81st Annual Hunger Games ~ District 8 District 8 children are raised knowing that if they are chosen, they will die. This is not a challenge for them, its a death sentence. Many of them have never even seen most weapons, only things like scissors, which are blunt with use. They are not only excellent sewers, but also possess a hidden talent at all crafting, and could therefore forge their own weapons. However they are not so good in the survival sense. Most are kind and gentle, but can become viscious. They will only kill in the games if needed, but most of the time will accept death of themselves over killing others.
