The main protagonist of the franchise, Katniss Everdeen is a resident of District 12 which lives in poverty. She lives with her mother and twelve-year-old sister.

Peeta is chosen as the male tribute from District ...

District 12 has never had a winner since Haymitch, and he suffers from a kind of PTSDfrom his...
Effie Trinket is an administrator from the Capitol and one of the more complex characters in the franchise. Her role as an escort of the tributes leads her to being one of the central advisors and public relations persons for Katniss and Peeta. Effie, in some ways, represents everything that is hated about the Capitol. She's prim and proper, dresse...
Cinna is the personal stylist assigned to Katniss when she has to get ready for the public relations campaigns for her part in the Hunger Games. While his job was to create a fashionable look for her, he takes this role more seriously as he also uses it as a means of creating a persona around her that people can rally around. Cinna is easily one of...
As the President of Panem, Coriolanus Snow is the ruler of the Capitol and the main antagonist of the franchise.

Given that Katniss sp...
Caesar Flickerman is the host for all the televised portions of the Hunger Games. He's a member of the Capitol but usually cuts a somewhat likable figure since he's a consummate talk show host who always plays to the camera. He treats Katniss, Peeta, and all the tributes respectfully, and even goads people like Katniss out of their shells in order ...

As the lead designer and director of the games, Seneca is in charge of how the arena will look, what obstacles it will have, and can order changes as the contestants are competing. Rel...
Rue is something of a tragic figure from the franchise. Playing a major part in the first book and film, she is one of the tributes from District 11. She is 12-years-old and therefore at an immediate disadvantage due to her age and size compared to other contestants. Despite this, she proves very smart and manages to outwit many of the older contes...
