I must say, your District made quite the splash at the Tribute Parade. Tell us what you were feeling up there! Confident, nervous, excited?

“I felt very confident, and quite frankly, I’d say the stylists did a wonderful job with District Four’s attire this year. Stunning work, truly.”

How confident do you feel about the games now that you've seen your Training Score?

“I’m not too happy with my training score, if I’m being totally honest. I could’ve gotten a better score with the skills I have, but I guess I’ll have to prove that in the arena, won’t I?”

What about the other tributes? Intimidating? Interesting? Irritating?

“I’ve found most of them to be quite interesting, actually. They intrigue me, and I’m interested to see what comes of them.”

What has impressed you most about the Capitol since you've been here?

“Oh, the Capitol is beyond beautiful, honestly. The look of everything is immaculate, even compared to how beautiful everything is back home in Four. Consider me impressed.”

Tell us what a typical day in your shoes is like back home. Do you work? Do you have any hobbies or secret talents?

“I spend a lot of time with my sister, Marina. Even if we don’t always get along, I couldn’t imagine not having her around.”

What about romance? Cute as you are, I bet there is someone back home waiting, right?

“Oh, no, not me. I mean, I’d love something like that, but it just wasn’t ever practical back home, with all my training and everything.”

And your family. Sensitive subject, I'm sure, but... could you tell us about them?

“As I said, my sister and I spent a lot of time together, and I love her despite our arguments. My parents are always busy, so they’re not around a lot, but I love them too.”

I want to know: What is it that you'll be fighting for in that arena? What is it you want to get back home to?

“I want to get back home to Marina. She’s my biggest support even if she’s also my biggest pain in the ass. I want to prove how capable I am.”

I'm afraid we're almost out of time. Parting words to the crowd? The tributes? Your friends and family back home?

“Just wait until you see me in a crown.”
