Basically, the main reason I like Katniss is because she is a refreshingly realistic, flawed character. She is also rare in another way - Katniss is a well thought-out, well-written female character, rather than just being there to be a 爱情 intrest for a male hero (this might have somethig to do with the fact that Suzanne Collins herself is female).
The Hunger Games
In the first book, Katniss is motivated 由 a need to get out of the Hunger Games alive. She manipulates Peeta, kills people, and runs on base instincts. What a 更多 typical (read: Mary-Sueish) character would have done would probably be very different from this - they would refuse to kill anyone, warn the girl who lit he 火, 消防 under the 树 to put it out instead of letting the Careers kill her, brood constantly ov er the morality of their acts - and be completely unrealistic. I mean, if you were to be thrown into a kill-or-be-killed competition, survival and killing everyone else would almost certainly become priorities, because 你 could never go 首页 if there was anyone else left alive.
Catching Fire
Then, in the 秒 book, Katniss, unlike your typical hero would be, is NOT motivated 由 rebelling, at least not at the beginning. She is motivated 由 keeping herself and her 老友记 alive, and who wouldn't be? After that, she is convinced to rebel, but it works because it fits with her personality. Finnally, in the Quater Quell, Katnss finnally makes a 更多 typical protagoist 移动 - she decides to keep Peeta alive even if it means her dieing. However, here's the catch - it also means all the OTHER tributes dieing. One thing I think is very realistic in Katniss's personality is how personal things are a hundred times 更多 important then everything else. As in, if she had to chose between her family and a thousand people she doesn't know dieing, she'd chose the thousand people without batting an eyelash. Well, okay, I'm exagerating, but 你 get what I mean.
Mockingjay
由 Mockingjay, Katniss's sanity begins to slip away. Even though some 粉丝 aren't happy about it, this is quite realistic and I enjoyed watchig (well, 阅读 about) this happen - it started subtly in Catching 火, 消防 and 由 the end of Mockingjay 你 can really see how the war has changed her.. Annie Cresta became insane after just one Hunger Games. Katniss has been through a lot more. Despite this, however, Suzanne Collins manages, unlike many other authors where character development is 更多 like character derailment, not to sacrife Katniss's core personality, keeping her recognisable as the character we were cheering for at the very beginning, rather than alienating her from us. Katniss's fireiness that I 爱情 is still there, and is what makes up her mind to assassinate Coin.
In the epilogue, it looks like she might actually be finding a way to cope with her life despite everything that has happened to her. Another thing I 爱情 about her is the way she Will. Not. Give. Up. Suzanne kept that as well. I chose the picture with Katniss and the quote for this part of the 文章 because I think the quote - "I kill Snow" - really sums up Katniss's drive in this book. Yes, I know she shot Coin instead of Snow in the end, but this way both Coin AND Snow died and she knew it. She would never again have had a chance to assaissinate Coin so easily, and 由 that time she had figured out that Coin and Snow were not so different after all and she didn't want to put Panem out of the hads of one evil president and into those of another. Mockingjay is one of my favourite 图书 由 far, though I know the majority of the 粉丝 hated it, and one of the reasons for this is how Katniss develops during it.
Thumbs up, Girl on Fire.

I bust the windows out your shop
'cause 你 never gave me my chops
i asked for them a week 以前
but 你 never delivered them, no
I bust the windows out your shop
when i figured you'd never deliver
Those mutton chops in that mutton pie
so because of 你 im blind in the eye
I must admit 你 didn't do it
but i aint forgiving you, not a bit
'cause i went to the games
and i got punched in the face
你 see, i was quite hungry
and 你 didnt give me
That pie when i told 你 i needed it
But now 你 can see what 你 have done
My eye has gone, forever it has gone
ow,ow,ow,ow

Katniss is a fierce dame.
She’ll lift up her bow and quickly take aim.
Peeta likes to bake bread, in his dad’s oven
He’s a baker man.
They’re tributes in The Hunger Games.
Now all of Panem knows their names.
And they don’t even know what,
but they’ve gotta survive, yeah they’ve gotta survive.
All the tributes in The Hunger Games
你 better run, better hide, gotta be quicker.
All the tributes in The Hunger Games
Fighting for their lives, trying to be the victor.
All the tributes in The Hunger Games
