District 1 tributes tend to be overconfident. They often use the district´s close connection to Capitol to gain favour with the sponsors. They are also known to be physically attractive.
The Reaping
The first part of the reaping has the escort choose one male and one female tribute from eligible youth between the age of twelve and eighteen. Once they have been introduced, the escort then calls forth all possible volunteers.
These volunteers then cast their names into two new pools-one for males and one for females, from which the already chosen tributes draw the names of their substitutes.
Volunteers are mostly children from families able to pay their tuition in one of the elite tribute academies, where they train multiple years to later compete in the Hunger Games. It is considered the highest honour to become the tribute of District 1.

District Info:
The society, as well as the industry, is strongly divided in District one. Though being widely known as the richest district in Panem, it is only a handful of elite families, who can truly enjoy the wealth this status represents. These families head the local guilds of skilled artisans, who provide Capitol with the magnificent luxury goods district 1 is known for.
The rest of the population are either factory workers, or miners, who work in poor condition in exchange for their children not having to attend the Hunger Games.
The architecture of District 1 is strongly influenced by the Capitol. The Justice building, as well as the houses of the elite families, are large, snowy white structures with roman features. They overlook the rest of the district, bested only by the distant glamour of the Victor´s village.
The Artisans, as well as other guild members, are accommodated below these structures, in yellowed buildings on the slope leading towards the base of the district Vineyard plains. At the foot of the district are the neglected abodes of miners, kept under the watchful eye of local peacekeepers, so that they would not disturb the peace above.
