He is highly intelligent and is always thoughtful, balancing Katniss' impulsiveness. He is also known for his kindness and generosity. His skills include physical strength, personal charm and charisma, public speaking, baking, and painting. Peeta is the baker's son and lives with 2 older brothers, a quiet father, and a strict disciplinarian mother. 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 Mellark is a male tribute from District 12 in both the 74th and 75th Hunger Games. When she does finally have children they are a girl and a boy, named Willow and Rye, respectively. She marries him, but it is fifteen years until she is ready to have children. Peeta's return draws her out of the depression, and she finally realizes she is in love with him. She is deemed not mentally responsible and returns to District 12, suffering trauma and suicidal depression. When finally given the chance to execute Snow, Katniss kills Coin instead. 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. As the war progresses, she comes to realize the rebel leader, President Alma Coin, is no less ruthless and power-driven than Snow. Despite the intent of her limited role as a propagandist, she is drawn into combat by her obsession to kill Snow. She becomes the Mockingjay, an inspirational symbol of a second civil war against the Capitol. In the third installment, she is caught in a love triangle with Gale (her childhood friend) and Peeta. 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. While in the games she begins to realize her feelings for Peeta. 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. 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. She survives the game along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark, who is in love with her. 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. Her favorite color is green, (as she told Peeta when he offered friendship to her) because of her familiarity with the forest. 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. She was named for an aquatic plant with edible underwater tubers by her father, who jokingly said that “If you can find yourself, you’ll never be hungry.” She lives with her mother and younger sister, Primrose Everdeen (nicknamed "Prim"). She has long dark hair (hers is 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". She is 16 years old at the beginning of the first book and is quiet, independent, and fierce. Katniss Everdeen, known as "the girl on fire", is the main protagonist in the Hunger Games.
