The guy is billed as Panem's Sexiest Man Alive! Eat your heart out, Bradley Cooper! Her Backstory : Like all her fellow Quarter Quell tributes, Mags is a victor an all-star, if you will from a previous Games. Which one, we don't know for sure. And since her time in the arena, she's served as a mentor for District 4's other tributes, including the beloved Finnick. Her Path to the Quarter Quell : Mags and Katniss share more in common than outsmarting the Capitol: They've both volunteered as tribute.
Mags' name wasn't actually drawn for the 75th Hunger Games. Instead, it was that of Finnick's lady love, Annie Cresta, but Mags takes her place — most likely due to Annie's emotional instability.
Her Skills : In her advanced age, Mags isn't exactly the ideal physical specimen. For one, she has a stutter, which Katniss chocks up to an earlier stroke. She mumbled every time she spoke; Katniss believes it is because of a possible stroke she may have had in the past.
While in training for the third Quarter Quell , Katniss watched as Mags displayed her skill of being able to make fishhooks out of nearly anything. This skill, plus the fact that she volunteered to take Annie Cresta's place, made Katniss want Mags to be one of her allies in the arena. Described to be in her eighties, Mags was the oldest tribute in the 75th Hunger Games, while Woof was the second oldest.
She was carried by Finnick most of the time as she wasn't able to walk very fast. Finnick and Mags are flung back when Peeta walks into the force field , due to the force in which Peeta is thrust back in.
When Katniss throws some nuts at the force field to determine where it is, Mags eats a mouthful of them. Katniss is alarmed as they don't know if the nuts are poisonous, but Finnick allows her to since he believes she knows what she's doing. She and Finnick begin to weave objects with big sharp blades of grass while Katniss hunts for water and food.
When she returns, they have made a hut and bowls. Mags is deeply saddened when the first day of the games is over and the faces of tributes who have died are shown at night, suggesting she was close to some of the bloodbath fatalities.
When the spile is sent from the sponsors, she wonders what its use could be. Katniss asks if she can fish with it, but she could not, and is enlightened when they discover it gets water from trees. She and Peeta are not alarmed by the twelve bells rung during the night as they were asleep when the event occurred.
During the interviews in the film adaptation, she wore a sea blue dress which touched the floor. The top half of it was a lighter blue and had sparkles on it while the bottom half was a duller and darker blue, much like Finnick's.
Mags joined hands with the other tributes after the final interview, displaying unity among the districts. Mags died on the second day of the Quarter Quell. When the acid fog was emitted, Finnick carried her while she was sleeping.
When the fog damaged Peeta's legs and rendered him unable to walk, Katniss carried Mags as she was unable to help Peeta, but Katniss was also affected by the fog, and Finnick was unable to carry both Peeta and Mags.
Realizing that they would be killed by the fog if they could not move faster, Mags kissed Finnick and courageously sacrificed herself by walking straight into the fog so Finnick, Katniss, and Peeta could live. Katniss described Mags as "falling to the ground in a horrible dance" when she was dying and Katniss honored Mags for her bravery. Finnick spent several hours of the night grieving for her.
Finnick did not even talk about Mags' death for the whole night. When Johanna Mason states that Mags was half of Finnick's family because she was his mentor, Katniss feels great remorse. Later, it is discovered that Mags was part of an even bigger alliance including at least 12 tributes that was set on keeping Peeta and Katniss alive. In the film, Mags dies in much the same manner, although Finnick at first doesn't realize what she's doing and tries frantically to call her back, staring after her in grief as her cannon sounds.
She placed 15th. Mags was noted by Haymitch to be a wonderful lady and showed herself to be kind, friendly, selfless, and very brave, as well as pragmatic. She volunteered to save Annie, clearly knowing she was not going to survive, and willingly walked to her death to allow Finnick, Katniss, and Peeta to escape the poison fog in the arena without being burdened by her, sacrificing herself without hesitation to protect them so that they would survive and go on to help the rebellion.
