Effie Trinket; the Capitol's darling Escort and very well mannered woman. She came complete with her bright dresses and beaming wigs. Her face held layers of whitened powder that had she plastered on it. The Capitol, which she once thought of as her home, was now her prison. She wanted to stand out and be noticed, so she put on a fake smile. This disguise that she wore tricked many, mostly all, apart from one. That one person was Haymitch Abernathy!

Haymitch Abernathy; District 12's first Victor, bore from the 50th Hunger Games, now Mentor. His actions during the Games cost him dearly of all he loved. His mother, his brother and his girlfriend were all taken from him and killed. He lost everything that day. From then on, the Games haunted him day and night, taking over his thoughts and turning him into the alcoholic he is today. It was the only way he knew how to cope. The poor man was broken and alone. To this day, he vowed to pretend that he didn't care for anyone because of what the Capitol took from him the first time round. However, if anything happened he wouldn't forgive himself... If anything happened to Effie Trinket.
