Plutarch Heavensbee
An employee of the Capitol, Effie Trinket is Katniss Everdeen’s personal escort during both the Hunger Games and the subsequent Victory Tour. She’s punctual and precise, and plans Katniss’s complicated visits throughout Panem. It’s left unclear how we should think of Effie—on one hand, she’s always been loyal to Katniss, but on the other, she seems shockingly indifferent to the murder and violence that take place at the Hunger Games every year.

Explanation and Analysis:
As Katniss prepares to compete in her second round of the Hunger Games, she reunites with her publicist, Effie Trinket. Effie is strangely oblivious to Katniss's "cult status" as a mascot for the revolution against the government—as far as she's concerned (or so Katniss believes), Katniss is just an especially popular victor. Effie's cluelessness is reflected in her adoption of the mockingjay pin: Effie wears this pin on her body, unaware that for some people, the pin is a symbol of rebellion against the very government she serves.More broadly speaking, Effie's adoption of the mockingjay pin points to the basic Dolorem et quae.
