She steals other food besides the berries in the book, implying she wanted to eat them, not just poison herself.


* TooCleverByHalf: [[spoiler: Has a resourceful and cunning brain, but no skills for foraging or hunting. She assumes that Peeta knew what berries were poisonous -- but ''Katniss'' is the great survivalist. Unless, of course, you think she planned her death...]]

* ObfuscatingStupidity: Only scores a 5 in her evaluation. Based on her caginess in the interview, Katniss realizes that Foxface did this on purpose so the other tributes would underestimate and ignore her.

* TheWorldsExpertOnGettingKilled: Gets hit with this even worse than the [[ButtMonkey District 1 children]], to the extent they don't even get names (though to be fair Marvel didn't get named until the second book despite his relative prominence). Despite ostensibly being Careers, one didn't make it past the Bloodbath (to Katniss's InUniverse surprise) and the other got dispatched with little fanfare (and just before Glimmer, meaning District 4 got knocked out of the running before any of the rest of the career pack). The movie goes so far as to [[AdaptedOut write them out of the Career pack altogether]], and of the Career scores none got an 8 (in the book the careers ranged from 8-10) implying the District 4 children were the least competent of the bunch. Really their role seems to be to stress that AnyoneCanDie and that the Careers are NotSoInvincibleAfterAll, while the other Careers play more substantiative roles in the story.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: While all deaths in the arena probably qualify as this, the narration describes what's left of her corpse as emaciated. Given that she could only take a little food at a time, that her bag at the Feast was only medium sized, and that the Gamemakers deliberately triggered an overwhelming, multi-day storm that prevented even Katniss from hunting, it's likely she got to experience the worst of the "Hunger" in the Hunger Games in her last days.

Katniss speculates that he already held a particular grudge against her because she outscored him in training but humiliating him at the tree and dropping a trackerjacker nest on him was the last straw.

* TheAllegedExpert: Despite advertising himself as a "ruthless killing machine" he fails to deliver an immediately fatal wound twice and compounds it by angrily insisting to the contrary (the first time that the District 8 girl was dead despite a clear lack of a cannon, the second claiming Peeta's wound was inevitably fatal and while true Peeta hangs on for several days) leaving his victims to die slowly from their wounds. This comes to bite him in the ass.

When Katniss destroys that, Foxface hides near Katniss and Peeta to watch how they survive.
