  • Bad People Abuse Animals: Implied with Janus. He's known in his district for his "creative" methods of killing animals.

  • Toxic Friend Influence: Implied with Janus, who is this to Vesma. Vesma is described by Eugenia to be less psychotic when compared to her predecessors. However, she's quickly roped into Janus's plan to turn the other tribunes into his personal "prisoners", where she becomes a "prison guard" to keep them in line.

    District Four

  • Signed Language: As a deaf tribute, Victoreen uses sign language to communicate and has a translator during her interview with Eugenia. Since sign language is not usually taught outside of District Five, this prevents her from being able to properly communicate to the District 11 girl that she wanted to ally with her during the Games.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Denison is killed during the bloodbath by Pollux.
    District Six 

Arizona Mendez (85th Games)

  • Et Tu, Brute?: He came to genuinely believe that Madison had forgiven him for bringing her into the Games until she turns on him and stabs him with an arrow.

  • Ms. Fanservice: Panatena uses this angle for getting sponsorship gifts. For example, she offers to strip and flash the camera for wine.
  • Nice Girl: Prior to the Games, she is polite and friendly to everyone around her, including Rubius and the Career Pack. However, the attention she receives in the Games due to her beauty gets to her head and she becomes arrogant and dismissive.
  • Person as Verb: After her Games, "doing a Panatena" or being called "Panatena" becomes shorthand for tributes who use fanservice or seduction to try to get sponsors, allies, or support in the Games.
  • Spoiled Brat: Panatena gradually becomes entitled as the 87th Games go on. As the Capitol's sponsorship and attention get to her head, she demands luxuries from the Capitol and becomes increasingly rude and dismissive of Sheaf. Her attitude eventually leads to him snapping and killing her.
