During dinner, Katniss sees one of the servants who has been assigned to their floor and believes she knows her. However, the girl cannot speak. What is an Avox? How does Katniss know this Avox?
An Avox is a person who has committed a crime, most commonly treason, and been tortured before having their tongue removed and being forced into servitude in the Capitol. Katniss meets a red-headed Avox during dinner their first night at the training center and immediately recognizes her, but does not place her until later.
