Primrose Everdeen

Primrose "Prim" Everdeen is Katniss Everdeen's sister. Very much unlike her older sibling, Prim has a heart full of compassion and for healing.

Early Life
Not to much is known about Prim's early life, but we do know of several hints and peices that Katniss tells of in her narration.

It's quite obvious from the beginning that Prim loves all living creatures. Right in the first chapter of The Hunger Games, you met one of her hideous pets. Katniss explains quiet confidently that the cat-named Buttercup- is definately a creature you would not want to come across on a dark night. When Primrose brought the poor cat home, Katniss tried to drown it right away. Of course, Prim would not hear of it. She refused to let the cat be drowned, and became it's faithfull gaurdian throughout the book. It would take only a devote lover of life to care for that thing.

Prim's faith for healing shows quite strong a few years before. It was night, and Prim, Katniss, and their mother where asked to care for a sick relative of another Seam family. The man they where caring for had no hope, and was grusomely ill and feverish. Katniss admits that the sight of the dying man lying their on the table frightend her, and she ran out of the house to hunt. But Prim faithfully stayed by her mothers side, mixing medicines and potions together, adding herbs to wounds, fervently trying to heal him.
