Item from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
A three-pronged spear from the sea — Finnick Odair's signature weapon, wielded with the fluid precision of a man who learned to kill before he learned that the Capitol had already claimed his body.
Finnick won the 65th Hunger Games at age fourteen — the youngest victor in decades — largely because a sponsor sent him a trident during the Games. With it, he was unstoppable. The trident became his identity: the beautiful boy with the deadly fork from the sea. In the Quarter Quell, he fought with a trident again, covering Katniss's back with lethal efficiency. Finnick made killing look graceful, which the Capitol loved and which ate him alive inside. The trident is a fishing tool repurposed for murder — an apt metaphor for what the Capitol did to District 4's children.
A three-pronged metal trident with a weighted shaft, designed for both throwing and close combat. The tines are wickedly sharp. Finnick wields it with the casual grace of someone who's been handling similar weapons since childhood on District 4's fishing boats.
