Katniss Everdeen

Katniss Everdeen is the protagonist of Suzanne Collins's *Hunger Games* trilogy, a teenage girl from an impoverished district who volunteers for a televised death match to save her younger sister.

The character has become a symbol of youthful rebellion against authoritarian power: She's giving Katniss Everdeen—ready to take down the whole system.

Her signature weapon is a bow and arrow.
