An Avox is someone who has done a crime (typically rebelling) and has been punished by having their tongues cut off so they can't speak and they have to serve the new Hunger Games tributes every year.

The Avox girl is the girl that Katniss and Gale see running in the forest when a hovercraft comes over and kills the boy and carries up the girl. The Avox girl saw katniss, looking desperate for help, and Katniss feels guilty for not helping her. Later on she sees the girl waiting on her on the train to the Capitol. She wants to say sorry without getting her in trouble for speaking (Avoxs are not allowed to speak)

Avox are Capitol servants who are captured and have their tongues cut so they can never speak. In The Hunger Games trilogy, Katniss meets two Avox that she has seen before they became Avox.

The Avox girl was named Lavinia, which is learned in Mockingjay. She was a red-headed girl Katniss saw running from the Capitol but didn't rescue.

Darius, a former Peacekeeper for District 12, also became an Avox after interferring with Gale's whipping in Catching Fire.

Avoxes are people who the Capitol believed have rebelled against them. If the 'rebels' are captured, the Capitol mutilates them by cutting off their tongues, rendering them unable to speak. They are then used as servants.

Examples of Avoxes mentioned:

Lavinia, Katniss' servant in the original book. She recognises her as the girl her and Gale didn't save from the Capitol the day they were out hunting.

Darius (a former district 12 peacekeeper, and friend of Katniss), also Katniss' servant, however he serves her in her stay for the 75th games.
