### Appears in

Bleeding Hearts

**Maisy** is a District 9 tribute in the 125th Hunger Games, as portrayed in Hunger Games: Bleeding Hearts. Despite surviving until the Feast, not much is known about Maisy's personal life or personality. She is the only tribute in Bleeding Hearts to survive until the Feast without narrating a single section of the story.

### Pre-Games

Maisy is first seen on the roof of the Training Center after the second day of Training, making her one of the last tributes to be introduced in Bleeding Hearts. On the roof, she talks with Carlo, Persephone, Lacie, and Soren about the beauty and luxury of the Capitol. Maisy is quiet, not speaking as much as Carlo or Seffie.

The next day at Training, Soren observes Maisy's allies as they practice throwing axes. Maisy is allied with her District partner, Greta, along with Kala and Jordan from District 7 and Rose from District 8. However, only Maisy's four allies are present; Soren notes that he remembers Maisy training with them previously. Because Maisy is not present, she is only seen one time in Bleeding Hearts (on the roof) prior to entering the Arena.

When the Training Scores are released, Maisy scores a 6, which is a lower score than all of her allies. Maisy's score puts her on-par with Della, Nia, and Magdalena.

### The Games

#### The Bloodbath

Maisy is one of the few tributes to not participate in the Bloodbath. Instead, she hides nearby with Kala while Jordan, Rose, and Greta scavenge for supplies. This strategy is to avoid any tributes in the alliance from being killed, which is successful.

#### In the Arena

Maisy is not seen again until Day 3, when the first official Arena Event occurs as Hydra Vines fill a quarter of the Arena. Maisy and her allies are trapped in the quarter of the Arena and are chased closely by the vines. Maisy manages to escape the vines, but Jordan trips and is swallowed by the mass of vines following the tributes.

After escaping from the Hydra Vines, Maisy camps on the Cornucopia island with Greta, Kala, and Rose. Greta notes that the group slept through the whole night due to their exhaustion following the Hydra Vine incident. The group hopes to find supplies at the Cornucopia, as they lost some of their supplies to the vines, but there is nothing left on the island for them to salvage. Greta spots Kala's District partner Rowan in the trees, but he doesn't attack the group; this may have been because of Kala's presence on the island.

On Day 5, Maisy and her allies are forced to flee the Cornucopia island after they are attacked by Ada. Ada throws a knife at Maisy, attempting to kill her, but Maisy manages to raise a nearby shield and deflect the blade. The girls all escape unharmed.

On Day 6, the girls camp in a new part of the Arena. However, they smell smoke and are forced to run when they are caught in Glutton Flames. Due to the speed of the flames, the girls are only able to flee with one backpack. In the end, the girls all escape with minimal burns, but they have almost no food.

The girls are forced to attack Orion and Murray for their supplies. Maisy and Kala help tackle Murray to the ground while Greta stabs him to death; Orion manages to flee by the mercy of Rose. To their frustration, Murray's bag has only a small amount of food in it.

Greta's lack of food and other supplies begins to affect her, and she begins to lose her sanity. As Maisy's alliance attempts to divide Murray's supplies evenly, Greta argues at every turn, causing Kala to erupt at her and berate her for her behavior. During this fight, Rose notes that Maisy is non-confrontational, staring off into the distance as her allies fight. That night, Greta finally enters a state of insanity, grabbing Murray's knife and stabbing Kala to death in her sleep. After being awoken by Kala's screams, **Maisy** and Rose both flee with all of their alliance's remaining supplies.

Maisy is not seen again until the Feast. Prior to the Feast, the remaining tributes' odds are shown, and Maisy's odds of winning the Games are 1:19. Out of the fourteen tributes remaining, Maisy is only more likely to win than Persephone, making her one of the weakest remaining competitors.

#### The Feast

At the Feast, Maisy is one of the last tributes to arrive. She arrives with Rose, and the two girls quickly grab supplies. After they're done, Dalia watches as the two girls pour gasoline over the pile of supplies and lighting it on fire. While Maisy participates, it appears to be Rose's idea. Because of the girls' scheme, Jomilee, Tanner, and Greta are unable to salvage any supplies from the Feast.

#### Post-Feast

While it is not shown, it is assumed that Maisy separated from Rose soon after the Feast. On the twelfth day of the Games, a tidal wave hits the Arena, killing Maisy. Her death is not shown, but it is confirmed when Greta sees her face in the sky. Maisy places 9th out of the 36 tributes.

### Post-Death

After Maisy's death, she is barely mentioned again, as she had no lasting relationships with any major characters in Bleeding Hearts despite surviving 12 days in the Arena. She is the highest-placing tribute to not have any narration in Bleeding Hearts; the next-highest placing tribute with no narration was Murray, who placed 18th. She is also the highest-placing tribute to not have her death explicitly shown in Bleeding Hearts; the next-highest tribute with this distinction was Rowan, who placed 21st. However, Rowan's death was shown after the Games in a recap, as was Jordan's, the next-highest, making the actual next-highest tribute Zea, who placed 25th.
