Lucy Gray Baird probably won’t appear in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, but that doesn’t mean she won’t be important to the story. This very first District 12 victor was introduced in Snow’s prequel story, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and her ultimate fate being left ambiguous has ignited hope that she will again reappear. However, this seems unlikely, given the timeframe and the way her character was left. Still, Lucy Gray’s story has massive implications for the remainder of The Hunger Games timeline, and her importance to the overarching story can’t be overstated.
