She has shown she will protect those she loves, no matter the cost to herself, as shown when she volunteers for the Games to save her little sister Prim, when she shields Gale to keep him from being whipped, even when it means a lash for herself, and when she stoically decides during her second Games to die to save Peeta.
Hun har vist at hun vil beskytte dem, hun elsker, uanset omkostningerne for sig selv, som når hun frivilligt overtager sin lillesøsters plads for at redde hende, som da hun prøvede at redde Gale fra at blive pisket, og da hun beslutter i løbet af sit andet spil, at hun vil dø for at redde Peeta.
