[Voice Testing] [Trying to find a place for bookverse Mockingjay.]
[There is about five minutes of hard, cold staring. The young woman is leaning forward, hands on knees, scars old and new stretching over her face, her neck and her hands. Hands that look like they had bad burns, that skin was grafted back on. Yet that face still has a frigid beauty to it - like the woods in winter, or a bare mountain top crusted with snow.]

I'm Katniss Everdeen. I'm eighteen years old. I lived in District 12 until the war. I have no idea why I'm here, but if this is the revenge of District 13 or the Capital for what I've done, then you tell them ... you tell them ...
[Something burns in her eyes, something bright and hard and painful.]
They can't hurt me anymore. They've taken everything. Everything. [Her eyes waver, and go to her hands.] I don't care where they send me. It can't be any worse than where I've been.
