Lepidus Malmsey
Brandy is the female tribute from District 10. Arachne is her mentor. Brandy doesn’t survive to the start of the games, as she slits Arachne’s throat when Arachne taunts her with food and Peacekeepers shoot her. To send a message that such behavior won’t be tolerated from the districts, Dr. Gaul arranges for Brandy’s body to hang from a crane mounted to a truck and parades her body as part of Arachne’s funeral procession.

“Did you think so? I found it excessive and in poor taste,” said Dean Highbottom. Taken by surprise, Coriolanus let out a short laugh before he recovered and tried to look shocked. The dean dropped his gaze to Coriolanus’s blue rosebud. “It’s amazing, how little things change. After all the killing. After all the agonized promises to remember the cost. After all of that, I can’t distinguish the bud from the blossom.”
