Katniss Everdeen - The narrator of the story and the female tribute from District 12. At age 16, Katniss volunteers to enter the 74th Hunger Games after her sister, Primrose, is chosen to be a tribute. Her father, a coal miner, died in a mine explosion; since then, Katniss has become the primary supporter of her mother and younger sister. She gets food by hunting illegally in the forest outside District 12. Because of this, Katniss has strong survivalist instincts and is a wonderful archer. Katniss has straight long black hair, which she normally pulls back into a long braid, olive skin, and gray eyes. She is also known as "the girl who was on fire" during The Hunger Games; she earned this title from her fierce personality and the outfits created for her by her stylist, Cinna.

Collins has described Katniss as being an independent survivalist, lethal, but good at thinking outside the box.[5] Katniss's past hardships (her father's death, mother's depression, and near starvation) have made her a natural Survivor, and she will endure hardship and hard work to preserve her own life and the life of her family. 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, or when she shields Gale to keep him from being whipped, even when it meant a lash for herself. 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. She has no experience with romance or love other than that of her family, and doesn't believe she wants it. She plans never to be married nor have children that would grow up subject to the reaping. In Catching Fire, Katniss struggles to understand Panem political issues as she has had very little education or experience of politics.[6] She also gradually realizes that there are more important things than survival and decides she is willing to die for Peeta and the rebellion.
