Character from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
District 7's axe-wielding Victor who won her Games by pretending to be a helpless weakling — then killed everyone. The Capitol took everyone she loved. She has nothing left to lose and she knows it.
Johanna Mason's winning strategy was the most cynical in Hunger Games history: she acted weak, cried at her interview, stumbled through training, and let every other tribute dismiss her. Then she killed them all. The Capitol loved it. Then the Capitol killed everyone she loved — her family, her friends, anyone who could be used as leverage — because she refused to be sold the way Finnick was. She's abrasive, fearless, and honest to the point of cruelty. She says what everyone else is thinking and doesn't care who it offends. She's terrified of water — the Capitol tortured her with it — and she covers that vulnerability with aggression the way other people use armor. She allied with Katniss in the Quarter Quell despite not liking her much, because the rebellion needed the Mockingjay alive. She took a knife for Katniss to sell the tracker-removal cover story. She was captured and tortured by the Capitol. She survived, because that's what Johanna does — she survives out of spite.
Sharp, angular features with short-cropped dark hair — she hacked it off herself and never grew it back. She's lean and hard, built like the lumber workers of District 7. Her eyes are brown and constantly furious. She has no vanity about her body — she stripped naked in an elevator full of strangers just to watch them squirm. Scars from Capitol torture mark her skin after Mockingjay.
