PERSONALITY & HISTORY
SOCIALLY INEPT: Katniss struggles making human connections due to the fact that she had to grow up too fast when her father died in a mining accident. Her mother, crippled by depression at the loss of her husband, forced Katniss to become the head of house, doing everything she could to that she and her sister survived. Too worried about the bellies she had to feed, that left little time for Katniss to bond with kids her own age. She struggles with sharing personal details about herself and is terrified of being vulnerable. She often acts cold and distant in order to avoid those situations.
STUBBORN: Katniss often sees the world as 'my way or the highway'. Being responsible for herself and Prim for so long, she had to figure out how they could survive. She was the one to put in the work and keep them alive, so she rejects anyone else trying to tell her how she should live. This has made her a bit selfish, but when it truly matters (like defending the ones she loves), she will do all in her power to protect them, even if it wasn't what she'd originally planned.
INDEPENDENT: After her father's death, her mother stopped being a source of support. This taught Katniss early on that even those closest to you could let you down. Because of that, she learned to only rely on herself. The only person she's ever trusted is Gale, and that was mostly only because he could empathize with her situation.
SURVIVALIST: Time and time again, Katniss has evaded death. Starting with the inevitable starvation after her father's death to making it out alive from the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss has fought for her life. Being the stubborn and independent young woman she is, Katniss doesn't accept any fate she hasn't decided upon herself.
HUNTER: Katniss is very skilled with a bow and arrows. She is able to take down a variety of game from rabbits to deer, and nearly always shoots them right in the eyes. She's able to track animals as well as set proficient snares to capture them. Along with hunting, Katniss also has skills in fishing.
GATHERER: She knows which plants are edible and which ones are dangerous. She is able to prepare and cook food to make it edible and prevent sickness.
ADDITIONAL SURVIVAL SKILLS: She can find shelter, though she struggles with camouflaging it to look like a part of nature. She can start fires. She can find water sources.
