19	%%* BandOfBrothers: Wrianin's friends.
20	* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler: After her victory, Eewyn invokes this because she knows it will be easier to deal with the guilt if she can learn to be the uncaring person she pretends to be.]]

25	%% * BloodSport: The Hunger Games.
26	* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: Flute dies slowly, sees most of her friends killed off, and can no longer trust Wrianin after his killing of Narcis. Not entirely fair, since Narcis was coming after them, but Flute has a small FriendToAllLivingThings complex.]]

28	%%* CallingTheOldManOut: Amethyst to her father, who is thrilled to the Dickens that his daughter is being sent into the Hunger Games.
29	%% * ChildrenForcedToKill: In the Hunger Games.
30	%% * ChildSoldiers: Wrianin was one, of the somewhat-less-creepy voluntary sort.
31	%% * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Roe
32	%% * ConsummateLiar: Ever Blossom is a ''very'' good liar.
33	%% * CradlingYourKill:
34	%% ** Eulkichu does this to To, in a more creepy, peverse fashion as opposed to emotional.
35	%% ** Wesley to [[spoiler:Baylyn]] as well.
36	%% * CreepyChild: Fawn Kierton.
37	* CruelAndUnusualDeath:
38	** [[spoiler: The Gamemakers sent Kiteriin insane. She proceeded to saw her wrist open with her own fingernails.]]
39	** [[spoiler:Disha's face is melted off by acid.]]
40	* CurbStompBattle: Wesley is quite formidable, but usually only gets to show his strength against much younger, weaker opponents.
41	* DamselInDistress: Baylyn pretty much has to be babysat after Wesley smashes her ribs in.
42	%% * DeadlyGame: The Hunger Games again.
43	* DeathOfAChild: The younger kids are just as, if not more, likely to bite the dust than those in their upper teens.
44	* DisappearedDad: Wrianin's father is dead in Starvation 1. In Starvation 3, so is Leo's father.
45	%% * DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Mikki, and later Kiteriin.]]
46	%% * DumbMuscle: Welsey.
47	%% * EarnYourHappyEnding: All victors, although [[spoiler: Wrianin]] may take the prize.

50	%% * GenkiGirl: Lavendess' friend Emmi.
51	* HealthcareMotivation: Lavendess' friend Allae is ill. WordOfGod says she has cancer, and that it's actually entirely possible to diagnose and cure in the Capitol. Just not the Districts, because who cares about giving ''them'' medical care?

53	%% * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Wrianin tries one. Jiminiy stops him.]]

55	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Euliptia.
56	%%* KickTheDog: The series kicks dogs like Beckham kicks soccer balls.
57	%%* KillTheOnesYouLove: Although most try valiantly to avoid this.
58	* LaResistance: Wrianin fought in the rebellion.
59	%%* TheLoad: Baylyn after her injury. Not that Adrian minds.
60	* LonersAreFreaks: Subverted. Anastasia assumes Caspar is dangerous because he has no friends, but it turns out he's just painfully shy.
61	* LoveableRogue: Daphine Ryte is both a thief and an arsonist, but she's a pretty nice girl, overall.
62	* MadnessMantra: "I'm a killer." [[spoiler:Aria says this a lot after she murders her District partner.]]
63	* TheMillstone: Roe. She can't even bring herself to[[spoiler: save Caspian's life]], which might have vindicated her.
64	* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Erasaziel's fervent denial that she was chosen as an announced because her cousin is the president is a little suspicious. Despite this, the trope is subverted, as the cousin in question is also female.
65	%%* TheNicknamer: Wrianin
66	%%* NietzscheWannabe: Some of Wesley's more philosophical musings tend toward this.
67	%%* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Wesley deals one to Baylyn.
68	* OriginalCharacter: Twenty-four tribute every year, and then extras. ''Lots'' of original characters.
69	* ThePollyanna: Kaden, employing copious amounts of ThinkHappyThoughts.
70	* PostKissCatatonia: Inverted. Lance only rbeaks out of his post-reaping catatonia when Ribbon kisses him.
71	%%* PrematurelyBald: Drai Brister
72	* RapeAsBackstory: Tatum's backstory is mostly being raped and having a son.
73	* ReallyGetsAround: Anastasia in her past, although she's has a steady boyfriend when she is introduced.
74	* ShipTease: Quite a bit between Adrian and Baylyn. WordOfGod states that they can't kiss or announce anything due to the Starvation stories not being [[AlternateUniverseFic Alternate Universe Fics]], but they are in fact a couple.
75	* ShoutOut: WordOfGod says that the names of Lance's sisters, Magpie and Whisper, are a ShoutOut to the ''Literature/FaeriesOfDreamdark'' series.
76	%%* SickeninglySweethearts: February and Mars.
77	* TheSnarkKnight: Disha and Narcis. Mocking the idiocy of their team is one of their very favorite things to do.
78	%%* StickyFingers: Daphine.
79	%%* SwitchingPOV
80	%%* TearsOfRemorse: Pop up understandably often.
81	* TeensAreMonsters: Some of the characters are just a ''little'' too comfortable about the whole "two dozen teens shut in an arena until all but one are dead" thing.
82	* ThereCanOnlyBeOne: victor of the Hunger Games.
83	* {{Tykebomb}}: President Hellwick's personal guard is made entirely of tykebombs.
84	* TokenEvilTeammate: Drai to Wrianin's gang. Possibly [[{{Jerkass}} Narcis and Disha]] as well, although YMMV.
85	* TooDumbToLive: Roe ''has'' to be in the running for Most Triumphant Example.
86	%%* TrueCompanions: Wrianin's gang in Starvation 1. Well, most of them.
87	* TwoFirstNames: Ever Blossom Drey.
88	* UnnamedParent: Most of them. With twenty four tribute every time around, it simply isn't practical.
89	%%* WasItReallyWorthIt: Winning the Hunger Games is an excellent example of this.
