The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Summary

The Hunger Games have passed, and Katniss’s and Peeta’s lives have changed
substantially as they are now rich. Katniss returns home from the woods one day to
find President Snow waiting for her. He’s concerned that any more public defiance
of the Capitol by Katniss, like her and Peeta’s threat of suicide at the end of the
Hunger Games, could spark an uprising in the districts. She has to continue
pretending that she’s in love with Peeta, or they’ll hurt Gale, Katniss’s oldest
friend. Katniss tells Haymitch everything that happened, and she realizes that she’ll
never be able to stop pretending: She’ll have to marry Peeta.

Peeta and Katniss, meanwhile, have had a tense relationship since Peeta found out
that Katniss was only pretending to be in love with him during the Games. They
agree to be friends, however, as they embark on their Victory Tour of the districts.
Their first stop is District 11. It was the home district of Rue, the girl Katniss
befriended who was ultimately killed during the Games. An old man in the crowd
whistles out a signal that Katniss and Rue used, and everyone in the crowd puts up
a gesture of respect used in Katniss’s home district, District 12. Before she is
rushed away, Katniss sees a group of Peacekeepers execute the old man. In other
districts, Katniss can sense an undercurrent of repressed rage that suggests people
are ready to rebel. At the end of the tour, Peeta and Katniss plan for Peeta to
propose during a televised interview to try to appease the Capitol. They do it, but
President Snow indicates to Katniss that it’s not enough. Later, at a feast at
President Snow’s mansion, Katniss meets Plutarch Heavensbee, the new Head
Gamemaker. He shows her his watch, and when he rubs the face, a mockingjay
like the one on the pin she wears appears and quickly vanishes. After she returns
home, she learns there’s been an uprising in District 8.

Katniss goes to meet Gale in the woods and tells him everything that’s happened.
She wants to run away with their families, and Gale tells her he loves her. When
she mentions the uprising, however, he says he wants to stay and fight. Katniss
goes to tell Peeta, who agrees to run away, but then, in the town’s main square,
they find Gale being publicly whipped for hunting. As Gale recuperates, Katniss
realizes she loves him and decides not to run away.
Weeks later, Katniss goes back into the woods and is shocked to meet two women.
One holds out a cracker to Katniss with the image of her mockingjay in the center.
They explain they’re from District 8 and fled after the uprising. They’re on their
way to District 13, which was destroyed years earlier but which they believe is
home to a group of underground rebels. Back at home later, Katniss watches the
televised announcement about the Quarter Quell. Every twenty-five years, a
special Hunger Games occur, and this year is the seventy-fifth anniversary of the
Games. In the announcement, President Snow says the tributes will be selected
from among the past winners of the Games. Since Katniss is the only female
winner of District 12, it means she’s going back into the arena.

Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch begin training for the Games, and when the reaping,
or tribute selection, happens, Peeta volunteers to go in place of Haymitch. They
meet the other tributes, most of whom have known each other for years, which
makes the Games more awful since they still have to kill each other. Katniss
immediately dislikes Finnick Odair, the male tribute from District 4, and Johanna
Mason, the woman from District 7. She prefers Wiress and Beetee, the smart but
physically weak tributes from District 3, and Mags, the eighty-year-old woman
from District 4. The tributes are interviewed on television before they depart for
the arena, and President Snow makes Katniss wear a wedding dress. Cinna,
Katniss’s stylist, rigs it, and during the interview, it burns away leaving Katniss in
a mockingjay costume.

Finally the tributes are sent to the arena, a small tropical island, and the Games
begin. Right away Katniss comes face to face with Finnick. To her surprise, he
tells her they’re allies, and she notices a bracelet on his wrist that belonged to
Haymitch. Katniss, Peeta, Finnick, and Mags form a group and head into the jungle
where Katniss discovers that an electrical force field blocks part of the island and
creates a dome over them. A dense fog descends on them and turns out to be a
toxic nerve agent. They run from it, but their limbs begin to seize up. Finnick can
carry only Peeta or Mags, and so Mags sacrifices herself by running into the fog.
The remaining three barely make it to the beach.

Eventually they see Johanna Mason approaching with Wiress and Beetee. Johanna
tells Katniss she saved them for her. Katniss realizes that the island is laid out like
a clock face, with each section containing a different attack triggered at a set time,
and she remembers Plutarch Heavensbee talking about his watch as he showed her
the mockingjay. She realizes he was trying to tip her off about the arena. They all
head to the Cornucopia, which contains weapons, and while they’re loading up a
group of tributes sneaks up. One slits Wiress’s throat before Katniss kills him.
Finnick saves Peeta in the fight.

The group heads back into the jungle, and when Peeta wants to go collect water,
Johanna won’t let him. Katniss realizes that the other tributes are trying to keep
Peeta alive, but she doesn’t know why. Just then Katniss hears what sounds like
her little sister screaming and rushes off to find it. It’s only a jabberjay, a bird the
Capitol created that can mimic any sound it hears. Finnick hears one, too, that
sounds like a woman named “Annie.” Katniss later learns that Annie is a victor
from District 4 who went half-crazy surviving her Games. Finnick is in love with
her. That night, Peeta tells Katniss she has to survive for the sake of her family,
and he and Katniss spend the night together holding each other and kissing. The
next morning, Beetee has a plan. At twelve noon and midnight each day, lightning
strikes a tree on the island. By running a highly conductive wire Beetee has from
the tree to the ocean, they can electrocute a large area of water and whatever sand
is wet. He thinks the other remaining tributes would move to the beach if they left.
If so, those tributes would be electrocuted.

They hike to the tree and wrap the wire around it, and Katniss and Johanna begin
carrying it back to the beach. Suddenly the wire is cut, and before Katniss knows
what’s happening, Johanna hits her in the head and cuts something out of her arm.
Katniss, still dizzy, thinks they’re trying to kill her and Peeta and heads back to the
tree. She sees Beetee with the same arm wound holding a knife with the wire
wrapped around it and realizes what he was trying to do. She wraps the wire
around one of her arrows and fires it through a small, visible gap in the force field
just as lightning strikes. The shock causes the force field to go down and knocks
Katniss unconscious. She wakes to find a hovercraft retrieving her. On board are
Haymitch, Finnick, and Plutarch Heavensbee, and they explain everything.
Plutarch has for years been part of a secret rebel group, and many of the tributes
were involved in a plot to bring down the force field around the island so they
could escape. What they cut out of her arm was a tracking device. Several of the
districts are now in a full-scale revolt, and their hovercraft is headed to District 13.

Lastly, they tell Katniss they kept Peeta alive in the arena only because they knew
she wouldn’t help them if he died. They need her because she’s the mockingjay,
the symbol of the rebellion. But Peeta and Johanna couldn’t be rescued. They were
taken by the Capitol. Katniss attacks Haymitch, feeling he used her and Peeta.
She’s sedated, and when she comes to, Gale is there. He explains the Capitol
started dropping bombs after the Games. He got her family out safely, but District
12 is gone.

Katniss Everdeen, known as "the girl on fire", is the main protagonist in the
Hunger Games. She is 16 years old at the beginning of the first book and is quiet,
independent, and fierce. She has long dark hair (her's usually tied up in a braid),
olive skin, and gray eyes, which are given as a characteristic of residents of the
coal mining region of District 12 known as "the Seam".[1] She is named for an
aquatic plant with edible underwater tubers, and lives with her mother and younger
sister, Primrose Everdeen (nicknamed "Prim"). Her father's death in a mining
accident several years ago left her mother deeply depressed, forcing Katniss to
become the mother figure and to use the hunting skills taught by her father to feed
the family. Her favorite color is green, because of her familiarity with the forest.
When Prim is "reaped" (chosen by lottery) as a "tribute" who must fight twenty-
three other tributes to the death in the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss volunteers to
take her place. She survives the game along with her co-tribute Peeta Mellark, who
is in love with her. When the Gamemakers renege on a promise to let two
surviving tributes from the same district live, she defies and embarrasses the
government by threatening a double suicide with Peeta, becoming the personal
enemy of Panem's leader, President Coriolanus Snow.
In the second installment Catching Fire, she is forced to fight in the next year's
Hunger Games, an especially brutal edition known as the Quarter Quell which
occurs every 25 years. She destroys the force field containing the Games arena and
is rescued along with a few surviving tributes by members of an underground
rebellion organized by the supposedly destroyed District 13. In the third
installment, she becomes the Mockingjay, an inspirational symbol of a second civil
war against the Capitol. Despite the intent of her limited role as a propagandist, she
is drawn into combat by her obsession to kill Snow. As the war progresses, she
comes to realize the rebel leader, President Alma Coin, is no less ruthless and
power-driven than Snow. Katniss learns that Coin considers her expendable, staged
a supposed Capitol atrocity which kills Prim, and after the war, calls for a final
Hunger Games using the children of the Capitol war criminals. When finally given
the chance to execute Snow, Katniss kills Coin instead. She is deemed not mentally
responsible and returns to District 12, suffering trauma and suicidal depression.
Peeta's return draws her out of the depression, and she finally realizes she is in love
with him. She marries him, but it is fifteen years until she is ready to have children.
When she does finally have children they are a girl and a boy.]
Peeta Mellark is the male tribute from District 12 in both the 74th and 75th
Hunger Games. He is the same age as Katniss, with fair skin, blond hair, and blue
eyes, characteristic of the town residents of District 12, whose middle-class
merchants are slightly more well-to-do than those of the Seam. Peeta is the baker's
son and lives with 2 older brothers, a quiet father, and a strict disciplinarian
mother. Peeta's favorite color is orange, like the sunset, not like Effie's hair. His
skills include physical strength, personal charm and charisma, public speaking,
baking, and painting. He is also known for his kindness and generosity. He is
highly intelligent and is always thoughtful, balancing Katniss' impulsiveness. Peeta
has been in love with Katniss ever since he first saw her during elementary school
and declares his love for her during the pre-Games interview. Katniss believes this
is a ploy to gain the support of sponsors to help them survive the Games. When
they are young, Peeta saves Katniss and her family from starving to death by
giving her bread, which he had accidentally burnt and his mother had beaten him
for. Since then, he is known as the "boy with the bread" to Katniss. During the first
game, he carefully comes up with a strategy to protect Katniss. As part of the
strategy, he confesses his love for Katniss on TV in order to make her look
desirable so she would have sponsors. Also, he decides to team up with the Careers
and misleads them about Katniss. However, when the careers find this out, Peeta
fights with them to save Katniss and is severely wounded.
In the Quarter Quell, he volunteers to replace Haymitch Abernathy as the male
tribute from District 12, so that he can protect Katniss in the arena. The only time
Katniss can sleep without nightmares relating back to the Games is when she is
being held in Peeta's arms.
Peeta is captured by the Capitol at the end of the Quarter Quell and submitted to
'hijacking', a process of torture and brainwashing which gives him a fear of Katniss
and effectively turns him into an assassination weapon against her. During the civil
war, he is rescued and eventually rehabilitated by the rebels. After the Capitol is
defeated, he returns to District 12 with Katniss and marries her. Fifteen years after
the war, they have two children.
Gale Hawthorne[edit]
Gale Hawthorne is a Seam resident boy who is two years older than Katniss and
shares her hunting skill, dark hair, olive skin, and gray eyes. Through hunting, they
have become best friends. Muscular and handsome, Gale has caught the attention
of several girls in District 12. Gale lives with his mother Hazelle and his three
younger siblings (Rory, Vick, and Posy) after his father's death in the same mining
accident that killed Katniss' father. Being from the Seam, Gale shares a slight
resemblance to Katniss. This allows the people of the Seam to cover for his close
relationship with Katniss by saying they are cousins to hide the fact that the "star-
crossed lovers" storyline with Peeta was staged, as it is presumed her closeness
with someone as good looking as Gale would draw suspicion. Though their
portrayal as cousins effectively satisfies the press from the Capitol, it makes both
Katniss and Gale very uncomfortable on several occasions.
In the second book, Catching Fire, Katniss returns to District 12, but their
relationship cannot continue as it was, since Katniss and Peeta must play the part
of lovers due to threats from the Capitol. Gale confesses his love for Katniss after
she asks him to run away with her. Soon afterward, he is brutally whipped in
public for hunting on Capitol land. Katniss rescues him, getting whipped on the left
cheek in doing so, and then takes care of him and they share a kiss. He and Katniss
prepare to fight as it becomes clear that a rebellion is about to begin. However,
Katniss, along with Peeta, is selected for the Third Quarter Quell and must leave
District 12 to return to the Games. Once again, Gale is forced to say goodbye to
Katniss as she prepares for a fight to the death. The book ends with Katniss waking
up to see Gale's face. She is extremely confused, having been in the Hunger
Games, and Gale tells her District 12 is no more.
In Mockingjay, Gale fights in the rebellion in an epic war. When District 12 was
destroyed, Gale led approximately 10% of the population to safety. The survivors
are forced to move to what is left of District 13. Once the people of District 13 are
aware of Gale's heroism, they reward him with a higher ranking and a
communicuff (which is later taken from him as punishment for helping Katniss).
Towards the end of the book, his relationship with Katniss deteriorates because he
feels responsible for the death of Prim, Katniss's sister (caused by a bomb he had
constructed). He mentions that he would always remind Katniss of Prim's death,
which Katniss silently agrees with. Afterwards, Gale decides to remain in District
2. Katniss hints of him having a girlfriend in District 2 and having moved on. It is
possible that Gale and Katniss reconciled off-screen in the epilogue.
Haymitch Abernathy[edit]
Haymitch Abernathy is a 'paunchy, alcohol-loving, handsome middle-aged man'
who won the 50th Hunger Games (the Second Quarter Quell) 24 years before the
events of the first book.[2] He comes from The Seam and is described as having
similar physical characteristics to Katniss and Gale: dark hair and olive skin; in the
Hunger Games movies, he is portrayed with blond straight hair and blue eyes.
When he was 16, Haymitch was reaped for the Second Quarter Quell, wherein
four, instead of the normal amount of two tributes from each district participated.
He became an ally to a girl named Maysilee Donner, the original owner of
Katniss's symbolic mockingjay pin, but was later forced to watch her die. During
the Games, he discovered a cliff at the edge of the Arena that concealed a force
field, which would ricochet anything thrown in its direction. During the final
moments of the Games, a severely wounded Haymitch positioned himself by the
edge of the force field to face his final opponent, a female tribute from District 1.
Since she was a career tribute and stronger than Haymitch, she was favored to win
the encounter. However, Haymitch's strategy was to wait for his opponent to fling
her weapon at him, then he would duck and the force field would hurl it back at
her. His plan was successful, leaving Haymitch the victor. Within two weeks of his
victory, Haymitch's mother, younger brother, and girlfriend were all killed by
President Snow as punishment for Haymitch using the force field to his advantage.
Haymitch became an example of what happens to anyone who would defy the
Capitol.
Following his victory, Haymitch became an alcoholic and has spent almost all of
the next 24 years intoxicated. As the only surviving victor from District 12 (one of
only two in the history of the Games), Haymitch has been forced to mentor all of
its tributes, which consumed him with guilt by being obligated to participate in the
Games that he hated. He stumbled through drunken fatalism and bemused curiosity
all while teaching his new pupils his tricks. He dealt with these feelings with
alcohol and by openly flouting the dignity of the games. He treats Peeta and
Katniss with contempt, and initially is sarcastic, expending no effort to help them.
However, when Katniss confronts him, he is stirred from his stupor and emerges as
the pair's greatest advocate, impressed by her determination and Peeta's patience.
Haymitch shows himself to be highly canny as he guides his protégés in a cleverly
designed, highly unorthodox strategy aimed at ensuring the survival of both
tributes.
In the book Catching Fire, the liquor supply in District 12 runs out. As a result,
Haymitch suffers from alcohol withdrawal. It is left to Katniss and Peeta to coax
him back to health and get him more liquor. After this incident, Katniss begins to
develop a true affection and respect for him. When Katniss discovers Haymitch
and his allies from District 13 and the Capitol failed to save Peeta from the arena
as they did her, she claws him in the face. In Mockingjay, Haymitch is forced to go
through detox in District 13, as they do not permit the consumption of alcohol.
During the voting to decide whether the final Hunger Games will use the Capitol
children, Haymitch votes yes, understanding Katniss's decision to make President
Coin think she is on her side. After this, he continues to serve as a mentor to
Katniss and Peeta. However, he never truly repairs his relationship with either of
them and resumes his drinking after the war ends. Haymitch and Katniss, despite
nearly always working towards the same goals, are usually hostile towards each
other because they have similarly prickly personalities. Also, Katniss and Peeta
both resent Haymitch for keeping information from both of them, sometimes at the
request of the other.
Primrose Everdeen[edit]
Primrose ("Prim") Everdeen is Katniss's younger sister. She has an ugly cat
named Buttercup. She is 12 years old in The Hunger Games and has blonde hair
and blue eyes. Prim is kind, gentle, and sweet. She is a skilled healer, having been
taught by her mother. In Mockingjay, Prim is chosen by District 13 to be trained as
a doctor. The events of Catching Fire and Mockingjay force Prim to become more
solemn and mature beyond her 13 years. Katniss states that Prim is "the only
person I'm certain I love".
At the reaping for the 74th Hunger Games, Prim is chosen by lottery as the female
"representative" of District 12. Katniss volunteers to take her place. Before Katniss
leaves for the Capitol, Prim makes her promise to try hard to win the Games, and
Katniss agrees to try and win. This promise guides many of Katniss's actions in the
game, and Katniss's sacrifice for Prim makes her a popular symbol in the Capitol,
prompting Johanna to note that the Capitol cannot afford to threaten Prim to get to
Katniss because of the potential outcry. In Mockingjay, rebel President Alma Coin
sends Prim as a casualty nurse into the final battle against the Capitol. Prim is
killed in a bombing, sending Katniss into a deep depression and resulting in her
losing her voice momentarily. President Snow later tells Katniss the rebels did the
bombing and made it look like the work of the Capitol, and timed a second
explosion to kill the medical corps assisting survivors of the first. This leads
Katniss to kill Coin instead of Snow.
Coriolanus Snow[edit]
President Coriolanus Snow is the main antagonist of the series,
the autocratic ruler of the Capitol and all of Panem. Though seemingly laid-back,
his demeanor hides a sadistic and psychopathic mind.[3] He initially appears in The
Hunger Games giving the official welcome at the opening of the Games, but he
does not speak to Katniss face-to-face until Catching Fire when he pays her a visit
at home and tells her he is angry that both she and Peeta were allowed to survive
the Hunger Games, as their act of defiance (preferring joint suicide to the prospect
of one killing the other) has ignited rebellion in several of the Districts. She is too
prominent to kill, but he threatens her family and Gale unless she proves to the
Districts that her act of saving Peeta was merely that of a love-crazed teenager and
was not related to any desire to defy the Capitol.[4] Later, Snow indicates to her that
she failed in this, meaning that some or all of his threats will come true. President
Snow is described as having very puffy lips, which are most likely the result of an
appearance-altering operation that is very popular in the Capitol. Katniss describes
him as exuding a smell of blood and roses.[5]
In Mockingjay, it is revealed that the smell of blood is due to oral sores he incurred
from one of the poisons that he used to kill people in his megalomaniacal efforts to
control Panem. He drank the poison in order to allay suspicions, then took the
antidote, but resulted in bloody sores in his mouth. He also smells strongly of
genetically enhanced roses, as he always wears a white rose in his lapel to cover
the scent of blood. The strong smell invariably makes Katniss gag. He is said to
have prostituted winning tributes, like Finnick Odair, forcing them to have sex
with wealthy Capitol citizens, under threat of killing their loved ones if they
refused. Snow claims he only kills for a purpose, and he promises Katniss he will
always tell her the truth. Whether these assertions are true or not is left up to
interpretation by Katniss. He dies at the end of Mockingjay, after Katniss shoots
President Coin instead of him at his own public execution, and he laughs
maniacally at the irony of said assassination. The rebels are unable to determine
whether the cause of death was by choking on his own blood from his untreated
mouth sores or because he was trampled by the mob in the panic following
President Coin's assassination.
Coriolanus "Coryo" Snow is the main character of The Ballad of Songbirds and
Snakes, which is set when he is aged 18. Having been orphaned during the war, he
lives with his grandmother and his cousin Tigris. His family was once rich but had
lost a lot of their wealth in the war, mainly due to their factory in District 13 being
destroyed. He is assigned to mentor the female tribute from District 12, Lucy Gray
Baird. In the leadup to the Hunger Games, they develop feelings for each other,
culminating in a goodbye kiss before she enters the arena. Before and during the
Hunger Games, the head gamemaker, Dr. Gaul, takes a personal interest in his
education and assigns him to write a number of essays. On the first night of the
Games, his friend Sejanus Plinth infiltrates the arena to administer funeral rites to a
tribute, and Dr. Gaul forces Coriolanus to enter the arena and bring him out. They
are attacked by a number of tributes, one of whom Coriolanus kills in self-defense.
Dr. Gaul reveals that this was to educate him about the violence humans were
capable of.
Lucy Gray wins the games, in part, due to illicit assistance she receives from
Snow: he helps her smuggle food into the arena, as well as a make-up compact
filled with rat poison, which she uses to kill two other tributes. He also introduces
her scent to the snake muttations, which he suspects will be deployed in the arena.
As punishment for their indiscretions, he and Sejanus are sent to District 12 to
serve as Peacekeepers. Coriolanus reunites with Lucy Gray and they begin a
relationship. The two of them get caught up in a rebel plot which Sejanus is part of,
and Coriolanus is forced to kill the Mayor's daughter, Mayfair Lipp, Lucy Gray's
former rival in love, so she does not report them to the authorities. Coriolanus
reports the plot to the Capitol, for which Sejanus is hanged. Certain that his part in
the scheme will be exposed, and with Mayor Lipp attempting to frame Lucy Gray
for the murder of his daughter, the two of them run away from District 12 together.
However, Lucy Gray realises Snow's part in the death of Sejanus, and - deciding he
cannot be trusted - leaves him. Coriolanus follows her, only to walk into a trap she
had laid for him. He returns to the place they parted, and hearing her singing
nearby, shoots a volley of bullets in all directions. She is not seen again after this,
although it is unclear whether she was killed by Snow, or she ran away. Snow
returns to District 12, and finds out he has been selected for officer training. He is
placed on a hovercraft, ostensibly bound for an officer training school, only to find
himself in the Capitol. Dr. Gaul says that she had arranged for his assignment as a
Peacekeeper, with the intent that it would be temporary and educational. He is
effectively adopted by Sejanus's father Strabo, who is unaware of the role he
played in Sejanus's death and pays for Coriolanus's university fees. While at
university, he interns as a gamemaker under Dr. Gaul.
A number of features of the Hunger Games shown in the trilogy are revealed to be
invented by Snow, either as a mentor or a gamemaker, namely the sponsoring of
and betting on tributes, the Victors' Village, the Games being compulsory viewing,
and payments for a victor's district. The Games themselves were revealed to have
been a co-creation of his father, Crassus Snow, and his best friend Casca
Highbottom. His liking of the smell of roses is also explained: his family grew
them on the roof of their house, and his mother used rose-scented cosmetic
powder. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes also sees Coriolanus begin the
practice of poisoning people: initially indirectly through Lucy Gray, but later
directly, when he poisons Casca Highbottom as revenge for mistreating him while
serving as dean of his school. Casca and Crassus fell out after developing the idea
of the Hunger Games. Casca transferred this grudge to Coriolanus.

 Bobbin is the District 8 male tribute in the 10th Hunger Games. His
assigned mentor is Juno Phipps. He was killed by Coriolanus Snow when Snow
was sent to retrieve Sejanus Plinth from the arena.
 Wovey is the District 8 female tribute in the 10th Hunger Games. She dies
from drinking a water bottle that Lucy Gray had poisoned. Her assigned mentor
is Hilarius Heavensbee.
 Panlo is the District 9 male tribute in the 10th Hunger Games. His assigned
mentor is Gaius Breen.
 Sheaf is the District 9 female tribute in the 10th Hunger Games. Her
assigned mentor is Androcles Anderson.
 Tanner is the District 10 male tribute in the 10th Hunger Games. He forms
an alliance with the District 4 tributes, only to be betrayed, and killed by Coral.
Before he was killed they worked together to kill Lamina. His assigned mentor
is Domitia Whimsiwick.
 Brandy is the District 10 female tribute in the 10th Hunger Games. She is
shot dead by peacekeepers after murdering her mentor, Arachne Crane.
 Reaper Ash is the District 11 male tribute in the 10th Hunger Games. He
killed a peacekeeper sometime before the reaping, and attacks Coriolanus on
his arrival in the Capitol. He behaves erratically during the Games, for instance
dragging all the corpses of tributes into a row, and making himself a cape from
the flag of Panem. His assigned mentor is Clemensia Dovecote.
 Dill is the District 11 female tribute in the 10th Hunger Games. She dies
early in the Games from a pre-existing disease. Her assigned mentor is Felix
Ravinstill.
 Jessup Diggs is the District 12 male tribute in the 10th Hunger Games. He
contracts rabies before the Games begins - it is later suggested this may have
been from a raccoon or rat bite. He initially forms an alliance with his district
 partner, Lucy Gray, only to develop rabies symptoms and start chasing her. He
falls to his death during the chase. His assigned mentor is Lysistrata Vickers.
 Lucy Gray Baird is the District 12 female tribute and victor of the 10th
Hunger Games. She was not born in District 12 but was a member of the
Covey, a group of travelling musicians. After the war, the Covey were forced to
settle down in districts. Before the reaping, Lucy Gray was in a relationship
with fellow Covey member Billy Taupe, who was also seeing the mayor's
daughter, Mayfair Lipp. Both girls found out about this, and Lucy Gray
believes that Mayfair arranged for her to be reaped. Coriolanus Snow is
assigned to be her mentor, and they develop feelings for each other. She charms
audiences with her charisma and singing ability and also has a talent for
charming snakes. Coriolanus provides her with a compact to collect rat poison
into the Games and familiarises the snake muttations with her smell so they will
not attack her. During the games, she poisons Wovey and Reaper and is able to
collect the snake muttations, using one to kill Treech. Due to the illicit
assistance she received in winning the Games, she receives very little publicity
afterwards. She is reunited with Coriolanus after he is assigned to District 12 as
a Peacekeeper. She is the writer of the song, 'The Hanging Tree'. After Mayfair
Lipp is killed by Coriolanus, the mayor becomes determined to arrest Lucy
Gray for her murder, so she and Coriolanus run away from District 12 together,
only for her to realise his role in the death of Sejanus Plinth. Deciding that he
cannot be trusted, she runs away and leaves a trap for him. Coriolanus shoots a
rifle in Lucy Gray's direction and she is not seen again afterwards, but her fate
is left uncertain. In The Hunger Games, she is stated to be dead, although not
mentioned by name.
74th Hunger Games[edit]

 Marvel is the District 1 male tribute in the 74th Hunger Games. Marvel was
a Career tribute and was very skilled at throwing spears. He scored a 9 in his
private session, a score considered low for a Career. Marvel played a strong
part in the initial bloodbath, killing off many of the 13 tributes that died in the
first 8 hours. He then took part in the hunt for Katniss during the Games, along
with the other career tributes and Peeta. When the careers were attacked by the
tracker jacker nest, he survived as the sole District 1 tribute. Marvel survived
through to the final eight tributes but was then shot in his neck by Katniss (or in
the film, in his chest), in self-defense, after he had fatally speared Rue, Katniss'
ally. The arrow to his neck caused Marvel to drown in his own blood, halving
the time of his suffering. He finished 8th overall.
 Glimmer is the District 1 female tribute in the 74th Hunger Games. She was
a career tribute. She chose to use bow and arrows as her weapons during the
bloodbath, but it is later revealed that she is incompetent at shooting. Glimmer
is later indirectly killed by Katniss after she drops a tracker jacker nest on the
career tributes along with the District 4 female tribute (book). After her death,
Katniss managed to steal her bow and arrows from her 'dismembered body'.
Katniss had to break several of her bloated fingers to retrieve the bow from her.
Glimmer finished 12th overall. Her death was described as extremely
disgusting. In the movie, she was seen flirting with Cato during the games but
Cato left her to die when she was attacked by tracker jackers.
 Cato is the District 2 male tribute in the 74th Hunger Games. He was the
leader of the Career pack and tall, good-looking, the second-largest/physically-
strongest tribute, being only slightly smaller than Thresh, the District 11 male
tribute. He was the only tribute in the 74th Hunger Games, aside from Katniss,
who is confirmed to have volunteered for the Games. Cato was skilled with
many weapons and proved this by scoring a 10 in his private session, earning
many sponsors in the process. Cato played a strong part in the initial bloodbath,
killing off many tributes, one being the District 4 male. He then took part in the
hunt for Katniss during the Games, along with the other career tributes and
Peeta. He managed to escape the attack of the tracker jackers, caused by
Katniss while they were sleeping. Cato made it through to the final six and was
absent from the feast, as Clove had gone to the Cornucopia herself and fought
with Katniss. Cato presumably killed Thresh (book) and outfoxed Foxface to
make the final three. At this point, game makers sent in mutations representing
the dead tributes (book) and dogs (movie) which drove Katniss, Peeta, and Cato
to the cornucopia, where Cato is seen to have received full body armour. Cato
captured Peeta but Katniss shoots him in the hand, forcing him to release Peeta
and fall off of the cornucopia. There the dogs maul him before Katniss
mercifully kills him with an arrow. He finished 3rd overall.
 Clove is the District 2 female tribute in the 74th Hunger Games. She was
said to have dark hair. Clove was a member of the career pack and an expert
knife-thrower. She scored a 10 in her private session, common for a career
tribute. In the initial bloodbath, she was the first tribute who came close to
killing Katniss. She killed the District 9 male, who was about to kill Katniss,
and then threw a knife at Katniss, who blocked it with her backpack. She then
chased Katniss away into the forest. Clove took part in the hunt for Katniss
during the games, along with the career tributes and Peeta because Katniss beat
her in the private session. Once they found Katniss, they chased her up a tree
and trapped her by sleeping on the ground beneath her. Clove then survived the
 attack of the tracker jackers, caused by Katniss. Katniss then further weakened
the careers, when she destroyed their supplies. Clove and Katniss then came
into contact at the feast, where Clove attacked her with a knife, pinned her
down, and taunted her about Rue's death. Clove was about to kill Katniss but is
then attacked by Thresh, who had witnessed the whole fight. Clove's death is
slightly different in the book and the film: in the book Thresh smashed her head
with a rock, cracking her skull, but in the film, he violently and lethally slams
her against the Cornucopia. She finished 6th overall.
 Foxface is the District 5 female tribute in the 74th Hunger Games. Her real
name is never revealed, but Katniss gives her this nickname. She scored a 5
during her private session and survived the initial bloodbath. She was next seen
by Katniss as she stole food from the career tributes' mountain of supplies. She
then took part in the feast, in which she remained hidden in the Cornucopia,
escaping with her district bag. She made it through to the final 5 tributes but
died after eating poisonous nightlock berries. She finished 4th overall in the
book (5th in the film).
 Thresh is the District 11 male tribute in the 74th Hunger Games. He was the
physically strongest and largest tribute, which lent him an advantage in the
Games, and one of the oldest contenders. He scored a 10 in his private session,
which proved he was as strong as the career tributes. He survived the initial
bloodbath and even killed one of the tributes himself. During the games, he
stayed hidden away from all the other tributes, which helped him survive
through to the final six. When the feast was announced, he made his way to the
Cornucopia and witnessed Clove attack Katniss. He then brutally killed Clove,
upon hearing her say that she killed Rue, his female counterpart. He spared
Katniss's life as she was Rue's ally. His death in the book is very different from
that in the film: in the book, he is presumably killed by Cato and finishes fifth
overall. However, in the film, he is the first victim of the Mutts and finishes
fourth overall.
 Rue is the District 11 female tribute in the 74th Hunger Games. She was the
youngest of all the tributes in the Games, at just 12 years old. She scored a 7 in
her private session which was unusually high for such a young tribute and
survived the initial bloodbath. She spent the first few days climbing through the
trees and hiding. On Day 5, she found Katniss up a tree, trapped there by the
career tributes. She pointed out a tracker jacker nest to Katniss. Katniss planned
to drop the nest on the careers and cut the branch it was hanging under,[6] which
caused it to fall on the careers. This resulted in the deaths of Glimmer (and the
female tribute from District 4 in the book). Katniss then collapsed, having been
stung by some of the tracker jackers, and slept for a few days. Rue tended to her
 jacket stings during this time, stating that it was 'lucky that she had the sense to
pull out the stingers, otherwise she would have been a lot worse. Upon her
awakening, Katniss and Rue became allies and made plans to destroy the
careers' supplies. Katniss destroyed the supply mountain the next day, shooting
a sack of apples that, upon landing, set off the pedestal mines that the boy from
District 3 had reactivated, but Rue found herself trapped in a net set up by the
Careers. Katniss came to her rescue, but, while dodging her own death, Marvel
speared Rue in the abdomen. In the ensuing conflict, Marvel was killed by
Katniss, who was trying to defend Rue. The dying Rue told Katniss she had to
win and asked her to sing for her as she died. Rue finished seventh overall. Rue
had five brothers and sisters, and her father died when she was 9. She was
evidently close to her siblings and had some hunting skills, even though the
only weapons she had were a slingshot and a rock for a knife. Rue is often
mentioned by Katniss in the later books as they were not only allies but friends
as well.
75th Hunger Games[edit]

 Gloss is the District 1 male tribute in the 75th Hunger Games and

Cashmere's brother. He was a career tribute specializing in the use of daggers
and the victor of the 63rd Hunger Games. In the film, he is shown to be a very
handsome, muscular, bare-chested, and tallest tribute. In the book, Katniss shot
him with an arrow in the right temple. In the film, Katniss shoots an arrow
piercing the direct center of his bare chest, killing him instantly. He finished
11th overall.
 Cashmere is the District 1 female tribute in the 75th Hunger Games. She
was a career tribute specializing in the use of knives and the victor of the 64th
Hunger Games. In the film, she is shown to be very beautiful and close to her
brother Gloss. Johanna Mason killed her by throwing an axe into her chest.
Cashmere finished 10th overall. In Mockingjay, Finnick implies that she was
prostituted by the Capitol, just as he had been.
 Brutus is the District 2 male tribute in the 75th Hunger Games. He was a
career tribute and the victor of the 46th Hunger Games. In the film, he is shown
to be bald, extremely muscular, bare-chested, and very skilled with spears. He
was the last tribute to die in the Third Quarter Quell as well as the entire history
of the Hunger Games. Peeta killed him after Brutus killed Chaff. Brutus
finished 7th overall. This wasn't confirmed until Peeta mentioned his killing of
Brutus in an interview with Caesar Flickerman in the third film.
 Enobaria is the District 2 female tribute in the 75th Hunger Games. She was
a career tribute specializing in the use of swords and the victor of the 62nd
 Hunger Games. During her games, she bit another tribute's throat to secure her
victory. To remind people of her savage victory, she had her teeth filed into
fangs and inlaid with gold, which made her extremely popular with the people
of the Capitol. Enobaria was the only non-alliance tribute who survived the
Third Quarter Quell; she was taken hostage by the Capitol alongside Peeta and
Johanna. She was not among the victors rescued by District 13, though Boggs,
who led the mission speculated that being from District 2, she may not have
been being held anyway, and Katniss thought Enobaria was probably not
tortured. Although the book states that Victors were targeted by both sides
during the war due to distrust about their loyalties, Enobaria was the only non-
rebel victor to have escaped death to the end. In the voting to decide the final
Hunger Games with the Capitol children, Enobaria voted yes, stating: "Let
them [the Capitol] taste their own medicine". Nevertheless, her inclusion
among them seemed out of place to Johanna Mason who threatened to kill her
anyway. In the final two film adaptations, Enobaria is neither mentioned as
having been captured by the Capitol nor shown rescued alongside the other
tributes but later turns up anyway, in the voting to decide the final Hunger
Games as well as during the execution of President Snow.
 Beetee Latier is the District 3 male in the 75th Hunger Games. He was
skilled in electronics and won his game by electrocuting groups of tributes at
once. Beetee also contributed substantially to the technology of the Capitol. He
joined the alliance to protect Katniss and devised a plan to electrocute the
careers. Although injured, he survived the game and was brought by the rebels
to District 13. Beetee joined the district's technology division, working on the
military equipment and designing a bomb that President Coin later used to
bomb the Capitol children and medics, killing Prim.
 Wiress is the District 3 female in the 75th Hunger Games. She had a habit of
not finishing her sentences, forcing Beetee to finish them on her behalf. She
was tech-savvy and communicated to Katniss the arena of the Third Quarter
Quell was designed and functioned as a clock. After Blight's death, Wiress
became mentally unstable. When the careers caught up with the alliance, Gloss
slit Wiress's throat. Wiress finished 12th overall.
 Mags is the District 4 female in the 75th Hunger Games. She was the oldest
tribute, about 80 years old, and had won the 11th Hunger Games. Mags was
frail and spoke fragmented words that Katniss did not understand, though
Katniss did understand her body language (in the movie, this is all changed to
her being a mute). Mags knew she could not survive the game due to her age
and frailty, but volunteered as tribute to spare Annie Cresta, Finnick Odair's
girlfriend. Mags was skilled at weaving and could make a fishing hook "out of
 anything". During the game, Mags sacrificed herself to a poisonous fog so she
would not slow down Katniss, Peeta, and Finnick. She finished 15th overall.
 An unidentified female Morphling is the District 6 female in the 75th
Hunger Games. She sacrificed herself by jumping in front of a monkey
mutt before it could kill Peeta, who afterward comforted her in the book, by
telling her stories about colors and letting her paint a flower on his face with
her blood, and in the film by having her admire the sky. She finished 14th
overall.
 Blight is the District 7 male in the 75th Hunger Games. He protested his
inclusion by not joining the Training Period. He formed an alliance with his
fellow tribute, Johanna, and with Beetee and Wiress, but ran into a force field
during a blood rain, which stopped his heart. Johanna stated: "he's not much,
but he was from home".
 Johanna Mason is the female tribute from District 7. She won the 71st
Hunger Games[citation needed] by pretending she was a weakling and a coward, so no
one regarded her as a threat, but when only a few tributes remained, she
revealed herself to be a vicious killer. Haymitch implies that she may have been
prostituted by President Snow, as Finnick was, but it is also implied that she
refused to be prostituted, causing the Capitol to kill her family and friends. She
does not consider Snow a threat: "He can't hurt me. There is no one left I love."
Sarcastic and rebellious, Johanna's first meeting with Katniss involves her
stripping naked out of her tree costume in order to make Katniss
uncomfortable. She openly defies and defames the Capitol at every opportunity,
but the Capitol usually ignores her, since they had already eliminated those she
loved. Johanna teams up with Katniss, Peeta, and Finnick in the Quarter Quell,
bringing Beetee and Wiress with her. Johanna takes part in the committee to
keep Katniss and Peeta alive and helps by protecting Katniss throughout the
Games. Near the end of Catching Fire, she removes the tracker in Katniss's arm
by cutting it out with a knife. Johanna is captured by the Capitol at the end
of Catching Fire. In the third book, she is rescued, along with Peeta and Annie,
and brought to District 13 where she fights with rebel forces and improves her
friendship with Katniss. She is to fight in the Capitol with Katniss (although not
as a sharpshooter—being from an area where lumber is the main export, her
main weapon is the axe) but during training in District 13, she panics when the
training arena is deliberately flooded, as she has developed a fear of water as a
result of her Capitol torture (being soaked in water and given electric shocks —
also being bald is another torture they did to her). Because she and Katniss
refuse to be held in the District 13 hospital to treat their supposed mental
illnesses, they convince the officials of District 13 to let them room together.
 Johanna is part of the committee that votes whether to hold one last Hunger
Games using the Capitol's children. She votes yes.
 Finnick Odair is the male tribute from District 4 who was reaped into the
Third Quarter Quell. He is 25 years old and described as being very handsome,
muscular, athletic, and tall with tan skin, bronze hair, and stunning sea-green
eyes. He is very popular among the people of the Capitol, both because he is a
victorious Career tribute and a sex symbol, known for having many lovers in
the Capitol, none of whom he stays with for long. At age 14, he won the 65th
Hunger Games by using a trident and a net against other tributes (a skill unique
to District 4's trade of fishing). Katniss remarks that the trident given to him by
a sponsor may have been the most expensive gift ever seen in the Games.
During the Quarter Quell, Katniss is hesitant to make Finnick her ally, because
she does not trust him—to her, he appears to be shallow, arrogant, and
superficial. However, Finnick soon proves to be trustworthy by saving Peeta by
using CPR to resuscitate him (which Katniss notes as, "one of the things I will
never stop owing him for"), and using his skills to provide shelter. When
jabberjays that make sounds of the screams of loved ones being tortured appear
in the Quell, the one made to target Finnick uses the voice of Annie Cresta, his
"poor, mad" lover in District 4, who was also a victor of the Games.
In Mockingjay, Finnick enters a deep depression, a result of Annie's being held
prisoner by the Capitol, and forms a close bond with Katniss over their mutual
pain and experiences. He assists with the rebellion by appearing in rebel
propaganda. He later reveals that victors of the Games are often prostituted to
wealthy citizens of the Capitol by President Snow, which resulted in Finnick's
reputation for having many lovers. He also reveals all of the political secrets he
learned from clients, including the fact that President Snow only became the
leader of Panem by poisoning his opponents. Finnick is reunited with Annie
(when District 13 retrieves her, Johanna, and Peeta from the Capitol), and they
marry. Finnick is a member of the "Star Squad" that goes to fight in the Capitol
during the final stages of the rebellion. He and Katniss fight off
lizard muttations (or "mutts") during the attempt to infiltrate the Capitol, with
Finnick holding them off for Katniss to escape but being dragged back by them
before he can escape himself. Katniss says "Nightlock" three times into the
Holo, causing it to explode, allowing Finnick to die quickly and painlessly. In
the novel, however, Finnick is decapitated by the mutts. Katniss sees moments
from Finnick's life pass before her eyes as he dies. Some months after his death,
Annie has their son. Finnick and Katniss grow very close in Catching Fire, and
he is Katniss's best friend throughout the last novel, being one of the only
people who understand what she is going through. Finnick is happily married
with Annie.
 Woof is the District 8 male in the 75th Hunger Games. He is the second
oldest living tribute, about 70 years old. He is forgetful and eats insects even
after being told they are poisonous. He is killed in the bloodbath.
 Cecelia is the District 8 female in the 75th Hunger Games. She had three
children who begged her not to enter the Hunger Games, as seen in the footage
of the Reaping. Katniss chose her as one of her allies in the arena, but Cecelia
was killed in the bloodbath.
 Chaff is the District 11 male in the 75th Hunger Games. He was the victor
of the 45th Hunger Games and refused a prosthetic arm after losing it. Chaff
was best friends with Haymitch, and they frequently drank together. He kisses
Katniss during their first meeting, without warning, to tease her. He is killed by
Brutus on the final day of the game, finishing 8th overall.
 Seeder is the District 11 female in the 75th Hunger Games. She had dark
hair and olive skin, which made her look like a person from The Seam if not for
her golden eyes. She embraced Katniss after the chariot rides, assuring Katniss
that Rue and Thresh's families were safe after the commotion in District 11.
Katniss chose her as one of her allies in the arena, but she was killed in the
bloodbath.
Other Games[edit]

 Titus was a male tribute from District 6 who competed in an unspecified

Hunger Game. The Arena of that game was a frozen tundra, and the tributes
were constantly in dire need of food. Titus became a cannibal by eating the
corpses of dead tributes. He was eventually killed by an avalanche, and since
then, there is an unspoken rule for the tributes not to eat other tributes. Katniss
speculates the Capitol staged his death to prevent a mad cannibal from winning
the game.
 Maysilee Donner is Madge's aunt, and was reaped along with Haymitch and
two others for the 50th Hunger Games, and temporarily became Haymitch's
ally. She and Katniss's mother were friends. She teams up with Haymitch after
saving him from a fight against 3 other tributes using poisonous darts. After
breaking the alliance with Haymitch, Maysilee is killed by a large number of
bright, "candy-pink birds", who use their razor sharp beaks to fatally wound her
in the neck. Haymitch stays with her until she dies, as Katniss stayed with Rue
until she died. The mockingjay pin Madge gave Katniss belonged to Maysilee.
 Annie Cresta competed in and won the 70th Hunger Games, representing
District 4. She has sea-green eyes and dark hair. She became mentally unstable
after seeing the male tribute from her district decapitated. When an earthquake
broke a dam, the arena was flooded. She won because, being from the fishing
 district, she was the best swimmer. Annie seems never to have fully recovered
and is seen to be driven mad. Despite this, she is a kind person. She is chosen at
the reaping for the Quarter Quell, but Mags volunteers to take her place, to
spare her. Her scream is used by the jabberjays (birds that can mimic whatever
they hear) in the Quarter Quell to torment Finnick Odair, who loves her.
In Mockingjay, she and Finnick marry, and she gives birth to their son after his
death. Annie votes against another Hunger Games for Capitol children, noting
that, if alive, Finnick would do the same.

Supporting characters[edit]
The Capitol[edit]

 Effie Trinket is a Capitol-born chaperone who was assigned to oversee

District 12's tributes in the Hunger Games, specifically Katniss and Peeta in the
74th and 75th Games. She must carry out such tasks as drawing the tributes'
names at the reaping and escorting them to the Capitol. At first, she detests her
association with District 12 and hopes to be promoted to a better, richer district
after she pays her dues for a few years. Later, Effie becomes attached to her
District 12 charges. She has no moral qualms about the Hunger Games or the
Capitol and appears oblivious to the misfortunes of District 12. She does not
appear to be very intelligent and gets basic facts wrong, such as confusing how
diamonds and pearls are made. Effie wears wigs of different colors for various
special occasions, is very strict about manners, and is always punctual. Katniss
notes in the first book that "although she can be tiresome, Effie has a very keen
instinct about certain things" and "a certain determination I admire". Effie's
catchphrase in the first book is "Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be
ever in your favor!" In Mockingjay, it is said she was imprisoned after Katniss’s
escape but unlike many others Katniss knew in the Capitol, she is not executed.
She meets up again with Katniss before Snow's execution, and Katniss notes
that she now has a "vacant look" in her eyes. The book states Haymitch and
Plutarch had some difficulty in keeping her from being executed at the end of
the war, but her imprisonment had actually helped in that regard. In the films,
Effie's role in the third film, Mockingjay Part 1, is expanded as, rather than
getting captured by the Capitol, she is instead evacuated against her will by the
Rebels and taken to District 13. Though initially hesitant, she eventually
consents to help Katniss and effectively replaces the role of Katniss's prep
team, who does not appear beyond the second film.
 Cinna is Katniss' stylist, responsible for her public appearances. After
designing the spectacular outfits for the opening ceremony, which include
costumes ignitable with synthetic fire, he nicknames Katniss "the Girl on Fire".
 Cinna is in his first year as a stylist for the Games and specifically requested to
be assigned to District 12. His amazing designs immediately win over the
audience in favor of the District 12 tributes. Cinna is better than most at seeing
through the superficial and spectacle of the Games to their barbaric core.
[7]
 Cinna’s role was also to support and calm Katniss down before entering the
arena. Although he did this very subtly, he had a unique nonverbal connection,
which gave Katniss much strength. He and Katniss establish an easy,
comfortable relationship, and he demonstrates a genuine concern for her well-
being.
In Catching Fire, Cinna dresses Katniss for her television interview in her
wedding dress, as insisted by President Snow, but alters it so that when Katniss
raises her arms and twirls, the white dress burns away to be replaced with a
black and grey dress of feathers that resembles a mockingjay, which has
become the symbol of the resistance in Panem. Because of this, Cinna is
savagely beaten in front of Katniss, right before she enters the arena for the
Quarter Quell, which unnerves her greatly. It is suggested that he might have
been tortured to death after the arena explodes. Effie Trinket states
in Mockingjay, Part 1 before showing Katniss sketches of her Mockingjay
costume made by Cinna that he is dead. Cinna is very different from the other
inhabitants of the Capitol. He does not use surgery to alter his features, wears
simple black clothes, and leaves his hair its natural dark brown color, close-
cropped. His only concession to the Capitol's fashion style is a small amount of
gold eyeliner that brings out the gold flecks in his eyes. In Mockingjay he is
confirmed as one of the rebels.
 Plutarch Heavensbee is the new Head Gamemaker following the death of
Seneca Crane. He is actually the judge who falls into the punch bowl when
Katniss shoots the apple out of a pig's mouth during her scoring in the first
book, but Katniss does not formally meet him until the Victory Tour
celebration in the second book. He is later shown to be the leader of the
rebellion movement in the Districts and is the mastermind behind the plan to
break the tributes out of the arena in Catching Fire. He tries to give Katniss
hints about the nature of the arena for the Quarter Quell, but Katniss does not
pick up on it until much later. In Mockingjay he has become a "rebel
filmmaker",[8] and helps create propaganda featuring Katniss as the Mockingjay
for District 13's war against the Capitol. He is elected Secretary of
Communications after the war ends.
 Seneca Crane is the Head Gamemaker during the 74th Hunger Games. Near
the beginning of the Catching Fire book, Snow tells Katniss that he had him
executed for letting both her and Peeta live. At the end of the first Hunger
 Games movie, Crane is shown being escorted by Capitol guards and locked in a
room containing poisonous nightlock berries to consume. In both the Catching
Fire book and movie, Katniss hangs a dummy with the words "Seneca Crane"
on it before the judges when her skills test is performed, shocking the judges
greatly.
 Octavia, Venia, and Flavius are Katniss's prep team. They are residents of
the Capitol and sport the radically altered appearances typical of Capitol
residents, including pea-green skin (Octavia), aqua-colored hair and a face
etched with gold tattoos (Venia), and orange corkscrew hair and purple lipstick
(Flavius). At first, it appears they are dull-witted and care only about their
appearance. However, they prove themselves less shallow when they begin to
cry while preparing Katniss for the Quarter Quell, from which they do not
expect her to return. Katniss gleans valuable information from them by
listening to them gossip about shortages of supplies, giving Katniss clues about
which districts have rebelled. In Mockingjay, they are kidnapped and taken to
District 13 to help with Katniss's styling, and they very quickly run afoul of
District 13's draconian rules and end up cruelly punished for stealing bread.
Katniss orders them set free and healed. Venia is said to have always been the
strongest: for example, in Catching Fire, Venia is the only one to contain her
emotions while working on Katniss's appearance, while Octavia and Flavius
both need to leave the room to control their emotions. Katniss's prep team only
appears in the first two films (except for Venia, who only appears in the first);
their roles in the final two films are filled by Effie.
 Caesar Flickerman is the Master of Ceremonies and commentator for the
Hunger Games, along with Claudius Templesmith. He has served as the master
of ceremonies since the 50th Hunger Games, but his unchanged appearance
leads Katniss to speculate that he had received extensive surgeries to retain his
youth. He also interviews each tribute on live television the night before the
Games begin and is known to have an innate ability to relax a tribute's fears to
have a casual discussion with him or her. He is also known for wearing a
different color of hair and suit for each Hunger Game, including a frightening
blood-red color of hair used in the 73rd Hunger Games. In the movies, he is
also known for flashing a huge smile. It is implied that he is the son or
grandson of the first Hunger Games commentator, Lucky Flickerman.
 Tigris is a former Hunger Games stylist who later works in a small shop
specializing in fur-trimmed underwear in the Capitol. Her face has been altered
into a "semi-feline mask" through many surgical operations. It is implied these
alterations, too strange for even people in The Capitol, caused her to be
shunned and banned as a stylist for the Games; this resulted in Tigris's
 becoming embittered towards The Capitol. She aids Katniss's squad on their
final mission by hiding them in her shop and disguising them. When Katniss
offers Tigris food, she says: "I eat next to nothing, and then, only raw meat".
After that, Katniss says that Tigris is too into her character. In The Ballad of
Songbirds and Snakes, she is revealed as Corionalus Snow's cousin, three years
his senior. She cooks for him and their grandmother as she is the only member.
In this book, she is training to be a fashion designer, and she and Coriolanus are
shown to care deeply for each other.
 Claudius Templesmith is an announcer and commentator for the Hunger
Games with Caesar Flickerman.
 Portia is Peeta's stylist in the 74th and 75th Hunger Games. She is only
mentioned a few times in the series. She praises Katniss on a job well done in
the first book, when Katniss receives an 11 in her private session. Alongside the
other stylists and prep teams for other tributes (except for Katniss's prep team),
Portia is publicly executed by the Capitol after the Third Quarter Quell due to
their alleged collaboration with the tributes that facilitates their escape from the
arena.
 Atala is the training center coach before the Games.
 Cressida is the resident director from the Capitol. She and her camera crew
join the rebellion, moving to District 13 after fleeing the Capitol. Cressida is
described as "a woman with a shaved head tattooed with green vines". She
films propos for District 13 and later accompanies Katniss and her squad during
their assault on the Capitol. She becomes upset by the deaths of two of her crew
members, Castor and Messalla, but survives the war and begins filming the war
destruction in Panem alongside Pollux.
 Messalla is Cressida's assistant from the Capitol. He moved to District 13
after fleeing the Capitol. He assists in filming propos for the rebels in Districts
8 and 13. He joins the Star Squad in the rebellion, on their final mission in the
Capitol. When the troops find their way into the Capitol's underground, they are
soon found by lizard muttations. While fleeing from the lizards, Messalla is
killed by a pod that emits a shaft of impenetrable light, melting his skin off.
 Castor and Pollux are brothers who comprise Cressida's camera crew from
the Capitol. They often wear "insect shells", that is, a wearable carapace
holding the camera and equipment. Pollux is a former Avox, having escaped
from servitude in the Capitol, and Castor interprets for him. As
photojournalists, they are courageous and have an incredible sense for
"capturing the right moment" on film. After Katniss sings "The Hanging Tree",
Pollux comes to truly accept and admire her. Castor is killed by the lizard
muttations, with Finnick and Homes, while Pollux survives and assists Cressida
 to document the war destruction after the war's end. The brothers' names derive
from the twins of Greek mythology. In the myth, as in Mockingjay, Castor is
killed, while Pollux lives on, alone.
 Fulvia Cardew is Plutarch Heavensbee's assistant who defects from the
Capitol to join the Second Rebellion. Gale notes that she is "so well intended,
yet so insulting". She proposes that Katniss would become the center of the
propos by reading out speeches written by her, which Katniss vehemently
rejects because she does not want to become anyone other than herself. Later,
Fulvia suggests for a propo about the fallen tributes with Finnick narrating; this
time, her idea is green-lit. Fulvia survives the Second Rebellion and continues
to assist Plutarch. In the films, Fulvia does not appear, her role instead being
taken by Effie.
 Dr. Volumnia Gaul is the initial Head Gamemaker of the Hunger Games.
She developed the Hunger Games from an assignment done by two of her
university students before the war, Crassus Snow and Casca Highbottom. She is
also head of the Capitol's Experimental Weapons Division and creates many
muttations as part of her job. In The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, she
behaves eccentrically constantly and places mentors in dangerous situations.
 Crassus Xanthos Snow is Coriolanus Snow's father. He died during the
First Rebellion. He co-created the idea of the Hunger Games with his friend
Casca Highbottom as part of a university assignment.
District 8[edit]

 Commander Paylor first appears in Mockingjay. Paylor is described as

having dark brown eyes that are puffy with fatigue, and she smells of metal and
sweat. Paylor is a leader of the rebel troops in District 8. Katniss meets her
while in District 8 to film a propo. Later in Mockingjay, while wandering
around President Snow's now rebel-inhabited mansion, Paylor allows Katniss to
see President Snow, who is now imprisoned and awaiting execution. Two days
after Katniss kills Coin, Paylor becomes President of Panem. It is implied that
living conditions in all the districts improved considerably under her
presidency.
 Bonnie and Twill meet Katniss in the woods during Catching Fire. Both are
from District 8 and are rebels. Twill proves this by holding out a cracker with
the image of a mockingjay; in the book, it is the first time Katniss sees that the
mockingjay has become a symbol of rebellion. Bonnie and Twill are on their
way to District 13, and are the first to tell Katniss that District 13 may exist.
Katniss also begins to ponder the reality of District 13, when she realizes that
they show the same footage of the burned-down justice building again and
 again, each time implying it is current footage. However, in Mockingjay, it is
mentioned the pair never made it to 13, and they are presumed dead. Bonnie
and Twill are not featured in the films.
 Eddy is a boy who is hospitalized along with his sister in District 8 by the
time Katniss arrives there to film a propo. He seems to idolize Katniss with
how he tries to come close to see her. He and his sister presumably perish when
the Capitol bombs the hospital they are in.
District 12[edit]

 Mrs. Everdeen is Katniss's mother. She has fair skin, blonde hair, and blue
eyes, which symbolize that she is not from the seam. She was raised in town as
the daughter of an apothecary and consequently had a fairly comfortable life.
During the 50th Hunger Games (2nd Quarter Quell) reaping, she and Madge's
mother were clinging on Maysilee Donner, Madge's aunt, and Ms. Everdeen's
friend, who was reaped and killed at the time. She gave it all up to marry
Katniss's father and move to the Seam, where she lived in poverty. After her
husband died in a mining accident, she fell into a deep depression and did not
speak for a long time, neglecting her daughters and forcing Katniss to become
Prim's primary parent figure. Mrs. Everdeen eventually recovered enough to set
up an apothecary in District 12, but it was not until after Katniss's first Hunger
Games that she finally forgave her mother for not offering any support to her
and Prim during her depression. In Mockingjay, Mrs. Everdeen is seen working
in the hospital in District 13, and following Prim's death at the end of the book,
she does not return to District 12 with Katniss. Instead, she stays in District 4,
working in a hospital and coping with her grief. She and Katniss maintain
contact through telephone calls.
 Madge Undersee is the mayor's daughter and Katniss's friend. She is not
included in the film adaptations. In the books, she and Katniss were always
thrown together at school, as both were solitary in nature. Madge gives Katniss
her mockingjay pin,[9] which becomes a symbol of rebellion. In the film,
Katniss obtains the pin at the market, from a woman who lets her take it free of
charge. Katniss later learns the pin had belonged to Madge's aunt, Maysilee
Donner, a tribute in the 50th Hunger Games and Madge's mother's twin sister,
who became Haymitch's ally and who was killed by birds with spear beaks.
Katniss and Madge spend more time together during the months after the
Games. Katniss is at Madge's house when she first hears of the uprisings in
District 8 on the mayor's television in his room. Madge and her family perish in
the District 12 bombings. Katniss and Madge went over to each other's houses.
 Madge tried to teach Katniss to play the piano but what she really wanted to go
out into the woods to hunt.
 Mr. Everdeen was Katniss's father. He and Gale's father died in the District
12 mines, when Katniss was 11 and Prim was 7. Memories of him run through
Katniss' mind throughout the series, with Katniss mentioning his singing voice,
his handsomeness, and the things he taught her. Peeta's father says that
although he was in love with Katniss's mother, she chose to marry Katniss's
father because of his lovely singing voice. Katniss recalls that when her father
sang, "all the birds stopped to listen" (this is one of the memories that Peeta
responds successfully to). Katniss misses her father terribly, and the pain of
losing him almost destroyed Mrs. Everdeen. He is depicted
through flashbacks in the films.
 Delly Cartwright is a girl from District 12 whom Katniss describes as being
"the friendliest person on the planet". Delly is Peeta's friend and became one of
the refugees in District 13, after escaping the District 12 fire bombing with her
younger brother. Her parents, who hid in the shoe shop during the bombing,
were not so lucky, as Katniss describes. Delly is first mentioned in The Hunger
Games, when Peeta, trying to explain Katniss's reaction upon recognizing an
Avox as someone she met on a hunting trip, fibs that the Avox is a "dead ringer
for Delly". In Mockingjay, after Peeta is rescued from the Capitol, Delly is used
as a psychological "balm" to stir his childhood memories and help begin his
recovery from the mind-control tortures the Capitol inflicted upon him. In the
same book, it was revealed that Delly and Peeta used to create chalk drawings
on paving stones, and Peeta's father used to let them make dough people. Delly
does not appear in the film series, her role instead being taken by Prim.
 Greasy Sae is an old woman who sells bowls of soup from a large kettle at
The Hob in District 12. Katniss Everdeen and Gale Hawthorne trade with her
often, and make a conscious effort to remain on good terms with her, as she
could be counted on to buy wild dogs, which most of their other customers
decline. Greasy Sae started a collection to sponsor Peeta and Katniss during the
74th Hunger Games, and some people chipped in. She has a granddaughter
described as "not quite right", who is generally treated as sort of a pet by people
in The Hob, who give her scraps of food from their stands. At the end of the
book, Greasy Sae is one of the few hundred people to return to District 12
following the war. When Katniss returns to District 12 after the war, Greasy
Sae comes over in the morning and evening to cook and do light housekeeping.
It is unclear whether she is doing this out of friendship or if she has been paid.
Greasy Sae is not directly mentioned in the Hunger Games movies, but a
character who is presumably her is seen dealing with Katniss; she gives the
 mockingjay pin to Katniss in the movie, although in the book, Madge gave
Katniss the pin.
 Hazelle Hawthorne is Gale's mother. A very self-reliant woman, after her
husband is killed in the same mining accident that killed Katniss's father, she
takes up work doing people's laundry. In the book, after Gale is caught
poaching and is publicly whipped, people stop using Hazelle's services for fear
of being punished for associating with her. She gets a new job cleaning
Haymitch's house sometime after that.
 Rory, Vick, and Posy Hawthorne are Gale's younger siblings. The book
states Rory is 12, Vick is 10, and Posy is 5. Posy was born after the mining
accident that killed Gale and Katniss's fathers. After Thread's lockdown, Posy
got sick, and Rory received tesserae in exchange for his name to be entered
more times in the reaping. In the final book, Posy cheers up Octavia, saying
that she would pretty in any color.
 Mr. Mellark is Peeta's father. He owns a bakery. Kind and soft-spoken, he
resembles his son. He does not appear except when he trades with Katniss and
Gale, and when he visits Katniss before the 74th Hunger Games to give her
cookies. It is later revealed that he grew up with Katniss's mother, Mrs.
Everdeen, and even loved her. In Mockingjay, it is revealed that he used to let
Peeta and Delly Cartwright make dough girls and boys. Mr. Mellark and his
wife die in the District 12 bombings.
 Mrs. Mellark is Peeta's mother. Very stern and strict, she only appears in
the series once, when she beats Peeta. Peeta mentions that he likes his father
more than his mother. Katniss calls her a "witch" on several occasions and hints
that Mr. Mellark only married her because he could not have the woman who
became Mrs. Everdeen. Mrs. Mellark dies in the District 12 bombings.
 Cray is the Head Peacekeeper of District 12. As such Cray does not enforce
many of the laws of the Capitol. He is often found in The Hob, District 12's
black market, where he buys illegal alcohol and game from Gale and Katniss.
Although lenient with the law, he is also known to abuse his position by luring
starving young women into his bed in exchange for a small amount of money.
He disappears abruptly the day Thread comes to take his place and there is no
further word of his fate. In the movie he is seen stepping out to greet Thread
right before having a bag placed over his head and being taken away by
peacekeepers suggesting he met a bad end.
 Romulus Thread is Cray's replacement as Head Peacekeeper of District 12.
He is extremely cruel, intimidating and sadistic. His only appearance is in the
second book Catching Fire at Gale Hawthorne's whipping for poaching off the
Capitol's land. The film changes his reason for whipping Gale to because he
 tackles him when he is about to beat a defiant bystander. Thread makes major
changes to District 12 by adding new gallows, stocks, and a whipping post, as
well as enforcing curfew. He also has The Hob (District 12's black market)
burned down.
 Mayor Undersee is Madge Undersee's father as well as District 12's mayor.
He enjoys the strawberries that Katniss Everdeen and Gale Hawthorne pick
illegally from the woods. He was present at the reaping in The Hunger Games.
He is also mentioned as throwing a Harvest Festival party in District 12
in Catching Fire. He dies in the District 12 bombing.
 Goat Man is an old man who raises goats for a living. In The Hunger
Games, Katniss recalls him as the man who sells Katniss and Gale a goat.
Later, the goat is given to Primrose and named Lady. Goat Man is said to have
died during the initial bombing of District 12.
 Rooba is the District 12 butcher. She helps Katniss by refusing the Goat
Man's offer, thus letting Katniss have the goat for a lower price. She is also
known to buy meat (such as rabbits and deer) from Katniss and Gale. She dies
in the District 12 bombing.
 Ripper is a seller of white liquor in the Hob market of District 12. Peeta
threatens to report her to the Peacekeepers if she continues to sell liquor to
Katniss and Haymitch, who drink together after the twist for the Third Quarter
Quell is revealed. She presumably dies during the District 12 bombings, as she
is not mentioned among the 10% of the population who manage to reach
District 13.
 Lady is a nanny goat owned by Prim, who usually milks it before going to
school every day. Lady was not brought to District 13 (and neither was
Buttercup) during the evacuation. Her fate is not confirmed, but Katniss did not
see her anywhere when she visited District 12 after the bombings.
 Buttercup is Prim's cat. Though Katniss describes him as "the world's
ugliest cat", Prim disregards this and takes good care of him. He is Prim's
companion and is loyal only to her. Although he did not escape with Prim and
Mrs. Everdeen, Katniss found him when she visited District 12 after the
bombings and brought him back. He is said to dislike District 13, due to its
underground location and lack of fresh air. After Prim's death and the end of the
war, he makes his way back to District 12 on foot and is found again by
Katniss. The two mourn Prim's death in Mockingjay and end up comforting
each other (it is hinted they are beginning to love each other). Buttercup has
black and white fur in the first film (contrary to his name), but in later films
better fits the books' description of him.
 Mrs. Undersee is Mayor Undersee's wife, Madge's mother, and Maysilee
Donner's sister. She is said to have been in a very deep depression, partially
brought on by her sister's death. She is described as staying in bed all day,
shutting away reality. She takes pills to calm her pain, which does not seem to
work. She perishes along with her daughter, husband, and two other people in
the District 12 bombings.
 Darius is a friendly Peacekeeper who became an Avox because he interfered
with Gale's public whipping. He is Katniss's Avox servant for the Quarter
Quell, along with Lavinia. Because of this, he was arrested with Lavinia,
questioned about Katniss, tortured, and eventually killed. Peeta mentioned
in Mockingjay that while Lavinia died relatively quickly (if accidentally), it
took days to finish Darius off. As Avoxes cannot speak, it can be assumed the
only purpose for questioning them was to torture Peeta by making him listen.
Darius does not appear in the film series.
 Leevy is Katniss' neighbor, who makes her first canon-appearance
in Catching Fire. She offers to help after Gale's whipping, and Katniss tells her
to go to the Hawthorne house. She survived the bombing of District 12. She is
shown in District 13 in Mockingjay as being cautious of Katniss' prep team, but
still gives them a greeting. She is supportive of Katniss, and she tells Haymitch
that she was inspired by Katniss' drive when she volunteered for Prim at the
reaping. It can be assumed that she survived the rebellion, and most likely
returned to District 12. She is described as being from the Seam, so she likely
has dark hair and gray eyes, and is likely the same age as Katniss. When Leevy
goes to get Hazelle Hawthorne after Gale's whipping, Katniss reminds her to
leave Rory, Vick, and Posy at their house so that they couldn't see the pain that
their older brother was in.
District 13[edit]

 President Alma Coin is the leader of District 13. She is described as having
gray hair that falls in an unbroken sheet to her shoulders and gray eyes that look
like "all the color was sucked away" and "slush that you wish would melt
away". She has a special dislike of Katniss and mentions that Katniss is more
useful to her dead than alive. It is also revealed that she wanted Peeta rescued
from the Third Quarter Quell, not Katniss. During the assault on Capitol, Coin
deliberately places Peeta in Katniss's squad to endanger Katniss's life, which
Snow had warned about for he and Coin had been political rivals. After taking
over the Capitol, Alma becomes the "interim" president of Panem and proposes
a final Hunger Games with the Capitol children as tributes. She is publicly
killed by Katniss at President Snow's execution after Katniss concludes that
 Coin was responsible for the bombing that proved fatal to Primrose and many
Capitol children.
 Boggs is first introduced as President Coin's right-hand man. At first,
Katniss writes him off as someone she will dislike due to his close association
with Coin. However, he is shown to be honest, witty, and friendly, and Katniss
learns to trust him. He serves as Katniss' bodyguard for part of Mockingjay and
is assigned to Squad 451 along with Katniss, Gale, and Finnick. He accidentally
steps on a land mine on a Capitol street that the Holo did not detect. When his
legs are blown off, the squad drags him into an apartment, where he gives
Katniss his Holo and tells her to complete her "mission", to not trust "them"
(whom this is referring to is unclear), and to kill Peeta. He dies soon afterward.
 Leeg 1 and Leeg 2 are sisters who were born in District 13 and placed in the
sharpshooting Star Squad to assist Katniss in her final mission. They are said to
look almost completely alike. Since everyone is addressed as "Soldier", they
are distinguished by 1 and 2. Four days after arriving in the Capitol, Leeg 2 is
the first to be killed in the Star Squad. She dies after a metal dart, shot out of an
incorrectly labelled pod, hits her in the temple. Leeg 1 continues through to the
Capitol's underground until she is killed when Katniss discovers that Leeg 1
and Jackson chose to stay at a pod called the Meat Grinder, to hold back the
lizard muttations. In the films, their deaths are modified; the two die together
after Leeg 1 chooses to stay with Leeg 2, who is injured in a landmine trap, as
the building they are in is destroyed by the Peacekeepers.
 Mitchell, Jackson, and Homes are part of Katniss's sharpshooting team, the
Star Squad; they are all killed in the war. Mitchell is kicked into a net of barbed
wire by a raging Peeta and subsequently killed by a black tar-like substance.
Jackson, second in command after Boggs in the Star Squad, stays behind to
hold back the muttations, along with Leeg 1, presumably resulting in their
deaths. Homes is presumed to have been decapitated by the lizard muttations,
along with Finnick and Castor.
 Dr. Aurelius is a doctor from District 13. He takes care of Katniss during
her time in District 13 and heads the study on Peeta's hijacking. He is also
Katniss's doctor/therapist after Prim's death (however, he generally sleeps
during their sessions unless she feels like talking, which suits them both). He
serves as a witness in Katniss's defense during her trial for the killing of Coin
and states Katniss is mentally unstable. Dr. Aurelius does not appear in the film
series.
 Dalton is a man from District 10 who made it to District 13 on foot years
before the series takes place. He makes his first appearance in Mockingjay in
District 13. He conducts Annie and Finnick's wedding because it was close to
the ceremony that is in his district
