History Characters / TheHungerGamesTheBalladOfSongbirdsAndSnakes

* NiceGuy: He's a kind, caring, young man who has compassion for the people in the Districts.

[[folder:Mrs Snow]]

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Volumnia Gaul is one for Professor Annalise Keating, a character Creator/ViolaDavis had portrayed in ''Series/HowToGetAwayWithMurder'' before playing Gaul in this movie. Both Gaul and Annalise are well-known professors working for universities who have taken a special liking to one of their students (Wes for Gaul; Wes for Annalise), excel at their profession (science for Gaul; law for Annalise) and are very [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]]. However, Gaul has none of Annalise’s sympathetic or redeeming qualities, with even Gaul’s liking to Snow being just something she can mold into sharing her nihilistic view on the world, which contrasts with Annalise’s genuine love for Wes.

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: She is an incredibly unpleasant AlphaBitch and Coriolanus doesn't even like her, calling her "poison with perfect teeth". She even brought her death onto herself by taunting her tribute. Nevertheless Coriolanus is deeply upset when she's killed and the incident is portrayed as an example of what the system of Panem makes people into.]]

* AssholeVictim: She was a horrible person, so there isn't much sympathy for her when [[spoiler: she's shot to death by Snow]].

* AddledAddict: He has become dependent on Morphling [[spoiler: due to his guilt over unintentionally creating the Hunger Games]] to the point that he is only barely functional. His students even express surprise that he's allowed to speak at public functions.
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: He's partly (if somewhat unwillingly) responsible for the Hunger Games and abused Coriolanus [[RevengeByProxy to take out his hatred of the boy's father]]. It's still hard not to feel pity for him when he becomes one of the first of many victims of Snow's rise to power, especially as he dies a guilt-ridden addict.]]

The mentor of the District 10 female tribute of the 10th Hunger Games, Brandy.

* AmbiguousSituation: Just what happens to her at the end of the film? [[spoiler:Does she return to District 12 and adopt a new persona after she's sure Snow has left the woods? Does she succeed in escaping Panem? Or does she die in the woods trying to get what we know is District 13 in the north or when Snow shoots her? Like the character from the poem she was named for, her fate is unclear.]]

[[folder:Treech]]
!!Treech
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Hiroki Berrecloth

The District 7 male tribute of the 10th Hunger Games. He is mentored by Vipsania Sickle.

* AdaptationalVillainy: He becomes part of the Career pack in the film.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Lucy Gray kills him through the rat poison, rather than her pet venomous snake.

[[folder:Lamina]]
!!Lamina
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Irene Böhm

The District 7 female tribute of the 10th Hunger Games. She is mentored by Pliny Harrington.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Gaul has Clemensia injected with snake venom for lying to her about working on an assignment that both she and Snow were supposed to do.

* DisabledInTheAdaptation: She has Down syndrome in the film.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Commander Hoff is good-tempered and decent to the Peacekeepers he commands.

* FantasyCounterpartCulture: The Covey seem to be inspired by the UsefulNotes/{{Romani}}, being a group of itinerants who feel that they don't belong to any single regional border and provide musical entertainment to make a living.

* UndignifiedDeath: He contracts rabies from the raccoons who inhabit the monkey cage he was thrown in before the Games starts. In his death throes, he runs around in a confused state as he tries to reach Lucy Gray, who understandably stays away from him, before Coriolanus manages to convince Lysistrata to send a drone to scare him off, causing him to fall to his death.

* SympatheticMurderer: She killed Arachne. But after Arachne teased her with a sandwich when she was in the monkey cage and starving.

* ScaryBlackMan: Aside from Lucy Gray, he is the most mysterious and undoubtedly the most feared tribute of the 10th Hunger Games, having killed a Peacekeeper back home and not afraid to physically intimidate Snow, a mentor, when he wanders into the tributes' truck.

** Even though Casca Highbottom was the one who wrote it and Crassus Snow suggested it, it was Gaul who proposed to actually ''implement'' the Hunger Games as a way to punish the Districts to the extent that their ability to rise again will be severely diminished. As a result, she's responsible for the deaths of at least 23 children every year up until the 74th Hunger Games, even though by that time, she's long dead.[[note]]Accounting for the 50th Hunger Games having twice the tributes, the 74th having two victors, and the 75th being interrupted with six remaining tributes alive, that's 1742 casualties.[[/note]]

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjayPart1'' | ''Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjayPart2''

* OpposingMentors: He and Gaul are this to Snow, with Casca being the good mentor to Gaul being the evil one. {{Deconstructed|Trope}}, though, in that Casca hates Coriolanus for [[spoiler:being the son of the man who betrayed him]] and treats Snow like shit, making Snow much more receptive to Gaul's advice than his.

* SlahedThroat: [[spoiler:Brandy kills her by slashing her throat with a broken glass bottle.]]

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: He makes a defiant speech at the Capitol after wrapping the tributes' bodies in a Capitol flag, which briefly encaptivates everyone, before it is cut off by Gaul's speech.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: When the snake mutts reach him, he calmly closes his eyes and let them devour him.

* DevouredByTheHorde: He meets her end when snake muttations devour him to death.
