Effie Trinket

Effie Trinket is a citizen of the Capitol and a Hunger Games dignitary attached to District 12. She resides over proceedings during the Reaping, drawing the names of the tributes, then becomes an escort for Katniss and Peeta during the lead-up to the 74th Hunger Games.

Like many citizens of the Capitol, Effie dresses colourfully and seems detached from the reality of the Games. Initially she views District 12 as a backwater and wants to use her tenure there as a springboard to a district with stronger tributes, but she eventually comes to support Katniss and Peeta. She despises Haymitch. Her catchphrase "may the odds be ever in your favor" is known across Panem.

Effie is played by Elizabeth Banks in the Hunger Games film.
