Chapter 2: All on show

Katniss: I'm going to like this part, where we get to see what the prep-team-turned-stylists come up with. Every tribute will be dressed up to match their name, we shall see what the Capital and the rebels think of them. The crowd roared especially loud when Glacier and Rowan were called. Glacier's team had kept up with her cruel but beautiful look. She wore a shimmering ice blue, floor length dress with a long slit up the side. Her blue hair was half up and in ringlets. She looked unimaginably regal.

Rowan was obviously supposed to look like a hunter with jade green hair and soft boots. A plain green tunic and a golden bow completed the look. He was intended to look strong and rough but he was too young at thirteen to really pull it off. Halcyon's purple skin was set off by her short silver dress and matching feathered wings. And the boy I had thought looked quite gangster had some sort of sparkling vampire suit. A rose was thrown to Glacier and, with lighting fast reflexes she caught it and held it in the air for all to see. It was white.
