what is peter's last name in the hunger games
List of The Hunger Games characters Peeta Mellark is the male tribute from District 12 in both the 74th and 75th Hunger Games. He is the same age as Katniss, with fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes, characteristic of the town residents of District 12, whose middle-class merchants are slightly more well-to-do than those of the Seam. Peeta is the baker's son and lives with two brothers, a quiet father, and a strict disciplinarian mother. Peeta's favorite color is orange, like the sunset. His skills include personal charm and charisma, physical strength, baking, and painting. Peeta has been in love with Katniss ever since he first saw her during elementary school, and declares his love for her during the pre-Games interview. Katniss believes this is a ploy to gain the support of sponsors to help them survive the Games. Lacking Katniss' skills with weapons like the bow and arrow, he relies on his charm and physical strength, and teamwork with Katniss, to survive in the Games.
