The Hunger Games

Katniss Everdeen

Katniss Everdeen, known as ‘The Girl on Fire,’ volunteered as tribute for The Hunger Games, a battle royale, in place of her sister. She survived the games with Peeta due to her resourcefulness, hunting skills, and a strategic alliance. Her defiance sparked a rebellion, leading her to participate in the games again and eventually join the fight against President Snow to dismantle the dystopian regime. This thread covers only the novel series.
