| “ | I don't know how to say it exactly. Only... I want to die as myself. I don't want them to change me in there. Turn me into some kind of monster that I'm not. I keep wishing I could think of a way to... to show the Capitol that they don't own me. That I'm more than just a piece in their Games. | „ |
| ~ Peeta to Katniss. |
Peeta Mellark is the deuteragonist of The Hunger Games franchise. He is the son of a baker in District 12 and has been love with Katniss Everdeen for years. He is the male tribute of District 12 in the Hunger Games for two consecutive years.
He is portrayed by Josh Hutcherson, who also played Shane Fahey in Firehouse Dog, Jess Aarons in Bridge to Terabithia, Walter Budwing in Zathura: A Space Adventure, Sean Anderson in The Journey series and Mike Schmidt in Five Nights at Freddy's film adaptation, and voiced Markl in Howl's Moving Castle and Nod in Epic.
Personality[]
Peeta possesses a very likable and charismatic personality. He cares very deeply about the people around him, constantly going out of his way to ensure the safety of the people he loves and risking his life to protect them. Katniss has described him as sweet and gentle multiple times. His charisma also makes him a very talented public speaker who knows very well how to charm other people and increase the standing of both himself and Katniss, something that would end up saving them thanks to the Sponsors they received during their first Hunger Games.
Biography[]
Peeta first met Katniss Everdeen at school and fell in love with her when he heard her singing. From then on, he often would watch her from afar. One day, he saw Katniss starving and decided to help by giving her burnt bread.
During the reaping for the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss volunters to go in the place of her younger sister (Primrose Everdeen) and Peeta is reaped to be her fellow partner in District 12. During the interview before the games, Peeta confesses his love for Katniss, which helps her seem wanted and get sponsors during the games.
During the games, Peeta temporarily allies with the career tributes to protect Katniss, as the careers are targeting her. After he is injured fighting Cato to give Katniss time to run away from the careers, he stays nearby a river and camouflages himself as a rock while trying to recover from a leg wound.
Katniss eventually finds Peeta by the river and takes care of his wounds. She then plays up the angle of the star-struck lovers to survive, but Peeta was unaware that she was just acting and thought her feelings were genuine. They both end up surviving the games because Katniss proposes an attempt of double suicide by almost eating poisonous berries. Their excuse to Panem and the Capitol as to why this attempt was not an act of defiance is that they were so in love that they couldn't live without the other. However, after the games, Peeta discovers Katniss' act and becomes heartbroken.
In the following year, during the Third Quarter Quell (75th Hunger Games), the female and male tributes are reaped among the victors of each district. Since District 12 only has 3 living victors (Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch), Katniss will surely return as the female tribute. Because of this, when Haymitch is reaped, Peeta volunters to go in his place with the intent to protect Katniss.
In the Quarter Quell, Peeta and Katniss ally with Finnick Odair and Mags Flanagan (both from District 4), Johanna Mason (from District 7), Beetee Latier and Wiress (both from District 3). During the games, Katniss falls in love with Peeta for real. However, after Katniss destroyed the arena's force field, Peeta is taken away by the Capitol's hovercraft, along with Johanna and Enobaria (from District 2).
Power and Abilities[]
Though Peeta is not adept at fighting, he still possesses above-average strength, being able to lift hundred-pound bags of flour over his head with ease, something that gives him an edge in close-combat. Because of the time spent working at his parent's bakery decorating cakes, Peeta is adept at art and camouflaging himself, something that allowed him to hide when he was grievously injured in his first Hunger Games. In The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide, his weapons are shown to be Camouflage, Strength, and Spear, indicating he's quite good with spears too.
