Katniss Everdeen

Katniss Everdeen is the protagonist of The Hunger Games series, known for her sharp wit, resourcefulness, and strength. She is a survivor, skilled in archery, hunting, and foraging, attributes gained from her life in the destitute District 12. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she volunteers as tribute to save her younger sister, Prim, in the annual Hunger Games. Katniss's empathy and moral complexity drive her decisions, which often set her against the corrupt Capitol. She is fiercely loyal to her family, her mentor Haymitch Abernathy, and her fellow tribute Peeta Mellark, with whom she develops a complex romantic relationship. She dislikes the Capitol's authority and the harsh realities of her society that demand children to fight for their lives.
