District 8
District 8 Specializes In Textiles (Including At Least One Factory In Which Peacekeeper Uniforms Are Made). District 8 Was One Of The First Districts To Rebel, As Katniss Saw On Mayor Undersee's Television. Two People From District 8, Bonnie And Twill, Escaped During One Of The Uprisings And Informed Katniss Of The Theory That District 13 Still Existed. It Is Implied That Security Is Strict In District 8 Following The Uprising, And The Citizens Are Desperate For Hope. In Mockingjay, Katniss Visits A Hospital In District 8, Which Is Later Bombed By The Capitol. The Leader Of District 8, Paylor, Is Able To Command Fierce Loyalty From Her Soldiers Who Follow Her Orders In Preference To Those Of Alma Coin, The President Of District 13. Paylor Later Becomes President Of Panem.
In The 74th Hunger Games, The Male Tribute From District 8 Died At The Cornucopia At The Hands Of Marvel; The Female Tribute Was Attacked By The Careers On The First Night And "Finished Off" By Peeta When Her Death Did Not Occur Immediately, As Indicated By Cannon Blast. In The 75th Hunger Games, Both Tributes From District 8, Woof And Cecelia, Died In The Initial Battle At The Cornucopia. Woof Was An Elderly, Senile Tribute In His 70's. Cecelia Was A Young Mother Of 3, And Was Noted To Be About 30 Years Of Age. It Is Later Revealed That Cecelia Was To Be An Original Member Of The Arranged Alliance To Save Katniss And Peeta From The Second Arena; However, She Did Not Survive The Initial Bloodbath. Woof Also Had Knowledge Of The Plot.
