After Maysilee's death, the pin was passed down to her niece Madge Undersee, who eventually gave it to Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist of the main series. This connection ties Maysilee to the legacy of resistance against the Capitol
. In the upcoming film "The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping," actress Mckenna Grace has been cast to play Maysilee Donner. This prequel focuses on the events surrounding the 50th Hunger Games and the origins of Haymitch Abernathy's character
