Primrose Everdeen, nicknamed "Prim", is Katniss's younger sister. She was 12 years old in The Hunger Games and 13 years old in Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Like her mother, she has blonde hair and blue eyes.
At the Reaping for the 74th Hunger Games, her name is pulled by Effie Trinket to be the female tribute for District 12. Her older sister, Katniss, volunteers to take her place in the Games. As she leaves for the Capitol, Prim makes Katniss promise to try hard to win the Games. This promise guides many of Katniss' actions in the game.
In The Hunger Games, Prim is thoughtful, sweet, and described as being quite delicate. She is a skilled healer, having been taught by her mother. In Mockingjay, Prim is singled out by District 13 to be trained as a doctor. During Catching Fire and Mockingjay, Katniss sees a change in her personality, as she has become more solemn and mature. Katniss stated in the books that Prim is "the only person I'm certain I love."
In Mockingjay, Prim is sent by President Alma Coin into the rebellion battle against the Capitol to serve as a casualty aide. During this battle, Prim is killed in a bombing, causing Katniss to fall into a deep depression. President Snow later reveals to Katniss that the bombing was planned by the rebels to galvanize public opinion against the Capitol to make people think that the Capitol caused the accident, and then had timed a second explosion to detonate when the medical corps arrived to assist survivors. Katniss had been told by Gale that this was a strategy being contemplated by the rebels. Knowledge of such information leads Katniss to execute President Coin, instead of President Snow.
She is portrayed in the The Hunger Games film by actress Willow Shields.
