Avens Southling

Avens Southling (14 April 11 AS  – 18 June 2  PS ) was the male tribute from District 11 in the 2nd Hunger Games. Originally from Tyger, he was 12-years-old and was studying in primary school prior to being reaped for the games.

In the games, Southling was the third tribute to die. Unable to swim, Southling jumped into the water surrounding the cornucopia immediately after the games began and drowned.

Early life
Southling was born in Tyger, District 11 to single mother Ginger Southling. He was raised by his mother and maternal grandmother, both of whom worked as farmers. Southling was an only child.

Reaping
At the reapings for the 2nd Hunger Games, Southling was reaped for the games. As District 11 is not a district where children are eager to be reaped, there were no volunteers to take his place. The escort for District 11 was Tudor Sampson, while the female tribute was Sage Nornhall.

Opening ceremony
In the opening ceremony, Southling was styled by the District 11 head stylist Henna Limean. As District 11's industry is agriculture, Limean designed a costume for her tributes portraying them as Mother Nature and her son. They placed 4th out of 12.

Training
In training, Southling demonstrated little athletic ability, but advanced ability in differentiating plant species. This earned him a training score of 2.

Games
In the games, Southling was the second tribute to die. Unable to swim, Southling jumped into the water surrounding the cornucopia immediately after the games began and drowned. He placed 22nd out of 24.
