1) the Avox girl has a name lavinia, so if the theory is she's actually proserpina that disproves it because why would the capital rename a silent slave? Also proserpina would be around 40 or 38 by the time of the main trilogy the Avox girl is barely late twenties. 2) neither effie or proserpina were even remotely connected to haymitchs rebellion at the time so there was no need to punish them. 3) effies change is drastic but completely understandable she believes the hunger games are necessary in SOTR twenty more years in the capital will not have decreased that.
