Amelia Roost

Amelia Roost (2 May 11 AS  – 20 June 2  PS ) was the female tribute from District 12 in the 2nd Hunger Games. Originally from Hailgard, she was 12-years-old and was studying in primary school prior to being reaped for the games.

Roost was the sixteenth tribute to die. Immediately after the beginning of the games, Roost was startled at the appearance of water, as she could not swim. Noticing her struggle and being reminded of his younger sister, Alix Treilblitzer of District 4 saved her from drowning and brought her to the Career camp. Although initially receiving a lukewarm reception from the other Careers, Roost was quickly taken under their wing and treated like a younger sister by them. With her time with them, Roost was taught by the other Careers how to swim, hunt, and kill. Roost was killed on Day 3, when the anti-Career alliance launched an attack on the Career camp; she was killed with a spear by Paul Lyons of District 9.

Early life
Roost was born in Hailgard, District 12 to parents Isaac and Isabell Roost, and was raised in the Blood Mines neighborhood. Her mother died of cancer when Roost was young, and her father works as a coal miner. Roost is an only child.

Reaping
At the reapings for the 2nd Hunger Games, Roost was reaped for the games. As District 12 is not a district where children are eager to be reaped, there were no volunteers to take her place. The escort for District 12 was Pia Chino, while the male tribute was Kenni Kleft.

Opening ceremony
In the opening ceremony, Roost was styled by the District 12 head stylist Pam Leiner. As District 12's industry is coal, Leiner designed a costume portraying her tributes as coal miners. They placed 9th out of 12.

Training
In training, Roost demonstrated little athletic ability, but immense intelligence and intuition. This earned her a training score of 2.
