Tributes in the 405th Games
Chenille Anders
- Hearing Voices: Towards the end of the story, she hears the voices of her recently deceased ally.
Ionia Kai
- Dark and Troubled Past: Her father died in a boating accident, some of his last words telling her to volunteer for the Games. Except that he was telling her to not volunteer.
Vitality Falon
- Antagonistic Offspring: Her mother just wants to keep her safe from what the Games did to her, but Vitality doesn't want to hear any of it.
Kizzy Ericssen
- Dark and Troubled Past: An epidemic took her parents and twin little sisters, leaving her to live on the streets and eventually enter the Games. Better yet, the epidemic was purposefully caused by District Fourteen.
Caladium "Cala" Velius
- Dark and Troubled Past: Her older brother was killed and now he's a voice in her head.
Ondrew Thyte
- I Gave My Word: To Cala's parents, that he would take care of their daughter.
- Phobia: Heights, one of the most common phobias in the series. He's also claustrophobic.
Namitha Gol
- I Gave My Word: To not tell anyone the truth about the mysterious death of Tara.
November Sky
- Temporal Theme Naming: November's the eleventh child in her family. The names of her eleven siblings aren't surprising.
Maine Hofman
- Dark and Troubled Past: His mother's death, and the general joys of District Eleven life.
Tributes in the 406th Games
Jullius Castallen
- Hidden Heart of Gold: He wants to be a good guy. But his Career-training father won't let him.
Airah Trevor
- Dark and Troubled Past: An orphan with a terminal illness, forced into the arena at the age of twelve.
Tamberlain "Tam" Ektra
- Hiding the Handicap: For the sake of sponsoring. However, Airah wants to play it against him. It doesn't work. For anyone.
Evangaline Jones
- Abusive Parent: She was abandoned at her aunt's doorstep by her mother.
Kenton Rienman
- The Un-Favourite: His brother is a victor. Kenton is not.
Ikky Delacroix
- Dark and Troubled Past: After killing her abusive father and three others in self-defense, she was arrested, charged with murder, and sentenced to death.
Felina Armanous
- Dark and Troubled Past: After her parents' accidental deaths, she was forced to live on the streets.
Belle Hatton
- Dark and Troubled Past: Her parents were killed in a mine collapse, being part of an underground group going into the woods outside of District Twelve, and she moved into the orphanage run by a family friend. She was then raped by a Peacekeeper and became pregnant with her daughter, who she keeps a secret.
The Gamemakers and the President
Ritter
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: To a humorous extent in chapter "Midnight's City", when he's apparently off the meds.
Misty
- Quickly-Demoted Leader: By the time she's introduced, she's no longer Head Gamemaker.
Rissa
- Dark and Troubled Past: Raised by a very mentally ill mother, and alcoholic, abusive father, she was all but forced to run away at sixteen to live with her cousin, working at a part-time job in journalism. She leaves school early and transfers to a full-time job, getting her own place. When the journalism job isn’t enough after she enters college on a scholarship, she gets a night job as a prostitute. After college, she becomes a Gamemaker, which adds to her issues with self-harm and suicidal tendencies.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Connecting "Clarissa" to the family name theme (mother Claire, cousin Calandra), she takes offense to being called by it.
Aidan Paylor
- Only Known by Their Nickname: She's never referred to by her first name until the A New Tune name changes.
Victors
Ella Falon
- Cynical Mentor: Somewhat justified, seeing as her daughter was killed in the bloodbath and both of her tributes this year are terminally ill or paraplegic.
Kizzy Ericssen
- Dark and Troubled Past: An epidemic took her parents and twin little sisters, leaving her to live on the streets and eventually enter the Games. Better yet, the epidemic was purposefully caused by District Fourteen.
Cypress Lynn Anderson
- The Obi-Wannabe: Her less-optimistic tributes think her advice is obsolete already.
The Place of White and Gold Characters
Deneb Laine
- Improbable Aiming Skills: Picks these up in Chapter Ten, severing a wire on the roof of Sector Eight from the ground, in the dark, while it's on fire.
Jack Brooks
- Horrible Judge of Character: He doesn't seem to pick up on the fact that three Representatives and the Deputy are part of the conspiracy against him.
Justice Bane
- Badass Bookworm: Manages to never get caught keeping watch for the conspiracy's outings, escapes arrest in Chapter Nine, relatively keeps up with combat-trained Deneb while running towards a burning building, and in the second case of that also fights off Licinius' attempts to keep her away from said burning building. Has several moments in Chapter Thirteen.
Licinius Astral
- Rebellious Rebel: First a part of District Fourteen's rebellion against the Capitol, then begins a conspiracy against the leaders of District Fourteen, then turns against his own conspiracy.
