* DidntThinkThisThrough: Tries to physically stop his boss (who is described as physically impressive) from continuing with the whipping, which only lands him in further trouble.

Added DiffLines:

* ObstructiveBureaucrat: A rare positive example. She defuses a potentially lethal standoff between Thread and the District 12 Victors by citing a probably bogus regulation that lets Thread save face while saving Gale's life.
* OnlySaneWoman: Unlike Darius, her method of stopping the whipping is to act "smart and official", avoiding directly challenging Thread's authority and potentially setting him off while still giving him a way to deescalate.
* PunchClockVillain: Similar to Darius and other low level District 12 Peacekeepers, she's ultimately a underpaid {{mook}} sent to a backwater district to enforce the law for an EvilEmpire. She does not seem to personally hate the people of District 12 and is a regular customer [[FriendInTheBlackMarket at the hob]]. She is willing to lie to help prevent the new [[TyrantTakesTheHelm Head Peacekeeper]] from going too far.
* UncertainDoom: Katniss notes that she does not recognize any of the Peacekeepers in the square later on, indicating that they have all been replaced. Whether or not the faced any severe punishment or were simply ReassignedToAntarctica for their (sometimes benevolent) corruption and/or whether or not she survived the coming war is never made clear.

However, he sees nothing wrong in killing Capitol children out of revenge, due to them being general citizens of the Capitol and, therefore, considers them just as guilty for the atrocities committed against the Districts.

Added DiffLines:

* NoSympathy: When Katniss was 11 and desperately trying to find food for herself and her family, she resorted to digging through the Mellarks' trash bin. Mrs. Mellark saw her and started shouting at her to go away and that she would call the Peacekeepers and that she was so tired of "those brats from the Seam pawing through their trash."

Added DiffLines:

* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: In the past, Mr. Mellark (who was presumably born in the merchant class) wanted to marry Katniss' mother, but she married a poor coal miner from the Seam.
-->'''Mr. Mellark''': See that little girl [Katniss]? I wanted to marry her mother, but she ran off with a coal miner.\\
'''Young Peeta''': A coal miner? Why did she want a coal miner if she could've had you?\\
'''Mr. Mellark''': Because when he sings, even the birds stop to listen.
* SingleSexOffspring: Peeta's parents have three sons, including him.

** Bread. The staple food for the working class is rough bread made from tessera grain. Children 12 or older almost always put their names in the reaping balls more times in exchange for grain and oil for their families. Bakery bread is seen as a luxury and reserved for special occasions. Peeta, one of the series' principal characters, is a baker's son. There's also the toasting ritual mentioned above. Panem, the country to which District 12 belongs, is Latin for "bread" and derived from the phrase ''panem et circenses'', "bread and circuses" -- a philosophy that means to pacify the people with food and entertainment (in this case, the annual Hunger Games) while taking away their rights.
