Holiday Reading - Character Portit

Originally, she had no intention of going into the games, hoping it would not be herself before the female tribute was chosen. It had not even crossed her mind, but, when her sister was picked, she volunteered to save her, in hopes that she could actually win. The male tribute was from the town bakery, Peeta Mellark, who had once saved Katniss and her family from starvation by charring some bread and giving it to Katniss
