the hunger games

riff

district twelve. victor. volunteered. here

art

district four. victor. reaped. here

connor

district twelve. died in the arena. reaped. connor is the son of the mayor in district twelve. he's not very well liked by anyone and he tends to wander around the district until nightfall. there are rumors he's addicted to morphling, but no one knows for sure. he's reaped at seventeen and dies in the arena, poisoned with nightlock by a tribute from district seven.

dodge

district ten. victor. volunteered. dodge's sister dayna was reaped and killed in the arena when dodge was sixteen. he wanted to volunteer the next year, but his mother stopped him before he could. he volunteers at eighteen instead, before they can even call the name of the male tribute. he won by cornering the final tribute and dropping a rock on his head. he returns to district ten to mentor, but he never stops plotting to kill snow. the second he hears about the rebellion, he joins.

jack twist

district ten. reaped. victor. jack is reaped at eighteen. he quickly becomes a capitol favorite, thanks to his natural charm and good looks. he racks up thousands of sponsors and donations. he narrowly avoids death at the hands of a tribute from district two and manages to win the games by using the tribute's weapon against him. he returns to district ten and mentors tribute after tribute until the capitol calls him back. they want him to work in the academy, they tell him. they want him to train the future generation of presidents and capitol elite. he doesn't know why. but he knows he can't refuse, so he moves and spends the rest of his life working for the capitol. but when the rebellion comes around, jack is one of the first to join the ranks.

jack kelly

district twelve. reaped. supposedly died in the arena, survived. jack kelly is reaped from district twelve. he’s well liked by the capitol and the fact that he makes it to the final four tributes does absolutely nothing to quell the capitol’s love for him. unfortunately, he’s killed by a tribute from district two and the capitol forgets about him relatively quickly, as they’re wont to do. at least, that’s what the story is. in truth, jack kelly had been incredibly outspoken against the games. he’d nearly succeeded in starting a rebellion. the capitol couldn’t have that. they staged his death and when he regained consciousness, he was told that he’d be working for the gamemakers. he hates it, but he doesn’t see any way out of it. so he works for the gamemakers and hopes for a day that a rebellion will come.

NOW PRESENTING: ARTHUR ART DONALDSON, VICTOR OF THE SIXTY THIRD HUNGER GAMES!

pre games

art is the son of george and kayla donaldson. george is the mayor of district four, and because art is the mayor’s son, he doesn’t have to participate in the career training that the other children partake in. art spends most of his time inside, learning how to one day take over the mayorship from his father. he sneaks into the kitchen and learns how to cook, and sneaks down to the dock behind his house to teach himself how to swim. he learns a little bit about knots and ropes and boats, but not as much as an ordinary citizen of four would know. he knows how to fish, though. he’s pretty good at it. he’s also fairly good with a knife. his father had deemed it necessary for art to know how to defend himself should he ever be attacked, and so art had decided to learn how to properly wield a knife. he knows how to handle a trident to some extent, but he’s much better with knives.

when art is thirteen, he and his family go to the reaping ceremony like they always do. when art is thirteen, he gets reaped for the hunger games. his father had never paid anyone off to keep his son’s name out of the reaping bowl—he believed that was a dirty and cowardly thing to do—but he never thought art would get reaped, either. art is put on a train with his district partner, a seventeen year old girl named coira sobek, and they are whisked off to the capitol. coira becomes protective of art, warding off the worst of the attention he receives from the capitol elite and drawing it to herself.

art becomes a capitol favorite incredibly quickly. they’ve never seen a tribute his age before, and everyone wants to know what his plan is once he gets into the arena. art’s honesty with the citizens of panem wins him sponsor after sponsor, a fact that he and coira will take advantage of in the games. art’s interview—where he talks of his family and not wanting to let them down—earns him the most money he’s ever gotten in his life.

he scores an eight in his training evaluation. it’s a feat that only serves to impress the capitol more. mags tells him to capitalize on the fact that he’s young and easily overlooked once he gets to the arena, and art listens and does so. on the day before the hunger games, he and coira stay up late, strategizing and planning who to go after first. art will lure their prey into secluded areas and keep them there, and coira will take care of them from there.

games

the arena for the 63rd hunger games was a flat, barren landscape with very little cover to hide. there were holes in the ground and cliffs with caves in them, but most of the tributes didn’t know how to scale the cliffs well enough to get to the caves, and the holes weren’t deep enough to provide any sort of hiding place. torrential rain would occur every day at the same time. it never rained long enough to fill the arena.

art and coira’s plan worked for the first three days. coira killed both tributes from twelve and ten, the male tribute from eleven and the female tribute from six in those first three days. on the fourth day, they were cornered by the male tribute from district two. coira distracted him so art could get away. he still regrets running to this day. he didn’t know what happened to her until the cannons went off that night. coira and the district two tribute were dead, along with the female tribute from seven, the male tribute from six and both tributes from district nine.

art hid as best he could over the next four days. most of the remaining tributes picked each other off. art had found a hole deep enough to hide in, and he left it only to get food and water. on the eighth day, he killed the male tribute from seven, both tributes from eight, and the female tribute from eleven. the tributes from five were killed by the female tribute from district one and the female tribute from district two. art managed to kill the male tribute from district three on the ninth day. on the tenth day, the female tribute from one killed the female tribute from three. art, the district one tributes, and the female tribute from district two were the only four tributes remaining.

the final fight lasted three days. the district one tributes cornered the female tribute from district two and killed her, and then they went after art. he still doesn’t know how he killed them, but he was standing with two dead bodies at his feet on the thirteenth day. he was crowned the victor of the 63rd hunger games two days later.

post games

after being crowned victor, all art wanted to do was go home and see his parents. he was told he couldn’t do that. there were people that wanted to see him and congratulate him on his victory. he stayed in the capitol for a week following his victory. at the end of that week, he was summoned by president snow. the president told art that he couldn’t leave the capitol. if he left, snow said, his parents would be killed. art didn’t want that, did he? art, even at thirteen, recognized blackmail when he saw it. snow wanted him to stay and train some more. they were implementing a new program, he said. capitol members could pay to see victors and spend time with them. art didn’t like the sound of that, but he agreed. it wasn’t bad at first. as he got older, he realized what he’d agreed to. no one laid a hand on him until he was sixteen, but that didn’t make it any better.

he was allowed to return to district four to mentor, but he was not allowed to see his family. when he was eighteen, he mentored johanna barker. she went on to win the 68th hunger games. they’d fallen in love during the mentorship and art made the mistake of kissing her when she returned from the arena. the capitol was crushed, and art and johanna had to scramble to sort out their feelings and what this meant for their relationship.

they were outed as a couple on johanna’s victory tour and married in secret shortly after her victory tour ended. johanna was sent for by her guardian, turpin. art was adamant that she refuse to go. they decided to flee to district thirteen in the hopes that he would give up. art went first, intending to see how safe the district was and then he would return for johanna. that plan went awry, however. one of art’s clients, patrick zweig, had noticed that art was missing. he told snow, and snow had johanna brought to turpin in the capitol as punishment for art’s disobedience.

art returns to the capitol with a small team to save johanna. they return to thirteen and attempt to heal. while in thirteen, art takes up cooking again. he also teaches the younger members of the district how to wield a knife. when the rebellion comes around, art and johanna help as much as they can.

when the 75th hunger games happens, art is reaped. he knows it’s a punishment from snow and patrick for leaving. he’s part of haymitch’s plan to get katniss and peeta out of the capitol and transport them to thirteen. the plan goes off as smoothly as it can, but he always regrets not being able to save peeta. art storms the capitol with the rest of katniss’ team and he lives to return to johanna and district thirteen.

art learns that he has a daughter, lily, from one of his former clients. he and johanna take her in and dote on her as much as they can. when the rebellion is over, the three of them return to district four. art’s parents are still alive and he visits them for the first time in twelve years.

art and johanna eventually welcome two girls, canary and mavis donaldson, into their family. all three girls are loved beyond measure, and art and johanna are working to ensure their daughters never have to endure the horrors they did.
