~ Coral's last words to Lucy Gray Baird. |
Coral is a major antagonist in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, a prequel novel in The Hunger Games franchise. Coral is the female tribute from District 4 and one of the strongest tributes in the 10th Hunger Games. Her mentor is Capitol boy Festus Creed. During the games, she forms an alliance with her district partner, Mizzen, and the male tribute from 10, Tanner.
She was portrayed by Mackenzie Lansing.
Appearance[]
Coral is a fit girl with short hair and blue eyes.
Personality[]
Coral is sadistic, arrogant, and smart. She knew Lucy Gray would have been driven out by Mizzen using the spear. With this knowledge she used it for her advantage and started to hit the roof with her trident.
Coral hated Lucy Gray in the film, even mocking her in front of Coriolanus Snow. Coral didn't care much for the other tributes, not even her own allies. However, Coral deeply cared for Mizzen, being nice and sweet to him.
At the end of the games, Coral becomes desperate and pleads for her own life as she is bitten by snakes. Despite being a very deadly tribute, deep inside, all she really wanted was just to get out of the games. She was just like the other tributes, forced to fight in The Hunger Games.
