In loooooove with Johanna, arguably the bravest of them all, for her open rant against the Capitol and how they can't actually hurt Prim, because then they'd have uprisings, and "Don't want that, do they? Whole country in rebellion? Wouldn't want anything like that!"

Katniss is dumbfounded, and it's followed up by Johanna's bit about having no one left that she loves. And I think that's what makes Johanna so free. All the other main characters are restricted in what they can do because of what the Capitol might do to their loved ones in retaliation. But Johanna is free. They can't hurt her with the jabberjays or anything else because she is only responsible for herself. Maybe that's why she's my favorite of the Victors in terms of her actions in service of the rebellion.

And I like her dark humor. She jokes the second night that whoever is alive by breakfast can share the bread, and when Katniss laughs, it's like that's what earns her approval. The budding friendship and recognition of Katniss's harder edge.

It was the last night before sorrow touched her life; and no life is ever quite the same again when once that cold, sanctifying touch has been laid upon it.

I was still too much of a fledgling with people to understand that, in the long run, nobody is a picnic and that I was no picnic myself.
