List of characters in The Hunger Games trilogy

The following is a list of characters in The Hunger Games trilogy.

The Hunger Games

 * Katniss Everdeen — The story's narrator, and district 12's female tribute, a strong-willed teenager trying to survive in the Hunger Games. She promises her sister she will win the games, which she later does.She later is captured by the rebels and becomes their mockingjay.
 * Peeta Mellark — The second District 12 tribute, a baker's son. He is loyal and brave, and will do whatever he needs to for Katniss to survive, for he has been in love with Katniss since they were five. Katniss, however, has to act like she's in love with him in order to keep both of them alive. Peeta is described as being tall, strongly built and blond.
 * Cinna — Katniss's stylist. A sly and witty man, Cinna is clever with his fingers and even smarter in his mind. He's the most normal person Katniss met that was from the Capitol.
 * Rue — The tribute from District 11. Small and meek, you wouldn't assume that she could last long- but her knowledge of trees and how to hide keeps her alive. She warns Katniss about the tracker jacker hive, and they later become allies. Rue has dark skin and is most likely African American.
 * Cato — District 2 tribute. Described as a "ruthless killing machine", he is extremely strong and the most likely choice of a winner. He, Katniss, and Peeta were the last three tributes to face the muttated dogs with the other tribute's eyes.
 * Clove — The female tribute from District 2. She is very skilled in knife throwing, as she was the one who killed the male tribute from District 9. She was the fifth person and went to the "feast" having Cato guarding her.
 * Foxface — Known by no other name, this red-head from District 5 is hard to catch. Though she doesn't have brute strength or knowledge of weapons, she can outsmart everyone in the arena.
 * Thresh — The male tribute from District 11 who keeps to himself. He disappeared during the first part of the game. This made him even more dangerous. He spared Katniss's life because she gave a dying tribute to Rue.
 * Glimmer — The Female tribute from District 1, she was beautiful and described as downright sexy. She was part of the career pack.
 * Marvel — The male tribute from District 1, he was strong and ruthless. He killed Rue, the District 11 tribute by throwing a spear through her stomach.
 * Haymitch — Katniss and Peeta's mentor. Dangerous and cunning, Haymitch was mostly drunk, with a glass in one hand and knife in the other. He promised he would sober up long enough for Katniss and Peeta to play the games and help them. He sends Katniss gifts throughout the games to help her survive. He won during the second Quarter Quell where double the tributes were required.
 * Gale — The best friend of Katniss, she and Gale met when she was only twelve and he was fourteen and both of their fathers died in the same mining explosion. Gale hunts with Katniss in the forest, usually everyday but in Catching Fire, he only hunts with her on Sundays (before the 24 hour electric fence arrives). Gale calls Katniss "Catnip."
 * Primrose Everdeen — The female sibling of Katniss Everdeen whom owns a goat, and a cat named Buttercup. Very much unlike her older sibling, Prim has a heart full of compassion and for healing. Named after the Evening Primrose according to Mockingjay.

Catching Fire

 * Katniss Everdeen — returns as the narrator and the main character for the second installment, facing new challenges. She is forced to show that she is in love with Peeta, and her desperate action at the end of the first Games was an act of mindless love. Unfortunately, she supposedly fails President Snow's inspection and is forced to get married to Peeta. But when she is forced to compete in the 75th Hunger Games, Cinna dresses her in her wedding dress for her interview, but because of his alterations, it burned and turned her into a human mockingjay. Katniss battles with her devotion to Peeta versus Gale, and remains undecided.


 * Peeta Mellark — Katniss's sixteen-year-old fellow tribute, who has now become her fiance. Peeta volunteers to take Haymitch's place in the Quarter Quell, wanting to keep Katniss alive. During the Quell, Peeta runs into a force field and his heart stops, but his ally Finnick Odair restarts it by using CPR. Peeta is among those captured by the Capitol at the end.


 * Haymitch Abernathy — Katniss and Peeta's guide in The Hunger Games. Has an addiction to alcohol, and gets drunk to escape the world around him. He was the only living victor in District 12 before Katniss and Peeta. Haymitch is their mentor throughout The Hunger Games and Catching Fire. He is the one that sends the gifts from sponsors as well.


 * Gale Hawthorne — Katniss's best friend and hunting partner in District 12. He is nineteen years old, fiercely hates the Capitol, and wishes to start an uprising as the people of District 8 did. Katniss must pretend that they are cousins to keep him alive, or President Snow could order to have him killed.


 * President Snow — The President of Panem. He speaks to Katniss face-to-face for the first time at the beginning of Catching Fire. President Snow is described as having very puffy lips which was most likely from an appearance altering operation that is very popular in the Capitol. Katniss describes him as having a smell of blood and roses in his breath.


 * Finnick Odair — The male tribute from District 4. He won the 65th Hunger Games by using a trident against other tributes; District 4's trade is fishing. Finnick is described as being very handsome. During the Quarter Quell, a jabberjay recording of his girlfriend, Annie, tortures him in the Games.

 * Mags — The female tribute from District 4. She is around 80 years old and volunteered to take the place of a young woman, Annie Cresta, to spare her. Mags is one of the first people Katniss wants for an ally, along with Beetee and Wiress. Katniss observed that she can make a fishing hook out of anything. Unfortunately, while the group are trying to escape poison fog, Mags gives herself up without a question so Finnick could carry wounded Peeta to safety.


 * Johanna Mason — The female tribute from District 7. She won an earlier Hunger Games by pretending she was a weakling until there were only a handful of tributes left, then showing that she could kill viciously. Katniss remembers watching these Games herself, so Johanna is fairly young. Johanna was captured by the Capitol at the end, along with Peeta and Enobaria.


 * Beetee — The male tribute from District 3. He is very skilled with a wire, which he uses to blow up the arena's forcefield, and joins Katniss at the end on the way to District 13.


 * Wiress — The female tribute from District 3. Wiress often doesn't finish her sentences; Beetee often finishes them for her. Though very smart and able to figure out that the Quarter Quell arena acted like a clock, the male tribute from District 1, Gloss, slit her throat.


 * Enobaria — The female tribute from District 2. She is famous for ripping tribute's throats out with her teeth during Games that she won. She is a threat in the arena and is later captured by the Capitol along with Peeta and Johanna.


 * Cinna — Katniss's stylist, who risks his life to turn the wedding dress President Snow forced her to wear into a mockingjay outfit. He is captured at the beginning of the Quarter Quell. It is believed that he died during interrogation.
