Quiola Cassidy- Kerry Selmosa
I hadn't known Quiola back home. I'd barely seen her in the Capitol either. Maybe I should have felt loyalty to another Five, but I was just sorry she'd died because she was a person. I felt sorry when anyone here died.
Incense Balboa- Ventrix Webb
The odd girl had died. I saw her in the Capitol, raising one foot over a crack carefully or counting the number of leaves in a bowl. I never said anything to her, but I always wondered how alike we were. Something was odd with her head, and sometimes I felt the same way.
Zinnia Fraser- Granja Valdez
I thought Zinnia was going to win. She was just so alive and determined. I didn't think anyone could kill her. Anyone could die here. I already knew that was true for me, but seeing Zinnia made me see how close it was.
Tillo Peters
I knew it wasn't going to happen this year. Inky was far too gentle. I knew what it took to win the Games. It had to be the most important thing in your mind. For Inky, there were many more important things. Humanity, for one. Blaise was too young and too confident. Kids like him should learn their limitations by picking a fight with someone bigger, not getting killed in a deathmatch.
District Eight
Inky's parents still had clearance, but no one wanted to go near the library. They made candles almost obsessively, until the house was blazing with a million flames day and night. It still wasn't as bright as it used to be. Blaise's parents mourned in their own way, and all of Eight was cheering for Three now.
Bambi Kirkland
They didn't end up like me. That was the only thing to be happy about. Zinnia wouldn't have changed in a hundred Games and Rory made his choice when the time came. Neither of them lived long enough to see what the Games could turn them into.
District Ten
It was the best memorial possible for Zinnia that the Peacekeepers breathed down our neck for a week hoping for a reason to punish us for her disrespect. If she'd been here, she certainly would have given them enough reason to raze the entire District. Rory's memorial, like Rory, was more peaceful. Gwen fed the animals alone. She started calling her favorite cow Rory, because he was strong just like her brother.
