The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A Look at the Tributes

The 75th Hunger Games, also known as the Quarter Quell, brought together a new set of tributes to compete in the arena. Among them were Cashmere and Gloss, siblings from District 1 who had already made a name for themselves in the world of the Hunger Games.

In the film, Katniss was initially disgusted by Cashmere's fake behavior and illegitimate emotions, but Haymitch later explained that all tributes would do anything to stop the Games. Despite her questionable tactics, Cashmere was able to evoke sympathy from the audience, including Katniss's prep team, who were moved to tears by her speech.

Cashmere's strategy was to play on the audience's emotions, and she did so during an interview with Caesar Flickerman. She pretended to be distraught, claiming that she couldn't stop crying when thinking about how the residents of the Capitol must be suffering from losing the victors. Her performance earned her a 'predictably high score' after her private session with the Gamemakers.

Despite their manipulative tactics, Cashmere and Gloss were able to mingle with the other Career tributes and Peeta Mellark. Katniss described them as 'polite but cool,' and felt that her attempts to connect with them were 'mediocre at best.' The siblings also invited Katniss to join them in making hammocks at the Training Center, but their friendly demeanor did not translate to the arena.

Once the Games began, Cashmere and Gloss proved themselves to be deadly opponents. They trained together at the knife-throwing station, eliminating two targets with a single throw. It's also possible that they mentored other tributes, such as Glimmer and Marvel, in previous Hunger Games.

As the Games progressed, it became clear that Cashmere and her brother were not fans of the idea of returning to the arena. They both made speeches to try and convince the Capitol to call off the Quell, implying that they may have had some level of influence or power within the district.

In the end, Cashmere's Career tribute status, good looks, and her brother's fame likely earned her a large number of sponsors and helped her to survive the Games. Despite her questionable morals and tactics, Cashmere proved herself to be a formidable opponent in the arena.
