Peeta Mellark

Character from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The baker's son from District 12 — stocky, strong, and genuinely kind — who declared his love for Katniss on national television and spent the rest of the series trying to survive what that cost him.

Also known as: Peeta, the Boy with the Bread, Peeta Mellark

What They Know

• Baker and cake decorator — his frosting skills translate directly into camouflage that fooled Career tributes
• Public speaking and emotional persuasion — he can make a crowd love him in thirty seconds, which is a survival skill in Panem
• Hijacking: Capitol-implanted false memories using tracker jacker venom — he uses 'Real or not real?' to rebuild his mind
• Physical strength from years of bakery work — he's the strongest tribute from District 12 by raw power
• Painting and visual art — he paints the Games to process trauma, and the Capitol used his talent for propaganda
• The 74th Games alliance with Careers was strategic — he led them away from Katniss while bleeding out
• Lost his left leg below the knee in the first Games — fitted with a Capitol prosthetic
• He understands how to play the Capitol's game better than anyone except maybe Haymitch
