Castor and Pollux from the camera crew.[4]
