15 (The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide)

"Foxface" was the female tribute from District 5 in the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss Everdeen nicknamed her "Foxface" because of her sly, fox-like appearance. Her true name has never been revealed.

Foxface was reaped into the Hunger Games as the female tribute from District 5 in the 74th Hunger Games. She was one of the few tributes Katniss took note of at the Reaping.

Tribute Parade

In the Tribute Parade, Foxface waved nervously to the audience from her chariot, while representing her district's main export (power) to the Capitol.

Training and Interview

During the training session, she tested her knowledge of plants in a matching test, and she was seen completing it fast. Foxface received a score of 5 during her private training session with the Gamemakers. During her interview with Caesar, Foxface was nervous and quiet, only having one line in the interview, which was "I will always analyze the situation and apply myself". In the bonus features of the film, Foxface says that she is very smart, and that "no weapon can match a brain." For her interview, she wore a light blue strapless dress with a ruffled skirt. She answered her questions fast and short. Katniss described her as being "sly and elusive." Later Katniss said that if all the tributes had took a test, she thinks Foxface would've been the smartest.

Like Rue, Foxface ran away from the Cornucopia bloodbath when she entered the arena as she had no weapons or supplies to help her. In the film, Katniss and Foxface run into and knock each other over after running from the bloodbath. However, instead of fighting, the two of them scramble away, running off in different directions with scared expressions.

At the start of the games, Foxface and Katniss run in to each other and stay still for a few seconds. They then run in opposite directions. However, this only happens in the movie. Later on during the Games, she was spotted by Katniss at the Cornucopia near the Careers' camp. After skulking around to make sure she was unidentified by any of the other tributes, Foxface made a variety of movements, which Katniss describes as a dance sequence. Katniss soon discovers that the area was booby-trapped with land mines.

In the book, Foxface had a close encounter with death as she landed wrong and squealed, but she instantly kept going.

Foxface demonstrated her cleverness by figuring out the path into the Careers' pyramid of useful supplies, reaching the bulk of supplies, taking a small, unnoticeable amount of supplies, and then running back to the safety of the woods.

Katniss noticed a bag of apples hanging on the pyramid, which could well be some of the apples Foxface took from a burlap sack, and fired three arrows at it; the bag of apples ripped apart, fell, and set off the land mines. It caused a huge explosion after and destroyed all of the supplies. This resulted in the destruction of the Careers' supplies, and the District 3 male's death by Cato's hands. In the ruins of the explosion, Katniss saw Foxface laughing as she was able to find a knife blade and a metal pot. At first, she didn't understand why but later came to the conclusion that with the Careers supplies destroyed, Foxface realizes that she might actually stand a chance of surviving. At one point, Katniss thought of the possibility of letting her into the alliance she had built with Rue but quickly dismissed the idea due to the fact if she did, Katniss would only earn herself a knife in the back.

After several days in the arena, all the remaining tributes needed something desperately. Due to this, it is announced by Claudius Templesmith that there would be a feast. Foxface, as well as the other tributes, prepared herself for the upcoming event.

When the other tributes arrived at the feast, Foxface was already well hidden within the Cornucopia. When the table rose from the ground with the bags containing each of the tributes' items that they "desperately needed," Foxface didn't waste her time with battle; instead, she sprinted out, took her bag, and quickly evacuated the area. She was not attacked, as the other tributes feared to confront each other, and she was very quick. Katniss was both impressed and angry that she had not come up with a plan so risky and devious. Katniss pulled out one of her arrows to shoot at Foxface, but let her grab her backpack and flee back into the woods. Foxface's green pack most likely contained food, as her strategy was to stay hidden and avoid any confrontation between any of the tributes. Throughout the games, she managed to survive by scavenging, foraging and occasionally stealing from other contestants. This strategy worked until she unwittingly stole and ate poisonous nightlock berries from Katniss and Peeta.

Foxface placed 4th in the Games. In the movie, Foxface died before Thresh did,

making Foxface come in 5th. Katniss and Peeta find her body holding nightlock berries. She died after stealing and eating the berries that Peeta had collected. Katniss believed that if Peeta had known about the poison and was attempting to trick Foxface, she would have known not to eat them and could have won. However it is thought that she knew about the nightlock berries being poisonous and committed suicide, due to the scene in the training center where she matches up and tests her knowledge of various plants and berries. When her body was then taken away by a hovercraft, Katniss mentioned that her body was emaciated, so she would've died sooner or later from her lack of food supplies.

Foxface was one of the tributes who had their DNA used for wolfish muttations. Katniss noticed many mutts, as they had similar characteristics to their fallen tributes. In this case, Foxface was a small wolfish-muttation. She had large razor-sharp claws, fire-red fur and amber eyes, which were strikingly similar to those of Foxface. It is unknown if Foxface's mutt survived the attack at the Cornucopia.

Foxface avoided confronting the other tributes and kept a reasonable distance between her and anyone else. She intelligently observed other tributes from afar, which allowed her to understand their plans. She took an unnoticeable amount of food from others without their knowledge, and was careful when she was in the Careers' camp, for she knew that it contained mines. She was clever enough to trace a path through the mines where she could step without being blown to pieces. She had no alliances with other tributes and kept completely to herself.

She also demonstrated the attribute of being wily, when she deciphers a path through the explosives to reach the Careers' pyramid of food and supplies, making sure to take enough to survive, but not so much that it would be noticed by the others when they arrived back at their camp. She was independent, always working alone and was sly, elusive, and probably untrustworthy.

Another one of her clever ideas was demonstrated at the feast. Foxface hid in the Cornucopia, waiting for the others to come. She didn't waste time with a battle - she ran up, snatched her bag, and quickly evacuated the area. No one would follow her in fear of not getting their own bags, containing something they "desperately needed," taken away by another tribute. Katniss was also envious of her plan, how strategic and risky it was, and how it trapped the other tributes.

Foxface was careful not to make enemies or even to make herself noticed. Remarkably, she managed to get through to the final four tributes without making a single kill, showing either her morals, luck, or her intelligence.

Physical description

Foxface was a sly and sneaky tribute. Foxface was smaller than most of the other tributes in the 74th Hunger Games, weighing 115 pounds. In the book, Katniss describes Foxface as having amber eyes and sleek red hair. In the movie, however, her eyes are green.

Personality

Foxface proved to be one of the smartest, trickiest, and stealthiest tributes in the Games. She demonstrated this several times throughout the book by doing various things, such as stealing supplies from other tributes, letting herself to become a forgettable tribute in order to not draw attention to herself, and she could find things that others didn't look hard enough for.

In the film, her odds of winning were 7-1, the same as Glimmer.

Foxface is often confused with the District 9 female because they are around the same size and both have red hair.

Jacqueline Emerson stated that she made up a little story in her mind for Foxface so it wouldn't bother her that Foxface rarely spoke.
Foxface only had one line in the movie: At the time of the interviews, she told Caesar Flickerman, "I find that if I can apply myself to the situation present, I will be able to figure it out."

In the Brazilian version of the movie, Caesar Flickerman calls her "Fynch," as he says "Muito obrigado, Fynch" (Thank you so much, Fynch).

In the Italian version of the movie, Caesar Flickerman calls her "Finch," as he says "Grazie mille, Finch" (Thank you so much, Finch).

In the Training Center, she is shown completing a computer matching test with no problem at all.

Although never mentioned in the book, she receives a training score of 5, either having no real skill that could be shown to the Gamemakers, or she was using a strategy similar to Johanna Mason's, which involved appearing mediocre and non-threatening to deceive other tributes.
Prior to Katniss and Peeta both receiving a score of 12 for the 75th Hunger Games, Foxface was the only known tribute to receive a training score that is the same as their district's number.

In the movie, Foxface wears two animal ear-like braids (that are also known as "fox ears") in the arena.

In the film, a scene was added where she and Katniss bump into each other while fleeing the Cornucopia but flee in opposite directions.

She never formed any alliances.

Foxface was able to obtain a bag immediately before Katniss destroyed the Careers' food supply.

In the movie, Foxface ran from the feast carrying her District 5 pack. In the book, Katniss pulled out one of her arrows to shoot her, but was too caught up in her own thoughts, and Foxface escaped.

Foxface was the last tribute to survive with a low training score: she came in 4th in the book and 5th in the movie.

Foxface was the last female tribute to die in the 74th Hunger Games.

Foxface is the only tribute from District 5 to have any sort of name mentioned.

It was stated that Katniss thought of forming an alliance with Foxface, but this never occurred.

Foxface is strongly connected with the number 5, in the following ways: She's from District 5, she received a training score of 5, she placed 5th in the movie, and is 5'5" in height.

In the book, Katniss realises her real enemy is perhaps the stealthy Foxface and is surprised when seeing her body being taken away.

It is unknown if Foxface knew the effects of the Nightlock berries and killed herself, or if it was an accident.

In an early version of the script, Caesar Flickerman says "So, your name is Marissa, but everyone calls you Foxface. Because you're a redhead?".

Haymitch Abernathy

Haymitch Abernathy was District 12's second and only living Hunger Games victor for 24 years, having won the Second Quarter Quell, before Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark won the 74th Hunger Games under his mentorship. He worked secretly in tandem with District 13 and other victors in order to incite the Second Rebellion, and was the main drive behind the rebel plot during the 75th Hunger Games.

Haymitch Abernathy was born 40 years prior to the 74th Hunger Games, during the same year the 34th Hunger Games were held. There is no information regarding his childhood and early teenage years, nor his family, although it is known that he is from the Seam of District 12, the same as Katniss Everdeen, and had a younger brother and mother. At some point prior to being reaped, Haymitch began dating a girl within his district.

Second Quarter Quell

At the age of 16, Haymitch was reaped as one of District 12's two male tributes alongside Maysilee Donner and another female tribute as part of the special rules pertaining to the 50th Hunger Games. As the Second Quarter Quell, it stipulated that double the number of tributes were to be reaped from the districts for the Games. It is unknown who his and District 12's other three tributes' mentor was for these Games.

During his interview with Caesar Flickerman, Haymitch was asked about what he thought of the Games having 100% as many tributes. He replied by saying that he didn't see much difference, as they were still going to be 100% as stupid, a display of his own wit and sarcasm.

Cornucopia bloodbath

When the bloodbath of the 50th Hunger Games took place, the tributes were amazed by the beautiful arena, and many were too stunned to get off their pedestals. Using this to his advantage, Haymitch was able to easily get a knife and a " backpack of choice" from the Cornucopia, while eighteen ultimately fell during the opening act of the Second Quarter Quell.

Alliance with Maysilee Donner

At an uncertain point in time into the Games, Haymitch ran into three Career tributes. Using his speed and skill with his sharp knife, Haymitch was able to kill two of the Careers, but the third Career managed to disarm him. Just as the Career was about to slit his throat, he was shot in the back and killed with a poison dart by Maysilee Donner, saving Haymitch's life. Maysilee proposed to Haymitch that their odds of survival will be better if he formed an alliance with her, to which he agreed. As the Games continued, the duo formed an effective team, getting more rest, creating a system to salvage rainwater, working together to fight off other tributes, and splitting the food from fallen tributes' packs. All the while, Haymitch urged Maysilee to continue moving towards the edge of the arena with him in the hopes of finding something useful.

Near the end of the Games, when there were only five tributes left alive, Haymitch and Maysilee finally reached the edge of the arena, but found nothing but a bare cliff. Maysilee suggested going back, but Haymitch refused to leave. She then broke up the alliance, not wanting to kill him herself, and left on her own. After her departure, Haymitch explored the edge of the cliff, knocking a pebble off that unexpectedly bounced back while he rested. Curious, Haymitch picked up another rock and threw it off the cliff. The force field around the arena threw it back right into his hand, at which point he started laughing. Moments later, Haymitch heard Maysilee screaming and ran in her direction to find her being attacked by deadly, candy-pink birds, who speared her throat with their long, thin beaks right as he arrived. Haymitch rushed over to her side and held her hand until she ultimately died.

Defeating the District 1 Tribute and Victory

Following the death of the two other finalist tributes, Haymitch and one of District 1's female tributes made it to the final two. The two eventually found each other and fought. Despite her being larger and stronger as a Career, both sustained severe injuries. Haymitch, at one point, sliced her eye out, and he himself was hit in his abdomen by her axe. After being disarmed, a weakened Haymitch staggered through the forest while holding his intestines in, with the District 1 female in pursuit behind him. Haymitch eventually reached the cliff he found earlier just as the District 1 female tribute threw her axe, aiming for his head. Haymitch collapsed from his injuries before it reached him and it missed, flying over the cliff. With both tributes unarmed, the District 1 female tribute stood in front of Haymitch, thinking she could outlast him by staunching the flow of blood from her eye wound. To her utter surprise, the axe rebounded off the force field back into the arena, killing her when it buried itself into her head, leaving Haymitch the victor and District 12's latest in four decades.

Post-Victory

Adulthood and Mentoring Tributes

Two weeks after he was crowned victor of the Second Quarter Quell, Haymitch's mother, younger brother, and girlfriend were all killed by President Snow because of the stunt that he pulled with the axe and force field, which was perceived as an act of defiance that made the Capitol look foolish.

For the next 23 years, Haymitch mentored the tributes for District 12 alone, to poor results. Due to the horror of his Games, his grief over his family's and girlfriend's deaths, and the overwhelming guilt he felt from being obligated to participate in the Games he hated while each and every one of his mentored tributes died in them, Haymitch turned to alcoholism to cope with his issues and feelings. His constant state of drunkenness and his failure as a mentor earned him the ire and embarrassment of his district. In the years following his victory, Haymitch began sleeping with a knife in his hand and as Katniss later mentions, sentenced himself to a self-imposed state of solitary confinement by refusing to let anyone into his house and isolating himself from the rest of District 12. During his time as mentor, Haymitch grew close with a number of his fellow victors, particularly Chaff of District 11, Victor of the 45th Hunger Games, whom he would regularly get drunk with together.

Despite his alcoholism and his poor performance as a mentor, Haymitch at some point became a part of far-reaching conspiracy involving Hunger Games victors, high-ranking Capitol officials, and District 13 that sought to overthrow the Capitol and put an end to the Hunger Games.

74th Hunger Games

Haymitch first appears when he is present on stage during the reaping for the 74th Hunger Games. Drunk and staggering, he congratulates Katniss after she volunteers for her sister, Primrose Everdeen, claiming she has "spunk". Haymitch then head-dives off the stage, knocking himself out in the process and requiring him to be hauled away on a stretcher. Haymitch is not seen again until just after dinner is served on the train taking Katniss and Peeta to the Capitol. Drunk again, Haymitch vomits all over the expensive floor before collapsing in his own mess, which disgusts Effie. Katniss and Peeta take him back to his compartment on the train, where Peeta offers to clean him up and put him to bed. The next morning, Haymitch is eating breakfast with Katniss and Peeta, once again drinking. When Katniss ask for advice on the Games, Haymitch is initially dismissive, simply stating for the two to "stay alive" before laughing at them both. Angered at his indifference, Peeta knocks Haymitch's glass from his hand, with Haymitch responding by punching Peeta in the jaw, knocking him from his chair. Before Haymitch can reach for his alcohol again, Katniss drives a knife into the table between Haymitch's hand and his drink glass. Pleased that he finally has a pair of tributes willing to fight, Haymitch begins to a take a more hands-on approach to his mentoring. He examines them both on their skills and begins to formulate a plan for them, promising to help them so long as they do not interfere with his drinking.

During the parade, he is surprised by Katniss and Peeta's costumes and takes this advantage by attracting sponsors and making more future plans to help them. On the first day of training, he takes the duo and over breakfast asks if they want to be trained together or privately, to which they agree to be jointly trained. He then discusses their preexisting skills, already deducing Katniss's skill with a knife and further learning on her excellent capacity to hunt with a bow and arrow and Peeta's strength. He advises them to try and learn new things at the Training Center gymnasium, to avoid practicing the skills they excel in and to save them for their private sessions, and to stay by each other's side at all times over their objections.

Haymitch is humored and laughs when Katniss tells him how the Gamemakers looked after she almost shot them with an arrow. He is further pleased with their training scores and tells Katniss she got a high score due to her attitude. As the duo begins preparation for their interviews, Haymitch informs her that Peeta changed his mind and has asked to be coached separately. He tries to teach Katniss how to speak in front of the crowd during her interview with Caesar Flickerman, but grows exasperated and angered at the effort, saying she has the charm of a dead slug. Before the Games begin, Haymitch's last piece of advice for the two is for them to stay alive, the same answer he gave them the first time Katniss asked him for a strategy.

During the Games, Haymitch helps Effie line up sponsors. He also communicates with Katniss through giving or withholding of her sponsor gifts (he does not send water when she is close to a source, but sends broth and medicine when she "plays her part" convincingly). Haymitch, however, chooses to not help Peeta during the Games, as only one of them could live and he believes Katniss stands the best chance to survive and ultimately win. It is implied, however, that Peeta may have told him to help Katniss and not him. Following Katniss's and Peeta's unprecedented dual victory, he is thrilled at the prospect of now having two victors after over two decades of no District 12 tributes having returned from the arena and hugs them both.

Before Katniss goes to her final interview with Caesar, he tells her that the Capitol is furious about her and Peeta's act in the arena with the berries, as the Capitol saw it as an act of rebellion. Haymitch tells her she must act in love with Peeta so that even Capitol and the rest of Panem will not see it as such. After the interview, Haymitch is positive that the Capitol is convinced she was in love and not rebelling. Following the Victory Ceremony, Haymitch return to District 12 with Katniss and Peeta, where he resumes drinking heavily again.

74th Victory Tour

In Catching Fire, Haymitch's drinking becomes progressively worse. At times, he gets so drunk that he sleeps for most of the day. At the beginning of the book, Haymitch is passed out and drunk on the day the 74th Victory Tour is to start. When Katniss arrives and fails in her first attempt of shaking him awake, she resorts to dumping a bucket of water on him. This results in Haymitch being startled, who begins to slash randomly with a concealed knife in all directions whilst yelling. When Peeta arrives with bread, Haymitch witnesses him and Katniss's stiff greeting to one another, remarking that the two have to improve their act as star-crossed lovers before Katniss retorts for him to shower.

When the time comes for the Victory Tour, Haymitch accompanies Katniss and Peeta along with Effie Trinket and their stylists and prep teams as they board the train that will take them across Panem's districts. While in transit, Katniss visits Haymitch's compartment on the train, and when the train stops for fuel, she suggests they go outside to talk, where she tells him about the encounter with President Snow, how he told her how the other districts are on the verge of rebelling, and that the "star-crossed lovers" act must be believed by everyone if she plans on keeping her family and friends alive. Haymitch coaches Katniss through the "madly in love" facade which she must keep up with Peeta and informs her that she must continue the act for the rest of her life. Later, Haymitch is surprised and somewhat disgusted by Katniss losing her temper with Effie after she complains about the train's unplanned stop. As the train makes its way to District 11, Haymitch helps Katniss and Peeta through preparation for their victory speech they must give to the grieving families of the District 11 tributes, Thresh, and Rue.

After Peeta finishes his speech, Katniss gives her own impromptu speech to honor Thresh and Rue, thanking them for their help in surviving the Games and thanking the district for the bread they sent her. The crowd responds by silently giving Katniss the three-finger salute she does in their honor, which is viewed as an act of rebellion by the Peacekeepers. They shoot an elderly man who whistled Rue's four-note mockingjay tune, which causes unrest amongst the crowd as Katniss and Peeta are forced inside the Justice Building. As the Peacekeepers crack down on the crowd outside the Justice Building, Haymitch orders Katniss and Peeta to follow him to the dome at the top of the Justice Building. There, he interrogates Katniss and Peeta for answers on what happened outside, after which Katniss confesses to her meeting with President Snow and the unrest in the district to Peeta. The revelation angers Peeta, who berates both Haymitch and Katniss for keeping him in the dark, before further admonishing Haymitch for his lack of sponsor support during the 74th Hunger Games. Haymitch tells Peeta he will be fully informed going forward, and once alone with Katniss, admits to her that he did chose to solely support her in the Games when asked. The two then depart for the dinner held in their honor by the district later that evening.

Haymitch continues to help Katniss and Peeta throughout the rest of the Victory Tour, during which the two give scripted speeches to ensure that a riot like the one in District 11 did not happen again. Following the Victory Tour, Haymitch, Katniss, and Peeta return to District 12. Haymitch is not seen again until he has to intervene in Gale's public whipping for poaching by District 12's new Head Peacekeeper, Romulus Thread, during which Katniss gets whipped across the face when she attempts to stop it herself. Haymitch manages to defuse the situation by threatening to report Thread to the Capitol for injuring Katniss before her wedding shoot, to which Thread reluctantly backs down and orders them to disperse before leaving. Haymitch, Peeta, and a few other District 12 coal miners proceed to haul Gale to Katniss's mother in the Victors' Village for treatment. While Mrs. Everdeen tends to Gale, Haymitch explains to Katniss that whippings were far more common before Cray was Head Peacekeeper and that it was Katniss's mother who treated those whipped. Haymitch and Peeta are then forced to remove Katniss from the room Gale is in when she grows hysterical at her mother, placing her in a guest room. While Katniss is sobbing, Peeta informs Haymitch of President Snow's thoughts on their performance during the Victory Tour, the uprising in District 8, and Katniss's plan for them to all flee into the forests, on which Haymitch gives no opinion.

Several days later, Katniss and Peeta meet at Haymitch's house, and the three go on a walk away from the Victors' Village. When Haymitch remarks on Katniss's plan to flee into the wilderness, Katniss retorts that she instead want to start an uprising, at which Haymitch only laughs. When Katniss scoffs at Haymitch's indifference, Haymitch states that he is focusing on solely on her upcoming wedding and that her plan revolt will fail. The three soon take notice of the militarization of District 12's town square, including the addition of an official whipping post, several stockades, and a gallows, as well as the Hob being burned to the ground. Haymitch leaves Peeta and Katniss, remarking on finding a new source of alcohol.

Third Quarter Quell

A few months after Gale's whipping, Haymitch employs Hazelle Hawthorne as a maid for his home in the Victors' Village. On the eve of the announcement of the Quarter Quell, Katniss visits Haymitch, telling him of her meeting with Bonnie and Twill and the uprising in District 8, to which he informs her of his own knowledge of rumored revolts in District 7 and 11. Katniss also explains to Haymitch her suspicion that District 13 was not really destroyed based off what Bonnie and Twill told her, but Haymitch shuts down the idea, arguing it was unlikely the Capitol could be ignoring a rebounded District 13.

Haymitch is in his home when President Snow announces that the Third Quarter Quell's special rule will have tributes reaped from the existing pool of victors. When Katniss enters his house after freaking out in an empty victor's house cellar, Haymitch is already drunk and sarcastically remarks on the assured possibility that Katniss will be going back into the arena and wonders what she is here to say to him. He goes on to state that Peeta had already come to talk to him, begging to be allowed to go back into the Games since he owes Peeta so that he can protect Katniss. Haymitch deduces that Katniss is here to ask him to volunteer in Peeta's place. Katniss bluntly replies "I came for a drink", at which Haymitch laughs before passing her a bottle. As the two drink, Katniss points out that since Haymitch hates life, he should go into the Games again instead of Peeta. Haymitch concurs with her point, remarking that since he tried to keep Katniss alive in the 74th Hunger Games, he's obligated to do the same for Peeta for the 75th. However, Haymitch points out that if his name is drawn, Peeta will simply volunteer in his place to be with her. Katniss then tells Haymitch that if it does come down to Peeta and herself, the both of them will do everything they can to ensure Peeta stay's alive, to which Haymitch agrees to.

The following day, Katniss and Peeta head to Haymitch's house. Unbeknownst to Haymitch, Peeta disposes of Haymitch's entire supply of alcohol, enraging him. Peeta then bluntly points out to Katniss and Haymitch that two of them will be going into the Games and two will be coming back, a mentor and victor, and informs the duo that they can't afford them both being drunkards. Peeta then tells them that they are going to prepare like Careers for the Quell, reviewing footage from every living victor's Games provided by Effie before storming out of the Haymitch's house.

Over the next several weeks, Haymitch, Katniss, and Peeta train for the Quarter Quell, doing daily exercises in the morning, combat exercises in the afternoon, and watching recaps of the Games of previous victors at night. Haymitch struggles to get through the training regimen after years of alcohol abuse, unable to properly hit the side of a house with a knife after several weeks, but eventually does improve. On the day of the reaping for the 75th Hunger Games, Haymitch's name is called for the men, to which Peeta predictably volunteers in his stead. Katniss and Peeta are not allotted the customary hour for goodbyes and the duo are rushed to the train alongside Haymitch and Effie, bound for the Capitol.

On the train, Haymitch, Katniss, Peeta, and Effie watch the recaps of the reapings, after which Haymitch departs without a word back to his room on the train. While alone, Katniss and Peeta watch the recaps of Haymitch's Games, the Second Quarter Quell. After finishing it, Katniss remarks that Haymitch's stunt at the end of his games with the force field was similar and just as bad as their own stunt with the berries. Haymitch unexpectedly returns, drinking from a bottle of wine, remarking "Almost, but not quite."

Following the tribute parade, Haymitch is conversing with Chaff and Seeder, the tribute victors from District 11, to which Haymitch introduces Katniss and Peeta to them. When the District 12 delegation returns to their apartment, Haymitch restrains Katniss when she recognizes one of the Avoxes serving them is Darius, a peacekeeper from District 12 who tried to help Katniss during Gale's whipping only to be knocked out by Thread. The following morning, Haymitch orders Katniss to the dining room, where he explains to her and Peeta that their strategy for training is to remain in love and to befriend the other victors. Katniss initially refuses, but Haymitch remarks that going into the Quell only allied with each other won't be enough and that they will need more allies. Haymitch goes on to state that since Katniss and Peeta are popular with the crowd, that will make them desirable allies. He suggest allying with Seeder and Chaff, with Finnick Odair, District 4's male tribute and victor of the 65th Hunger Games should also be considered, but the two are free to choose who they like to add to their alliance.

Following their first day of training, Haymitch informs Katniss and Peeta that half of the tributes have informed their mentors that they want Katniss as their ally. Peeta tells Haymitch they saw Katniss shoot. Katniss, however, is indifferent from the tributes' praises, stating she only wants Beetee and Wiress from District 3 as well as Mags from District 4 to be added to their alliance. Haymitch sighs at the response, saying he will inform the mentors that Katniss is still making up her mind. Following their private sessions with their Gamemakers, Haymitch agrees with Effie when she remarks that their actions during the private session will bring more trouble upon them. After dinner, Peeta informs Haymitch that he and Katniss have decided that they are going to go in alone, with Haymitch remarking he won't be responsible for killing his friends in the arena. When Katniss and Peeta both earn a 12 for their training score, Haymitch send the two to bed, stating that he can't stand the sight of either of them.

Following the chaotic end to their tribute interview, Haymitch informs the duo of the commotion in the Capitol and the canceling of the recaps of the interviews. Katniss and Peeta both ask Haymitch to give Effie their thanks and appreciation for being their mentor. Before departing for the night, Haymitch's last piece of advice to the two is once again to "stay alive", although he specifically tells Katniss before leaving for the night to "just remember who the the enemy is." When the Games begin, he works with District 4, and later 3 and 7, since Katniss, Peeta, Finnick Odair, Mags, Beetee, Wiress, and Johanna Mason were in an alliance together. Secretly behind the scenes, Haymitch and, to varying degrees, the victors from District 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 11, coordinated with Plutarch on igniting the Second Rebellion.

When Katniss blows up the force field, Haymitch is aboard the hovercraft that rescues her, Beetee, and Finnick. Haymitch, Plutarch, and Finnick gather together on the hovercraft and discuss the ongoing situation in several districts. When Katniss enters the room, he is annoyed and explains everything that has recently happened, including the secret conspiracy involving the victors, the survival of District 13, the open revolt of most of the district, and the outbreak of the Second Rebellion. Katniss is enraged with all of Haymitch's lies and when she learns that Peeta was captured by the Capitol alongside the other surviving victors, she lunges at Haymitch, cutting his face with her nails. The two proceed to yell vicious, terrible things at one another until Katniss is taken away and sedated.

District 13 Rebellion

After watching the final edit of Katniss' first propo, Haymitch goes on the speaker and laughs, stating, "And that, my friends, is how a revolution dies." Haymitch calls for a meeting with Katniss and the other rebels. He asks everyone to come up with a moment when Katniss has ever touched them inside. After everyone finishes, he states that she did them all by herself. When Haymitch and Katniss find themselves alone in the meeting room, Haymitch told her to say what she wants and she asks him why he let Peeta get captured. Haymitch sadly asks why she let Peeta out of her sight. The two begin to reconnect and comfort each other. Haymitch tells her the plan to shoot the propo live in action.

After Peeta's interview, Haymitch clarifies that Peeta gave a hint about an attack that is going to be launched by the Capitol. District 13 does not believe him, but Katniss does, and the citizens begin to panic. Haymitch and the other head members of the rebellion begin to form a plan for the impending attack. Haymitch informs Katniss about the rescue team to save Peeta, Johanna, Enobaria, and Annie from the Capitol and tells her Gale was the first to volunteer to be a member of the rescue team.

When the group returns and receives medical treatment, they meet in the command room. Haymitch, along with the others, discusses the propo. They decide to allow Katniss to go back into combat and shoot more propos after she is fully recovered. When Katniss returns to her hospital bed, Haymitch enters and talks to her for a while. Haymitch is mad at Katniss for removing her earpiece and shows signs of vengeful thoughts towards her. She makes sure not to be left alone with him. He later goes back to the command room to discuss topics and other objectives that must be taken care of with the head of the rebellion.

She asks him if they need her help and he informs her she could shoot propos to air during the rescue mission. Haymitch comforts Katniss, who is sad because she did not go along with them. He explained to her that two weeks after he was crowned victor, President Snow killed his mother, younger brother, and girlfriend. Around midnight, Haymitch informs them the rescue party has made it back safely and they go to meet them.

Haymitch goes to District 2 with the others. He meets Lyme and attempts to think of a plan to attack a mountain fortress nicknamed "The Nut" and take control of District 2. Gale pulls a plan together where they would set off avalanches to collapse the Nut, which Haymitch does not fully agree with.

Following the fall of the Capitol and the capture of the President Snow, Haymitch is present in a meeting hosted by President Coin with the other known surviving victors, immediately prior to Snow's execution. Coin proposes to the victors on the possibility of holding a final Hunger Games involving Capitol children in retribution for the 75 years of Hunger Games imposed on the districts. The proposal is put to a vote amongst the victors, with Peeta, Beetee, and Annie voting no while Johanna, Enobaria, and Katniss vote in favor, leaving Haymitch as the tie breaker vote. Haymitch ultimately chooses to side with Katniss and votes in favor of hosting the 76th Hunger Games involving the Capitol. Haymitch is later present for Snow's execution on the Avenue of the Tributes and watches as Katniss instead assassinates President Coin. Haymitch accompanies Plutarch when they go to release Katniss from her confinement. The two then fly back to District 12, with Haymitch informing Katniss that in addition to still being her mentor, he will also be looking after her, since her mother now resides in District 4 to oversee the construction of a hospital there.

After the Second Rebellion and Panem's transition into a democratic republic, Haymitch, alongside Peeta and Katniss, return to a rebuilt District 12, where they remain. He continues to drink, but he also now raises geese.

Since becoming a victor at the age 16, Haymitch does not work, nor is he obligated to work as part of District 12's coal mining industry. Instead, he spends his victor's pension on purchasing and drinking copious amounts of alcoholic beverages and being a recluse in the Victors' Village. His only true job was his annual duty serving as a mentor for the reaped tributes of District 12 for the Hunger Games. In this capacity as a mentor, Haymitch would not see a single one of his tributes return from the Games until Katniss and Peeta 24 years after his own victory.

Secretly, however, Haymitch was a member of a conspiracy for an indeterminate number of years involving several Hunger Games victors, high-ranking individuals from the Capitol, and District 13. His role as a member of this underground resistance remains unclear, given his state as an alcoholic and District 12's limited capacity in serving the wider resistance in a significant manner. However, following Katniss and Peeta's joint victory in the 74th Hunger Games and her unintentional emergence as a symbol for the impending revolution, Haymitch took on a leading role in the resistance by overseeing and manipulating Katniss and ensuring she remained unaware of the rebellion.

Furthermore, he orchestrated, alongside Plutarch and the other victors of the conspiracy, the plan to break her out of the arena of the 75th Hunger Games. Following the outbreak of the Second Rebellion, Haymitch continued his role as Katniss's mentor, overseeing and helping Katniss in the making of her propos in her role as the Mockingjay, while also serving as one of the leaders of the rebellion alongside Plutarch and President Alma Coin. After the war, Haymitch retires to life in a rebuilt District 12, where he raises geese.

Physical description

Haymitch is described as paunchy and middle-aged in The Hunger Games. In Catching Fire, he is described as formerly being young, strong, and "something of a looker" 25 years ago when he won the games. He is described as having curly dark hair and gray Seam eyes that are bright as well as looking generally disheveled due to his rampant alcoholism.

In the films, he has straight blond hair and blue eyes like the people in the merchant sector, while also possessing a scruffy beard with patches of gray hair intermixed.

Personality and traits

Haymitch is often drunk, surly, and harsh, but on rare occasions he can be understanding, and as mentioned by Peeta in the Hunger Games, has the capacity to remain sober. At the time of his victory in the Second Quarter Quell, he was District 12's latest victor in 40 years and continued to be the district's only living victor for another 24 years until Katniss and Peeta won. He is tactical and observant, as shown when he found out about the forcefield in the Second Quarter Quell. He is often sarcastic and unfriendly, but it is revealed in Mockingjay that, even though he doesn't say it, he adores and loves both Peeta and Katniss, despite his decision to keep only Katniss alive during the 74th Hunger Games.

He and Katniss are on the same "wavelength" for most of the books, as he can "communicate" with Katniss by unconventional means, such as the timely deliverance of a sponsor's gift. After the war is over, Haymitch is sent to District 12 to look after Katniss, but for a long period after arriving he does not visit her, opting to stay in his house and drink. It is indicated that his relationship with Katniss and Peeta is somewhat repaired as time goes on.

Haymitch has difficulty sleeping at night because of nightmares pertaining to the Hunger Games. When he does sleep, he always clutches a knife in hand. Drinking is Haymitch's way of tuning out the present and the pain of his Hunger Games. His alcoholism was also prompted by the loss of his entire family shortly after he won the Games, at the hand of President Snow, due to his rebellious victory. Haymitch did not have access to liquor while he was in District 13, as the intoxicating substance is banned. He was mostly unaffected by this after therapy, but his skin became noticeably yellower. As soon as they returned to District 12, he began drinking again. When Haymitch is in withdrawal, he becomes violent, incoherent, and prone to hallucinations, screaming and shaking and scaring people half to death.

Nevertheless, despite his severe drinking, Haymitch does have some degree of control over it as he tells Peeta and Katniss in their original deal that, if they let him drink as much as he wants, he will remain sober enough to help them. He also functions rather well while sober.

Haymitch is handy with a knife, evidenced by when he killed two Career tributes. He is also quite intelligent, outsmarting his fellow tributes and making the Capitol look stupid with their own force field. He was remarkably strong and quite handsome when he was younger. Although he has low physical endurance, Haymitch makes up for it with his keen intellect and skill at lying, as shown in his ability to keep Katniss clueless about the Second Rebellion. He can be convincing, persuading Districts 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 11 to protect Katniss and manipulating command in District 13 to allow Katniss into combat. He was able to communicate with Katniss through his gifts in the arena, though Peeta believed that ability was due to the similarities in their personalities.

Relationships

Family and Girlfriend

It is mentioned in Mockingjay that two weeks after being crowned victor, his girlfriend, mother, and younger brother were all killed by the Capitol due to the stunt he pulled with the force field in the 50th Hunger Games. He made the Capitol look stupid, being the only one to know the advantage of the force field, and thus was punished for his perceived act of defiance. The state of Haymitch's relationship with his mother, brother, and girlfriend are unclear, but it can be assumed that Haymitch loved and cared for them, as their death would weigh on Haymitch for the rest of his life and likely contributed to his descent into alcoholism and the jaded, cynical attitude he would later be known for.

Katniss Everdeen

Haymitch first meets Katniss when she volunteered to go in instead of Prim at the reaping for the 74th Hunger Games at the beginning of The Hunger Games. He stated that she had "spunk." He was impressed by Katniss, but he collapsed soon afterward because he was drunk, falling off the stage. At first, he dismissed her as well as Peeta but decides that they may be worthy of winning the Games after they gang up on him. Following this, Haymitch takes a more hands-on approach to their mentoring, giving both her and Peeta valuable advice on how to be attractive to sponsors. Even still, their early relationship was rocky, with the two constantly bickering at each other during her training. Katniss is convinced that Haymitch hates her and he does not try to contradict her. He is hard on them but his teachings are the only things that help them through the Games. During the 74th Hunger Games, Haymitch decides to exclusively support Katniss over Peeta, believing she had the best chance to survive and ultimately win the Games. He was able to communicate with Katniss on what she should do through Haymitch's sponsor gifts. If he didn't send many gifts, or none at all, he was telling Katniss to play up the "love" act or that she was close to what she needed. Katniss responds well and they communicate without Peeta knowing until the train ride home. Despite being apart during the Games, the two develop an understanding, and a strong bond is forged. Haymitch is the first whom Katniss thanks when she leaves the arena.

In Catching Fire, Haymitch and Katniss have grown closer since her and Peeta's victory. Despite their relationship remaining tense at times, with Haymitch outright telling her that he would've preferred to save Peeta over her, the two regularly work together to always deal with whatever threat comes in front of them. Haymitch keeps his role as a mentor, guiding Katniss and Peeta through their Victory Tour and coaching them about how to continue playing up the love act after Katniss informs him of her meeting with President Snow and his demands of her. He remains realistic with Katniss, informing her of the duties and struggles she is likely to endure as a victor and eventually as a mentor in the years to come. Nevertheless, Haymitch does his best to protect both her and Peeta. Following the announcement of the Third Quarter Quell, Haymitch and Katniss agree to work together to ensure Peeta is kept alive, with Haymitch promising to Katniss if Peeta is reaped that he will volunteer for him. Ultimately, Haymitch is reaped and Peeta volunteers instead for him. As their mentor once again for the Games, he urges Katniss to befriend the other victors and assemble her own alliance. Despite Katniss and Peeta deciding to go into the Quell only allied with each other, Haymitch secretly formulates an alliance with the other tributes to protect Katniss and Peeta. At the climax of the 75th Hunger Games, Haymitch arrives with Plutarch to save Katniss, Finnick, and Beetee after she destroys the force field of the arena, but fails to save Peeta and the other surviving tributes. When Katniss awakens, she finds out from him that Peeta has captured by the Capitol. Deeply enraged at this, she attacks Haymitch by scratching his face with her fingernails and is subdued before further damage is inflicted.

In Mockingjay, Haymitch and Katniss do not speak until she decides to become the Mockingjay and begins filming for her first propo. Katniss remains furious with Haymitch for not rescuing Peeta, but the two ultimately reconcile after they both acknowledge their failures in preventing Peeta from being captured by the Capitol. The two subsequently grow close again. Throughout Mockingjay, Haymitch displays that he truly does care for Katniss, understanding her more than others. For instance, when she realizes how Snow is using and torturing Peeta, Katniss runs to Haymitch as she breaks down, comforting her in his arms. Later, Katniss goes to Haymitch to confide in him her idea of Coin killing Prim, and when he teases her, causing her to flee, he tries to follow her (but trips) and later tries to get her to talk to him about her problems. When the remaining living victors vote on a final Hunger Games involving Capitol children proposed by President Coin, Haymitch, as the tie-breaking vote, ultimately sides with Katniss in approving the Capitol Games, with Katniss remarking that this was the moment she recognized how similar they were and how much she understood her. When Haymitch and Katniss return to District 12, Haymitch continues his role as her mentor and now also as her caretaker when he hands her a note from her mother informing Katniss that she will be helping start up a hospital in District 4.

Peeta Mellark

Like Katniss, Haymitch meets Peeta when he is reaped as District 12's male tribute for the 74th Hunger Games in The Hunger Games. When Haymitch collapses into his own vomit in a drunken stupor, Peeta elects to take care of Haymitch, cleaning and bathing him. The following day, Peeta and Haymitch discuss strategies of survival for the Games over breakfast. He is initially dismissive of Peeta and his chances of survival in the upcoming Games. When Peeta knocks away Haymitch's drink in anger, Haymitch punches Peeta to see if he will put up a fight in the arena on the train ride to the Capitol and is pleased when he and Katniss both show strength against him by ganging up. The two later work together often and become close to each other in preparations for the Games. Haymitch comes to favor Peeta over Katniss, since he proves to be very useful and charismatic. He admits to Katniss on several occasions that he likes Peeta better over her, and the two agree that he is the better person of the trio. During their training for the 74th Hunger Games, the two of them formulated strategies together to court sponsors, with Haymitch and Peeta working together to come up with the star-crossed lovers idea to gain sympathy from the audience. Despite his preference for him, Haymitch chose to not help Peeta with sponsor gifts during the 74th Hunger Games, as he believed Katniss was the stronger contender to survive the Games and emerge as a victor. Peeta is angered by this, but does not hold this fact against Haymitch, understanding that initially only one of them could return from the Games and states he had preferred it be Katniss anyway. Even still, Haymitch is elated when both emerge as the joint victors for the 74th Hunger Games.

The two continue to remain close in Catching Fire, maintaining a cordial relationship, with Peeta even occasionally stopping by Haymitch's house to deliver bread from his family bakery. Although he does not admit it, Haymitch truly cares for Peeta like Katniss. He does everything he can to prevent them from being harmed by the Capitol, since they are enraged by the suicide act with the nightlock in the arena. When Peeta berates Haymitch and Katniss for keeping secrets from him following the fiasco of their visit in District 11 during the 74th Victory Tour, Haymitch is slightly hurt by this and promises Peeta that he will be informed going forward. Haymitch also displays sympathy for Peeta and his initially unreciprocated love for Katniss, telling Katniss after she formulated the idea of Peeta proposing to her during their Victory Tour interview in the Capitol that Peeta did not want it to go like that and wanted it to be real marriage proposal. Later on, Haymitch even tells Katniss that she could live a hundred lifetimes and still would not deserve Peeta's love. Following the announcement of the special rules for the Third Quarter Quell, Peeta goes to Haymitch and begs him to allow him to go back into the arena, arguing that since he chose Katniss over him in the 74th Hunger Games, he owes it to him to allow him to protect Katniss in the arena. Haymitch shows that he is not opposed, as when Katniss and Haymitch discuss the implications of the upcoming Quell, Haymitch acknowledges that he feels obligated to save him this time, and he and Katniss agree that they will do everything they can to protect Peeta, with Haymitch even agreeing to volunteer for Peeta should he be reaped for the 75th Hunger Games. In the film adaption of Catching Fire, when Haymitch's name is called at the reaping and Peeta volunteers for him, Haymitch attempts to stop him from doing so, but it is ultimately futile.

In Mockingjay, Haymitch is shown to feel immense guilt at leaving Peeta behind in the arena. He and Katniss both admit they were at fault for not doing more to protect Peeta at the climax of the 75th Hunger Games. Despite not outwardly expressing it, Haymitch loves Peeta as he does Katniss and is equally as troubled as her knowing that Peeta is being tortured and used by the Capitol. When Peeta is rescued, Haymitch and Katniss try their best to help Peeta through the stress and effects of the tracker jacker venom the Capitol used to torture Peeta and hijack his memories. The two reconnect at the end of Mockingjay.

Effie Trinket

As District 12's escort, Effie and Haymitch have worked together for several years representing District 12. Despite this, Effie annoys Haymitch greatly with her Capitol ways. Since Haymitch isn't familiar with Effie's manners, deadlines, and appearance, he becomes annoyed when she nags him about them. He annoys Effie as well by being at his worst and frustrates her by his appearance and manners, such as when he eats like an animal or is drunk. The two do have their moments together such as the night before the Third Quarter Quell, when Haymitch agrees with Effie that Katniss and Peeta's actions during their private sessions would only invite trouble. The two say their final goodbyes before she is taken away, and Haymitch is shown to care for her.

Haymitch and Effie do not start off on the right foot. They first encounter each other when Haymitch shows up drunk and in poor conditions at the reaping for the 74th Hunger Games. He throws up and hugs her, messing up her pink wig. He reappears again when he throws up on the train, which only makes Effie more enraged. Haymitch and Effie work together to help Katniss and Peeta, and she helps him line up sponsors. Haymitch and Effie are shown to be the same during the Victory Tour as he shows poor manners, and Effie annoys him with her nagging about his appearance and manners. The two seem to let Katniss and Peeta decide their own choices during preparations for the third Quarter Quell. The night before the third Quarter Quell, Effie is taken away, but before Haymitch and she say their final goodbyes, they are shown to like each other and care for one another.

In the movie adaptation of "Mockingjay", as Haymitch and Effie say their last goodbye, it is shown that they might have become a couple during their time spent in District 13. Haymitch kisses Effie on her cheek and tells her to "not be a stranger". After that, they have a kiss on the mouth and Haymitch promises Effie to take care of Katniss. This event only happens in the movie.

Haymitch and Chaff, a District 11 victor, are old friends who both have a sense of humor and occasional bad attitude. They won their games 5 years apart and so have known each other almost all of their mentoring careers. They often got drunk together and played jokes on others to get a laugh out of it. For example, Haymitch and Chaff play a joke on Katniss after the parade in Catching Fire when Chaff kisses Katniss on the lips; they both guffaw over her reaction.

Maysilee Donner

Maysilee was one of the two female tributes reaped for the Second Quarter Quell alongside Haymitch and another boy and girl. It is unknown if Haymitch was acquainted with Maysilee before the two were reaped, although it is possible. During the Games, Maysilee saved Haymitch's life after he was almost killed by a Career tribute, with the two deciding to become allies for most of the remainder of the 50th Hunger Games on her suggestion. While the scope of their relationship during the Games is unclear, the two were close allies, working together to fight off other tributes, collect rainwater, and share food and supplies from fallen tributes. Haymitch appears to have taken a leading role in their alliance, convincing Maysilee to follow him to the edge of the arena in the hopes of finding something useful.

When the two finally reached the edge of arena, they found nothing but a barren cliff. Maysilee suggested turning back, but Haymitch refused. Subsequently, Maysilee broke off the alliance, claiming she did not want it to come down to just her and Haymitch with only five tributes left. Haymitch had no qualms with this and let her take her leave on her own. When Maysilee was attacked by muttations, Haymitch heard her screams and ran to help her, even though he had reasons not to because of their broken alliance and the fact that there were only a few tributes left, showing he had grown to care for her. After Maysilee was fatally injured by the muttations, much like Katniss would do with Rue, Haymitch cradled her in her final moments before she died. Katniss would remark after watching Haymitch's tapes before the 75th Hunger Games about the similarity: she was too late to save Rue, and Haymitch was too late to save Maysilee.

Haymitch and Annie Cresta were the only known victors still alive after Mockingjay who did not participate in the 75th Hunger Games.
During the reaping of the 75th Hunger Games, both were initially reaped only for a volunteer to take their places, Peeta in Haymitch's case and Mags for Annie's respectively.

Haymitch has the distinction of being the only tribute in the history of the Hunger Games to be reaped for two Quarter Quells; however, he did not participate in his second due to Peeta volunteering to take his place.
Haymitch outlived forty seven tributes in the 50th Hunger Games, which is the most out of every victor in Panem.

He bears similarities to Ripred, a gnawer from the Underland Chronicles (also by Suzanne Collins), due to being cynical and losing his family.

Haymitch's surname is Scottish and is taken from a fictional character Arvide Abernathy from comedy-musical Guys and Dolls.
