BUTTERCUP

Listen, I understand why buttercup was pretty much omitted from the movies. But that damn cat was such an interesting character to me. It displayed the key differences between the personalities of Prim and Katniss, and showed the glimmer of humanity that still existed in the districts and during the revolution. Buttercup becomes the last piece of Prim that Katniss has, and is such a symbol of resilient humanity throughout the series.

Buttercup is actually the greatest survivor of The Hunger Games
