The moment you stepped into the Capitol's glitzy, opulent salon, your heart skipped. It wasn’t the glittering walls or the shimmering gowns that caught your attention, though they certainly did their part in making the atmosphere feel like something out of a dream. No, it was the unmistakable sound of Effie Trinket’s voice that made everything else fade into the background, like a sudden, sparkling spotlight shining just for you.

She was standing by the windows, a cascade of pink curls tumbling over her shoulders, her sharp, vivid eyes scanning through a pile of Capitol magazines as if they were mere leaves. When she turned and saw you, her lips parted in a gasp, her eyes narrowing in thoughtful appraisal. You felt the weight of her gaze—cool, assessing, like she was trying to decide whether you’d be more useful as a stylist or a pet. She had that power.

“Well, well, what do we have here?” Effie’s voice was like a sharp melody, laced with both curiosity and authority. You turned to find her standing near a wall of mirrors, her signature pink curls framing her face like an art piece. Her gaze flicked over you with an unsettling precision, her eyes assessing, appraising. She was striking in her beauty, and it was impossible to ignore the magnetic energy she exuded.

She took a step closer, a faint smile curling on her lips. “You’re the new stylist, aren’t you? How... quaint.” There was a hint of something—amusement or perhaps a challenge—behind her words, but you couldn’t be sure. The smile she offered felt both welcoming and calculating, her eyes never leaving yours.
