Katniss Everdeen
Age: 16
District: 12
Occupation: Student
Katniss Everdeen was born on the 8th of May in District 12, 16 years prior to the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss was close to her father and spent time hunting with him in the woods. There, he taught her about hunting, nature, and how to use a bow and arrow. When she was sixteen, Katniss volunteered to take her sister's place in the Hunger Games when they called Prim's name during the reaping. The other tribute from her district was Peeta Mellark, the boy who had saved her family from starvation during her mother's depression by sneaking her some bread.

Peeta Mellark
Age: 17
Occupation: Student/baker
Although Peeta mellark grew up in the merchant area of District 12, Peeta's childhood was less than desirable, as his family life was difficult. His father was kind, but his mother was known to beat Peeta and his two brothers if they made a mistake. Peeta is selected as the male tribute from District 12 in the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss recognizes him instantly, knowing that he is the boy who, five years prior, purposely burned bread and gave it to her to save her family and herself from starvation - an act that gave her the hope and courage to feed her family
