* BigBad: [[spoiler: Seizes control from Snow after his defeat nearing the end of ''Mockingjay Part 2'', and proves herself to be TheChessmaster instead of him and the final villain of the series, bombing Capitol children (including Prim) with a Hovercraft to trick people into believing Snow responsible. She insists on holding a new Hunger Games with Capitol children as an act of satisfying vengeance, but Katniss manages to take her out before her threat truly begins.]]
* BigGood: Due to being a DistaffCounterpart to President Snow and the leader of the Rebellion. [[spoiler:Cruelly subverted given how it's all an act.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:''Mockingjay Part 2'' reveals that she's even ''more'' insidious and power-hungry than Snow. But manages to hide it well enough to con District 13 and the Rebellion at large into granting her power.]]

* DistaffCounterpart: To President Snow.
* FalseFlagOperation: [[spoiler:How she beats Snow; Coin used captured Capitol bombers to bomb a group of Capitol children and District 13 children (including the protagonist's sister). The fact that they bear the insignia of the Capitol and Coin used them as a Secret Weapon implicates Snow and [[EvenEvilHasStandards causes the last of his supporters to turn against him]].]]
%%* IronLady

* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:She and Snow are two sides of the same coin. Plus Alma means "soul" in Spanish- further showing that her soul has two sides.]]

* TheResenter: More present in the books, but aspects of it are there in the films as well, as [[spoiler:she comes to see Katniss as a threat to her growing power, especially in ''Mockingjay Part 2'' and repeatedly tries to sideline and assassinate her by proxy. She ultimately fails, but by that point she has come to believe she has Katniss under her thumb and her own power secure. Katniss then promptly and publicly executes her.]]

* BigGood: Due to being a DistaffCounterpart to President Snow and the leader of the Rebellion. [[spoiler:Cruelly subverted given how it's all an act.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:''Mockingjay Part 2'' reveals that she's even ''more'' insidious and power-hungry than Snow. But manages to hide it well enough to con District 13 and the Rebellion at large into granting her power.]]
* CrucifiedHeroShot: [[spoiler:She's not a hero by any means, but she takes this position when Katniss shoots her.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her entire family was killed due to one of District 13's pox epidemics, [[spoiler:assuming this wasn't a lie she told to try and gain District 13 and the Rebellion's sympathy]].
* DistaffCounterpart: To President Snow.
* FalseFlagOperation: [[spoiler:How she beats Snow; Coin used captured Capitol bombers to bomb a group of Capitol children and District 13 children (including the protagonist's sister). The fact that they bear the insignia of the Capitol and Coin used them as a Secret Weapon implicates Snow and [[EvenEvilHasStandards causes the last of his supporters to turn against him]].]]
%%* IronLady
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Coin's "inauguration speech" as President of Panem is an appeal to Katniss to strike down the great threat to freedom in Panem before the gathered crowd, which she immediately does... by killing Coin herself. Coin, meanwhile, was explicitly talking about President Snow.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:Her final strike against the Capitol, killing a crowd of children in front of Snow's mansion with a decoy Capitol bomber, was entirely unnecessary and both Snow and Coin knew it. She had already won, Panem was functionally hers, but she wanted to crush Snow personally, so she ordered the strike anyway.]]
* LaResistance: She's the official leader of the resistance battling against the Capitol.
* LadyOfWar: As the leader of District 13 and the war effort.
* LightIsNotGood: [[spoiler:She dresses in muted greys and whites, but she's far from a good person. She reveals herself to be just as power-hungry and ruthless as Snow, if not more so.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:Coin was a genuine rebel leader, but she still manipulated all the Districts and the Capitol itself into turning on Snow and placing her in charge as PresidentForLife. Snow, the manipulative bastard's ManipulativeBastard, is very impressed.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:She and Snow are two sides of the same coin. Plus Alma means "soul" in Spanish- further showing that her soul has two sides.]]
* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler: Not long after defeating the Capitol, Coin suggests that the best form of retribution is to have the children of the Capitol participate in a Hunger Games. History once again repeats itself.]]
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Her daughter died during the epidemic that struck District 13 a few years before the start of ''Mockingjay''.
* PunnyName: The faces of presidents tend to be put on United States coins.
* PresidentForLife: [[spoiler:After Snow is brought down, Coin appoints herself interim president with a vague promise that maybe they'll have an election somewhere down the line. Nobody is buying it.]]
* TheResenter: More present in the books, but aspects of it are there in the films as well, as [[spoiler:she comes to see Katniss as a threat to her growing power, especially in ''Mockingjay Part 2'' and repeatedly tries to sideline and assassinate her by proxy. She ultimately fails, but by that point she has come to believe she has Katniss under her thumb and her own power secure. Katniss then promptly and publicly executes her.]]
* RevengeByProxy: [[spoiler:She intends to satisfy her - and supposedly the rebels' - thirst for vengeance by having the Capitol children participate in a new Hunger Games. Thankfully, it never comes to fruition]]
* WidowWoman: Lost her husband to the same epidemic that took their daughter.
* WorthyOpponent: She comes to be seen as this by Snow. [[spoiler:It's cemented when she kills a group of Capitol children and frames Snow for it.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: As in the book, she doesn't do it directly herself, but she has Capitol children blown up to make it look like Snow was behind their deaths]].

->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MahershalaAli
President Coin's right hand man.
----
* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: He's the leader of District 13's military and personally leads the Star Squad that accompanies Katniss when she infiltrates the Capitol.
* BaldOfAwesome: Bald and badass.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:After having his legs blown off by a mine, he dies in Katniss' arms, giving her some final warnings.]]
* IntergenerationalFriendship: He settles into this with Katniss, who's much younger than him.
* NumberTwo: To President Coin.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He's the first of the Star Team to die; the fact that an experienced badass is taken out so quickly serves to show just how deadly the mission will be.]]
* ScaryBlackMan: Although on Katniss' side and therefore one of the good guys, Boggs still cuts an intimidating figure due to his height, cold professionalism and badassery. [[spoiler:It's ultimately subverted as well in that he's ultimately shown to be loyal to Katniss rather than President Coin, warning her of Coin's dark side just before he dies.]]
* TheStoic: He tends not to show an excess of emotion.

!Star Squad
[[folder:Lt. Jackson]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MichelleForbes
%%* ActionGirl
* GoodIsNotNice: She's not overly personable, but she's a dedicated rebel and courageous soldier.
* IronLady: Jackson is one tough woman, to say the least of it. She's cold and strong.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite being a hardass, she shows a considerable amount of patience for Peeta, who is still BrainwashedAndCrazy. [[spoiler: It's also revealed that she knew all along that Katniss was lying about her orders to assassinate Snow, but decided to put her trust in her regardless.]]
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: [[spoiler:Averted. Following Boggs' death, Katniss is reticent to acquiesce to her authority and turn over mission-critical intel and equipment to her out of fear she's a part of Coin's plot against her. Those fears prove entirely unfounded.]]

* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler:After being badly injured, one of the Leegs chooses to stay behind so the team won't be impeded.]]
* LastStand: [[spoiler:They hold off the hordes of Peacekeepers with no hope of victory, just taking down as many as they can. The HopeSpot of them seemingly prevailing is immediately dashed when the Capitol forces simply level the building with rocket-propelled grenades and tank fire rather than throw anymore Peacekeepers at it.]]
* SiblingTeam: They're close twin sisters and soldiers.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:They seemingly win a hopeless firefight against Capitol ground forces on their own only for the building they're fighting from to be blasted to rubble seconds later by Capitol heavy ordinance while Katniss and her team watch in horror]].
