The Hunger Games might be a young adult series, but it deals with some extremely heavy themes of war, violence, and oppression. However, while the main core of the story is about a rebellion against an evil government, there are also many important friendships and romantic relationships in the series. But, since there is so much going in regards to survival, there are many characters who could have been friends that never got the chance to be.
These are the characters that would have made good friends based on factors such as personality, morality, and their viewpoints on the world. And, while some of the characters have interacted, others never met at all in the canon.
10 President Snow and President Coin
While this might not seem like it makes a lot of sense at first given that these two characters were the leaders on opposite sides of the war, they were both horrible presidents in their own ways.
Circumstances made them enemies, but they were truthful were both rather ruthless and in love with power and control. If they had been raised in the same place, they might have actually gotten along somewhat or been like friendly rivals.
9 Plutarch Heavensbee and Haymitch Abernathy
This is another matchup that might seem a bit strange at first but that makes more sense when you think about it. Both of these men have somewhat gruff exteriors, and while they do want the rebellion to win the war, they aren’t always the most welcoming and kind people.
While they don’t have a friendship per se in the story, they do know each other. The only issue is that Haymitch is more attached to Katniss while Plutarch views her more as a tool.
8 Effie Trinket and Tigris
While Effie Trinket and Tigris likely would have known each other to some extent as they would have run in similar circles in The Capitol, fans never hear or see them interacting. However, they could have gotten along.
They were both rather extreme in their own ways when it came to a sense of style, although Tigris made Effie look tame in comparison. They also have a lot of privileges in the Capitol but do have some level of compassion for others.
7 Commander Paylor and Gale Hawthorne
Commander Paylor actually becomes President of Panem after President Coin is killed, and seeing as how Gale stays in District 2 and works at some high-up job, they might cross paths at times. They are both rather serious people and devoted to the jobs they do and the people they serve.
Fans don’t know all that much about Paylor as she’s only in a few scenes, but it’s not that hard to imagine these two working together and getting along at least on a professional level.
6 Gale Hawthorne and Peeta Mellark
This is another duo that many fans might disagree with, give that these two are set up as rivals in the story because they are both in love with Katniss. However, in a different story set up, they might have gotten along.
They both are from District 12 and knew the difficulties of life there, and while they do have very different personalities, they could have provided some balance to one another.
5 Cressida and Katniss
While Cressida doesn’t have a huge role in the books compared to some characters, what she does is rather important. She’s an intelligent and creative person who left the Capitol to use her skills to fight against Snow.
Because of this, she and Katniss could have had a lot of common ground. Katniss was never great at making friends, but Cressida also seems quite no-nonsense in a way that would have made her a good support for Katniss.
4 Madge Undersee and Katniss
This friendship is actually one that does exist in the books, but it isn’t included in the movies. Madge was the daughter of the Mayor of District 12, but despite this privileged position, she was the only girl who would sit with Katniss at school.
Madge was the closest thing Katniss had to a best friend, other than Gale, when she was growing up. And, in the books, it’s actually Madge who gives Katniss the Mockingjay pin. It’s a shame the friendship wasn’t shown on screen.
3 Annie Cresta and Peeta Mellark
While these two characters did know each other and exist in the same circles, we don’t really see them interact. However, while they might not seem like the obvious pick, their personalities make them seem like they’d get along well.
They are both rather caring and compassionate people who have been through some terrible things. They are more subdued than many others around them and would probably get along in peace.
2 Katniss and Johanna Mason
While Katniss and Johanna do work together on the same side in the Quarter Quell, they definitely don’t get along. However, it would have been great to see this relationship grow more from a rivalry into a more solidified friendship.
While both women have rather strong personalities that can be abrasive to the other, they also could find ways to respect the other if they just gave the other a chance.
1 Rue and Primrose Everdeen
This friendship would be one of the most endearing possibilities from the story, but because of the tragedy of what happens to both characters, they never got to meet.
They are both around the same age and are intelligent, capable individuals who are forced to grow up too early. They both have a compassion and beauty to them, and their lives are both cut way too short.
