Former District Twelve Residents

Katniss Everdeen

The trilogy’s protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, who has survived two trips into an arena where she thought she would face her death, only to make it out alive on both occasions, is now Soldier Everdeen to those in District Thirteen, her new home since her previous home, District Twelve, has been destroyed. The seventeen year-old master of archery has fought her way into a dangerous situation with both President Snow and President Coin. As the Mockingjay, she’s in the middle of the two power-hungry presidents and, on top of that, she has a best friend with feelings for her that he’s making well known and a fellow former tribute who’s been taken to a dangerous place and she just wants him back. At some point, she’ll have to make a choice between them.

Peeta Mellark

Peeta Mellark, the boy with the bread, Katniss’s once savior has been taken hostage by the Capitol after the blowout ending of the 75th Hunger Games, the Third Quarter Quell. Beaten and bloody, he’s forced to take the stage against District Thirteen and Katniss, the girl with whom he’s been in love for the last twelve years. After giving warning to District Thirteen of a planned attack, he is “hijacked” by the capitol. This is the worst form of torture that the capitol has to offer. Those in District Thirteen are informed upon his rescue from that capitol that all of his fond memories of Katniss have been turned to fear and he longs to kill her, to slaughter the girl from his nightmarish fake memories. Somehow, he has to force back these memories if he’s going to help District Thirteen take down the Capitol.

Gale Hawthorne

Gale Hawthorne, who spent the last few years in the woods surrounding District Twelve, is now living in District Thirteen with the other survivors of the capitol’s attack on his former home. Here, he is known as Soldier Hawthorne and is a high enough official to have his own Communicuff. In District Thirteen, he works with Beetee to develop weapons and traps for the war against the Capitol. He puts his knowledge of snares and basic instincts to good use as he designs deadly traps, almost like human snares, for the rebellion to use against the oppressive capitol. He states that he’s following the same rule book as President Snow while making these weapons, whether it’s cruel or not.

Primrose Everdeen

Primrose Everdeen, Katniss’s little sister with the duck-tailed blouse has come a long way and matured a lot since her name was drawn in the reaping over a year before. Even so, she still loves Buttercup just as much as ever; she even risks her life to make sure that the cat is safe when the warning comes in from Peeta about the upcoming attack on District Thirteen. In her new home of District Thirteen, Prim is studying to be a doctor and she, along with her mother, tends to the patients, mostly those injured through war efforts. However, as grown up as she may have become and as much good as she’s doing by saving lives, it may not be the safest place for the duck-tailed girl with the golden locks.

Haymitch Abernathy

Haymitch Abernathy, known by all of Panem for his drunken head dive off of the reaping stage in Katniss’s first trip to the Hunger Games, is now living in District Thirteen as well. He helped with the escape from the Third Quarter Quell and he doesn’t much enjoy his time in District Thirteen because he doesn’t have access to his precious liquor. Throughout Mockingjay, he and Katniss are generally at odds with one another due to the fact that he wants what’s best for the country and he wants her to do as she’s told, whereas Katniss likes to play by her own rules and tends to follow her gut instincts and acts on her own orders.

After enough threats, he manages to do his job and reign her in enough to get her to go along with him…for the most part. As the winner of the Second Quarter Quell, Haymitch has his own score to settle with the Capitol, but he still has a heart beneath the toughened skin the Hunger Games gave him and he remains a good mentor to Katniss through everything.

Buttercup

Buttercup is Prim’s cat from her days in District Twelve. He was left behind when the Capitol attacked and Katniss found him in their untouched house in the Victor’s Village. Wary of Katniss as always, he refused to go near her at first, but gave in once she mentioned Prim. She stuffed him away in her game bag and returned him to her sister in District Thirteen where he was happy to be back with the girl who had once rescued him as a mangy kitten.

Mrs. Everdeen

Katniss’s mom also escapes to District Thirteen after the District Twelve attack. Here, she works as a healer, putting the vast knowledge of plants and natural healing to use on the war victims. In the end, she remains in District Thirteen because she thinks that returning to District Twelve would be too painful.

Greasy Sae

Greasy Sae managed to escape from District Twelve with Gale and the others and she works as the cook in District Thirteen.

She is a cruel woman and she doesn’t even want to let Peeta live if they win the war, but Katniss negotiates to keep him and the other captive victors safe. She doesn’t even care whether or not Katniss makes it through the war once Katniss has successfully rallied the other districts to be a part of the rebellion because she doesn’t feel that Katniss has any more of a purpose other than to die and become a martyr to drive the rebellion further.

Fulvia Cardew

Fulvia Cardew is Plutarch’s assistant and she’s always at his side. Originally from the Capitol, she is naturally quite wasteful and she is given extremely dirty looks when she throws away a piece of paper.
