Who Is Lamina in The Hunger Games?
Lamina (played by Irene Boehm) was the female tribute reaped from District 7 in the 10th Hunger Games. District 7 provides lumber and paper to the Capitol. Its citizens are also known to be skilled with axes, which explains Lamina’s skills with the weapon.
Lamina’s mentor for the Hunger Games was Pliny “Pup” Harrington. During the first mentor-tribute meeting, Lamina couldn’t stop crying, and so it appeared that she was one of the weaker tributes.
However, during the Games, we see that she also has a chance of winning just like the other stronger tributes. As mentioned earlier, she’s skilled with an ax, and she’s also a skilled climber. She was also able to survive the bloodbath by hiding.
Later on, she takes the first kill of the Games by killing Marcus, the tribute from District 2 who was left hanging near death after attempting to escape during the bombing at the arena.
Lamina's fellow tribute from District 7, Treech, left her to form an alliance with Coral and her team.
Some fans were rooting for her, but unfortunately, Lamina did not survive in the Games, as Lucy Gray Baird became the winner of the 10th Hunger Games.
