A Timeline of the Tiger’s Journey After the Ballad of Songbirds and Serpents
While the Ballad of songbirds and snakes The film shows that Tigre is already starting to see the darkness in Coriolanus, they are still on good terms at the end of the book. After all, she knows nothing about the people he killed during his time in District 12 or the fact that he attempted to kill his now-lost lover, Lucy Gray Baird. The 10th Hunger Games didn’t have stylists, but with young Snow implementing some changes, like allowing viewers to bet on the death contest and rewarding winners, it probably didn’t take him long to suggest it. . Tigris helped Lucy Gray clean her dress and do her makeup before her interview, becoming the first unofficial stylistthe future president of Panem might even have asked him to lead the initiative when it became an integral part of the Games.
She was an integral part – a younger, less disturbing version of herself – of the first Hunger Games that I remember. A stylist, I think. I don’t remember which District. Not 12. So she had to have one operation too many and cross the finish line of repulsion.
-Katniss Everdeen, Mockingjay
We don’t know exactly when The hunger gamesTigris became an official stylist, but Katniss says in Mockingjay that she was “a fixture…in the first Hunger Games that I remember.” Since Katniss was 16 years old during the 74th Games, the first Games she remembers were probably between the 60th and 65th Games. Although it took Gamemakers a while to add stylists to each tribute, it would make sense for Tigre to be considered a fixture at the Games during Katniss’s time, as she could then have worked there for up to five decades. Katniss also notes that although Tigris had already started working on her feline transformation at this point in her life, she had not yet done much work.

Why the Hunger Games prequel proves Villain Origin’s story right
While many franchises have attempted to tell the story of a villain, The Ballad of Songbirds and Serpents perfectly tells the origin of Coriolanus Snow.
At some point before The hunger games, Tigris retired as a fashion designer and opened a boutique selling fur-lined clothing.. She also underwent extensive plastic surgery and had her face and arms tattooed to look like a tiger. Katniss speculates that she may have been kicked out of the Games due to her unsettling appearance, which is extreme even by Capitol standards. While Tigris confirms it in Mockingjay – Part 2claiming that Snow had decided she “wasn’t pretty enough anymore”, she neither confirms nor denies anything in the book. Regardless, it’s clear that she no longer has any loyalty to her cousin by the time she meets Katniss in Mockingjay because she joined Plutarch’s Heavensbee rebel network in the Capitol. She even smiles when Katniss says she’s going to murder Snow, leading many readers to wonder what made her decide to turn against her once-beloved cousin.
Why did Tigris join the rebellion against her cousin?
Hunger Games fans have their own theories about the Tiger’s trick
Considering how Tigre is much more empathetic towards the tributes than Coriolanus in The Ballad of Songbirds and Serpentsit is not surprising that she ends up siding against him during the Second Rebellion. Still, the lack of information has left fans speculating about which finally pushed the Tiger to the limitafter living through 75 years of The Hunger Games. It’s possible that Tigris began finding subtle ways to rebel against her tyrant cousin before she was supposedly fired. Since she looked more like Coriolanus when they were younger, maybe drastically altering his appearance was Tigris’ way of rejecting his family. This, in turn, could suggest that she turned on her cousin while she was still a stylist at the Games.
A fan theory from the Super Carlin Brothers YouTube channel looks at a potential reason for the Tiger’s shift in allegiance. They believe Tigris could have worked with Finnick Odair, winner of the 65th Hunger Games. As Finnick reveals in Mockingjayhe and other victors were victims of political sex trafficking by President Snow, who threatened to kill their loved ones if they did not cooperate. The Ballad of Songbirds and Serpents hints that Tigris may have resorted to prostitution to keep her family afloat, putting her in a unique position to understand just how terrible this practice was. By their time estimates, the end of his styling career may have coincided with Finnick becoming a winner. Combined with her already considerable empathy for the tributes, it seems very likely that the knowledge of the fate of the victors through Finnick would push Tigre to support the fall of Coriolanus.but the fans could use another one hunger games episode that addresses his story to be sure.

Could the Tiger appear at sunrise during the harvest?
The next Hunger Games prequel could fill in some gaps in Tigris’ story
hunger games fans were thrilled when it was announced that Suzanne Collins was writing another prequel about Haymitch Abernathy titled Sunrise over the harvest. The synopsis confirms that the new novel will open with the start of the 50th Games, won by Haymitch, but some speculate that this book could venture well beyond the second Quarter Quell and explore Haymitch’s time as a mentor . This could even include other familiar faces, like Tigris, who was probably a stylist around this time. in the franchise. The two never meet in the original hunger games trilogy, and given how little Katniss knows about Tigris, she wouldn’t know if the former stylist has ever crossed paths with her mentor before.
As Katniss learns in
Catch fire
there were twice as many tributes during the second Quarter Quell, meaning Haymitch was one of 48 tributes.
Although Katniss claims that Tigris was not a stylist for District 12, it is still possible that she styled Haymitch for his Games or perhaps she simply met him when he was paying tribute to her during the second Quarter Quell. Tigris could also have gotten to know the second winner of District 12 during his years as a mentor, having been a “must see” at the event in Katniss’s eyes. Since the audience doesn’t know exactly when either character became involved in Plutarch’s resistance, they could even have met through the Gamemaker. Of course, there is no guarantee that they ever met or that Sunrise over the harvest will explore the story of the Tiger, but given the time in which the novel takes place, he’s in the perfect position to help flesh out some of his missing years. Otherwise, Collins might have a great candidate for his next role. hunger games prequel.
