Savana Midas (District 8)

Savana Midas is very petite, an agile 12 year old. She has flawless olive skin and long, raven-black hair that flows down to her waist. Her almond-shaped eyes are a warm golden-brown, and they portray an innocence combined with wisdom.

She stands short, only 4'8", and is very thin. She is underfed, coming from a poorer family, but she is able to sustain by sneakily stealing food from the few richer families in the distict. Though she is very young still, her facial features appear too mature for her age.

Savana is very quiet naturally, but that doesn't stop her sense of curiosity. She loves to help her mother in the factory, manufacturing many different fabrics into unique articles of clothing. When Savana speaks, she speaks with meaning. She is deep and full of wisdom, again showing maturity for her age.

Savana is also very intuitive. She easily reads into other people's thoughts and moods, and knows how to make them happy or, if necessary, angry and confused. She is independent, preferring to be alone. The exception to this is her loving mother.

She is very speedy as well. She can run the fastest of any girl her age, and her strides are silent and graceful. However, she isn't very strong. She never won a wrestling match in her life. She dislikes the idea of hunting, as she is an animal lover. Unfortunately, she is aware that she cannot afford to be picky with her food.

Savana is an only child. While her mother was pregnant, her father died when one of the textile machines overgeated and exploded. Savana's short mother provided for her daughter by working many jobs, but when Savana was 6 years old her mother became very ill. She was forced to quit all but one job, and it barely provided enough for her and her daughter. But Savana quickly learned she could steal. She was stealthy and silent, and soon she was able to provide her mother with many meat pies and other goods.

Savana often wonders about what life would be like if her father was still alive. She doesn't have a picture of him, so she constantly tries to imagine her father's appearance. She already knows she looks just like her mother, but her mother constantly tells her she has the warm eyes of her father.

Savana has only seen a handful of the many Hunger Games in her lifetime, and she watches them sadly but quietly. She had a chance to talk to the female tribute from District 8 in the 58th Hunger Games, trying to warn her about her demise and how to avoid it. However, the tribute dismissed this child's advice. Ever since then, she has been silent about her important advice.
