hestia iris flamsteed
escort, district two, organised, punctual, stubborn
the 74th hunger games present hestia's sixth year as an escort. she started out in district twelve for three years, was bumped up to district eight for a year and was then moved to district two last year. she was very close with her sister thalia as a child but had to sacrifice their strong bond in order to blossom as a capitol butterfly. she did just that and found herself in the company of those people that everybody knew. the two sisters are now working with the same district and so this may give them a chance to pick up where they left off.
hestia knows everybody that's anybody in the capitol. most of these that she would actually call friends are likely to be around her age, possibly lots of models, fashion designers, movie stars, all that kind of thing. the famous people that are rich even by capitol standards. i assume she'd also have a fairly good relationship with whatever mentors and stylists she happens to be working with in a given year as while she will happily act in the way she's expected to, she doesn't think it's right to drag children away from their families and make them kill each other for entertainment.
unfortunately for her, not everybody knows her true opinion of the hunger games and so many of the people in the districts will just see her as an irritating and ignorant woman that gets a kick from seeing their friends and family killed for pleasure. she does her best to demonstrate that she's actually a nice person but she can't be unenthusiastic about the games while the cameras are rolling and that's usually when most people see her. that aside, her stubborn and pedantic nature can often rub people the wrong way too. she likes things to go her way (she's useless in a team unless she's in charge) and they have to be done exactly as she says or she'll just dismiss you and do it herself. if she had the time and hands to do everything herself then she probably would. she doesn't want your help but she needs it and she hates it whenever somebody reminds her of this.
as far as lovers are concerned, hestia hasn't dated anyone since she was eighteen and it only lasted four months because septimus ivory, her boyfriend of the time, had tried to push her further than she was ready for. she puts all of her energy into her job and genuinely doesn't have time for a relationship. could she be persuaded otherwise? possibly. some guy that's just really nice isn't going to convince her because she needs more excitement than that. he's got to catch her off guard and never let him forget her for a second but he can't be such a distracting thought that she can't concentrate on her work. almost like a fairy tale ending but with some extra capitol spiceand certainly not russell brand.

cadmus everett selkirk
tribute, district four, clever, realistic, perceptive
cadmus' name was drawn from the reaping ball when he was twelve years old, shortly after his father was drowned while trying to meet an increased fish quota for the capitol. a boy called otto baxwoll, the mayor's son, volunteered in his place and died in the bloodbath. so when wade baxwoll's name was called out this year, cadmus felt compelled to volunteer in order to repay his debt as he would surely have died if he'd entered the games earlier. he learnt how to use a bow and arrow through fishing as it was the only plan he could come up with in order to get one from a peacekeeper.

artemis hemera edenthaw
mentor, district twelve, maternal, protective, determined
artemis is the victor of the fifty-ninth hunger games as a tribute from district twelve. she was determined to come home and killed thirteen tributes in the four day long games using a combination of throwing knives and nightlock juices. she didn't turn to alcohol or morphling (simply because it didn't help her when she tried) and so has been left with a strong case of paranoia. to ensure the capitol didn't strike out against her family (as her eldest brother's already an avox), she agreed to be a mentor for district twelve in the annual hunger games.
i don't see her as the type to have masses of friends, especially not capitol folk. she sent her own family back to their old home because she was scared she might hurt them in her paranoid state. any friends she does have are likely to be people that she trusts very much. one person that springs to mind as a possibility is the other mentor for district twelve but i can't see her making any effort with other mentors. she'll be nice enough to potential sponsors but she only wants their money.
as far as enemies go, she's not a huge fan of the capitol though it's more the people in charge that she would call enemies. they drove her to kill thirteen people before she'd even turned eighteen and left her in a state where she could well kill more if they caught her by surprise. as for the ordinary civilians, she just sees them as ignorant and has little time for them. i also presume that anybody who knew the children she killed wouldn't be particularly fond of her as it was something of a ruthless tactic.
lovers are extremely difficult to come by. i don't imagine she's had any romantic interactions whatsoever since winning the games but then she's got far more important things to be worried about. then again, it could be nice to see her stumble upon someone that calms her down and makes her feel safe. children? no, she's never going to risk putting them through the hunger games. just because she's a victor won't keep her children safe and won't mean they'd be a victor too.

jasper phineas whishart
stylist, district nine, jealous, creative, horny
jasper was born and raised in the capitol with a movie director and a leading fashion designer for his parents. as such, it only makes sense that he's a little typical of the city. his sister was born seven years later and sparked off an incurable jealousy in jasper that he still holds to this day. he's comfortable in knowing that his parents' eyes are now back on him as a stylist for the hunger games but he still strives to get that spotlight from everybody else too.
though he might have some rather undesirable characteristics, he's a nice enough person. he enjoys spending time with his friends and thinks very highly of them. if they need his help then he'll do his best or else direct them to someone that could do a better job than he could. some find his almost immaturity endearing while others are simply irritated by it. it's those that take him for who he is that mean the most to him.
jasper doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut and this often results in people growing to dislike him. he's always got something to say, whether it's complete bullshit or an ugly truth. he actually gets a strange enjoyment from arguing with people and excuses himself by claiming to be practicing for when he becomes a philosopher after he's done as a stylist... but he has no intention of sitting down to write about things with no definite answer. he won't go hating on people that he dislikes as he's far more likely to just ignore you or be painfully nice just to twist the knife a little further.
as for lovers... well, define it. he's down for sex with anyone that he finds attractive but there are very few that he'd actually go as far as to say that he loves. he's not fussy when it comes to gender (though he may lean a little towards males) which makes a lot more opportunities open to him. he's the type of guy that when he says he's working through a list, he's probably got an actual list written down at home. don't be put off by his accessibility though - just because he's never been in a longer relationship doesn't mean it wouldn't interest him. it might take a little effort to be exclusive but if he thinks you're worth it then he'll do it.

hyperia siobhan greenlaw
prep team, district seven, sarcastic, ambitious, gossiper
hyperia has been on the prep team for a couple of years now after failing to jump straight into styling. sometimes she sets her sights too high and then throws a tantrum when she falls short. she knows what she wants from life and is prepared to do whatever it takes to get there. ria is a bitch, plain and simple. she finds humour in seeing people cry and an argument entertains her more than anything else in the world, whether she's involved or just the cause.
any friends of hyperia's are likely to be similar to her. i imagine they'll be the group of girls that sit together bitching about people they don't like and as soon as one of them walks away, they then become the target of the gossiping. they're all just a bunch of backstabbers. she might have one or two genuine friends but don't expect a great deal of sentiment from her. she cares for nobody but herself.

palaemon felix overwhill
prep team, district seven, modest, dependable, sincere
palaemon takes the lead in the prep team as he's the most level-headed of the three. without him, stefan and hyperia would struggle to work together simply because of their different personalities. pal tends to have this sort of calming effect on people because he just doesn't get stressed, or rather he doesn't let people see this. he prefers to suffer in silence rather than let people know of his insecurities because he'd rather not pour his heart out to someone unless he knows they won't stamp on it.
being a rather friendly person, i imagine most people will at least be his acquaintance. he's rarely seen without a smile unless he's focusing intently on something and even then there's a certain relaxation to his features that says "i'm really busy but i'm not going to kill you if you distract me." while he's not much of a talker himself, he will happily sit and listen to the problems of anyone that wishes to confide in him because he knows how important it is to have someone to trust and if someone has selected him then he's not about to deny them this. he's a genuinely nice person and a worthwhile friend to have.
with enemies, palaemon is more likely to try to carry on as normal than hold a grudge. while he will never forget if you've upset him or someone he cares for, he will try to move past it simply so that it doesn't impact his work. if work conflicts aren't an issue then he'll just avoid confrontation where possible. he won't avoid certain places just because he knows you'll be there but if he can prevent a conversation then he'll do so. he's not the type to get competitive, especially when people's lives are involved, and so i doubt he'll have any rivals.
for lovers, pal could probably get any girl he wanted for his wonderful personality and appearance. unfortunately for them, there isn't a single girl on the planet that could interest him in a romantic manner. while he's not in a hurry to get into a relationship, he is always on the lookout for people that might be able to make him happy in that department. he'd be incredibly loyal to his other half and do anything in his power to ensure nothing stood between them unless they would both be better off going their separate ways. even then, he would want things to end on a positive and would try to remain friends if possible.

stefan arcturus elphinstone
prep team, district seven, immature, playful, energetic
stefan is the childish member of the prep team that you wish you could hate for his immaturity but you can't because he's just too fucking adorable. he only started working with the tributes last year so he hasn't got a huge deal of experience but he's good enough to keep up with palaemon and hyperia.
i imagine a fair few people would be drawn to his easy going nature. he does whatever he feels like doing at that particular moments so that he spends as little of his life being bored as he can. though he's often quite immature, he can be sensible when he feels like it and this is often the case when one of his friends needs some support. while he may seem very young, he's by no means stupid. he knows what the world is like, he's just trying to live in his own because it's better there.
his childishness is also bound to irritate some people as they think he's not taking his job seriously when the person he's prepping is relying on him for their life. it's usually the people that don't take the time to get past this impression that have a disliking for him as the two people he spends the most time with and should thus be most irritated are probably the two people that appreciate him the most.
as far as lovers go, stefan has just come out of a few year relationship [see his request that i'm too lazy to link to] and is completely devastated. as a result, he's going to find someone else to help him get over her and the individual that he'll latch himself on to has also been requested. he's picked him out both as a rebound and also to allow him to explore his bicuriosity. they'll initially just be fuck buddies but that may develop into something more depending on what the person that takes him decides.

eupraxia merope reynolds
actress and singer, the capitol, talented, ignorant, self-obsessed
what's the capitol equivalent of hollywood? whatever it is, eupraxia leads the way. she's been an actress ever since a casting director came to her school at the age of fourteen and then conquered the music industry at seventeen. she's one of those people that if someone says they've never heard of them, you think they must have been living in a cave their whole like because she's everywhere. even the districts know who she is. she made a stab at fashion and though it didn't take off as well as her acting and singing, her label is still in many shops across the city.
as far as friends go, they're all going to be famous. i imagine most of them will be fellow actors and singers but there's likely to be some models, fashion designers and general socialites in there too. if nobody knows who you are, she'll have little time for you unless you can impress her - this will usually be through vocals but she might pay attention to a stunning little actor/actress if she sees them in a good movie.
as for enemies, i imagine she's going to get on a few people's nerves but she keeps her more unpleasant side hidden from the cameras so these people will need to have met her in person. eupraxia gets rather annoyed with anyone that doesn't know of her or doesn't appreciate her success and she also gets annoyed by people that have no talent but are still trying to invade the industry. what annoys her even more is when they actually manage to do so.
lovers? anyone she dates is going to be thrown into the public eye so they have to be able to handle that. i imagine most of the people she dates will be co-stars from her movies because it always seems to be that way with actors. there could also be the occasional musician that she's worked with but i can't see her dating anyone that hasn't made a name for themselves.
