![]() She increased her hunting and foraging skills, selling the illegal food at The Hob, the local Black Market where she made most of her living. The sight of the dandelion made her think of the hours spent in the woods with her father, and she started utilizing the skills her father had taught her to find food and trade. The following day at school, Katniss caught Peeta watching her and quickly dropped her gaze, which landed on the first dandelion of the year. When he went outside with the pretense of feeding the burnt loaves to the pigs, he tossed them to Katniss instead and hurried back inside. Seeing this, the Baker's son, Peeta Mellark, burned two loaves of bread, earning a beating from his mother. One night, when it was raining, she was yelled at by the Baker's wife for looking in their trash can, even though it was empty. She took on this role to avoid allowing her mother to be deemed an unfit mother, which would send herself and Prim to the community home.Ī few weeks before May 8 th, when Katniss would be able to sign up for tesserae, her family was already starving and she had succumbed to picking from trash cans. When her mother did not get a job, Katniss was thrust into the role of provider and nurturer. The district gave a small amount of money to Katniss's family, allowing for a month grieving period before her mother was expected to get a job. Even years after her father's death, Katniss didn't forgive her for sinking into depression and leaving her and Prim alone to fend for themselves so young. She resents her mother for succumbing to the depression caused by her husband's death, which left her unable to care for Katniss and her sister, Primrose Everdeen. She still woke up screaming for him to run and wondering if he would ever come back to her. Katniss says that she still has nightmares about the explosion and the day her father died five years after. When she was 11 years old, her father died in an explosion underground in the mines where he worked, leaving her to take care of her mother and sister. #PRIM AND KATNISS HOW TO#Katniss's father also taught her how to swim in a pond in the woods. There, he taught her about hunting, nature, and how to use a bow and arrow. Katniss was close to her father and spent time hunting with him in the woods. She has straight, black hair, usually in a braid down her back, olive skin, and gray eyes. Katniss Everdeen was born on May 8th in District 12 of the nation Panem. ![]()
