Cashmere and Gloss were born twenty minutes apart, Cashmere being the elder. They grew up on a small vineyard owned by their parents, mostly cloistered from other

children, excepting their fellow trainees. Gloss was the first victor of the two, which their parents never let Cashmere forget, even after her own victory the year

afterwards. This did not stop Cashmere and Gloss from having an extremely close relationship.

they both played it cool throughout the relationship, she took his death extremely hard.


Cecelia met her husband when she was reaped for the Games. He gave her a square of silk with a star embroidered in gold thread from his family's store as a token

and, because of that act of kindness from a boy she barely knew, she vowed she would come home. Later on, when she was on the brink of dying in the cold of her

arena, it was the hope provided by that silk square that kept her alive.


Woof was a grandfather to six girls, the youngest of whom turned nineteen the year he was picked a second time. As Enobaria's knife went into his back at the

children would live in a happier world than he did.
