Place 3: Katniss Everdeen
No winner is as famous as Katniss Everdeen: the girl who is on fire, the mockingjay, the face of the rebellion. Even though she never actively prepared for the arena, she was well-equipped when she volunteered at 16 to take her sister’s place.
As a hunter, she can handle a bow and arrow like few others. And surviving in the wilderness poses little difficulty for her.
She has more trouble dealing with other people. Pretending in front of the cameras does not come naturally to her. Without Peeta, she would likely have received hardly any sponsor gifts.
Although she is not a master manipulator, she is clever nonetheless. She sees through the systems of the gamemakers, outsmarts them time and again, and defiantly resists.
Even though she received a lot of help on her journey, Katniss should not be underestimated. It is no wonder she has become the face of the rebellion.
- Winner of: 74th Hunger Games
- Age at victory: 16
