I am Natalya Mellark. And this is my story.
I was born in District 12, but I live in the capitol. How is that you ask? Well Mr. and Mrs. Mellark had me when the 50th Hunger Games just crowned its victor: Haymitch Abernathy. When I was 1 they put me up for adoption. People in the capitol adopted me. They were Ellyn and Airek Vaupen, and they were nice people. When I was older I married a man named Gianni Trinket, Effie's older brother. Every year I would get a letter from my parents. One year I got a letter that said I had a little brother named Levi. The next year I had another named Rye. The next I had another named Peeta. I never had seen them until the day of the reaping for the Seventy-fourth Hunger Games.
