OOO I really like that interpretation!!

And you're right! I did make her expression different on purpose!

My reasoning was that Haymitch's memory of her would have been when he was still a child and saw her as an equal partner going through the same trauma as him- so she looks more determined and ready

Unlike all the others who he would remember as children he was meant to protect as an adult and failed

Also I was so surprised you found her so quickly (but I probably shouldn't have been in hindsight lol)

Family Portrait

Haymitch is sitting sullenly in an armchair, leaning forward on his knees. Katniss and Peeta, both looking off and equally upset, are sitting to either side of him. Katniss is up on the left arm of the chair and Peeta's on the floor to the right of it.
Behind them are the despairing faces of all the tributes that Haymitch mentored before them. They're all in their reaping clothes and between the ages of 12 and 18. And, unlike Katniss and Peeta, they're all looking at Haymitch

The only family he has.
