Skye Hughes

Skye Hughes, the daughter of Isobel and Abner Hughes, was the victor of the 66th Hunger Games.She lived in District 12 for almost all of her life, save for some time in the Capitol and in District 13 during the rebellion.

Biography
Skye lives in a comfortable part of District 12 with her mother, a seamstress. Her father died in a mining accident when Skye was 11. Since then, she helps her mother out with her clothing shop, doing her best to keep it in business. Her sister, Sarah, who was two years older than Skye, was the winner of the 64th Hunger Games. She was secretly married to December Madden, who later adopted a child named Nova. However Sarah died from a shot in the head after she was announced the winner of the games. Her other sister, Sofia, who is nine years older than Skye, married Marcus Mellark, and had a son with him, named Peeta. Skye often spends time sewing or, for Peeta's sake, helping out in the bakery. She also likes going out to the lake in the forest and swimming, despite the risk of getting caught or getting sick, and often catches fish and small animals with her knives. She later ends up dating, and eventually marrying her Hunger Games Mentor, Haymitch Abernathy. The couple have four children; Maysilee and Jonas, three years apart, as a way to honor the Allies that both Haymitch and Skye lost in their games, and Finnick and Primrose, twins, as a way to remember the people they lost in the war.

The Reaping
Skye was reaped for the 66th Annual Hunger Games at the age of 18. Her name only circulated the bowl seven times, seeing as her mother wouldn't allow her to apply for tessera. She is picked along with Jonas Brady, who was 17. Despite knowing that there's only a year between her and Jonas, Skye feels a strong urge of protection over the boy, who reminds her of an older version of Peeta.

Before leaving to the Capitol, Skye has the chance to say goodbye to her family. She promises to win and come back to them, no matter what. She makes Sofia swear to take care of their mother, and asks Peeta not to watch the games. She would later learn that the young boy went against her wishes and watched anyway. December gives her the Madden Family Ring to take with her, despite Skye's protests.

Meeting Haymitch
""I knew your sister. One of the best damn tributes I ever had. You look like her, you know?""

- Haymitch Abernathy to Skye Hughes

She and Jonas meet Haymitch on the train ride to the Capitol. She is eager to talk to him, both about the games, and about her sister. She has to take the cup of tea that he's spiked with whiskey and chug it down so that she gives him answers, which is one of the first things that makes Haymitch attracted to her.

He tells her how fond he was of Sarah, and how she had great tactics and managed to get a lot of sponsors with her skills and her charm. Skye nearly cries at that, and quickly changes the subject, immediately getting some survival tips

Information to be added

Training
When Training, Skye is careful not to reveal any of the skills she already knows; firemaking, hunting for food, and making fish hooks. Haymitch had told the previous night that, because of her sewing experience, she knows precision and the impact of a small weapon. When asked how Haymitch knew this, he says that Sarah had the same skills.

She practices with knives, a crossbow, and a spear, though out of all three weapons, she finds the crossbow to be her favorite. Outside of this, she also excelled at identifying edible plants and the rope course, along with camouflage. She becomes allies with Elora Noel and Riggs Huxley at the camouflage station, both Tributes from district twelve. She later learns that Jonas had formed an alliance with Kenji Denner and Iris Moon from District 6, as well as Anelle Pheonix from District 2.

During her private training session, she shoots arrows and throws knives, as well as creating fish hooks and starting a fire in the nick of time like Haymitch had suggested. Her actions here gave her a 9 as her training score.

Interviews
When it came to the interviews, Skye could not stop worrying. How to act, how to talk, etc. Her dress was simple and black, much to the horror of Effie Trinket. It fell just slightly off her shoulders, and the skirt of the dress was covered in black crystals, which she assumed to be Onyx Stones. She was interviewed by Caesar Flickerman, just as Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen would be. She spoke about her sister, her experience in the Capitol, and the confidence she had about winning the games.

Into the Arena
""Sorry. I had to do that because I know that I couldn't live with myself if I died before kissing you.""

- Skye Hughes To Haymitch Abernathy Skye Hardly sleeps the night before the games, and finds herself having a drink with Haymitch in his room. When she's fully intoxicated, she tells him how scared she is and how she doesn't want her death to be like Sarah's. He assures her that she won't die in the games, and she kisses his cheek before passing out on the couch.

When she wakes up the next morning, he gives her a Hangover Pill, which is one of the perks of the Capitol. Her stylist, Anabel, dresses her in her uniform for the games, telling her that it conserves body heat and that it's layered, so she should prepare to be in a cold place.

She speaks with Haymitch while waiting for the launch, with his last advice to her being that when she gets to the cornucopia bloodbath, she ought to get a weapon, and get out, and that she should stick with her Allies. She thanks him and kisses him when the launch is announced.

Cornucopia Bloodbath
When the games start, Skye is quick to run to the cornucopia, her speed surprisingly quick. She picks up a crossbow and a backpack before making a run for it, only for a body to drop dead in front of her. She recognizes it as Cree Hollows, a tribute from district 11. She pulls three throwing knives out of his back before running into the forest.

Later, when she's met up with Jonas, Anelle, Elora, Iris and Riggs, she learns that Kenji was killed by Rae Keller from District 9. The six of them make their way deeper into the forest, looking for water and possible shelter.

When they set up camp for the night, Skye opens her backpack to find a scarf, a jacket, 10 feet of rope, flint, ripped up clothes, and an extremely small sewing kit. She wraps herself up in the scarf to keep her warm as she sleeps that night.

Second Day
After being awoken by a screaming Iris, Skye and the others find out that they've been found by three of the careers. Anelle, Skye and Riggs hold them off while Elora and Jonas help an injured Iris get away from the fight.

Skye ends up stabbing a girl from District 4 with one of her crossbow arrows, and she and her allies run away from the scene as the careers fret over the girl.

The Aftermath
After winning the Games, Skye moves into a house in Victors Village with her mother. She doesn't spend a lot of time in her own house, especially seeing as her mom's shop has been doing extremely well since she was chosen for the games. A lot of her time is spent at Haymitch's house, and during the nights, she turns the house that would've been Sarah's into a memorial
