History Characters / TheHungerGamesLiteraturePastTributes

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:She doesn't appear when President Coin gathers the surviving tributes to vote for the Revenge Hunger Games. Since Coin explicitly says that she has gathered ''all'' surviving tributes, this means that she must have died off-screen, but the specifics are never revealed.]]

** CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Beetee in turn is describe as having to translate for her and given their ages it’s likely he was her mentor.

%%* FamilyOfChoice: With Peeta and Katniss.

* BirdsOfAFeather: Has a lot of similarities to Katniss. Perversely this often results in them taking out their own self-hatred on each other.

* BrilliantButLazy: Though ''Catching Fire'' shows that he's damn smart when it comes down to it, he doesn't put any effort into helping his Tributes at all. [[spoiler:That being said, it's heavily implied that he considers winning the Games a FateWorseThanDeath, making it possible that he is deliberately (or subconsciously) preventing kids becoming Victors as a result.]]

* ParentalFavoritism: Surrogate variety, but Katniss is often annoyed by his confessed fondness for Peeta.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed. She is the only Career among the surviving Victors, making her allegiance ambiguous. However, Katniss still demands that she be saved along with the other Victors, and later on, she exhibits a vindictive attitude against the Capitol by voting yes for the Revenge Hunger Games, which puts her nominally on the rebels' side.

* BackToBackBadasses: They won consecutive Hunger Games, being the only known siblings to do so.

* FamedInStory: One of the most popular victors.

A past tribute from District 4, who won her Games by being able to swim to safety when the arena was flooded. She is Finnick's partner but their relationship is kept secret.

* SuperSwimmingSkills: How she won her Games, out-swimming the other tributes after the arena flooded.

* AdaptedOut: She isn't mentioned in the first ''Mockingjay'' film. In the second, she appears only when the surviving victors are reunited.

A former Victor from District 2 and [[spoiler:commander of the rebellion in District 2.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:She doesn't appear when President Coin gathers the surviving tributes together, implying that she died off-screen, but the specifics are never revealed.]]

A pair of former victors from District 3, electronics and explosives. [[spoiler:Like Johanna and Finnick, both are part of the alliance of victors whose job it is to make sure Katniss and Peeta survive the Quell.]]

* NoFullNameGiven: Their surnames are never given in the books. [[NamedByTheAdaptation Beetee's surname is given as 'Latier' in the movies]], however.

A devilishly handsome former victor from District 4, the fishing district. Best known for being one of the youngest victors (he was fourteen at the time) and for the string of broken hearts he leaves behind him in the Capitol. Won his Games by earning so many sponsors that he earned himself an ornate trident that he used to single-handedly destroy the rest of the competition. [[spoiler:He later allies himself with Katniss and Peeta during the Third Quarter Quell, and turns out to be a rebel who is surreptitiously using his unique position as a former victor and quell participant to make sure the two of them survive so Katniss can become the figurehead of the second rebellion.]]

* AdaptationDyeJob: Described as having bronze, or auburn, hair in the books, while he has brown hair in the movies.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Being ripped apart by lizard mutations probably wasn't the best way to go.]]

* ShellShockedVeteran: Averted. Finnick is one of the only victors we meet who seems to be a relatively well-adjusted individual. If you're willing to forget the fact he is a ruthless killer, he's actually not too bad a guy at his core. It's justified in that he is a Career, and therefore was not nearly as unprepared for the horror of his Games as other victors from say, the lower districts were. [[spoiler:He even seems to handle [[SexSlave what happened after his Games]] relatively well.]]
** ZigZagged. His original Games didn't seem to have an impact on him, but he sinks into a terrible depression after Annie is arrested by the Capitol, has trouble focusing on anything, and has a nervous breakdown over what might be happening to her after watching Katniss do the same. He seems relatively able to hold himself together, but it's a fragile thing and he does it mostly for other people's benefit. With Annie gone in ''Mockingjay'', he's relatively out of it, up until he realizes that he needs to help Katniss hold herself together.

* SpikyHair: Sports an anime-like hairstyle in ''Catching Fire''. In ''Mockingjay'', it's toned down a bit.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Her seconds-long cameo in the Catching Fire film (and later confirmed in Mockingjay) shows her with red hair, as opposed to the books' brown.

* WeakButSkilled: We never heard of her killing anyone, but she could ''swim'', so she outlasted everyone when the arena flooded.
** Though it is a safe bet she killed a few tributes before the death of her district partner, given that she was a Career tribute.

[[folder:Mags]]
Finnick's partner in the Third Quarter Quell and previously his mentor. She won the 11th Hunger Games, making her the second oldest known victor behind Lucy Gray Baird who won the 10th. She volunteers for the Quell after Annie is reaped to save her, despite being 80 years old and having likely had a stroke. [[spoiler:Part of the alliance to keep Katniss and Peeta alive during the quell.]]
----
* CoolOldLady: At eighty years old, she's at the very least one of the oldest living tributes.
* DeathSeeker: She doesn't care about living or dying, but she knows that she won't live past the second Games; she just does it to save Annie. And she then [[spoiler:commits suicide by the fog]] to save Finnick.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:She simply kisses Finnick good-bye and walks right into the poison fog.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: Took Annie's place in the Third Quarter Quell, knowing that the Games are a death sentence at the best of times. At her age, she doesn't stand a chance. [[spoiler:Then she makes one ''again'' when she walks into the poison fog, since Katniss is injured and Finnick isn't strong enough to carry her and Peeta.]]
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Finnick, Katniss, and Peeta, ''especially'' Finnick, all of whom respect her or talk to her with strong familiarity. Possibly to Annie.
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler:Walks into poison fog so that Finnick can focus on rescuing Peeta instead]].
* TheLoad: She is literally TheLoad in ''Catching Fire'', as she is an elderly stroke victim whom Finnick carries around in the arena. She eventually [[spoiler:gives up her own life by walking into a poisonous fog, so that Finnick will turn his efforts to protecting Katniss]].
* TheMentor: She is Finnick's mentor.
* MoralityPet: She's the first indication that Finnick is a decent guy by the way he cares about her. Despite being a Career, he, like Katniss, values her over the younger, stronger competitors.
* ParentalSubstitute: To Finnick. She is repeatedly described as being the only thing he has to family, and Finnick says she more or less raised him.
* RetiredBadass: A young victor of an early Games who has now had a stroke.
* TheUnintelligible: Her speech is nearly unintelligible and Katniss speculates that she may have had a stroke at some point.
[[/folder]]

Tributes District 5 who compete in the Third Quarter Quell. [[spoiler:The male is the first person killed in the bloodbath. The female survives, but is killed by the tidal wave the next day.]]

* DeathWail: The female screamed rather loud when the tidal wave hit.

* VomitDiscretionShot: The camera is too far away in the training center to show the male vomiting.

* AdaptedOut: Was not mentioned in ''The Hunger Games'' film.

A pair of drug addicts who compete in the Third Quarter Quell. [[spoiler:Part of the alliance to keep both Katniss and Peeta alive during the quell.]]

[[folder:Johanna Mason]]
A former arena tribute from District 7, the lumber district, who pretended to be weak and useless before ruthlessly cutting her way to victory. [[spoiler:It is later revealed that she is part of the alliance of victors whose job is to keep both Katniss and Peeta alive during the Quell.]]

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Appears more feminine in the film than what she's described in the books.

* DamselInDistress[=/=]BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:She's taken hostage by the Capitol at the end of ''Catching Fire'' and held in their captivity throughout a part of ''Mockingjay'']].

[[folder:Blight]]
The District 7 male for the Third Quarter Quell. [[spoiler:Part of the alliance to keep Katniss and Peeta alive during the quell.]]
----
* DemotedToExtra: While Blight never really was important to the story, his onscreen appearance in the film is only in the interviews, and later in a passing mention by Johanna.
* MeaningfulName: He's from the forestry district, and "Blight" is an illness that afflicts trees.
* MoralityPet: Makes [[AloofDarkHairedGirl Johanna]] show an unusual feeling of sadness and empathy.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Katniss never really gets to meet him. [[spoiler:He is later killed when he ran into the forcefield during the blood rain. Thus, he never had the chance to protect Katniss and Peeta.]]
[[/folder]]

The District 8 tributes for the Third Quarter Quell. [[spoiler:Part of the alliance to keep Katniss and Peeta alive during the Quell.]]

* DemotedToExtra: Katniss never talks to them in the training center, nor are they mentioned when Haymitch introduces the tributes to them or the bloodbath, only being seen at the interviews and the tribute parade in the film.

* AdaptedOut: The film series cut out the mockingjay pin's backstory.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: The leader of the Careers. And given Katniss destroys the arena just as they're attacking, doesn't offer much of a fight before all focus shifts to the war.

* PunchClockVillain: She's evil in the third Quarter Quell only and that is because she is on the opposite side of Katniss. Outside the Games, while she and Katniss don't really get along, they're not antagonistic to each other either.

%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* SaltAndPepper

* StarCrossedLovers: While Katniss and Peeta are actually an aversion, Finnick and Annie play this straight. They're not allowed to be together because he's far too attractive for Snow to be able to resist turning him into a sex slave and she is too mentally unstable to be considered a suitable partner for him in public. [[spoiler:Once they are both in District Thirteen they are able to get married but they only have a short time together before he leaves to fight in the Capitol which leads to his death.]]

* SadisticChoice: Before the rule change in the 74th Hunger Games allowing two tributes from the same district to win together, he could only hope to get either Katniss or Peeta out of the arena alive, not both of them. He chooses Katniss, because although he admits to liking Peeta more, Katniss's skills combined with Peeta's determination to protect Katniss makes him think she has the better shot at winning. Peeta doesn't begrudge him for it, understanding that he had to make a choice and noting that he would have wanted it to be her too.
