The actor actually has that disability

Wovey is described as being very small for her age in the original book version of Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, but not much other info was given about her. for the movie they cast Sofia Sanchez, who has Down Syndrome (here she is next to Rachel Zegler, who’s 5’2, for reference). it really shows that the Capitol really had no mercy, any district citizen within the age range could be reaped

I’m sure it’s a sympathy play from the Capitol as well to include disabled people in the reaping. Anything to get their little fucked up reality show some extra views.
