K is for Katniss.
I love Katniss. And I loved Jennifer Lawrence's portrayal of Katniss. Suzanne Collins was a screen writer before she wrote The Hunger Games series. She helped write the screen play for her movie. I'm sure that helped her characters stay true to themselves during their screen adaptations.
I love Katniss for her strength. Simple as that. Collins illustrates her strength with the inciting incident - when Prim's name gets pulled for the Hunger Games and Katniss volunteers herself. She's still scared out of her mind, as she should be, and she does it anyway. I also love that she is self-professed "unlikable." I love that she doubts Haymitch's and Peeta's intentions all throughout the first book.
Katniss is well-rounded, dynamic (gets even stronger throughout the book), and she falls for the boy we might not expect her to fall for. She's humble, brave, intelligent, self-reliant.... If Four is my favorite love interest, Katniss is probably my favorite heroine.

She makes me want to wear my hair in a side braid - which I won't do, because I would look ridiculous....really, really ridiculous. Sadly, I lack the cool factor that Katniss and Jennifer Lawrence clearly have. *Shakes fist* Damn it all!
