Primrose Everdeen

Primrose Everdeen, also known as Prim, is a character from The Hunger Games series.
== Charactah Account ==
Katniss' beloved younger sister, a kind, lovely all-loving heroine. When her name is drawn against all odds at the Reaping, Katniss volunteers to take her place in the arena.
Prim loves all living creatures, even the most unsightly ones. She has a pet goat, Lady, that Katniss gave her as well as a gruesome, ugly cat she named Buttercup. Starving and swarming with parasites, Prim brought the wretched creature home one day. Katniss intended to drown him, but Prim begged so hard for Katniss to let him live that she decided to allow the cat to stay. She, like her mother, has a passion and talent for healing. Prim stayed at her mother's side even during the most horrid cases, even though she was "scared of her own shadow." According to Johanna Mason, after Katniss Everdeen won the 74th Hunger Games along with Peeta Mellark, all of Panem adored her.
Prim's goat, Lady, was first adopted into her family when Katniss was browsing and trading in the Hob on Prim's birthday. An old goat herder had a sick nanny goat, mauled by a dog, the wound was swollen with infections, and after much haggling and bargaining, Katniss bought the goat and a pink ribbon for her neck. Upon presenting the weak, near-dead nanny to Prim, medical attention was given to her immediately. Eventually, Lady healed well. Though purchasing the goat on a whim, Katniss does not regret her decision, for Lady pays her stay well with goat's milk and cheese to eat and to sell. Lady died in the bombings of District 12, but Buttercup managed to survive, much to Katniss's disappointment.

== Trivia ==
* Primrose is named after the plant "Evening Primrose," which is a plant that grows yellow perennial flowers in the early spring. Where it grows wild it is often one of the very first flowers of spring, and is plucked before others even appear. Evening Primrose is a healing herb, and Prim is a healer.
* Katniss has said that Rue reminds her of Prim, that the two share alike traits such as their demeanor.
* She is one of the few known characters in The Hunger Games to own her own animal. Her animals are Buttercup, a cat, as well as Lady, a goat.
* Although Katniss and Prim love one another the two are very different, personality wise. Prim is very forgiving, unlike Katniss. Also, Katniss tried taking Prim hunting once but she was afraid of the woods and also would talk about how they could heal a shot animal.
* In the book, it is said by Katniss that neither Prim nor Rue could "tip the scale at seventy pounds soaking wet", suggesting that she weighed less than seventy.
* While in District 13, Prim hoped to become a doctor, as she was skilled in the medical field.
* In a deleted scene, it shows a dream sequence of Prim in the Hunger Games wandering around in a jacket.
* Primrose is the only named District 12 citizen who was a part of the rebellion that died.
* In the film, it is Prim rather than Delly Cartwright who attempts to talk to the hijacked Peeta in District Thirteen.
