SPOILERS!
Schlund seems to fit the role of Cashmere as she is describe as having long blond hair that cascades in curls. She’s bit conceited and showy and is reaped alongside with her brother Gloss. The two close siblings are consecutive Hunger Games winners who aren’t hesitant to return to the arena despite the fact that according to the rules, only one of the will survive. (Talk about sibling rivalry!) Needless to say, Cashmere is not too fond of Katniss as she was the one who killed the previous Tributes, Marvel and Glimmer, in the last Games.
END SPOILERS!
‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ continues the story of Katniss Everdeen who has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.
There still more reaping to be done so make sure you check back tomorrow to see who else will join the ‘Catching Fire’ cast.
