Johanna Mason is a female victor of an unidentified Hunger Games from District 7. She was reaped for the third Quarter Quell. She was one of the youngest tributes in the Quarter Quell. She is the last living victor of District 7 at the end of the Hunger Games series.In her first Hunger Games, Johanna pretends to be a weakling, feigning hunger and fatigue when in reality, she is sly and cunning, described by Katniss as having a wicked ability to murder. Johanna is proficient with an axe, as she comes from District 7, where the main industry is lumber. It is hinted in Catching Fire that all of Johanna's loved ones have been killed by President Snow and the Capitol after her Games, as she tells Katniss that there is no one left she loves . This is then confirmed by Finnick Odair.Johanna first meets Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark before the opening ceremonies of the 75th Hunger Games. She unnerves Katniss in the elevator when she strips off her costume, wearing nothing but forest green slippers. Katniss is immediately turned off by this action, eyeing Peeta's reaction. He later explains to Katniss that Johanna did this to get a reaction since she and the other tributes obviously see Katniss as being the most pure. During the opening ceremonies, Johanna wears a tree costume, and she complains that the tributes from District 7 have been wearing tree costumes for 40 years thanks to their stylist.During Johanna's interview with Caesar Flickerman, she asks if something could be done about the victors going back into the arena, since surely the Gamemakers never anticipated such attachment forming between the victors and the Capitol. Johanna holds hands with the other victors on the night of the interviews as a sign of rebellion.In the arena, she brings Beetee and Wiress to Katniss following Haymitch's request. She and Katniss take part in Beetee's plan to electrocute the remaining victors by taking Beetee's wire as instructed. Later, she cut the tracker out of Katniss' arm so that the Capitol couldn't find her. She also knocked Katniss out with a metal cylinder to trick Enobaria and Brutus into thinking Katniss was dead. This later lead Katniss to believe Johanna was trying to kill her.After the Arena was destroyed from the inside by Katniss' bow and Beetee's electric wire, Finnick Odair, Beetee and Katniss were rescued by District 13 and the Rebels. Johanna and Peeta were captured by the Capitol along with Enobaria.Johanna is picked up by the Capitol at the end of the 75th Hunger Games, and is held captive and tortured. She was soaked in water and then tortured with electroshocks while imprisoned. Eventually, along with Annie Cresta and Peeta Mellark, she is saved on a mission to the Capitol led by the rebels, and is taken back to District 13. Johanna is taken to receive medical attention for both the physical and mental wounds that were inflicted on her. When Katniss sees Johanna, she notes that she looks ill, bruised, covered in scabs and has had her hair shaven. This is because unlike Annie, who was only taken hostage as a weapon to use against Finnick, Johanna knew information about Katniss in the rebellion. Johanna awakens and finds Katniss in a coma in her room. Johanna takes some morphling from Katniss' supply since the doctors at the hospital cut her supply off. When she awakens, the two talk about her role as the mockingjay. Johanna tells her that the Capitol fears Katniss and explains why she hates her. Gale enters the room, and Johanna leaves so the two can be alone. In District 13, Johanna is trained as a soldier so she can fight in the rebellion alongside Katniss. The two suffer and bond together in training and later become roommates since they both need help. Johanna meets Katniss, Gale, Beetee, Delly, Annie, Finnick, and eventually Peeta at lunch. Johanna tells Peeta to sit next to her and announces to the group that the two are familiar with each other's screams since they were tortured together in the Capitol. When Johanna undergoes the test to see if she is ready to become a part of an official rebel squad, they flood the streets and due to her fear of water (caused by her torture) she goes into shock and is deemed unfit to fight. After this, Katniss remembers her tendency to not bathe since she arrived at District 13 and attributes it to her fear of water caused by the torture. Katniss gathers pine needles for her to take with her so she can think of home. Johanna is comforted by this and just before Katniss leaves, Johanna makes her promise to kill President Snow for her, a promise which Katniss does not fulfill.Before President Snow's death, President Coin gathers all seven remaining victors that survived and asks if they would like a final Hunger Games, but with the children of the most powerful people in the Capitol. Peeta, Annie, and Beetee vote no, but Enobaria, Haymitch, Katniss and Johanna vote yes. Johanna watches Katniss about to kill President Snow, but instead, kills Coin. It is assumed Johanna returned to her home in District 7.
