Katniss, meanwhile, is four years older and very protective of Prim, and so without hesitation she volunteers to take her sister's place. Moreover, she has years of experience hunting (and therefore killing) and is far less sensitive than her sister, making her more likely to survive the ordeal of the Games.
Sisterly bond: Prim is Katniss's younger sister, and they share a close bond. As the older sister, Katniss has taken on the responsibility of caring for Prim ever since their father died and their mother became emotionally distant.
So, it's clear at the start of the story that Prim is 12, and she is, therefore, 13 when Katniss is forced to enter the Quarter Quell during The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Answer and Explanation: Gale is eighteen in The Hunger Games, two years older than Katniss. Since the citizens of the Districts cannot be selected after they turn nineteen, this is the last year when Gale can be chosen as a Tribute.
Prim From The Hunger Games Is All Grown Up And Gorgeous Now
How old is haymitch?
We learn in Catching Fire that Haymitch is around 16 or 17 when he wins the 50th Hunger Games. He mentors Katniss and Peeta 24 years later making him around 40 in the first book. A year later is catching fire and the year after that is mockingjay. By the end of the series (not including the epilogue) he is around 43.
Effie Trinket has a more significant role in The Hunger Games movie than she did in the book, so it's a bit difficult to gauge how old she is in the first film. However, it is safe to say that the District 12 escort is in her thirties.
Thus, the audience doesn't know how old Katniss is when she dies. The only information the audience has about Katniss' future is that she and Peeta have a child together 15 years after their experiences in the Rebellion (at 33 years old) and that five years later, they have a second child.
Primrose "Prim" Everdeen is Katniss' younger sister. She is 12 years old in The Hunger Games, and has blonde hair and blue eyes. Kind and compassionate, Prim is a skilled healer, a pupil of her mother. In Mockingjay, Prim is chosen by District 13 to train as a doctor.
District 12 has the most Hunger Games victors, with five winners, including Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, and Lucy Gray. Finnick Odair is the youngest winner in history, winning at just 14 years old.
Katniss's father, a coal miner, was killed in a mine explosion when Katniss was 11. After his death, Katniss's mother went into a deep depression and was unable to take care of her children.
Characterization. Peeta is the same age as Katniss, making him 16 years old in The Hunger Games and 17-18 in Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Peeta is of "medium height, stocky build" and has "ashy blond hair that falls in waves over his forehead." He has blue eyes.
Johanna Mason, from District 7 and another major character during the revolution, is around the same age as Finnick and Annie. Johanna won the 71st Hunger Games when she was 17 years old, meaning that she's around 21 or 22 old during Catching Fire and Mockingjay.
She's not overly emotional or even motivated by romance, but instead, she's just trying to survive. However, at times, this can be a weakness. She has a difficult time understanding how she really feels about things, especially when it comes to relationships, and she's even worse at expressing those feelings.
In The Hunger Games, Prim was chosen because she was wearing the mockingjay pin. I noticed Katniss gives Prim the Mockingjay pin before the reaping and prim wears it on her lapel. Considering many in district 12 can't afford jewellery, she stands out during a ceremony that's televised to all citizens.
At the center of the story, we have Katniss Everdeen, a sixteen-year-old from an impoverished family in District 12. Katniss steps into the spotlight when she volunteers as tribute for her sister, Primrose when her name gets selected for the next Hunger Games. Katniss is a brave, caring, and resourceful character.
He only uses Katniss because the Capitol is brutally oppressive and he realizes that, with Katniss's help, the rebels have a real chance of bringing it down. This sort of cynical pragmatism largely defines Haymitch, and it stems from a combination of realism and a rebellious spirit.
She later realizes, after a conversation with the imprisoned President Snow, that President Alma Coin sent Prim to her death (which was caused by a hovercraft by the rebels) both to sway the Capitol citizens to Coin's side by making them think Snow was bombing the children, and to swing Katniss to her side through the ...
In both instances, Prim is a major and welcome source of comfort, care, and love for Katniss. Katniss has spent years trying to be strong for Prim, but now it is Prim's turn to take care of her older sister. Just like Cinna, Prim is a contributing factor to Katniss' desire to overthrow Snow and save Peeta.
l Peeta did it so that the citizens of the Capitol would be unhappy with President Snow/the Gamemakers. Because of course they would be outraged if they were going to kill one of their favourite victors AND her unborn child.
It's only implied that they get it on via snuggling and other affectionate acts in close quarters — but if you have read the book, they really imply that they took their relationship to the next level.
Rue. Rue is the youngest tribute of the 74th Hunger Games, at only 12 years old. She is small and very smart, and survives the first few days in the arena by hiding in trees. She and Katniss become allies after Rue points out a Tracker Jacker nest, which Katniss avoids and then uses to take out several Career tributes.
While, throughout the series, there's some chemistry between the two, nothing ever comes of the tension in Suzanne Collins' novels. Beyond the kiss, nothing happened between the two in the movies either. As it turns out, however, the kiss was a surprise to the rest of the cast and crew of the movie too.
Answer and Explanation: Finnick Odair is 24 in Catching Fire. He was 14 when he won the 65th Hunger Games, ten years before the events of Catching Fire. A skilled fighter who is adept at surviving seemingly unbeatable odds, he is one of the Capitol citizens' favorite Victors.
