Hey Hey Hey Lover!!!

DID YOU GUYS KNOW THAT XANTHOUS IS A COLOR???

DID YOU GUYS KNOW THAT HE IS THE ONLY CHARACTER TO BE ADDRESSED WITH HIS MIDDLE NAME(outside The Covey ofc)

I don’t remember if this was in the book or not so I’ll just say it’s headcanon

There were multiple bands of covey(bairds, clades, and so on), many of them traveled to different locations, it’s possible that a very small(smaller than the district 12) covey band wound up in the capitol.

It’s said that she valued her freedom and music very deeply, things that non covey people can want, but how else would she know about the “roses are red, violets are blue” form of rhyming??as its origins lay in old English, the kind that the covey sing all the time. In fact, the only other people that references this rhyme is the covey and I believe that it’s intentional.

Coriolanus is even described to have a good singing voice, Lucy Gray is not easy to impress when it comes to music.

Coriolanus had understood Lucy gray to be differing things over the course of the book but she was ultimately “his girl”, he believed that she liked the attention that came with being a performer(the peacekeepers overall treating her nicely after her Ballad) even though the most it gets her is basic respect and decency. A way to further his own prospects as a mentor. His manic pixie dream girl that he could control and that would always be there for him and only him.

However…

Lucy Gray had misunderstood Coriolanus to be a pure and noble person. He went above and beyond to ensure her survival when he didn’t even get confirmation that she felt the same way for him(until the kiss that is). That he didn’t just love her for her songs, he loved her for who she was as a person. Despite her admitting her troubled past, the social imbalance, and the so called trouble she caused him. “Pure as the driven snow” and all that.

If we really want to stretch it then perhaps she saw a performer in him, Snow’s financial situation is never explicitly stated to Lucy gray but I’m sure she would be able to tell that he had less than his peers, and that he was pretending to have wealth so that he wouldn’t loose his way of life. Just like she performed so as to not lose hers.
