Katniss has three family members: her father, her mother, and her sister Primrose Everdeen.

Mr. Everdeen was killed in a mining accident when Katniss was eleven years old. His death caused Mrs. Everdeen (Katniss' mother) to spiral into a deep depression.

Primrose (Prim) is four years younger than Katniss - making her 12 in The Hunger Games, and 13 in Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Prim is extremely important to Katniss, as well as a vital part of each of the books.
