Gale Hawthorne

As a minor character in the Hunger Games, Gale appears only in the beginning as Katniss Everdeen's best friend.

Personality
Fun loving, Gale enjoys a good laugh now and then. It seems as though he is quick to anger, but works on controlling it, based on his encounter with Madge Undersee. Even though he is in the book for a short time, his hatred for The Capitol is shown boldly. He'll rant about the Capitol and District 12 and everything he can think of out in the woods, where no-one can hear him.

Family and Personal Life
Gale looks out for his five siblings and mother alone. His father died in the same mine accident as Katniss's father did. Katniss and her family are just like family to him, as they look out for each other and share many things in common.

Description
Just like Katniss and everyone else in the Seam, he has black hair and olive skin and share's Katniss's grey eyes. Strong and good looking, girls flock to him- though he doesn't have a interest in any of them.
