During their time in the Hunger Games, Peeta and Katniss became close and they threatened to commit suicide rather than harm each other when they were the last two survivors. Peeta and Katniss were declared co-winners of the Hunger Games, but they were forced to keep up the pretense of their relationship.

But in the movie she is played by Jennifer Lawrence, who is a lot healthier looking than could be expected of someone who is meant to be close to starvation. She lost her father in a mining accident when she was younger, and because her mother suffers from depression, Katniss has stepped in as a mother figure for her younger sister Primrose.
