5!!Yao Qin:
6
7%% * AdaptationalVillainy
8* AntiVillain: He's definitely an antagonist and does the dirty work he needs has to to survive, but volunteered only to shift the responsibility off his younger siblings, hopes to discourage them from dedicating their lives to killing, and [[spoiler: spares Riben at one point.]]

10* TheDogBitesBack: After being pushed around by his allies for too long, he is convinced by [[{{Manipulative Bastard}} Cisca]] to [[spoiler: interfere in the fight between Ivan and Rica and take their place as leader.]] Unfortunately for him, [[spoiler: it doesn't go well.]]
11* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Amantius [[spoiler: kills him abruptly]] after he is knocked unconscious, and [[spoiler: his death]] has no real effect on the plot apart from [[spoiler: being one more tribute dead.]]
12* FatherIDontWantToFight: He's not sold on the idea of the Games, and it's hinted he was pressured into training by his family, but volunteers so that none of his siblings will be expected to.
13* FryingPanOfDoom: His weapon is a wok and ladel.

16* ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses a wok he found at the Cornucopia.

26
27!!Amantius Redulite:

31%% * TheBrute
32%% * DeadpanSnarker
33* EtTuBrute: Stabs [[spoiler: Yao]] in the back as he lies unconscious.

35* JerkAss: He didn't even care when [[spoiler: his own sister]] was killed!
36* KickTheDog: quite a few possible examples:
37** He and Ivan were planning to injure Nada in turn until she finally expired, as a contest to see which of them killed her first. Fortunately, it didn't go as planned.
38** His merciless bullying of Anglynn, including punching her simply for offering her opinion.
39** [[spoiler: stabbing Yao in the back.]]
40%% * LackOfEmpathy: Even towards his own [[spoiler: dead sister.]]

80
81!!Riben Wang:
82
83* ActualPacifist: Is extremely opposed to killing, due to the fact that [[spoiler: his sister died in a previous game.]] True to his beliefs, he never raises a finger against another tribute in the arena, [[spoiler: which has dire consequences for him when he wins without killing.]]
84* AscendedExtra: He gets a brief mention in China's first POV in ''Horrible'', in which she states he's the only male she's known to [[NonActionGuy never do anything 'manly.']]

86* BillingualBonus: His name is "Japan" in Chinese.

88* DespairEventHorizon: Lost all joy in life when [[spoiler: his sister was killed.]]

It's revealed in the epilogue that [[spoiler: Turk, who seemed to have won the Games, died from his injuries and Riben was saved in time to make him the Victor.]]
90* DistressedDude: Ermine often has to defend him and Italo from muttations and other tributes.
91* DoomedByCanon: It’s inevitable that [[spoiler: he’ll die sometime before the end of the rebellion,]] seeing as he is (obviously) not among [[spoiler: the surviving Victors mentioned in Mockingjay.]] In fact, it’s hinted that he’s [[spoiler: the District 6 male who dies in the Quarter Quell during [[Literature/{{TheHungerGames}} Catching Fire.]]]]
92* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: His ultimate fate - the Capitol punishes his defiance by killing off anyone he becomes emotionally attached to, dooming him to live without the most basic of human relationships.]]
93* {{Hikikomori}}: He was this for a while after [[spoiler: China's death. Losing his sister]] depressed him so much that he usually confined himself to his room.
94* HistoryRepeats: This trope is written all over him. Not only is he [[spoiler: the young Victor brother of a previous dead tribute (just like Shiran)]], but he also [[spoiler: loses his ally to accidental poisoning]] just like he lost his sister years earlier. The Capitol invokes this when [[spoiler: they poison his loved ones as punishment for surviving the Games without a kill.]]
95* HonorBeforeReason: Vows not to kill in order to uphold [[spoiler: his sister’s]] memory. This extends to himself [[spoiler: refraining from suicide]] even after he has literally nothing left to live for.
96* IHaveNoSon: Hinted at throughout the Games that his father treats him in this way out of disgust for his depressed and reclusive nature. [[spoiler: Confirmed in the epilogue.]]
97* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: The Capitol [[spoiler: executes his parents and anyone else he grows close to]] because he [[spoiler: won the Games without killing anyone.]]
98%% * JapanesePoliteness
99* LastSurvivorSuicide: [[spoiler: Defied in the epilogue. Although he has considered it, he can’t bear to bring more violence upon anyone when his sister detested it so much.]]
100* TheLoad: Begins to feel that he is this to the alliance, due to having to rely on others since [[spoiler: the death of his sister]] emotionally crippled him.
101%% * NonActionGuy: Both he and Italo serve as the NonActionGuy to Ermine’s ActionGirl.
102* NotAfraidToDie: Ever since [[spoiler: the death of his sister,]] he sees no real purpose in living and resigns himself to dying at the bloodbath rather than killing to survive. When [[spoiler: he’s buried by an avalanche,]] he thinks it'll be better this way because [[spoiler: he'll get to see his sister again.]] Unfortunately for him, [[spoiler: he survives.]]
103* TheQuietOne: Typically avoids company, due to his emotionally fragile nature.
104* SoleSurvivor: The Victor of these games, making him the last living Tribute.
105* TraumaCongaLine: Obviously applies to everyone in the series, but it's especially pronounced with him. Let's see, [[spoiler: his sister is murdered when he's five years old,]] he's reaped for the Hunger Games at thirteen, he makes allies but [[spoiler: one is killed while the other withers away from poison and a HeroicBSOD]], he [[spoiler: wins the Games but is punished for not killing anybody by being forced to watch his parents tortured to death while his father screams that he hates him]], he finally meets a girl he loves [[spoiler: only to have her executed as well,]] ends up [[spoiler: a broken shell of a man, forbidden to form close relationships with anyone and addicted to morphling,]] and is hinted to [[spoiler: die in the Quarter Quell.]] ''Ouch.''
106* UnderdogsNeverLose: [[spoiler: Though how much he actually 'wins' is debatable.]]

111
112!!Turk Adnan:
113
114* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: His little brother, Heracles, seems to be this to him. They squabble even during the post-reaping goodbyes!
115* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: A platonic version; he claims that Egypt is inferior to him due to his lack of fighting prowess, but becomes genuinely depressed after [[spoiler: he dies.]]
116* BloodKnight: He enjoys fighting just for the sake of fighting, and afterwards lets his defeated opponents into his alliance rather than killing them. Deconstructed when [[spoiler: he’s a finalist]] and realizes it’s really a matter of life and death now.
117%% * ChildhoodBrainDamage: Romania jokingly suggests this as an explanation for his denseness.
118* CurbStompBattle: Egypt can’t hold his own against him, leading to Turk claiming him as his ‘property’ rather than his ally.
119%% ** His fight against [[spoiler: Nada]] also counts.
120* DefeatMeansFriendship: He admits tributes he defeats in combat into his alliance, treating them as allies if he was impressed by their efforts and property if he wasn't. By the end of the Games, it's apparent he cares to some extent about both members of his alliance, particularly Romania.
121%% * DumbMuscle: Impressive in combat, but more than a little dense. [[DeadpanSnarker Romania]] lampshades it often.
122* HonorBeforeReason: Often gives his opponents an advantage if he doesn’t feel the fight is fair, such as letting Romania have the first hit and urging [[spoiler: Nada]] to fight harder.
123* MutualKill: [[spoiler: He kills Holland, but later dies of the wounds she inflicted on him during their battle.]]
124* PermaStubble: Considers this his district token, as he doesn't want to risk losing his hat in the arena.
125* RedHerring: Appears to have [[spoiler: won the Games,]] but soon afterwards [[spoiler: dies of his wounds]], leaving [[spoiler: Riben the Victor.]]
126* VitriolicBestBuds: With his brother, Heracles. He and Romania have some shades of this as well, though with less emphasis on the vitriol.
127* WouldHitAGirl: But he lets her hit first. [[spoiler: Unless she's just killed his ally. Or is his final opponent.]]
128
129!!Taner Nacar:
130
131* BigBrotherWorship: Seems very proud of his elder brother, Cy.
132* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Gets bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat.]]
133* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler: To Turk,]] although he does mention him once in passing after [[spoiler: Egypt dies.]]
134* HonorBeforeReason: Vows not to kill in the Games, so as to not disappoint his [[{{ActualPacifist}} brother.]]

136%% * WeHardlyKnewYe
137

139

142* {{Geek}}: Spends most of his time discussing science and geeky hobbies with his best friend.

147%% * TrueCompanions: Was on his way to becoming this with Anissa.
148
149!!Italo Veneziano:
150
151* AccidentalMurder: Italo [[spoiler: slips Ermine some poison,]] wanting to see how it will work and either not realizing or not caring that [[spoiler: it will kill his friend.]]

153%% * BigEater
154* CheerfulChild: Nothing seems to dampen his spirits.
155%% * ChildhoodBrainDamage: WordOfGod hints at this as a reason for his [[CloudCuckooLander scatterbrained demeanour.]]
156* {{Determinator}}: Although it doesn’t come into play during the Games, Ermine hails it as one of his good qualities in backstory, stating he went from house to house looking for a job after being kicked out of the home.
157* DistressedDude: Ermine has her hands full keeping him and Riben from harm.
158* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Lets his guard down with [[spoiler: Cisca, even though she’s a Career.]] It helps that [[spoiler: she’s untrained and very persuasive,]] but he still should have known better than to trust a stranger so far in the Games. [[spoiler: It costs him his life.]]
159%% * {{KilledMidSentence}} : While calling for Ermine.
160* TheLoad: He doesn't do much more than eat, sleep, whine and cook in the alliance.
161%% * LovableCoward
162%% * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: With Ermine.

164* OddFriendship: Scatterbrained, fun-loving Italo and intelligent, no-nonsense Ermine.
165* ParentalAbandonment: Was booted out of his home for unexplored reasons (although WordOfGod hints at a mental disorder suffered from head injury), and works for Ermine’s family for food and board.
166%% * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Inverted with him and Ermine.
167%% * SlashedThroat: [[spoiler: Dies this way.]]
168* SupremeChef: Apparently he can make something Capitol-worthy in a frozen wasteland with nothing but fox carcasses, for crying out loud! This is why he acts as his alliance's TeamChef.
169* TooDumbToLive: Where to start? He continues to sneak food no matter how much Ermine punishes him for it, [[spoiler: poisons his own ally]] just to see what it does, chitchats with [[spoiler: a Career]] in the middle of the Games ...
170
171!!Cuba Machado:
172
173* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Risks [[spoiler: and loses]] his life helping Nada escape from the Careers.
174* BewareTheNiceOnes: He’s amicable and fun, but you definitely don’t want to push his buttons.
175%% * TheBigGuy
176%% * BigFun
177* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Not technically, but he's the first major character to [[spoiler: die]].
178* BoisterousBruiser: One of the nicest people in the series; he also won't back down at the chance of a fight.
179* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: He has his skull smashed open with a baseball bat.]]
180* FriendOrFoe: Due to the two girls’ similar appearances, he mistakes Nada for Rica one night and attacks her before realizing she’s his ally.
181* HeroicSacrifice: He would have had a better chance of escaping [[spoiler: Rica]] if he hadn't been preoccupied with [[spoiler: helping Nada escape the Careers.]]
182* NiceGuy: He's adorably supportive of Nada despite all her insecurities, takes time to help [[spoiler: Shaye]] up during the bloodbath, and [[spoiler: dies trying to save his ally.]]

184* TokenMinority: One of the few black characters in the series, along with Philan, Shaye and Egypt.
185* WouldHitAGirl: Seems to relish the opportunity to fight Rica. He’s far from the type to hurt a girl in cold blood, though.
186
187!!Egypt Hassan:
188
189* {{Buttmonkey}}: Pretty much every one of his appearances involves him getting beaten up or pushed around by his allies. He's also humiliated in the tribute parade when his stylists decide to have him go naked.
190* CurbStompBattle: Egypt can’t hold his own against Turk, leading to the latter claiming him as his ‘property’ rather than his alliance.
191* DoomedByCanon: In The Hunger Games,[[spoiler: District 12 has only ever had four victors (three in the canon series, one established by Journey's other fics), so it's certain from the start that he's going to die.]]
192%% * TheLoad: To Turk and Romania.
193* NakedOnArrival: In his introductory chapter, his stylist makes him go to the chariot parade naked and covered in coal dust.
194%% * NonActionGuy: Apart from a brief [[CurbStompBattle fight]] with Turk.

196%% * PerpetualFrowner

199* SlaveBrand: Turk carves a ‘T’ into his cheek in the heat of battle to mark him as his ‘property.’
200* TokenMinority: One of the few black characters in the series, along with Philan, Shaye and Cuba.

206
207!!Cisca Lemieux:
208
209* AdaptationalVillainy: France isn't bad in Hetalia.
210* AntiVillain: She obviously has no interest in killing, but there's no other way for her to get home.
211%% * BeautyIsNeverTarnished: [[spoiler: Very, [[NauseaFuel VERY]] averted with her death.]]
212* BitchInSheepsClothing: She seems like a [[{{DumbBlonde}} ditzy]] MsFanservice. It's an act.

214* CruelAndUnusualDeath: How else can one describe [[spoiler: dying from having your scalp nearly sliced open, your hair and nails pulled off, your fingers cut off at the joints, your eyes gouged out, your teeth punched out and your heart stamped through your ribs?]]

221* MsFanservice: Despite not particularly wanting to be seen as a sex symbol, she enforced this trope anyway in order to gain sponsorship and seduce the other careers (mostly Amantius) into doing what she wanted.
222* NotSoHarmlessVillain: She seems harmless at first - until it becomes apparent that she's manipulating the entire Career pack into doing what she wants.
223* PetTheDog: Her agreement to be Ivan’s friend and her sympathizing with Yao [[spoiler: seem like this, but she’s actually trying to get everyone on her good side so she can manipulate them more effectively.]]
224* RasputinianDeath: [[spoiler:She went through a scary amount of damage before [[spoiler: finally dying.]]
225%% * ReallyGetsAround: According to Yao, at least.

235* GenderFlip: She's Nyotalia England.
236* ImaginaryFriend: Has quite a few, including fairies, unicorns, and a 'flying mint bunny.'

245* AmicableExes: One of the ex-boyfriends who comes to visit her after the reaping acts quite kindly to her and shows concern over what will happen in the Games.

255%% * ArchEnemy: To Ivan.
256* BatterUp: Uses a baseball bat as a weapon.
257* BerserkButton: Do NOT call her fat. Or insinuate that she messed up a hunt. ''Especially'' if you're Ivan.
258* BloodKnight: Though much less mentally cracked as some of the series' other examples, she clearly takes great joy in fighting and killing.
259* Eagleland: She reinforces the negative stereotypes of Americans.
260* EvilVersusEvil: In her fight against Ivan. Neither is noticeably more sympathetic, so it's up to the readers to decide what they want the outcome to be. [[spoiler: Rica ends up killing Ivan before being killed by Yao, who is then killed by Amantius.]]
261* GenderFlip: Nyotalia America.
262%% * HotBlooded
263%% * ImprobableWeaponUser: See BatterUp above.
264* {{Jerkass}}: Her selfish, controlling behavior results in much of the pack resenting her.

277
278!!Romania Viorel:
279
280* ActionGirl: To an extent. She manages to bite her way out of Rica's grip at the bloodbath, holds up well enough against Turk for him to view her as an equal, and [[spoiler: battles Holland near the climax of the Games.]]
281* AndThenWhat: Her response to Turk when he suggests recruiting every other tribute into their alliance. He hadn’t thought of that.
282* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In her introductory chapter, Romania exhibits some hints of psychosis as she gleefully anticipates the bloody nature of the Games. This never recurs after the bloodbath, with her becoming a quirky but loyal ally to Turk, never fighting with intent to kill until the very end, and even showing reluctance to leave an unconscious Riben behind to die.
283%% * CuteLittleFangs: Her front teeth are unusually sharp.

290* NightmareFetishist: She thinks someone getting blown up is a cool way to go.
291%% * SlashedThroat: [[spoiler: Dies this way at Holland's hands.]]
292* TheTrickster: She pranks a sleeping Turk on one of the first nights by putting his jacket on backwards and telling him he must have done it in his sleep. He buys it.
293* WhatTheHellHero: Minor version; she asks Turk if his branding of Egypt was really necessary.
294%% * WorthyOpponent: Turk considers her this after she held her own in a fight, leading to him welcoming her into his alliance.
295

297
298[[folder: ''Unsurvivable'' Females, District 7 - 12]]
299
300!!Holland Mogens:
301
302* ActionGirl: Develops into one as the Games go on and it becomes more and more necessary to fight her opponents.
303* BraidsOfAction: It’s remarked in one of the earlier chapters that she wears her hair in braids, and she’s certainly an Action Girl, especially towards the end of the story.
304* BrutalHonesty: She makes it perfectly clear to Nada that, even though they’re allies, they’re not friends and she’ll still kill her if necessary.
305* EmotionlessGirl: Rarely, if ever, displays strong emotion, even during an emotional farewell with her family.
306* FreestateAmsterdam: She represents the Netherlands, and according to backstory, used to buy marijuana off the Black Market.
307* GenderFlip: Female Holland.
308* KillItWithWater: Removes the fallen tree that’s been blocking the river, sending a flood towards the pursuing careers. [[spoiler: This winds up washing Anglynn into a crack]] and causing her to [[spoiler: die of hypothermia.]]
309* MercyKill: Offered to do this to Nada, who was terrified of being slowly tortured to death by the Careers. Nada declined.
310%% * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Her dynamic with Nada, she being the tomboy.
311* TookALevelInBadass: She mostly hides on her own for the first part of the Games … then she unleashes a river against the Careers, [[spoiler: killing one of them]], defeats a polar bear muttation with Nada's help, and [[spoiler: kills most of the [[{{FanNickname}} Ottoman Alliance]]]] in the climax. %%Invoked

328
329!!Ermine Lutz:
330
331* AccidentalMurder: Italo [[spoiler: slips her some poison,]] wanting to see how it will work and not realizing that [[spoiler: it will kill his friend.]]
332%% * ActionGirl: One of the series' most prominent non-villainous examples.
333%% * AllWorkVsAllPlay: The all work to Italo's all play.
334%% * AxCrazy: When [[spoiler: attacking Cisca]] after [[spoiler: Italo's death]].
335* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Riben notices that, despite her harsh attitude towards him, Ermine genuinely cares about and even admires Italo - at least when he's not listening. This is proven, albeit in a depressing way, by [[spoiler: her HeroicBSOD after his death.]]
336* BreakTheBadass: A long, slow process, beginning with her fear of not being able to protect her allies and culminating in [[spoiler: her Despair Event Horizon after Italo’s death.]]
337%% * DespairEventHorizon: After [[spoiler: Italo dies.]]
338* DirtyBusiness: She doesn’t want to kill [[spoiler: Zavann]] when she finds [[spoiler: him]] lying unconscious on the ground, but [[spoiler: can’t think of any reason the Capitol wouldn’t punish her for sparing him.]]
339%% * DrillSergeantNasty: Attempts to whip Italo into a competent ally this way.

344* GeniusBruiser: A formidable fighter as well as a very strategic, logical thinker.

346* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Her protectiveness towards her allies intensifies in obsession until [[spoiler: she kills Cisca in a manner far more sadistic than was merited.]]
347%% * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Has this dynamic with Italo.
348* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
349** Done subtly. She attempts to push away the remorse she feels after [[spoiler: killing Zavann]], but is noticeably unsettled. Later, in Italo’s POV, she is seen obsessively sorting out containers – a routine she uses to calm herself down and clear her mind in moments of guilt.
350** Subverted with [[spoiler: Cisca's death.]] Ermine seems shocked at the violent extremes to which she went, but still feels [[spoiler: Cisca]] deserved it, and is more concerned with [[spoiler: Italo’s death]] than anything else.
351* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Saving Riben from – and killing – two giant fox mutts.
352%% * NeckSnap: [[spoiler: Kills Zavann this way.]]
353%% * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: To four Careers at once to protect her allies. In a much darker twist, [[spoiler: she does the same to Cisca later.]]
354* NotSoStoic: Initially appears completely stern and serious-minded, but as the Games wear on, she begins to display more fear, guilt, and self-doubt, culminating in [[spoiler: a RoaringRampageOfRevenge]] and finally [[spoiler: a HeroicBSOD.]]
355* ObsessivelyOrganized: She organizes supplies to calm herself down in stressful situations. This later comes back in an extremely disturbing way when she [[spoiler: kills Cisca, removing her teeth, eyes and fingers in a neat, symmetrical fashion.]]
356* OddFriendship: Scatterbrained, fun-loving Italo and intelligent, no-nonsense Ermine.
357* PerfectPoison: Averted; [[spoiler: it takes her at least a day to die from the poison Italo gave her.]]
358%% * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Inverted with her and Italo.
359* SugarAndIcePersonality: Treats Italo with uncompromising severity, but shows great affection for him deep down. She’s also quite kind to Riben.
360* ToughLove: All the time towards Italo. For all the times she criticizes him, it's clearly done to help him survive.

362
363!!Nada Ott:
364
365* ApologeticAttacker: To Turk, even when [[spoiler: she's fighting for her life.]]

371* GenderFlip: Nyotalia Canada.
372* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Is blonde and one of the sweetest tributes in the series.
373* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Not completely horrible, but certainly naïve and overly trusting. When she allies with Holland towards the very end of the Games, she seems to expect their purely-survival-based bond to blossom into a friendship like it did during her last alliance. At one point, she misinterprets Holland’s warning that, if it comes down to it, she will kill her, as a warning that she (Holland) may die of her injuries. (To clarify: Holland says that Nada "should be more worried about the tribute next to her" than the Careers.) She also comes very close to breaking down when Holland more bluntly tells her the truth.
374%% * NaiveEverygirl: See above.
375* ProneToTears: Is close to tears when Holland tells her they're not friends.
376%% * ShrinkingViolet

384* DoomedByCanon: In ''The Hunger Games'', District 12 [[spoiler: has only ever had four victors (three in the canon series, one established by Journey's other fics)]], so you pretty much know [[spoiler: she's going to die.]]
385%% * ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler: To Romania,]] although she does mention her twice briefly.
386* NakedOnArrival: In her introductory chapter, her stylist makes her go to the chariot parade naked and covered in coal dust.
