The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes: Difference between revisions

* [[Morality Chain]]: Snow has three of them, and he loses them over the course of the books.

** His cousin Tigris, who always makes sure that Coriolanus is well-fed and dressed. {{spoiler|By the time of the main trilogy, they are estranged. It's implied that Tigris left Snow after seeing the monster he was becoming.}}

** Lucy Gray falls for Snow for real after he goes out of his way to help her survive, and win. Despite himself, he sympathizes and empathizes with her situation. {{spoiler|Then she finds out that he got Sejanus killed, and runs into the woods. Snow tries to shoot her in despair, while not knowing if he killed her as well. Afterward, he takes the first opportunity possible to return to the Capitol, and become the leader we all know in the present.}}

* [[What Happened To The Mouse?]]: In-universe, no one, not even Snow, finds out what happened to {{spoiler|Lucy Gray after Snow shoots her in the woods. She could have bled out, made it to the north to District 13, died making that journey, or returned to District 12 under a fake name. The uncertainty of her fate haunts Snow to the present; it's implied that Katniss resembling her so much, hair and all, made him ping her as a threat.}}

* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: Snow's main goal is to help Lucy Gray Baird survive the arena, and maybe even win to boost his own social standing. {{spoiler|He succeeds in both goals...and gets busted for helping her cheat to win. Cue Snow being sent to District 12, and dealing with the fallout of his actions in the third act.}}
