Random Coveys Headcanons

Tam Amber loves chocolate chips cookies (ate them only once but has been dreaming of them ever since)

Lucy Gray LOVES milk. Like it's an obsession. She'd drink it every second of the day if she could

Maude Ivory self-taught herself how to braid hair (Lucy Gray actually taught her but she tells everyone she learnt by herself) and loves braiding all the Covey's hair

When Billy Taupe first left, Clerk Carmine would wait up late at night for him thinking he'd come back

Already mentioned this but Barb Azure totally throws rocks at Billy Taupe every time he shows up (Tam Amber would love to join but has to be mature)

After Lucy Gray disappearance the Covey wrote a song for her although they couldn't be able to perform at the Hob

Maude Ivory kept on writing songs after Lucy Gray disappeared

Do you have any covey headcannons? 🤭

oooooo i do actually! im sorry these are so short but theyre all i can think of off the top of my head!

barb azure and maude ivory had bets going to see who could get lucy gray to admit that she liked the capitol boy first (maude ivory won)

the covey go down to the shack near the meadow for holidays. for christmas, they collect logs and sing songs in front of the fire. for halloween, lucy gray makes face paint out of berries and draws on maude ivory and the younger kid's faces.

maude ivory, cc and tam amber constantly put buckets of water above the door and soak billy taupe when he comes through

[clerkcarmineclade]

Please do dance with me! I ain't got no one to do it with otherwise 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

okay fine… I will. but just this once!

[danisbrainrot]

Here's a small little request!

Lucy Gray x Reader (Established Relationship)

Lucy Gray is really scared of how you will get along with the rest of the Covey cause their all really protective of each other. Reader meets the Covey on a journey to the lake and gets along with the Covey. The younger Covey members treat the Reader like an older sibling (annoying them as much as possible) and it just warms Lucy's heart.

Just a cute little idea!

lucy gray x reader

I'll always be such a softie for the covey <333 (I'll never forgive you, coriolanus, for stealing lucy gray from them.)

you stare in shock, mouth agape as your girlfriend invites you to go to the lake with the covey. "what?" she asks nervously, before you engulf her in your arms, embracing her tightly.

"of course I want to go," you reply, feeling her relax against your body. "I never thought you'd ask, honestly," you admit.

she sighs, pulling away gently and shrugging, "of course, it's about time you visited my favourite place in the world," she smiles widely. this relationship was still new—it was delicate. you didn't want to scare each other off just yet by being too forward. so when lucy gray asked, your heart warmed as you realised she was finally comfortable enough to consider inviting you to the covey's hiding place.

she kisses you passionately, before hearing her cue to go back on stage. "bye, darlin'," she whispers, before running on stage—leaving you to stare at her in awe.

the next day, you trudged along the dirt path that led to the forest from the seam with a backpack over your shoulders. once you get to the meadow, you spot the small group and wave out to them. you ran up to kiss lucy gray on the cheek, before being introduced to her family. maude ivory pulled you into a tight hug, smiling widely and nudging her cousin's side. lucy gray rolls her eyes, brushing off her younger cousin. barb azure offers you a kind smile while tam amber nods softly. clerk carmine smiles brightly and hugs you as well.

all six of you hike to the lake, chatting along the way. they were practically grilling you, "what do you do?" or "what did you think of last night's performance?" causing you to feel flustered. you answer honestly, occasionally looking for help from lucy gray, but other than that you were already getting along like a house on fire.

when you finally make it to the lake, everyone strips to their swimmers and runs to the pier. "I'll race ya!" maude ivory calls out, sprinting to the water as your eyes widen in shock. without hesitation, you chase after her—clerk carmine, wanting to feel included, not too far behind—and manage to jump off the pier before she could.

lucy gray's laughter echoed throughout the small area, as she watched you play with the younger children in the lake. she enjoyed watching you get along with her family, especially maude ivory. her younger cousin was an excellent test of character—and she'd taken an immediate liking to you.

as the day progresses, you become closer with the other members as well. tam amber and barb azure, while often quite soft spoken, found they could be comfortable around you and would engage in conversation eagerly.

at one point in the afternoon, you lock eyes with lucy gray, who intertwines her fingers with yours and rests her head on your shoulder. "well, they sure seem to like you," she teases.

"yeah. I'm glad you asked me out here today," you reply, kissing the top of her forehead.

"boy am I glad you came."

[zoloftsexdeath]

Thinking about the origin songs of all the surviving covey members. I can’t speak to color theory, and I haven’t read the books, but I do know some folk songs and recognized some names. Now I don’t stick to Childes ballads strictly when listening to these songs, but I will be listing the number for reference on all the names that have a childe’s ballad corresponding, just for ease of research.

Lucy Grey Baird

Lucy Grey is her own creature and her song is plain in the books. I think the difference between the book ballad of Lucy Gray and the one in the movie (the song she herself wrote about Billy Taupe) is fascinating, as the first one is more of a story-song traditional like, and the Ballad per the movie is so. Im shoving it in my mouth and eating it. Smarter people with more context than me can write better about it though so I’ll leave it at this. I personally think Rachael Ziegler killed it though, and her voice is high and clear, would love to hear her live so I could lay in the grass and kick my feet as I listen.

Barbara Azure Baird

Barb Azure canonically came from Barbara Allen/Barb’ry Allen [CB # ]traditionally a round sung about a woman whose lover dies of wanting her, and she dies of sorrow, and their graves lie entertwined with plants of rose and briar on each respective grave to form a true lover’s knot. My favorite version comes from Joan Baez. This is the only of the covey songs I’ve ever heard before doing this research, and I love it dearly.

Tam Amber [last name unknown]

Tam Amber from Tam Lin! Also known as Tamlaine, Tamlin, or Tam Lyne [Child Ballad #39]. An epic Scottish ballad, and a lovely round. As the story went he was a mortal kidnapped by faeries and has become their unwilling servant, protecting a forest in which he finds a beautiful young woman (usually named Janet or Margaret) whom he confronts for plucking roses. They doink about it, she gets pregnant, her father asks who got her with child, and she rushes back to Tam Lin and begs him to either get rid of the child he begot or marry hee, which in his current state he cannot do. He then devises a plan for Janet/Margaret to performs several tasks that will allow him to return to the land of the mortals, angering the faery queen but assuaging her enough that she makes good on her promise and reluctantly frees Tam Lin to marry his now beloved Janet and legitimize their child. Perhaps not the most traditional version, the one by Anaïs Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer makes me think yes, I can see Tam Amber’s parents falling in love to this song, singing it to him and the other covey children to put them to sleep.

Clerk Carmine Clade

From the ballad Clerk Colven [Child Ballad #42] about a real piece of work who tries to run off on his wife and sleep with a mermaid. The mermaid knows this though, and curses him to suffer a horrific headache until I think his head actually explodes. I don’t think it necessarily has any bearing on Clerk Carmine’s actual personality, but the combination of this song with the color carmine (a brilliant red extracted from the cochinil bug) leads me to believe he was either conceived, born, or his parents married while traveling in district 5. I can see this one being a favorite in district, where they know the danger of baiting the sea and possibly the danger of being a jackass to your wife as well. The location of D5 down in the southwest also leads me to believe it was one of the few places the Covey could have encountered the color as well, as often red 40 or other synthetics are used in mass production of vibrant reds and the use of cochinil based carmine would likely be a very “district” thing, used by native residents for painting or decoration of small items. It’s a strong name, and dangerous when it comes to taking a stand against what the capital represents. I’m surprised he was able to keep it. I reccomend this cover, dunno the singer really but the accent is heavy and his voice is true. I would listen with lyrics alongside though.

Maude Ivory Baird

The book tells us that Maude comes from the poem “Maude Clare” by Christina Rosetti, and Ivory from piano keys. I also like to think that she was partially named after Maud Karpeles, a British folk song collector who helped write down a lot of folk music.

Billy Taupe Clade

Likely from Billy Boy, ironic and fitting for its being about a man after a wife who can feed and care for him despite her being “too young to leave her mother” something Lucy Gray says about him wanting in the books (and seemingly not wanting much more). I don’t care much for this song (sorry), but this is an alright cover.

CC MOODBOARD

[sparklebear11]

Maude and CC

And Barb trying to make sure they don't go insane 💀-

[daddycassie]

guys

[katnissandpeetamellark]

The Covey would sing this song okay??? Okay. They know it. it’s canon in my brain

[jinglebellpeppre]

Mizzen would definitely be friends with Maude ivory and cc

He'd come over whenever coral is in work 🤭🤭🤭

half the time he doesn’t even knock when he comes over anymore, they just walk out of their rooms to find him sitting on the couch or raiding their pantry or something 😭

mizzen, sitting on the couch watching tv and devouring an entire bag of cheetos: “u guys take so long to wake up jeez 😒”

cc: “how did u get in, the door was locked ō-ō”

[allisluv]

(knocks)

I'm a Christmas carol! Give me covey headcannons and I'll sing for u! 😌

barb azure loves to knit and she makes everyone matching sweaters for christmas with their initials on it -- think of the weasley's in harry potter!!

lucy gray teaches maude ivory how to write songs and pre-prepares the boys not to laugh because, in all honesty, it sounds like a nursery rhyme but she doesn't want to tear her confidence down.

cc caught tam amber smoking a joint and threatened to tell unless he let him have a drag. they both ended up high out of their mind in the middle of a field somewhere

maude ivory used to be terrified of the water because billy taupe pushed her into the lake wen she was a toddler in an effort to teach her how to swim. barb azure had to save her and lucy gray kicked his ass.

[ballads-and-bairds]

hello! i saw your favorite characters are the covey - do you have any headcanons for them?

I do, thank you for asking. Mainly mine are about the fates of the remaining members after Lucy Gray's disappearance. I think even though they likely struggled, they still stuck together - at least up until the younger members grew up and moved out.

One of my favorite headcanons is that Tam Amber became the Goat Man, which helped feed the Covey after they were on their own. Since he lived more on the outskirts of 12, he may have actually had a better chance of surviving the bombing. My headcanon is that after the bombing, he fled up north with his herd of goats at age 87. He was always a loner and lost soul, so he disappeared from Panem as mysteriously as he entered.

For Barb Azure, she most likely ended up happy with her gal down the road. I like to think that she, her partner, and her partner's younger sister started a business in the Hob selling soup. Even after Barb and her partner both passed away, Barb's sister-in-law still continued to sell soup and became a familiar face in the Hob.

I don't have any specific hc's for Clerk Carmine, but I like the idea of him being the fiddler at Finnick and Annie's wedding. He most likely got a job down in the mines with Tam Amber when he came of age.

Not only do I believe Maude Ivory became the Everdeen grandmother, but a music teacher as well. Specifically, the one who led the assembly where Peeta first heard Katniss sing. In my opinion, she was a big part of Katniss and Prim's lives until her son's death, at which point she died of grief shortly after at age 68.

I hope at least some of our questions are addressed in SOTR, at least where Maude Ivory is concerned.
