4	%% Everyone or nearly everyone in Literature/TheHungerGames dies permanently, so KilledOffForReal cannot apply here; note, Mutts based on dead characters don't count as resurrections.

29	The President of District 13 and the leader of the rebellion against the Capitol by the people of the districts of Panem.
30	----
31	* AdaptationalHeroism: In the books, Katniss finds her Prep Team (Octavia, Flavius, Venia) locked up and severely beaten in a prison within District 13 for taking more bread than designated. Katniss speculates this was done on President Coin's orders to warn everyone (including Plutarch and Fulvia) that she was in charge, and to send a clear message about what would happen to those who didn't obey her. In the movies, this doesn't happen since the Prep Team is AdaptedOut, and Effie takes their place where she is neither beaten nor mistreated.
32	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: She still doesn't get along swimmingly with Katniss, but she does have softer moments here than in the book. Despite her questionable decisions, she does come across as distinctly more human than her book counterpart. [[spoiler:Lessened in Part 2 where we begin to see that her better qualities were a ruse used to gather and maintain support for the Rebellion.]] This was supposedly an attempt to prop up the twist that [[spoiler: she was EvilAllAlong and make Katniss killing her even more of a shock]].
33	* 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.]]
34	* 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.]]
35	* 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.]]
36	* CrucifiedHeroShot: [[spoiler:She's not a hero by any means, but she takes this position when Katniss shoots her.]]
37	* 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]].
38	* DiesWideOpen: [[spoiler:She dies with her eyes still open as she never expected Katniss to shoot her instead of Snow.]]
39	* DistaffCounterpart: To President Snow.
40	* {{Evil All Along}}: [[spoiler:Is revealed to be just as power-hungry and remorseless as President Snow, and responsible for Prim's death.]]
41	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Once the revolution is over and she assumes power, she wears her hair shorter, at only shoulder-length.
42	* 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]].]]
43	* IronLady: Very stoic and ruthless, as befitting a woman leading a resistance.
44	* 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.]]
45	* KickTheDog: [[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.]]
46	* LaResistance: She's the official leader of the resistance battling against the Capitol.
47	* LadyOfWar: As the leader of District 13 and the war effort.
48	* 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, and her clothing gets lighter as her dark morality becomes more pronounced.]]
49	* 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.]]
50	* 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.]]
51	* MirrorCharacter: [[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.]]
52	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Her daughter died during the epidemic that struck District 13 a few years before the start of ''Mockingjay''.
53	* PunnyName: The faces of presidents tend to be put on United States coins.
54	* 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.]]
55	* 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.]]
56	* 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]]
57	* 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.]]
58	* 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. She also arranges for Prim to die in said bombing by having her sent to the front lines, knowing she will try to aid the children, in an attempt to mentally destroy Katniss]].

67	President Coin's right hand man.
68	----
69	* BaldOfAuthority: He's the leader of District 13's military and personally leads the Star Squad that accompanies Katniss when she infiltrates the Capitol.
70	* ColonelBadass: Identifies himself in the movies explicitly as a Colonel and Head of District 13’s security. He’s thoroughly a badass and personally takes to the field.
71	* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:After having his legs blown off by a mine, he dies in Katniss' arms, giving her some final warnings.]]
72	* IntergenerationalFriendship: He settles into this with Katniss, who's much younger than him.
73	* NumberTwo: To President Coin.
74	* 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.]]
75	* 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.]]
76	* TheStoic: He tends not to show an excess of emotion.

87	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Torn apart by the lizard mutts]].
88	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler: She survives until the Meat Grinder pod in the book, where she then dies holding off the mutts; in the movie, she instead becomes the mutts' first victim when they catch her off-guard.]]
89	* GoodIsNotNice: She's not overly personable, but she's a dedicated rebel and courageous soldier.
90	* IronLady: Jackson is one tough woman, to say the least of it. She's cold and strong.
91	* 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.]]
92	* 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.]]

119	----
120	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the book, Leeg 2 dies to an unmarked pod while Leeg 1 sacrifices herself to buy time for the others against the lizard mutts at the Meat Grinder. Here, one of them is wounded by the same mine that kills Boggs, and they both stay behind to fend off a platoon of Peacekeepers from a building until the Peacekeepers collapse it on them.]]
121	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:They draw the attention of the Peacekeepers, even knowing they wouldn't survive.]]
122	* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler:After being badly injured, one of the Leegs chooses to stay behind so the team won't be impeded.]]
123	* 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.]]
124	* SiblingTeam: They're close twin sisters and soldiers.
125	* 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]].
