The Hunger Games are followed by a large TV audience, and impressing that audience is crucial because being a favorite means that those watching will send a competitor essential food and medicine. Katniss' stylist, Cinna, is inspired by District 12's coal mining industry and designs Katniss and her friend Peeta costumes that catch on fire for the Games Opening Ceremony. The duo amaze the audience with the outfits and Katniss becomes known as the Girl on Fire, a name that becomes an important part of her public persona in the books ahead.
