* DisneyDeath: Finnick is told that [[spoiler:his sister Natare died during the firebombing of District 4. She turns up alive at District 13 a few chapters later.]]

** [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with Finnick himself. He survives his canonical death to the sewer Mutts and becomes an ambassador to countries outside of Panem.]]

* FreakOut: Annie completely loses it when her District partner, the twelve year-old Thomas, is beheaded in front of her. Her screams are so unhinged that the other Tribute leaves her alone and retreats.

* OffWithHisHead: Thomas, Annie's District partner for her Games, is beheaded by another tribute right in front of her. She has a mental breakdown and spends the rest of her Games in a catatonic state.

* DespairEventHorizon: Finnick has a mental breakdown and loses the will to fight with the rebellion when Annie is captured by the Capitol and [[spoiler:Blake, Mara, their children, Coral, and (seemingly) his sister are killed when District 4 is firebombed.]] He spends weeks in a near-catatonic state but recovers when Annie is rescued and [[spoiler:Natare turns up at District 13, completely unharmed.]]

* EntitledToHaveYou: Downplayed. Gale is subtly possessive of Katniss and becomes aggressive towards any near-aged male who hangs out with her, including Finnick. It's this attitude that makes Finnick realize Katniss will never choose Gale.

* DistractedByTheSexy: Pretty much everyone around Finnick, for obvious reasons. He works it to his advantage quite a few times.
* DoomedByCanon: For obvious reasons since every Victor except Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, Annie, Enobaria, Johanna, and Beetee are stated to be dead by the end of ''Literature/{{Mockingjay}}''. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Except not.]] Finnick survives his canonical death and becomes an ambassador to countries outside of Panem.]]

* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:Finnick's father is killed during a hurricane. Mara, Blake (Finnick's friends), their children, and Coral (a District 4 Victor)]] are all killed offscreen when [[spoiler:the Capitol firebombs District 4]].

* ManipulativeBastard: Finnick, on the few occasions he decides to blatantly manipulate someone or a group of people, pulls this off with aplomb. He subtly encourages District 4 to consider rebellion while giving a speech [[spoiler:during his father's funeral]].

WARNING: Possible spoilers may not be hidden.

* BestServedCold: During his Games, after the emotional aftershocks of realizing he's already been warped into a killer, [[spoiler:Finnick swears to get his own back at the Capitol.]]

* ManipulativeBastard: Finnick, on the few occasions he decides to blatantly manipulate someone or a group of people, pulls this off with aplomb.
