Katniss's mother
Katniss's mother owns an apothecary in district 12. She fell into depression after her husband died. After Katniss's mother did this, she wouldn't move, and Katniss was forced to hunt for her family. Katniss was on the verge of dying and trying to sell her sister, Prim's, clothes when she nears the bakery. Peeta "accidentally" burns bread and instead of giving it to the pigs, he gives it to Katniss. Even though he would get a whipping for it. This encourages Katniss to hunt so she gets the bow and arrow her mom and dad made and started to hunt. After her mother stopped feeding the family, Katniss never felt close to her again.
Haymitch Abernathy
Haymitch is Katniss and Peeta's advisor. Haymitch was a winner of the Quarter Quell hunger games. He won by using intellect and the arena wall. Sadly, his ally was not so lucky and died. Because he basically made fun of the game makers by using the arena wall, the capitol killed his family. Thus he started drinking. Haymitch is a very heavy drinker, but can be helpful when needed. Haymitch was drunk one night on the train and when Katniss asked on advice, he said "Don't die." . At the time it was not funny but later became an inside joke to the three.
