In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games. The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which "Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains.
Cinna — Katniss's stylist, responsible for her public appearance. After designing the spectacular outfits of the opening ceremony, which include igniting Katniss and Peeta's costumes with synthetic fire, he nicknames Katniss, "The Girl On Fire." Cinna is in his first year as a stylist for the Games, and specifically requested to be assigned to District 12. His audacious designs immediately win over the audience in favor of the District 12 tributes. Despite (or perhaps because of) his professional interest in image, Cinna proves to be better than most at seeing through the superficial spectacle of the Games to their barbaric core, "using [her] outfits as a vehicle to express potentially dangerous ideas." He and Katniss establish an easy, comfortable relationship and he demonstrates a genuine concern for her well-being. In Catching Fire, Cinna dresses her for her interview in her wedding dress, as insisted by President Snow, but alters it so that when Katniss raises her arms and twirls at her interview, the white dress burns away to be replaced with a black dress of feathers that resembles a mockingjay, which has become the symbol of the resistance in Panem. Because of this, Cinna is savagely beaten "to a pulp" in front of Katniss, right before she enters the arena for the Quarter Quell, which also has the effect of unnerving Katniss before the great ordeal. We hear that he might have been tortured to death after the arena explodes. Cinna is very different from the other inhabitants of the Capitol; he does not use surgery to alter his features, wears simple black clothes, has just a thin streak of gold eyeliner (unlike other Capitol citizens), and leaves his hair its natural dark brown color, close cropped. His only concession to the Capitol's fashion style is a slight touch of gold eyeliner that brings out the gold flecks in his eyes. Cinna is portrayed by Lenny Kravitz in the film version of The Hunger Games.
