Biography

Coriolanus Snow, wanting a guitar for his tribute, Lucy Gray Baird, to use for a performance at her interview, asked his classmates if they could lend one. The best result he got was a "maybe" from Vipsania. Coriolanus feared a trap, as Vipsania had inherited her aunt Agrippina's love of competition. He told her that she was a lifesaver, but secretly continued to search, finally securing a guitar from his neighbor Pluribus Bell.

During the games, her tribute, Treech, snatched two water bottles that were sent as sponsor gifts for another tribute, Dill, who had failed to claim them. Vipsania commented that this was good thinking, as it saved her money, and she didn't have much to work with. She was the only mentor who thought to bring bedding to sleep overnight in Heavensbee Hall at the Academy and thus slept comfortably in it while her fellow mentors sat sleeping in padded chairs. After Lucy Gray Baird killed Treech with a snake mutt she'd hidden in her skirt, Vipsania was escorted away by Lepidus Malmsey of Capitol News. She thanked the Gamemakers through gritted teeth.
