Welcome to Celebrate Your Victors: Spotlight, a weekly feature where we take you back to the moments where those eligible for this year’s Quarter Quell first became victors.
Johanna Mason by Samantha Sisson (@65thvictor)
Johanna Mason At Fourteen
Seventy-First Victor
District Seven
While Johanna Mason wasn't the first tribute to feign innocence, she is one of the most treasured. The switch from weak little girl to savage killer was so instantaneous, a Games that looked like it was going to end with another Career Victor took a sharp turn that shocked everyone. Johanna immediately won the hearts of millions in the Capitol, where an excellent show is always prized, and an excellent actor even more so!
Johanna has since enjoyed enduring popularity in the Capitol. Her biting wit and dry speech are her trademark, and there are those who actively antagonize her just to be the receptor of one of her wonderfully quick comebacks. While we doubt that Johanna will try to pretend innocence again in the Quarter Quell, we'd certainly be wary of her ability to deceive.
