What are some of Katniss' personality traits in The Hunger Games?

Katniss has strong personality
traits.  


1. Responsible:She
takes care of her family and friends.This is shown when she finds food for her village,
she protects her family since her father died, and when she takes Prim's place in the
Hunger Games. 


2. Loyal: to
the people around her that she can trust: Gale, Peeta, her mother,Haymitch (even though
he is drunk a lot), Cinna, and
others.   


3. Leader and very
intelligent:
taking control of situations that need to be resolved
and figuring out many complex situations in the games such as that the games rotate and
how to beat each challenge she is
given.


4.Athletic: and can
run, jump, and shoot a bow and arrow with the best of the
contestants. 


 5.Moral: She
knows right from wrong and recognizes that what she is doing is wrong,but it is being
forced upon her and the society by the government.


 6.
Survivor:  Many times she overcomes wounds and exhaustion
to continue fighting.


7.
Compassionate: mourning Rue's death and yet remembering her
song ---that song will continue through the third
book.


8. Independent: no one
can tell her what to think or how to behave. From the very beginning of the book, she is
breaking the law by going out and hunting food.


9.
Unpredictable: At no time does anyone really know what she
is going to do.


10. Angry: She
is angry about the games; about the fact that young people have to die; about the fact
that the goverment puts them in this situation; and about the fact that people allow
this to happen.


Choose three of these characteristics, find
three examples of each in the book (which should be easy) and you should have a very
good characterization paper, if that is where you are headed.
