During the yearly "Reaping" of tributes for the gladiator-like Hunger Games, Katniss' younger sister, Primrose (Prim) is selected as District 12's female tribute. Katniss volunteers to take Prim's place.
(This excludes Maysilee since even though she has killed a career tribute to save Haymitch, she was killed in the 50th Hunger Games). There were only two volunteer tributes from District 12, Katniss for Prim in the 74th games and Peeta for Haymitch in the Third Quarter Quell.
Against all odds, Prim's name is selected at the reaping. Katniss volunteers to take the place of her younger sister and becomes District 12's girl tribute for the 74th Hunger Games. Peeta Mellark, a boy Katniss' age and the son of the baker, is selected as the other tribute.
District 12 has the most prominent victors with Katniss, Peeta, Haymitch, and Lucy Gray making up its four winners. As for the rest, District 4 has three while Districts 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 have two each.

Who is the girl tribute chosen from District 12?
District 12 has only three living victors: Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch, who won the 50th Games and successfully mentored Katniss the year before. As Katniss is the only living female victor in District 12, she is the only possible female tribute, and Peeta volunteers to take Haymitch's place when Haymitch is selected.
The survivors were rescued three days later by District 13 hovercraft; however, the majority of the district's people were killed in the firebombing. After its destruction, the rebels utilized District 12 as a transportation base to send troops to the Capitol.
After his victory, President Snow has Haymitch's family murdered in retaliation for his manipulating the force field. Haymitch becomes an alcoholic, spending the next few decades drinking himself to numb the pain.
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.
Later, the two learn President Snow considered their actions to be an act of rebellion against the Capitol. After their last interview, in which the two continue to affect their romantic feelings for one another, Peeta comes to the realization Katniss has staged her love for him all along.
Haymitch Abernathy (played by Woody Harrelson in the Hunger Games movies) was the brusque, boorish mentor and overseer for Katniss and Peeta. Like them, Haymitch is from the area of District 12 and once competed in the Hunger Games himself.
Katniss returned to District 12, where she reunited with Peeta after she couldn't allow herself to fully forgive her childhood best friend. Meanwhile, Katniss and Peeta supported each other in the recovery process before starting a family.
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.
Though her family is now very wealthy and has plenty of food to eat due to her having won the Hunger Games, Katniss still illegally hunts every day in the woods outside of District 12 because she needs to provide food for Gale's family.
How many times was Prim's name entered for the reaping?
Katniss, who is sixteen, will have her name in twenty times, and Gale, who is eighteen, will have his in forty-two times. Katniss's sister, Prim, is only twelve and has taken no tesserae, so her name is only in once.
He is said to be strong, young, with dark and curly hair. Katniss even admitted that he looked attractive, especially with the grey Seam eyes he had, making him look dangerous. During these times, he was mentored by Rummage Lorman, since he is the only victor before Haymitch won.
Even though the Capitol had far more nukes than 13, they could not risk having the entire country destroyed because of a nuclear war. As a result of their political isolation, District 13 has never participated in The Hunger Games.
The victor tributes from 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 11 all had knowledge of the plan, which explains why it seemed everyone was working to protect her and Peeta.
Johanna won the 71st Hunger Games by pretending to be weak and that made all the other tributes leave her for last. Then she unleashed her full potential and violently killed all the remaining tributes. Johanna, being the only remaining District 7 female victor, was Reaped for the 75th Hunger Games.
Katniss's focus on survival and her family's safety prevented her from fully considering romance, but her feelings for Peeta and Gale diverged in the end. Katniss ultimately chose Peeta because he understood her trauma and she didn't want to lose him, proving her love for him.
Jennifer Lawrence does not appear in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, as the prequel film is set before Katniss Everdeen's time. The decision to exclude Lawrence's character was likely the best move for the prequel film, as it would have seemed forced to include her.
