Katniss Everdeen
Katniss Everdeen was born on May 8th, in District 12 and has been independent and feeding her family ever since she was eleven, after her father died due to a mine explosion. She resents her mother for succumbing to the depression caused by Mr. Everdeen's death, which left her unable to care for Katniss and her sister Prim.
Katniss was close to her father and spent time with him in the forbidden woods. She was taught by her father how to use the bow, which has been very useful to her during the Games as well as bringing food in their table by selling what she caught at the Hob, the black market of District 12.
At the age of 16, Katniss' name was entered 20 times into the reaping, due to the fact that she had taken out so many tesserae (food ration contaning grain and oil) for Prim, her mother, and herself. At that time, she volunteers to take Prim's place as the girl tribute of District 12 for the 74th Hunger Games alongside Peeta Mellark, who saved her life as well as her family from starvation.
Katniss has a very beautiful voice, in which she inherited from her late father.
She is an experienced hunter, with bow and arrows as her ultimate weapon.
Katniss has strong survivalist instincts due to her difficult past.
Katniss has straight long black hair, which she normally pulls back into a long braid, beautiful olive skin, and gray eyes.
She is small in stature and light for her age, being one of the smallest tributes in her games, but due to her outdoor life, she is strong for her size.
She is also known as "the girl on fire" during the Hunger Games; she earns this title from her fierce personality and the outfits created for her by her stylist, Cinna.
Katniss is very strong, stubborn and determined. Often, she will react first and ask questions later.
Katniss is slow towards relationships, not knowing about Gale's feelings for her and failing to recognize Peeta's.
Katniss was married to Peeta Mellark, having two kids. One was a boy with blonde hair like Peeta's and the other was a girl who has her dark hair.
Jennifer Lawrence will portray Katniss in the movie adaptation of the Hunger Games.

Peeta's favorite color is orange, like the color of the sunset.
Peeta's main talents are baking, painting, speaking, camouflage and brute strength.
