Meet Cashmere, victor of the 63rd Annual Hunger Games, a true Career. Well-known for her dashing looks, winning smile, ultra-calm persona and deadly aim, Cashmere is considered to be one of the finest examples of what a Hunger Games victor should be. Stunningly beautiful, oozing confidence and a level-headed killer at her best, Cashmere wowed a generation when she won the 63rd Annual Hunger Games aged just fifteen, a record at the time. To this day, she is the second youngest victor of them all, beaten to the top spot only by District 4's Finnick Odair.

Cashmere survived her Games through dextrous use of varied ranged weapons, despite being a specialised archer at first. When asked where her desire to win had come from after the Games, she replied that she wanted to better her brother Gloss, who was also training for the Games held that summer. In the end Gloss was not a part of the 63rd Games, but Cashmere still felt as though the recognition of the public was reason enough to volunteer for a part in the greatest spectacle of them all.

Since she won the Hunger Games twelve years ago, Cashmere has made the trip back to the Capitol every summer, mentoring tributes for her district on several occasions, although unfortunately she is yet to have mentored a victor. That being said, her summers spent in the Capitol nearly always find their way into the media. Maybe it's her friendly persona or that our friend Claudius Templesmith has a personal interest in her, but we've all heard the stories of her summers here in the Capitol, haven't we?

Moving forward to look at the Games which start tomorrow, Cashmere already stands out as a real contender. Younger than most of the other tributes and still in peak physical condition, Cashmere's nine in training just goes to prove that she's still got what it takes to compete in the greatest event of them all. Add in the large amount of sponsor support that she's likely to generate, and Cashmere Adlington will be among the favourites to win the Third Quarter Quell from the get-go.

Maybe it's her unrivalled beauty that makes us adore her so, or maybe it's the cold, calculating persons she adopts once in the arena. Or maybe it's just the fact that she volunteered for the Games at such a young age. But whatever the reason, Cashmere has got us hooked, and I'm sure that I speak for all of us when I say that I expect big things from her during the 75th Annual Hunger Games.
