Tigris is the cousin of Coriolanus Snow and an old acquaintance of Cressida and Plutarch Heavensbee who resides in the Capitol. She was a prized stylist in the earlier editions of the Hunger Games.

Tigris is a sympathetic, generous and hospitable individual overall, though this can be attributed to her poor upbringing during the dark days. She cares for others deeply, as she originally proposed the idea of Snow meeting Lucy Gray at the train station simply out of sympathy.
