Vick Hawthorne is the second-youngest child in the Hawthorne family.
Biography[]
He lived in the Seam of District 12 with his family of five.[1] They were among the few people who survived the bombing of District 12, and they were evacuated to District 13.[2]
Vick was too young to work or take tesserae, and he was a student at his school.
Family[]
Vick was the youngest son of Hazelle Hawthorne. His father died in a mine collapse, the same one that killed Katniss Everdeen's father, leaving his mother to take care of her four children alone. He was the younger brother of Gale and Rory, and the older brother to Posy.[1]
Physical description[]
Vick presumably has dark hair and olive skin, typical to residents of the Seam.
Etymology[]
Vick might be a diminutive version of the name Victor. This is significant because victors are the only survivors of the Hunger Games. His surname comes from hawthorn bushes or trees, but could also be a reference to author Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Trivia[]
- All four Hawthorne siblings have four-letter names: Gale, Rory, Vick, and Posy.
