Peeta Mellark

Peeta Mellark is one of the main characters from The Hunger Games series.
==Charactah Account==
Drawn to go along to the arena with Katniss, Peeta is the baker's son and thus a member of the merchant class in District 12. He also happens to be completely head-over-heels for Katniss, which, it would seem, is his bad luck.
Peeta has a very likable personality and is very charismatic. Kind and gentle, he is also very clever and skilled at manipulating others with his words. Though not brash or arrogant, he can be quite bold, having announced that he was in love with Katniss to the whole nation and offering Thresh and Rue's families part of his and Katniss' winnings. He is a very talented public speaker, to the point that Coin would have preferred to rescue him over Katniss from the Quell. Similarly, he has a good sense of humor and doesn't take himself too seriously.
Possibly unique to Hunger Games Victors, Peeta is very reluctant to get into physical fights and very non-violent, to the point that Finnick would say he is the only Victor who won the Games 'by chance'. He states that he wants to be "more than just a piece in [the] Games", more than the killer the Capitol would want him, a Tribute, to be.

*Katniss and Peeta are the only victors to ever participate in the Games two years in a row.
*He is the only male volunteer from District Twelve.
*When hunting, Peeta is very loud compared to Katniss and Gale, who are seasoned hunters and skilled at moving quietly.
*He is the second tribute to volunteer in his district, the first being Katniss Everdeen.
*In the Hunger Games film, when the training scores are revealed, he and Katniss are the only tributes recognized by their first and last names--the other Tributes are only referred to by their first names. This is likely a writing error, however, as theirs are the only last names known to the readers.
*Peeta's favorite color is orange, like a sunset.
*Peeta in Greek (πίτα=peeta) means "pie".
**His name may also be related to pitta; a type of bread.

*In the book, Peeta has to have his leg amputated and a prosthetic made after a mutt mauls his calf. In the movie, after Katniss gives him the medicine for his blood poisoning, he doesn't sustain any further injuries to his leg.
*Peeta's favorite candy is peppermints, according to Catching Fire.
*As a promotion for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, Capitol TV released an article that explains that while he was captured by the Capitol, President Snow appointed Peeta as his Special Counsel.
*Since the Quarter Quell ended after Peeta killed Brutus, and since the Quell was the last ever Hunger Games in Panem, Peeta officially has the last ever kill in the Games.
