Katniss Everdeen

She is a fictional character and the protagonist of The Hunger Games trilogy written by American author Suzanne Collins. Her name comes from a plant with edible tubers called Sagittaria (katniss), from Sagittarius the Archer, whose name means He that throws arrows in Latin. She is portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence in the film adaptations The Hunger GamesThe Hunger Games: Catching FireThe Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2.

Katniss and her family come from District 12, a coal-mining district that is the poorest, least populated, and smallest district in the dystopian fictional autocratic nation of Panem, ruled by the Capitol. In the course of the first book, The Hunger Games, Katniss competes in the Hunger Games after she is allowed to volunteer in place of her little sister, Primrose “Prim” Everdeen.

While in the arena, Katniss forms an alliance with Rue, the young female tribute from District 11, as she reminds Katniss of her sister. After Rue is killed by a career Tribute named Marvel, Katniss sings her a lullaby and covers her body in flowers. Later, District 11 shows solidarity with Katniss over Rue’s death and gifts her bread shaped like a moon and covered in seeds. Katniss then forms an alliance with her fellow District 12 tribute, Peeta, and grows close to him. The two eventually make it to the finale of the games, where they become the victors after defying the Capitol’s attempt to force one to kill the other.

Throughout the next two novels, Catching Fire and Mockingjay, Katniss becomes a galvanizing symbol of rebellion against the oppressive Capitol. After said rebellion is victorious, Katniss chooses not to execute President Snow; she instead shoots Alma Coin, the corrupt leader of the thought-destroyed District 13, leaving President Snow’s cause of death ambiguous. She later begins a family with Peeta in the now peaceful Panem, reflecting that “there are much worse games to play.”

Personality

Collins has described Katniss as being an independent, strong survivalist, lethal, but good at thinking outside the box. Katniss’s past hardships (her father’s death, mother’s depression, and near starvation) have made her a survivor, and she will endure hardship and hard work to preserve her own life and the life of her family. She states nice people are the most dangerous because they get inside of her and they could hurt her badly when she least expected it.

She has shown she will protect those she loves, no matter the cost to herself, as shown when she volunteers for the Games to save her little sister Prim, when she shields Gale to keep him from being whipped (even when it means a lash for herself), and when she stoically decides during her second Games to die to save Peeta. Because the majority of her time before the Games was spent keeping herself and her family alive, she does not understand many social cues and is often ignorant of other people’s emotions, such as when she doesn’t recognize Gale’s hints at his growing affection for her, or when she fails to realize that she and Madge Undersee are actually close friends.

She has no experience with romance or love other than that of her family and doesn’t believe she wants it and never actually understands Peeta was telling the truth when he declared his love for her in the pre-game interview until after the games itself. Also has large trust issues and does not trust anyone. She plans never to be married nor have children that would grow up subject to the Reaping.

She quickly adapts to the “kill or be killed” philosophy of the games and coldly considers how she will kill her fellow competitors during the first Games, at one point rationalizing she is already a killer due to her hunting experience, though she is briefly disturbed after her first direct kill, Marvel.

By the end of the first Games, she is prepared to shoot Cato and attempts to do so only to be interrupted by Peeta being attacked by the mutations. Despite her cold-bloodedness, she is nonetheless extremely relieved at not having to kill her allies Rue and Peeta. As the series progresses, however, she becomes increasingly cold-blooded, to the point where she objectively discusses how to kill everyone (but Peeta) involved in her second Hunger Games in Catching Fire (though she ultimately has to kill only one combatant), and by the third novel is depicted killing an unarmed female civilian during a mission, with apparent remorse.

In Catching Fire, Katniss struggles to understand Panem’s political issues as she has had very little education or experience with politics because of her background and lack of interest in it. She also gradually realizes there are more important things than survival and decides she is willing to die for Peeta and the rebellion cause.

Character Profile: Katniss Everdeen

Katniss Everdeen is the main protagonist and the narrator of the Hunger Games trilogy portrayed on film by Jennifer Lawrence.   She exhibits the characteristics of athleticism, strength, courage, prowess with weaponry, and cool-headed reasoning.

Katniss is a turtle (introverted type). [Review Personality Traits] She enjoys her solitude, preferring time alone in the woods to crowds and prolonged social interaction and  she spends a lot of time inside her head associating objects or settings with memories and impressions—she thinks about Peeta as “the boy with the bread,” and Prim with her duck-tailed blouse.

She doesn’t like being the center of attention and hates being on display in front of a crowd, as evident during her Capitol interview.  Haymitch tries to teach Katniss how to speak in front of the crowd during her interview with Caesar Flickerman. However, fails saying she has the charm of a dead slug.

Katniss is an eagle eye (sensing type). She is a realist not a dreamer. When Gale and Peeta have visions of rebellion, Katniss brings them back to reality. Peeta: “I just keep wishing I could think of a way to show them that they don’t own me. If I’m gonna die, I wanna still be me. Does it make any sense?” Katniss: “Yeah. I just can’t afford to think like that”.  Katniss is also keenly aware of her surroundings and has a great memory for factual detail.

Her father had long ago told her about night lock berries. “Not these, Katniss. Never these. They’re night lock. You’ll be dead before they reach your stomach.  When Peeta mistakes them for edible berries Katniss stopped him from eating any, remembering her father’s exact words.

Katniss is a pointy head (thinking type). Never warm and sociable, Haymitch tries to coach Katniss on winning friends, telling her, “You really wanna know how to stay alive? You get people to like you. … And right now, sweetheart, you’re not off to a real good start.” Katniss is always practical and matter of fact.  She is resourceful and clever, a strategic thinker, and able to quickly develop plans for survival.  As her family’s main provider, she prioritizes efficiency and practical utility.

Katniss is a hippie (perceiving type). She’s adaptable, quick on her feet and cool in the face of danger. She is also highly adept at the use of tools, a sure sign of an eagle-eyed hippie.

Character traits in Mockingjay : Katniss Everdeen

 

A strong, resourceful, and principled young woman who is the protagonist of Mockingjay and the other books of the Hunger Games Trilogy. In this novelKatniss Everdeen struggles with her role as the Mockingjay—the symbol and mascot of the rebel cause. She agrees to take up the role, not only because she hates President Coriolanus Snow, the leader of the government of Panem, but also because she wants to protect her friends and family, and so uses her position to bargain for their safety.

As Katniss proceeds with her duties as Mockingjay—visiting the districts of Panem, making propaganda videos, etc. She comes to a number of disturbing conclusions about the leaders of the rebellion; that, they are using her just as Snow did, and are just as power-hungry as Snow himself. Ultimately, Katniss rejects the Mockingjay role that the rebels have designed for her, and she kills Coin and retreats from the public sphere for good. In this way, she turns her back on the cycle of violence, bloodshed, and revenge celebrated by Coin and the other rebels.
