There were many "strange" things about their alliance in the arena.

First, the Career tributes were usually the only tributes to form alliances - that is, the tributes from districts 1-4. Tributes from outlying districts usually remained alone for simplicity and safety. The fact that two tributes from both of the poorest districts formed an alliance and friendship was extremely strange.

Another oddity was the difference in their age. Katniss and Rue could easily kill each other - Katniss with her bow and Rue with her knowledge of poisonous plants - despite their age difference. But Rue, as a 12-year-old girl, was a much different tribute than the 16-year-old Katniss.

Katniss and Rue did form a friendship and it was largely because of how much Rue reminded Katniss of her younger sister, Prim. Alliances in The Hunger Games were usually for utility: shared food, weapons, and resources. While this was true for Rue and Katniss, it was also largely because of their comradery.

The final strangest thing about their relationship was the end, when Rue was killed by Marvel's spear. Katniss saw it, shot Rue's killer, sang her a lullaby as she slipped away, and buried her in flowers, then broke down crying. Death in the Hunger Games was nearly unavoidable. Even Career alliances wouldn't mourn the loss of a member. Yet, Katniss deeply mourned Rue's death, which was unlike anything that had ever happened before.
