The following is a list of characters in ''The Hunger Games'' trilogy, a series of young adult science fiction novels by Suzanne Collins that were later adapted into a series of four feature films. ==Main characters== *Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) is the protagonist and narrator of the series. She is 16 years old at the beginning of the first book and is portrayed as quiet, independent, and fierce. She has long dark hair (which she wears in a single side braid), olive skin, and grey eyes, all characteristics of "The Seam" part of District 12.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thehungergames.co.uk/who_will_you_support )〕 Katniss likes the color green because of her familiarity with forests. Katniss lives with her mother and younger sister, Primrose (nicknamed "Prim"), after the death of her father, who was killed in a mining accident and left her mother deeply depressed, forcing Katniss to become the breadwinner of the family. When Prim is reaped at the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss volunteers to take her place. The series then chronicles her efforts to survive the game, using such skills as hunting with bow and arrow, and how her skills significantly impact her and everyone around her. Eventually, her choice at the end of the game to spare both District 12 tributes, as co-winners, change Panem forever, because the districts see her as the symbol of rebellion against the tyrannical Capitol and its leader, President Snow. *Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) is the male tribute from District 12 in both the 74th and 75th Hunger Games. He is 16 years old with fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes, characteristics of the town section of District 12, which is wealthier than Katniss' district, Seam. Peeta is a baker's son with two brothers, a quiet father, and a mother who openly stated her belief and pride that Katniss could win the 74th Hunger Games. While Katniss likes green, Peeta likes the color of sunset orange. Peeta is charismatic, which helps him and Katniss tremendously during the games to entice sponsors to support them. Peeta has been in love with Katniss ever since he first saw her during elementary school and declares his love for her during the Pre-Games Interview, though Katniss at first thinks it is a ploy to charm sponsors. Unlike Katniss, who possesses considerable survival skills, Peeta's only abilities are interpersonal skills, hefting heavy objects, and painting; he honed the latter two by helping his parents in the bakery. *Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth) is an 18-year-old boy who lives in District 12. He is Katniss' best friend and her hunting partner. They first met while Katniss was attempting to hunt to feed her family following their fathers' deaths. Gale, described by Katniss as muscular and very handsome, catches the attention of girls in District 12. Both Gale and Katniss bear the typical looks of those from the Seam: dark hair, olive skin, and grey eyes. Like Katniss, Gale lives with his mother, Hazelle, and three younger siblings after his father's death in the same mining accident that took the life of Katniss' father. Though Hazelle is still working to support her children (in contrast to Mrs. Everdeen), Gale is the main breadwinner of the family. :In the second book, ''Catching Fire'', Katniss returns to District 12, but their relationship cannot continue as it was, since Katniss and Peeta must play the part of lovers due to threats from the Capitol. Gale confesses his love for Katniss after she asks him to run away with her. Soon afterward, he is brutally whipped in public for hunting on Capitol land. He and Katniss prepare to fight as it becomes clear that a rebellion is about to begin. However, Katniss, along with Peeta, is selected for the Third Quarter Quell and must leave District 12 to return to the Games. Once again, Gale is forced to say goodbye to Katniss as she prepares for a fight to the death. :In ''Mockingjay'', Gale fights in the rebellion in an epic war. District 12 is destroyed, and Gale leads approximately 10% of the population to safety. The survivors are forced to move to what is left of District 13. Once the people of District 13 are aware of Gale's heroism, they reward him with a higher ranking and a communicuff (which is later taken from him as punishment for helping Katniss in the war). Towards the end of the book, his relationship with Katniss deteriorates because he feels responsible for the death of Prim, Katniss' sister (caused by a bomb he had constructed). He mentions that he would always remind Katniss of Prim's death, which Katniss silently agrees with. Afterwards, Gale decides to remain in District 2. *Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) is a "paunchy, middle-aged man" who won the 50th Hunger Games (the Second Quarter Quell) 24 years prior to the first book.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.goodreads.com/characters/32726-haymitch-abernathy )〕 He seems to come from The Seam, like Katniss and Gale, as he is described with similar physical characteristics: dark hair and olive skin. When he was 15, Haymitch was reaped for the Second Quarter Quell, wherein four tributes from each district were forced into the arena. He became an ally to a girl named Maysilee Donner, the original owner of Katniss' symbolic mockingjay pin, but was later forced to watch her die. During the Games, he discovered a wall of shrubbery at the edge of the Arena that concealed a force field, which ricocheted anything thrown in its direction. During the final moments of the Games, Haymitch (severely wounded) positioned himself by the edge, knowing that when his opponent flung her weapon at him, he could duck and the force field would hurl it back at her. His plan was successful, leaving Haymitch the victor. Within two weeks of his victory, Haymitch's mother, younger brother, and girlfriend were killed by President Snow as punishment for Haymitch's having used the force field to his advantage. Haymitch became an example of what happens to those who defy the Capitol. :After his victory, he became an alcoholic and has spent almost all of the next 24 years intoxicated. As the only surviving victor from District 12 (one of only two in the history of the Games), Haymitch has been forced to mentor all of its tributes, which consumed him with guilt by being obligated to participate in the Games that he hated. He dealt with these feelings with alcohol and by openly flouting the dignity of the games. He treats Peeta and Katniss with contempt, and initially is sarcastic, expending no effort to help them. However, when Katniss confronts him, he is stirred from his stupor and emerges as the pair's greatest advocate, impressed by her determination and Peeta's patience. Haymitch shows himself to be highly canny as he guides his protégés in a cleverly designed, highly unorthodox strategy aimed at ensuring the survival of both tributes. :In the book ''Catching Fire'', the liquor supply in District 12 runs out. As a result, Haymitch suffers from alcohol withdrawal. It is left to Katniss and Peeta to coax him back to health (and get him more liquor). After this incident, Katniss begins to develop a true affection and respect for him. When Katniss discovers that Haymitch and his allies from District 13 and the Capitol failed to save Peeta from the arena as they did her, she claws him in the face. In ''Mockingjay'', Haymitch is forced to go through detox in District 13, as they do not permit the consumption of alcohol. During the voting to decide whether or not the final Hunger Games will use the Capitol children, Haymitch votes yes, understanding Katniss' decision to make President Coin think she is on her side. After this, he continues to serve as a mentor to Katniss and Peeta; however, he never truly repairs his relationship with either of them and resumes his drinking after the war ends. Haymitch and Katniss, despite nearly always working towards the same goals, are usually hostile towards one another, because they have similarly prickly personalities; also, Katniss and Peeta both resent Haymitch for keeping information from both of them, sometimes at the request of the other. *Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) is a Capitol-born chaperone who was assigned to oversee District 12's tributes in the Hunger Games, specifically Katniss and Peeta in the 74th and 75th Games. She must carry out such tasks as drawing the tributes' names at the reaping and escorting them to the Capitol. At first, she detests her association with District 12 and hopes to be promoted to a better, richer district after she pays her dues for a few years. Later, Effie becomes attached to her District 12 charges, though it is unclear if this is because of their particular charms, or because of their fame and success, which reflect well upon her. She has no moral qualms about the Hunger Games or the Capitol, and appears totally oblivious to the misfortunes of District 12. She does not appear to be very intelligent and gets basic facts wrong, such as confusing how diamonds and pearls are made. Effie always seems to wear wigs of different colors for various "special" occasions, is very strict about manners, and is always punctual. Katniss notes in the first book that "although she can be tiresome, Effie has a very keen instinct about certain things" and "a certain determination I admire". Effie's catchphrase in the first book is "Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ''ever'' in your favor!" In ''Mockingjay'', it is said that she was imprisoned after Katniss' escape, but, unlike many others Katniss knew in the Capitol, she is not executed. She meets up again with Katniss before Snow's execution, and Katniss notes that she has a "vacant look" in her eyes. :In the films, Effie's role in the third film, the first adaptation of ''Mockingjay'', are expanded as, rather than getting captured, she defects for the Rebellion and effectively replaces the role of Katniss' prep team, who does not appear beyond the second film. *Cinna (Lenny Kravitz) is Katniss and Peeta's stylist, responsible for her public appearance. After designing the spectacular outfits for the opening ceremony, which include costumes ignitable with synthetic fire, he nicknames Katniss "the Girl On Fire". Cinna is in his first year as a stylist for the Games and specifically requested to be assigned to District 12. His amazing designs immediately win over the audience in favor of the District 12 tributes. Despite (or perhaps because of) his professional interest in image, Cinna proves to be better than most at seeing through the superficial spectacle of the Games to their barbaric core, "using outfits as a vehicle to express potentially dangerous ideas". He and Katniss establish an easy, comfortable relationship, and he demonstrates a genuine concern for her well-being. :In ''Catching Fire'', Cinna dresses Katniss for her television interview in her wedding dress, as insisted by President Snow, but alters it so that when Katniss raises her arms and twirls, the white dress burns away to be replaced with a black dress of feathers that resembles a mockingjay, which has become the symbol of the resistance in Panem. Because of this, Cinna is savagely beaten in front of Katniss, right before she enters the arena for the Quarter Quell, which unnerves her greatly. It is suggested that he might have been tortured to death after the arena explodes. Effie Trinket states in ''Mockingjay, Part 1'' before showing Katniss sketches of her Mockingjay costume made by Cinna that he is dead. Cinna is very different from the other inhabitants of the Capitol; he does not use surgery to alter his features, wears simple black clothes, and leaves his hair its natural dark brown color, close cropped. His only concession to the Capitol's fashion style is a small amount of gold eyeliner that brings out the gold flecks in his eyes. *President Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland) is the main antagonist of the series, the autocratic ruler of the Capitol and all of Panem. Though seemingly laid-back, his demeanor hides a sadistic and psychopathic mind. He initially appears in ''The Hunger Games'' giving the official welcome at the opening of the Games, but he does not speak to Katniss face-to-face until ''Catching Fire'', when he pays her a visit at home and tells her he is angry that both she and Peeta were allowed to survive the Hunger Games, as their act of defiance (preferring joint suicide to the prospect of one killing the other) has ignited rebellion in several of the Districts. She is too prominent to kill, but he threatens her family and Gale unless she proves to the Districts that her act of saving Peeta was merely that of a love-crazed teenager and was not related to any desire to defy the Capitol. Later, Snow indicates to her that she failed in this, meaning that some or all of his threats will come true. President Snow is described as having very puffy lips, which are most likely the result of an appearance-altering operation that is very popular in the Capitol. Katniss describes him as exuding a smell of blood and roses. :In ''Mockingjay'', it is revealed that the smell of blood is due to oral sores he got from one of the poisons that he used to kill people in his megalomaniacal efforts to control Panem. He drank the poison in order to allay suspicions, then took the antidote, but it could not cure his sores. He also smells strongly of genetically enhanced roses, as he always wears a white rose in his lapel to cover the scent of blood. The strong smell invariably makes Katniss gag. He is said to have prostituted winning tributes, like Finnick Odair, forcing them to have sex with wealthy Capitol citizens, under threat of killing their loved ones if they refused. Snow claims he only kills for a purpose, and he promises Katniss he will always tell her the truth. Whether these assertions are true or not is left up to interpretation by Katniss. He dies at the end of ''Mockingjay'', after Katniss shoots President Coin instead of him, though the rebels are unable to determine whether it was by choking to death on his own blood from his untreated mouth sores or because he was trampled by the mob in the panic following President Coin's assassination. *Primrose Everdeen (Willow Shields), an ingénue character, nicknamed "Prim", is Katniss' younger sister. She was 12 years old in ''The Hunger Games'' and presumably 13 years old in ''Catching Fire'' and ''Mockingjay''. Like her mother, she has blonde hair and blue eyes. Prim is kind, gentle, and sweet. She is a skilled healer, having been taught by her mother. In ''Mockingjay'', Prim is singled out by District 13 to be trained as a doctor. During ''Catching Fire'' and ''Mockingjay'', Katniss sees a change in Prim's personality, as the girl has become more solemn and mature. Katniss states in the books that Prim is "the only person I'm certain I love". :At the Reaping for the 74th Hunger Games, Effie Trinket pulls Prim's name to be the female tribute for District 12. Katniss volunteers to take her place in the Games. Before Katniss leaves for the Capitol, Prim makes her promise to try hard to win the Games. This promise guides many of Katniss' actions in the game, and Katniss' sacrifice for Prim makes her a popular symbol in the Capitol, as people love the story, prompting Johanna to note that the Capitol will never threaten Prim to get to Katniss because of the potential outcry. In ''Mockingjay'', Prim is sent by President Alma Coin into the rebellion battle against the Capitol to serve as a casualty nurse. During this battle, Prim is killed in a bombing, causing Katniss to fall into a deep depression. President Snow later reveals to Katniss that the bombing was planned by the rebels to galvanize public opinion against the Capitol, to make people think that the Capitol caused the accident, and then had timed a second explosion to detonate when the medical corps arrived to assist survivors. Katniss had been told by Gale that this was a strategy being contemplated by the rebels. Knowledge of this information leads Katniss to execute President Coin, instead of President Snow. *Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin) is the male tribute from District 4 who was reaped into the Third Quarter Quell. He is 24 years old and described as being very handsome, muscular, athletic and tall with tan skin, bronze hair, and stunning sea-green eyes. He is very popular among the people of the Capitol, both because he is a victorious Career tribute and a sex symbol, known for having many female lovers in the Capitol, none of whom he stays with for long. At age 14, he won the 65th Hunger Games by using a trident and a net against other tributes (a skill unique to District 4's trade of fishing). Katniss remarks that the trident given to him by a sponsor may have been the most expensive gift ever seen in the Games. :During the Quarter Quell, Katniss is hesitant to make Finnick her ally, because she does not trust him—to her, he appears to be shallow, arrogant, and superficial. However, Finnick soon proves to be trustworthy by saving Peeta by using CPR to resuscitate him (which Katniss notes as, "one of the things I will never stop owing him for"), and using his skills to provide shelter. When jabberjays that make sounds of the screams of loved ones being tortured appear in the Quell, the one made to target Finnick uses the voice of Annie Cresta, his "poor, mad" lover in District 4, who was also a victor of the Games. In ''Mockingjay'', Finnick enters a deep depression, a result of Annie's being held prisoner by the Capitol. He assists with the rebellion by appearing in rebel propaganda. He later reveals that victors of the Games are often prostituted to wealthy citizens of the Capitol by President Snow, which resulted in Finnick's reputation for having many lovers. He also reveals all of the political secrets he learned from clients, including the fact that President Snow only became the leader of Panem by poisoning his opponents. Finnick is reunited with Annie (when District 13 retrieves her, Johanna, and Peeta from the Capitol), and marry. Finnick is a member of the "Star Squad" that goes to fight in the Capitol during the final stages of the rebellion. He is decapitated by lizard muttations (or "mutts") during the attempt to infiltrate the Capitol. Some months after his death, Annie has their son. *Johanna Mason (Jena Malone) is the female tribute from District 7. She won her original Hunger Games by pretending she was a weakling and a coward, so no one regarded her as a threat, but when only a few tributes remained, she revealed herself to be a vicious killer. Haymitch implies that she may have been prostituted by President Snow, as Finnick was, but it is also implied that she refused to be prostituted, causing the Capitol to kill her family and friends. She later states "there is no one left I love". :Sarcastic and rebellious, Johanna's first meeting with Katniss involves her stripping naked out of her tree costume in order to make Katniss uncomfortable. Johanna teams up with Katniss, Peeta, and Finnick in the Quarter Quell, bringing Beetee and Wiress with her. Johanna takes part in the committee to keep Katniss and Peeta alive, and helps by protecting Katniss throughout the Games. Near the end of ''Catching Fire'' she removes the tracker in Katniss' arm by cutting it out with a knife. Johanna is captured by the Capitol at the end of ''Catching Fire.'' In the third book, she is rescued, along with Peeta and Annie, and brought to District 13, where she fights with rebel forces and improves her friendship with Katniss. She is to fight in the Capitol with Katniss (although not as a sharpshooter—being from an area where lumber is the main export, her main weapon is the axe) but during training in District 13 she panics when the training arena is deliberately flooded, as she has developed a fear of water as a result of her Capitol torture (being soaked in water and given electric shocks). Because she and Katniss refuse to be held in the District 13 hospital to treat their supposed mental illnesses, they convince the officials of District 13 to let them room together. Johanna is part of the committee that votes whether or not to hold one last Hunger Game using the Capitol's children: she votes yes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of The Hunger Games characters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
