Reminder- I do not own any of the original characters from the hit novel series Hunger Games. All of the characters and the concepts of Panem belong to Suzanne Collins. The only characters I own are Samwell Finnick Odair, Felix Andre, Leenie Oswald, Cassandra and Scarlette Hawthorne and any other minor characters. :)
