Winning the Games isn't just about being the best; it's also about luck and looking the part. Peeta and Katniss know by now how to work the media – or at least their advisers do. Both Portia, Peeta's stylist, and Cinna seem to have a sixth sense about how to present their charges so they have the best chance of captivating the media and winning sponsors.

Quote 2

He turns me toward a mirror so that I can take in the entire effect. I do not see a girl, or even a woman, but some unearthly being who looks like she might make her home in the volcano that destroyed so many in Haymitch's Quell. The black crown, which now appears red-hot, casts strange shadows on my dramatically made-up face. Katniss, the girl on fire, has left behind her flickering flames and bejeweled gowns and soft candlelight frocks. She is as deadly as fire itself. (15.15)
