History Characters / TheHungerGamesFilmPastTributes

* NiceGuy: ''By far'' one of the least flawed and generally likable people in [[CrapsackWorld Panem]] whom we meet. It may seem odd at first because career tributes are typically portrayed in a more negative light, but Katniss eventually comes to realize that they are just pawns like everyone else in the Capitol's sadistic and varied games of control.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mags_4260.jpg]]

* HiddenDepths: Much, much more subtle than with Finnick, due her to comparative lack of attention (and [[UnreliableNarrator Katniss's initial dislike of her]]), but lines like "There's no one left that I love" have been fueling fanficcers ever since. She herself sheds a bit of light on this, when Katniss asks her point-blank why Johanna hates her so much, and she points out just how much special privilege Katniss gets for being the face of the rebellion, while Johanna has gone through ordeals just as bad or worse just to make sure Katniss was ''alive'' to be that face.
* InformedAttribute: Her intelligence and coldness was what made her win the games, but we never actually have the chance to see her use her wit (however, we do see her killing skills).

* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Finnick, to the point that Katniss initially thinks that Finnick is the only reason Johanna agrees to an alliance.

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: In the movie this is PlayedForLaughs without any shame.
** [[MaleGaze Peeta and Haymitch can't stop glancing at her,]] but what really makes it hilarious is [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/618d08d462dbd297d6f2b7c51638e59c/tumblr_mwuushzl0d1qgl39lo1_250.gif Katniss' expression.]]
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Again, how she won her Games. She appeared so weak and harmless that everyone pretty much left her alone. Then she started kicking ass.

* LegacyCharacter: Sorta, the female, like Foxface, survived the bloodbath, whist her male counterpart didn't.

!!District 6 Morphlings

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Despite not being seen much, Haymitch must have known that they could protect Katniss and Peeta throughout the quell.]]
* KnifeNut: Cecelia's knack for throwing knives scores her a 9.
* NiceGirl: Cecelia is described as being kind and motherly, which made Katniss want to be her ally.
* RedHerring: Played out to be important characters, but they die in the bloodbath.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Both were killed in the bloodbath.

* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Were dressed as BREAD, of all things, at the chariot rides. Justified as their district is grain. Averted in the film where they were gold-colored clothing to inspire a grain design.

* SkunkStripe

* TwoFirstNames
* WillNotBeAVictim

* NoNameGiven

* ShellShockedVeteran: To varying degrees. How would ''you'' react if you live well, despite knowing you only got that far due to 23 (or in Haymitch's case, 47) other kids dying (some of which you watched die or killed yourself)? For bonus points, ThereAreNoTherapists.

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Enobaria isn't mentioned in Mockingjay, with the implication being that she was killed.]]

* InSeriesNickname: Called "Nuts," Wiress, and "Volts," Beetee, by Johanna.

* AntiVillain: A "villain in name only" type. He only seems to be potentially villainous to Katniss at first because he's a Career, but he's actually not that bad of a guy.

* SoHappyTogether: [[spoiler:Gets to marry Annie and then gets to die.]]

* StarCrossedLovers: While Katniss and Peeta are actually an aversion, Finnick and Annie play this straight. They're not allowed to be together because he's far too attractive for Snow to be able to resist turning him into a sex slave and she is too mentally unstable to be considered a suitable partner for him in public. [[spoiler:Once they are both in District Thirteen they are able to get married but they only have a short time together before he leaves to fight in the Capitol which leads to his death.]]
* SurvivalMantra: Non-verbal example: his constant knotting in the third book.

* {{Tykebomb}}: He'd qualify just for being a Career, but while most Careers volunteer at 18, Finnick is specifically singled out for winning his Games at '''14'''. In the books, Katniss says that he's one of the youngest victors ever; in the film, Haymitch says he is ''the'' youngest ever, straight-up.

* WartimeWedding: [[spoiler:With Annie in ''Mockingjay''. It ends tragically when he leaves [[{{Retirony}} shortly after]] only to die.]]

* FamedInStory: As all victors are.
* FreakOut: The loss of her mental stability began when she saw her district partner [[OffWithHisHead beheaded]] right in front of her, and it's only gone downhill from there.
* GreenEyes: They're described as sea-green, like Finnick's.

* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: [[spoiler:In the epilogue, we find out that Annie has given birth to Finnick's son.]]
* StarCrossedLovers: While Katniss and Peeta are actually an aversion, Finnick and Annie play this straight. They're not allowed to be together because he's far too attractive for Snow to be able to resist turning him into a sex slave and she is too mentally unstable to be considered a suitable partner for him in public. Once they are both in District Thirteen [[spoiler:they are able to get married but they only have a short time together before he leaves to fight in the Capitol, which leads to his death.]]
* WartimeWedding: [[spoiler:With Finnick in ''Mockingjay.'']]

* TheLoad: She is literally The Load in ''Catching Fire'', as she is an elderly stroke victim whom Finnick carries around in the arena. She was his mentor, and volunteered as tribute to save his love, Annie. [[spoiler:She eventually gives up her own life by walking into a poisonous fog, so that Finnick will turn his efforts to protecting Katniss]].

* TheVoiceless: In the film. She speaks in the book, but her speech is nearly unintelligible and Katniss speculates that she may have had a stroke at some point.

* BoyishShortHair: In the books, representing her tough and haughty personality. Averted in the film.

* ConsummateLiar: Besides her strategy in her original Games, let's take a look at her (book) interview before the Quell. She gets up on stage and talks about the '''love''' between the victors and the Capitol. If that's not a lie, coming from ''her...''

* EarlyBirdCameo: She's named and mentioned in the first book, where Katniss recounts how she won her Games.

* HatesBaths: Katniss notes in "''Mockingjay''" that Johanna never seems to shower. [[spoiler:Turns out she was tortured by being soaked in water and then given electrical shocks.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Katniss in "Mockingjay".

* NakedOnArrival: Not exactly, but the first thing she does on-page is complain about her costume and strip down to her slippers. And then get in an elevator with Katniss and Peeta, chatting casually the whole way up.

* TraumaticHaircut: The implied reason why she's bald in ''Mockingjay''.

* TwoFirstNames
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Water]]: [[spoiler:In ''Mockingjay'', after going through torture at the hands of the Capitol by being soaked and then shocked, she has a fear of water]].

* CombatPragmatist: How he manages to survive the Hunger Games. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, President Snow doesn't put up with it.]]
* CuttingTheKnot: Spent his Game actually looking for the end of the arena, which probably inspired [[spoiler:the escape plan]] in Catching Fire.

* {{Determinator}}: The description of him winning his games involves him outrunning someone trying to kill him while physically holding his stomach to keeps his guts from falling out.
* DrowningMySorrows: Unable to cope with the emotional fallout of having been a tribute in the Games and subsequently having to lead fresh tributes to the slaughter, he dives into a bottle. While he seems to recover somewhat during the course of series, by the end of ''Mockingjay'' he's as much of a hopeless drunk as he ever was.

* GeniusBruiser: In his games he ultimately won by using a quirk of the arena against his enemies, but until then he got by largely by sheer ass-kicking ability.

* GuileHero: How he won his Game -- which happened to be the Quarter Quell, where there was ''double'' the number of tributes. His tactic was to not only stay away from the majority of the fighting, but [[spoiler:to use the properties of the arena itself as a weapon.]] He imparts the first bit of knowledge to Katniss right before the games begin in earnest (IE: "get the hell away from the cornucopia bloodbath ASAP").

* IWasQuiteALooker: Katniss is discomfited when she watches the video of Haymitch's Game and realizes he was actually pretty handsome.

* KidHeroAllGrownUp: He was a winning tribute of the HungerGames as a teen but has since become a depressed alcoholic, [[spoiler: but eventually returns to heroism as a leader of the rebellion in the final book.]]

* ShipperOnDeck: For Katniss and Peeta. At first it seems like he merely supports the idea of them pretending to have a romance but by the second book he seems to support the pairing for real.

* TheAlcoholic: The male, like Haymitch and Chaff, was an alcoholic.

* BabiesEverAfter: After Cecelia won her games, she had three kids who were seen being torn from her embrace at her reaping.

* TooStupidToLive: Woof tries to eat poisonous bugs in the training center. Justified due to him being senile.

->'''Played By:''' Creator//WoodyHarrelson

* {{Troll}}: Her constant stripping off is an attempt at making Katniss feel uncomfortable.

* FamilyOfChoice: With Peeta and Katniss.

[[folder:District 11]]
!!Seeder
->'''Played By:''' Maria Howell

* CoolOldLady: Is said to be older than most of the tributes, like Mags and Woof.
* DemotedToExtra: Is only in one scene in the film, and she doesn't inform Katniss about Rue's family.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: She is killed in the initial brawl at the Cornucopia.

!Other Tributes

[[folder:Chaff]]
!!Chaff
->'''Played By:''' E. Roger Mitchell

* TheAlcoholic: ''Haymitch'' thinks he drinks a lot.
* AnArmAndALeg: Lost his hand during his Games.
* DirtyOldMan: Drunkenly makes out with Katniss. Haymitch and Peeta think this is hilarious, but Katniss doesn't see the funny side.
* DrowningMySorrows: He's a friend of Haymitch's. They both turned to drinking after their Games.
%%* HandicappedBadass
* OnlyFriend: Haymitch.
* RedHerring: Haymitch goes out of his way to introduce Chaff to Katniss, suggests him as an ally, and we see him teasing her the same way her eventual allies, Finnick and Johanna, do. Chaff has absolutely no bearing on the plot despite surviving almost to the end of the Games and dies off-screen with no fanfare.
%%* WeHardlyKnewYe
[[/folder]]

* BadDreams

* BackToBackBadasses: They won consecutive Hunger Games, being the only known siblings to do so.
* BlondesAreEvil: Not evil, per say, they just want to live.
* BrotherSisterTeam: They're siblings who won back-to-back Games. In the film, they are shown training together.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Katniss didn't spend much time with them, and didn't get to know them well.

* BackToBackBadasses: They won consecutive Hunger Games, being the only known siblings to do so.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Katniss didn't spend much time with them, and didn't get to know them well.

* AdaptedOut / DeathByAdaptation: She isn't mentioned in the first ''Mockingjay'' film, implying that she may have died.
* {{Ax Crazy}}
* {{Blood Knight}}: In the film, she shows enthusiasm and gusto for returning into the arena. She's just as upset about it as everyone else, though.
* {{Dark Action Girl}}

* [[ScaryBlackMan Scary Black Woman]] In the films.
* {{Token Evil Teammate}}: [[spoiler:Sorta. While never really on the good guys' ''team,'' she and [[TheOphelia Annie]] are the only Career victors still breathing at the story's end.]]

* BlackAndNerdy: Beetee in the film adaptations.
* TheCracker
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Beetee usually finished Wiress's sentences for her.
* GadgeteerGenius
* HandicappedBadass: In the film version, though his injuries from the Quarter Quell have left him in a wheelchair, he's still every bit the engineering genius, now adding [[TheCracker Systems Cracker]] and Weaponsmith to his list of titles.
* TheLoad: Beetee spends a lot of time in "''Catching Fire''" being carried around by Peeta (and occasionally Finnick). Subverted, though, since it's thanks to him that [[spoiler:they were able to leave the arena at all.]]

* TheSmartGuy

* AmbiguousDisorder: Wiress. She acts a lot like a person with severe autism, but she might just be deeply traumatized - or just generally odd.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Wiress.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: "Tick tock." [[spoiler:The Quarter Quell arena is a clock.]]

* TheLoad: Beetee spends a lot of time in "''Catching Fire''" being carried around by Peeta (and occasionally Finnick). Subverted, though, since it's thanks to him that [[spoiler:they were able to leave the arena at all.]]
* MadnessMantra: Wiress again.
* NonActionGuy: Both Beetee and Wiress.

* PrettyBoy

* ShellShockedVeteran: Averted. Finnick is one of the only victors we meet who seems to be a relatively well adjusted individual. If you're willing to forget the fact he is a ruthless killer, he's actually not too bad a guy at his core. It's justified in that he is a Career, and therefore was not nearly as unprepared for the horror of his games as other victors from say, the lower districts were. [[spoiler:He even seems to handle [[SexSlave what happened after his games relatively well.]]]]
** ZigZagged. His original Games didn't seem to have an impact on him, but he sinks into a terrible depression after Annie is arrested by the Capitol, has trouble focusing on anything, and has a nervous breakdown over what might be happening to her after watching Katniss do the same. He seems relatively able to hold himself together, but it's a fragile thing and he does it mostly for other people's benefit. With Annie gone in "Mockingjay," he's relatively out of it, up until he realizes that he needs to help Katniss hold herself together.

* WeakButSkilled: We never heard of her killing anyone, but she could ''swim,'' so she outlasted everyone when the arena flooded.
** Though it is a safe bet she killed a few tributes before the death of her district partner, given that she was a career tribute.

* DeathSeeker

* HeroicSacrifice: Took Annie's place in the Quarter Quell, knowing that the Games are a death sentence at the best of times. At her age, she doesn't stand a chance. [[spoiler:Then she makes one ''again'' when she walks into the poison fog, since Katniss is injured and Finnick isn't strong enough to carry her and Peeta.]]

* TheLoad: She is literally The Load in ''Catching Fire'', as she is an elderly stroke victim whom Finnick carries around in the arena. She was his mentor, and volunteered as tribute to save his love, Annie. She eventually [[spoiler:gives up her own life by walking into a poisonous fog, so that Finnick will turn his efforts to protecting Katniss]].

* TheAlcoholic

* CatchPhrase: Sweetheart.

* HiddenDepths

* SourOutsideSadInside
* TheStoic
* StoutStrength

* TricksterMentor

** [[{{Fanon}} Generally assumed]] to be the [[spoiler: [[HonoraryUncle Honorary Grandfather]] of the Mellark children in the epilogue.]]. Also somewhat of a meta example as both Lawrence and Hutcherson have referred to Harrelsson as [[HonoraryUncle Uncle Woody]] in interviews.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: The male had to be retrieved in pieces...]]
* FieryRedhead: The female, being the only redhead of all the tributes.

* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: They were dressed in a ridiculous looking cow inspired outfit, with flaming belts, at the chariot rides, which unintentionally appeared as if the cows were broiling themselves. Averted in the movie where they're wearing Greek inspired gowns.
* NoNameGiven
* WeHardlyKnewYe

* RedHerring: Seeder seems important, as she informs Katniss that Rue's family is safe, and Katniss wants her as an ally. However, she is killed at the Cornucopia after being set up as important.

* AnArmAndALeg: Lost his hand during his Games, and refused to have it replaced after his victory.

** IntergenerationalFriendship: Seems to have formed one with Peeta in the days leading up to the Quarter Quell.

Katniss and Peeta's mentor, a participant in the 50th Hunger Games (and 2nd Quarter Quell) and the only surviving victor from District 12 (the other one is dead). His duty is to give them tips on how to survive the arena, arrange deals with sponsors to get them potentially life-saving items, and other things for which you generally would prefer someone to be sober - which unfortunately is not one of Haymitch's better skills.

!!Maysilee Donner
Madge's aunt, and one of Haymitch's district partners during his games [[note]]Since it was a Quarter Quell, the Capitol's gimmick that year was to reap twice as many tributes [[/note]]. Also the original owner of the mockingjay pin.

* AdaptedOut: The film series cut out the mockingjay pin's backstory.
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: She and Mrs. Undersee.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Haymitch finds her just as a flock of sharp-beaked birds are finishing up with ripping out her throat.
* GenerationXerox: She was very close to Katniss's mother, a friendship Katniss and Madge would later replicate.
* PoisonedWeapons: How she got so far during her games; she fought using poison darts. She was good enough with them to be able to kill a Career.

* TragicKeepsake: She was the original owner of the mockingjay pin, which Madge later gives to Katniss as a tribute token. It later graduates to IconOfRebellion.

* DefrostingIceQueen: When she's introduced, she acts as little more than a {{jerkass}}. However, she becomes somewhat nicer later on, as well as more sympathetic, especially when it turns out that [[spoiler:she's one of the tributes in on the operation from District 13 to break out Katniss]].
* DontYouDarePityMe
* EarlyBirdCameo: She's named and mentioned in the first book, where Katniss recounts how she won her Games.
* ElectricTorture: Subjected to this courtesy of the Capitol.
* FamedInStory: Like all other victors.
* {{Foil}}: She's Katniss, if Katniss didn't have a younger sister to care for, right down to being the only female victor in her district. At one point, Katniss wonders if Johanna's treatment of her is what it's like to have an older sister that ''hates'' you.
* GoodIsNotNice: Being on Katniss's side doesn't stop her from being rude, insulting, and harsh.
* HatesBaths: Katniss notes in "''Mockingjay''" that Johanna never seems to shower. [[spoiler:Turns out she was tortured by being soaked in water and then given electrical shocks.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Katniss in "Mockingjay".
* HiddenDepths: Much, much more subtle than with Finnick, due her to comparative lack of attention (and [[UnreliableNarrator Katniss's initial dislike of her]]), but lines like "There's no one left that I love" have been fueling fanficcers ever since. She herself sheds a bit of light on this, when Katniss asks her point-blank why Johanna hates her so much, and she points out just how much special privilege Katniss gets for being the face of the rebellion, while Johanna has gone through ordeals just as bad or worse just to make sure Katniss was ''alive'' to be that face.
* InformedAttribute: Her intelligence and coldness was what made her win the games, but we never actually have the chance to see her use her wit (however, we do see her killing skills).
* JerkassFacade
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* KnightInSourArmor
* [[SirSwearsALot Lady Swears a Lot]]: She dropped the (censored) ClusterFBomb on live TV.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Finnick, to the point that Katniss initially thinks that Finnick is the only reason Johanna agrees to an alliance.
* NakedOnArrival: Not exactly, but the first thing she does on-page is complain about her costume and strip down to her slippers. And then get in an elevator with Katniss and Peeta, chatting casually the whole way up.
** NakedPeopleAreFunny: In the movie this is PlayedForLaughs without any shame.
*** [[MaleGaze Peeta and Haymitch can't stop glancing at her,]] but what really makes it hilarious is [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/618d08d462dbd297d6f2b7c51638e59c/tumblr_mwuushzl0d1qgl39lo1_250.gif Katniss' expression.]]
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Again, how she won her Games. She appeared so weak and harmless that everyone pretty much left her alone. Then she started kicking ass.
* PlotPoweredStamina: Goes nearly two whole days without sleep at the start of [[spoiler:the Quarter Quell.]]
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Usually combined with NakedPeopleAreFunny, playing on the awkwardness or absurdity of the situation.
* SkunkStripe
* TraumaticHaircut: The implied reason why she's bald in ''Mockingjay''.
* {{Troll}}: Her constant stripping off is an attempt at making Katniss feel uncomfortable.
* TwoFirstNames
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Water]]: [[spoiler:In ''Mockingjay'', after going through torture at the hands of the Capitol by being soaked and then shocked, she has a fear of water]].
* WillNotBeAVictim

!!Blight
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blight_5855.jpg]]
The District 7 male for the Quarter Quell. [[spoiler:Part of the alliance to keep Katniss and Peeta alive during the quell.]]

Played by Bobby Jordan.

* DemotedToExtra: While Blight never really was important to the story, his onscreen appearance in the film is only in the interviews, and later in a passing mention by Johanna.
* MeaningfulName / PunnyName: Blight is an illness that afflicts trees.
* MoralityPet: Makes [[AloofDarkHairedGirl Johanna]] show an unusual feeling of sadness and empathy.
* {{Perma Stubble}}: Always seen with his scruffy beard.
* RedHerring: He is made out to be a major player, but later dies offscreen.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Katniss never really gets to meet him. [[spoiler: He is later killed when he ran into the forcefield during the blood rain. Thus, he never had the chance to protect Katniss and Peeta.]]

[[folder: Past Tributes]]

* DwindlingParty: Fifty-nine victors are still alive at the beginning of "Catching Fire." [[spoiler:By the end of the next book, only seven (Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, Johanna, Beetee, Annie, and Enobaria) are left.]]

* {{Zen Survivor}}s: In a degree.

!!Haymitch Abernathy
->''"Remember who the real enemy is."''

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/haymitch_abernathy_promo_305.jpg]]

Katniss and Peeta's mentor, a participant in the 50th Hunger Games (and 2nd Quarter Quell) and the only surviving victor from District 12 (the other one is dead). His duty is to give them tips on how to survive the arena, arrange deals with sponsors to get them potentially life-saving items, and other things for which you generally would prefer someone to be sober - which unfortunately is not one of Haymitch's better skills. [[spoiler:Also turns out to be a key member of LaResistance]].

Creator/WoodyHarrelson plays him in the films.

* AdaptationDyeJob: In the books he's described as dark haired (the "Seam look"), but in the movie he's very blond.
* TheAlcoholic
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Bickers a lot with Katniss and at one point outright tells her he would have rather focused on saving Peeta in the 74th Games but there are also moments that show that him and Katniss care deeply about each other. It's his embrace she throws herself into after winning the Games and in "''Mockingjay''" it's his arms she cries in over [[spoiler:the torture of Peeta]].
* {{Badass}}: In his Hunger Games, he was downright scary, able to take on whole squads of armed careers with a knife and win.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Has a lot of similarities to Katniss. Perversely this often results in them taking out their own self-hatred on each other.
* TheChessmaster: In ''Catching Fire'', [[spoiler:Haymitch helps orchestrate Katniss's escape from the Quarter Quell.]]
* CatchPhrase: Sweetheart.
** "Stay alive."
* CombatPragmatist: How he manages to survive the Hunger Games. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, President Snow doesn't put up with it.]]
* CuttingTheKnot: Spent his Game actually looking for the end of the arena, which probably inspired [[spoiler:the escape plan]] in Catching Fire.
* CynicalMentor: Due to dealing with the trauma from his own games coupled with years and years of watching his charges die in the arena.
* DeadpanSnarker
* {{Determinator}}: The description of him winning his games involves him outrunning someone trying to kill him while physically holding his stomach to keeps his guts from falling out.
* DrowningMySorrows: Unable to cope with the emotional fallout of having been a tribute in the Games and subsequently having to lead fresh tributes to the slaughter, he dives into a bottle. While he seems to recover somewhat during the course of series, by the end of ''Mockingjay'' he's as much of a hopeless drunk as he ever was.
* DrunkenMaster
* FamedInStory: Pretty much the only celebrity District 12 has, until the 74th Games.
* FamilyOfChoice: With Peeta and Katniss.
* GeniusBruiser: In his games he ultimately won by using a quirk of the arena against his enemies, but until then he got by largely by sheer ass-kicking ability.
* GoodFlawsBadFlaws: His alcoholism, which he is able to overcome at several points in the story only to fall back into the bottle later on. [[AluminumChristmasTrees Commonly thought to be a plot hole but many alcoholics do in fact go through periods of complete sobriety followed by periods of constant drinking.]]
* GuileHero: How he won his Game -- which happened to be the Quarter Quell, where there was ''double'' the number of tributes. His tactic was to not only stay away from the majority of the fighting, but [[spoiler:to use the properties of the arena itself as a weapon.]] He imparts the first bit of knowledge to Katniss right before the games begin in earnest (IE: "get the hell away from the cornucopia bloodbath ASAP").
* HiddenDepths
* InsufferableGenius: Back in the day. Still definitely has traces of this attitude but most of it has been beaten out of him.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Katniss and Peeta. He likes Peeta best, but he and Katniss are so alike that he has an easier time understanding (and manipulating) her.
* IWasQuiteALooker: Katniss is discomfited when she watches the video of Haymitch's Game and realizes he was actually pretty handsome.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's jaded and bitter, certainly, but that's because of how many times where he's watched NonActionGuy tributes get blown up. He becomes a lot more helpful when Katniss gets fed up with his bull and proves herself having more than a snowball's chance in hell.
* KidHeroAllGrownUp: He was a winning tribute of the HungerGames as a teen but has since become a depressed alcoholic, [[spoiler: but eventually returns to heroism as a leader of the rebellion in the final book.]]
* KnightInSourArmor: He's one of the most morally upstanding characters in the setting. It's just by the time we first meet him he is so ''utterly'' broken that he just seems to be nothing more than a useless drunkard who couldn't care less about the fate of the kids under his care.
* NailedToTheWagon: Courtesy of Peeta in "Catching Fire" and of District Thirteen in "''Mockingjay''".
* TheNicknamer: Katniss is "sweetheart" and Peeta is "the boy".
* ObfuscatingStupidity: At first Katniss just assumes (like everyone else in her district) that he is nothing but a useless drunkard with no social skills. Then it's revealed that Haymitch is secretly manipulating the events of the quell to aid the rebel cause and is ''no where near'' as stupid or as useless as everyone assumes him to be... while also being a drunkard with no social skills. Although to be fair, both Katniss and Peeta had already begun to realize this. It's the Capitol who (sadly for them) does not.
* TheObiWan: Non-lethal example.
* ParentalSubstitute: For Katniss, although they both seem loathe to admit it, it is certainly there. Peeta [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this by pointing out that how similar the two of them are to each other seems to be the reason they bicker so much.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Katniss and Peeta. At first it seems like he merely supports the idea of them pretending to have a romance but by the second book he seems to support the pairing for real.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: He starts off as this but progresses to CynicalMentor when he discovers that Katniss and Peeta may actually have a fighting chance, and ends up as something of a TeamDad.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: In "''Catching Fire''" he is seen playing chess with Peeta.
* SourOutsideSadInside
* TheStoic
* StoutStrength
* TeamDad: And he is a PapaWolf when you threaten or hurt his two surviving tributes.
* TricksterMentor
* TrueCompanions: With many of the victors but most importantly with Katniss and Peeta.
** [[{{Fanon}} Generally assumed]] to be the [[spoiler: [[HonoraryUncle Honorary Grandfather]] of the Mellark children in the epilogue.]]. Also somewhat of a meta example as both Lawrence and Hutcherson have referred to Harrelsson as [[HonoraryUncle Uncle Woody]] in interviews.
* TryNotToDie: His go-to advice.
* WakeUpFighting: Sleeps with a knife in his hands and if you wake him up you'd best take a step back.
* XanatosSpeedChess: Either plays this or the IndyPloy most days, assuming he's sober.

!!Gloss and Cashmere
The District 1 tributes for the Quarter Quell.
[[quoteright:321:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cashmeregloss_6949.png]]

Played by Alan Richton (Gloss) and Stephanie Leigh Schlund (Cashmere) in the film.

* HelloNurse: Both are described as beautiful.
* SexSlave: [[spoiler:''Mockingjay'' implies that the stunningly beautiful Cashmere was a victim of this, alongside Finnick.]]

!! Brutus
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brutus_9902.jpg]]
The District 2 male tribute for the Quarter Quell.

Played by Bruno Gunn in the film.

* BigBad: Averted. Unlike Cato, Brutus is just another competitor. This is because Katniss has realized that the Careers are pawns in the Capitol's game too, and this time, she has [[PresidentEvil bigger fish to fry.]]
* BloodKnight
* TheBrute

!! Enobaria

The District 2 female tribute for the Quarter Quell.
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/enobaria_75_5636.jpg]]

Played by Meta Golding.

A former victor from District 2 and [[spoiler:commander of the rebellion in District 2.]]

Played by Creator/LilyRabe in Mockingjay Part 1 and Creator/GwendolineChristie in the Mockingjay Part 2.

* ActionGirl: An older version as she is stated to be middle-aged and muscular.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Is stated to have an unforgettable face, but her beauty is never commented on in the books.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:It is never stated how or if she died. It is assumed she died because she was not called when President Coin called for the surviving tributes.]]

!!Wiress and Beetee
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beeteewiress_1717.png]]
A pair of former victors from District 3, electronics and explosives. [[spoiler:Like Johanna and Finnick, both are part of the alliance of victors whose job it is to make sure Katniss and Peeta survive the Quell.]]

Played by Amanda Plummer (Wiress) and Jeffrey Wright (Beetee).

* AmbiguousDisorder: Wiress. She acts a lot like a person with severe autism, but she might just be deeply traumatized - or just generally odd.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Wiress.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: "Tick tock." [[spoiler:The Quarter Quell arena is a clock.]]

* GadgeteerGenius: Beetee. See TheSmartGuy. It can be assumed Wiress is this as well.

* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:Wiress was killed in the middle of her singing "Hickory-Dickory Dock. This alerted Katniss and the others that the Careers arrived.]]
* InSeriesNickname: Called "Nuts," Wiress, and "Volts," Beetee, by Johanna.

* OnlyOneName: Their surnames are never given; the film does give Beetee one: Latier.
* SaltAndPepper
* {{The Smart Guy}}s: Beetee in particular is described as having managed to win his Games by building an electrified trap for his competitors; he also [[spoiler:develops new weapons for the rebellion and helps cut into the Capitol's TV broadcasts so the rebels can spread their own propaganda]]. Wiress is more intuitive and able to notice things others would not much quicker.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sugarcube_9216.jpg]]
->''"It takes ten times longer to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart."''

A devilishly handsome former victor from District 4, the fishing district. Best known for being one of the youngest victors (he was fourteen at the time) and for the string of broken hearts he leaves behind him in the Capitol. Won his Games by earning so many sponsors that he earned himself an ornate trident that he used to single-handedly destroy the rest of the competition. [[spoiler:He later allies himself with Katniss and Peeta during the Quarter Quell, and turns out to be a rebel who is surreptitiously using his unique position as a former victor and quell participant to make sure the two of them survive so Katniss can become the the figurehead of the second rebellion.]]

Played by Sam Claflin in the films.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Being ripped apart by lizard muttations probably wasn't the best way to go.]]
* CurbStompBattle: His Games became one once he got his shiny new trident.
* EthicalSlut[=/=][[spoiler:HookerWithAHeartOfGold]]
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: At no point are his lovers (besides Annie, his eventual wife) specified by gender. In her narration, Katniss refers to them as "people of the Capitol." Finnick himself refers to them as [[spoiler:"patrons."]]

* GallowsHumor: Literally: makes a noose and pretends to hangs himself for Katniss' amusement.
* HandsOnApproach: How he teaches Katniss how to knot.
* HiddenDepths: {{Lampshaded}} by Katniss in ''Mockingjay,'' where she lists off the various facets Finnick has shown her (smarmy heartthrob, enigmatic ally, broken man). She builds him up as a ruthless manslut, making fun of him for being a pretty womanizer and privately wary of the fact that he won his Games by being irresistible to the audience and merciless to his competitors. She respects him more as she gets to know him, seeing his playfulness when he suggests scaring Peeta awake, how he cares for Mags and Annie, and is further stunned when [[spoiler:he reveals that his 'womanizing' is just the public presentation of the fact that President Snow has been prostituting him to the highest bidder, and if he refuses, someone he loves will be killed]].
* JailBaitWait: He was fourteen when he won his games, so his fanbase had a couple of years to wait before going after him.

* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:He is killed by having his head bitten off by giant white lizard mutts in ''Mockingjay''.]]

* SelfDeprecatingHumor: According to Katniss, this is one of his ''genuine'' charm points. He mocks his own reputation as a shallow pretty boy a couple times, such as asking Katniss if she finds him distracting after stripping down to his underwear.
* [SexSlave: [[spoiler:What President Snow turned him into due to his attractive appearance. Finnick was forced to play ball when Snow threatened to murder his loved ones if he did not. Apparently, this in not all too uncommon among victors who are considered physically attractive.]]
