* [[spoiler: CruelAndUnusualDeath]]: [[spoiler: is beaten to death with a wok, of all things.]]

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]: [[spoiler: by Yao.]]
* [[spoiler: RedShirt / SacrificialLamb / WeHardlyKnewYe]]

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]: [[spoiler: Courtesy of Italo's AccidentalMurder.]]
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Has this dynamic with Italo.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: 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.

** WordOfGod has stated that Ermine “didn’t think about it too much,” but that a romantic interpretation of her feelings is definitely an option.

* {{Adorkable}}

* AttackItsWeakPoint / ChekhovsGun: While playing with a polar bear cub midway through the Games, she realizes the creatures are particularly sensitive on their snouts above their noses. This comes in handy later when she [[spoiler: saves Holland from the cub's vicious MamaBear.]]

* TheDarkChick / TheSmartGuy: in the Unsurvivable career pack.
* 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: [[{{KilledOffForReal}} it doesn't go well.]]]]

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]

* TheBrute
* [[{{CoolBigSis}} Cool Big Bro]]: implied to be this to his little sister, Bella.

* KickTheDog: his and Amantius' plan to slowly kill Nada as part of a BodyCountCompetition.
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: kills [[spoiler: Drius]] this way. Delivers non-fatal versions to [[spoiler: Zavann and Rica.]]

* PipePain
* PsychopathicManchild
* StepfordSmiler: Type C
* VillainousFriendship: seemingly between him and Cisca, though [[spoiler: she’s only using it to her advantage.]]

* {{Bilingual Bonus}}: His name is "Japan" in Chinese.
* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler: the death of his sister.]]

* DespairEventHorizon / HeroicBSOD: Lost all joy in life when [[spoiler: his sister was killed.]]
* [[spoiler: DisneyDeath]]: Right before the final battle of the Games, he falls through a crack in the ice and appears to be buried by an avalanche. 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.]]
* DistressedDude: see Actual Pacifist entry above. Ermine often has to defend him and Italo from muttations and other tributes.
* [[spoiler: 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.]]]]

* {{Hikikomori}}: He was this for a while after [[spoiler: China's death]].
** To elaborate: [[spoiler: losing his sister]] depressed him so much that he usually confined himself to his room.
* HistoryRepeats: This trope is written all over him. Not only is he [[spoiler: the young Dark Horse 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.]]

* IllBoy: was often sick at home, likely due to getting so little exercise and sunlight.

* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: the Capitol [[spoiler: executes his parents and anyone else he grows close to]] because he [[spoiler: won the Games without killing anyone.]]

* [[spoiler: SoleSurvivor]]

* [[spoiler: UnderdogsNeverLose]]: [[spoiler: though how much he actually 'wins' is debatable.]]

* BloodKnight / BoisterousBruiser: 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.
* ChildhoodBrainDamage: Romania jokingly suggests this as an explanation for his denseness.

** His fight against [[spoiler: Nada]] also counts.

* DumbMuscle: Impressive in combat, but more than a little dense. [[DeadpanSnarker Romania]] lampshades it often.

* KickTheDog: YMMV, but, while not done out of malice, his branding of Egypt could come off as this.
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]: Although it seems like he's going to be [[spoiler: the SoleSurvivor.]]

* PowerTrio / TwoGuysAndAGirl: With Egypt and Holland.

* [[spoiler: CruelAndUnusualDeath / NoHoldsBarredBeatdown]]: [[spoiler: is bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat.]]

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]

* LovableCoward
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: With Ermine.

* PowerTrio / TwoGuysAndAGirl: With Ermine and Riben.
* [[spoiler: SacrificialLion]]
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Inverted with him and Ermine.
* SlashedThroat: [[spoiler: Dies this way.]]
* TeamChef / SupremeChef: Apparently he can make something Capitol-worthy in a frozen wasteland with nothing but fox carcasses, fro crying out loud!

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Was originally supposed to be a ManipulativeBastard who used his apparent weakness to lull his allies into a false sense of security.

* TheBigGuy
* BigFun
* [[spoiler: BlackDudeDiesFirst]]: Not technically, but he's the first major character to [[spoiler: die]].

* [[spoiler: CruelAndUnusualDeath]]: [[spoiler: He has his skull smashed open with a baseball bat.]]
* FireForgedFriends / TrueCompanions: Edges towards this with Nada.

* [[spoiler: 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.]]
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]

* [[spoiler: SacrificialLion]]

* [[spoiler: 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.]]
* [[spoiler: [[{{DroppedABridgeOnHim}} Dropped A Chunk Of Ice On Him]]]]
* [[spoiler: KillItWithIce]]: [[spoiler: he's crushed when part of an ice cave falls in on him.]]
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* TheLoad: To Turk and Romania.
* MarkOfShame / SlaveBrand: Turk carves a ‘T’ into his cheek in the heat of battle to mark him as his ‘property.’

* NonActionGuy: Apart from a brief [[CurbStompBattle fight]] with Turk.
* OnlySaneMan: Definitely comes off as this when compared with [[{{BoisterousBruiser}} Turk]] and Romania.
* PerpetualFrowner
* PowerTrio / TwoGuysAndAGirl: With Turk and Romania.

* TheQuietOne / TheStoic: He never actually speaks until halfway through the fic. Romania counts this as a milestone.

* WTHCostumingDepartment: So he thinks when his stylist makes him ride naked in the chariot.

* FragileFlower: Is close to tears when Holland tells her they're not friends.

* [[spoiler: 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 [[{{TheHungerGames}} Catching Fire.]]]]

* BlondGuysAreEvil

* BlondesAreEvil: Like most of the characters, not truly evil, but certainly an antagonist.

* BlondesAreEvil: [[{{ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin}} Has blonde hair and is an antagonist.]]

* BlondesAreEvil

* FragileSpeedster: Physically very weak, but Ermine doubts that even the Careers could catch up to him when he’s running.

* FragileSpeedster: Not the best fighter, but she can outrun a bear and the Careers (though they ''were'' distracted by fighting Cuba.)

* AttackItsWeakPoint / ChekovsGun: While playing with a polar bear cub midway through the Games, she realizes the creatures are particularly sensitive on their snouts above their noses. This comes in handy later when she [[spoiler: saves Holland from the cub's vicious MamaBear.]]

* OnlySaneMan: Definitely comes off as this when compared with [[{{BoisterousBruiser}} Turk]] and [[{{StrangeGirl}} Romania.]]

* [[spoiler: SlashedThroat]]: [[spoiler: Dies this way at Holland's hands.]]
* StrangeGirl: Has many eccentricities, from a slight bloodlust to an irreverent snark.

* AwwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: 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.]]

* AwwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: 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.]]

* TeamChef / SupremeChef: Apparently he can make something more-than-decent out of fox carcasses, for crying out loud!

* WTHCostumingDepartment: So he thinks when his stylist makes him go naked to the chariot parade.

* BadassLonghair

* WhatTheHellCostumingDepartment: So he thinks when his stylist makes him go naked to the chariot parade.

* AccidentalMurder: Italo [[spoiler: slips Ermine some poison,]] wanting to see how it will work and not realizing that [[spoiler: it will kill his friend.]]
