Katniss Everdeen Character Traits

She did not hesitate to protect her sister Prim even if it risked her own life. When Prim got chosen for the reaping, Katniss volunteered to take her place as a Hunger Games tribute. Her loyalty is shown on chapter 2 as she desperately shouts,”I volunteer as tribute!” In order
