Coriolanus's mother died in childbirth right after the rebels bombed the Capitol at the beginning of the war. She made Coriolanus feel safe and loved. To hold onto this feeling, Coriolanus keeps her rose-engraved and rose-scented powder compact to sniff when he wants to feel close to her.
His father was killed in combat, but this did not affect Corio nearly as much as the loss of his mother. Mrs. Snow died in childbirth when she was unable to leave the family apartment for the hospital. Corio had no choice but to watch his mother and infant sister died, and he never fully recovered from it.
However, when the stakes are as high as they are in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, it makes sense why this character would ultimately become the series' main villain. Snow follows a path the audience can't morally follow, and when he kills Highbottom with rat poison, it solidifies his turn to evil and path toward ...
He is motivated by the power he holds over his subjects in Panem, ruling with cunning, treachery, and vindictiveness. Even his appearance is spoiled by the blood that runs out of his mouth from the sores caused by poison he took to make himself appear innocent while poisoning others on his road to absolute power.
In The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes we meet a young woman named Tigris Snow, Coriolanus' cousin. Since she's a little bit older than him, she was Coriolanus' surrogate caretaker after they lost their respective parents in the war. They live with their grandmother.
The Life of Coriolanus Snow (UPDATED WITH NEW INFO): Hunger Games Explained
Why did Tigris betray Snow?
The young woman helped to raise the future President Snow and even worked with him initially, but Tigris didn't approve of the Hunger Games, and their relationship changed drastically after Snow was assigned to mentor a District 12 tribute in the 10th annual Hunger Games.
At one point, as the Games started to develop, Tigris became one of the stylists for the tributes of an unknown district. Over the years, Tigris began undergoing surgical enhancements that made her look more tiger-like.
At an unknown point in time years before the 74th Hunger Games, she was personally fired by Snow, the stated reason being due to her being too surgically enhanced.
Snow was 18 during the 10th Hunger Games, making him 8 when the first Hunger Games took place. This means that during the 74th Hunger Games, he was indeed 82 (74+8). So he died at 83 in "The Mockingjay," since that was during the 75th Hunger Games...
No, Lucy Gray has no relation to Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games. When the original novel for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes first came out, some fans suspected that Lucy might actually be Katniss' grandmother.
After reading the book and watching the film, it seems clear that Lucy Gray realizes Snow was responsible for the death of his friend Sejanus Plinth (Josh Andrés Rivera). If Snow could sell his best friend down the river for personal gain, it was only a matter of time until he did the same with her.
The bottom line is that we do not know exactly what happened to Lucy Gray Baird. The movie leaves her fate ambiguous, matching the ending of her fate in the book.
After this, he married 2 more people, one being from the Stone Family, and one being from the Willford Family. One of the kids he had from these people were Alma Coin, and Coraline Snow.
Jon's half-brother and sister — born of Rhaegar's original annulled marriage with Elia Martell — were all violently murdered in King's Landing by Lannister bannerman Gregor Cleagane (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson) during Tywin's seizure of the capital.
He married Julia Pompey but their marriage was loveless. It was suggested by many that he poisoned his wife because she tried to kill him and take their sons place.
Snow can't stand to see a young woman betray a young man's affection—his view of what happened 65 years ago. And so he takes out his old, festering wound on Katniss.
Unknown to most people, President Snow poisoned others but drank the same drink as them to cover up his tracks, resulting in perpetual blood sores in his mouth. The scent of these sores are covered up by the signature white roses he is always seen carrying.
On a similar note, in Mockingjay, we learn that President Snow has a granddaughter who would be of age to compete in the Hunger Games were she a resident of the Districts rather than the Capitol. In the film version of Catching Fire, we meet the girl herself (though we don't learn her name).
Described as sweet and vulnerable, in the book, it's suggested she sells her body to ensure the family keeps up appearances and stays fed. Tigris is seen again in "The Hunger Games" franchise as an ally to Katniss Everdeen, but much differently. After heavy modifications to her body over time, she resembles a tiger.
What Happened To Haymitch After He Won The Second Quarter Quell. President Snow wasn't too pleased with Haymitch and his actions involving the force field in the arena. As punishment for the stunt leading up to the win, Snow had Haymitch's mother, younger brother, and girlfriend killed.
Was anyone else thrown off by the supposed ages of Snow and Tigris in relation to Mockingjay? If Snow is 18 in BSS and Tigris is 21, then that would make Snow 82-84 during the original trilogy and Tigris around 86 during the events of Mockingjay.
What happens to Lucy Gray after The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes?
What happened to Lucy Gray in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes book is left ambiguous intentionally as, from that point, Snow returns to the military base rather than confirming her fate.
Tigris: Tigris is Snow's cousin, though they live together as kids and are as close as any brother and sister. They support each other through the war and afterward, often because they don't have anyone else to look after them.
As the Games started to develop over the years, implementing new rules and aspects of the games, she was eventually picked to become a stylist for the tributes for an unknown district. Katniss had remarked that she remembers Tigris from the earliest games she could remember.
