District 12 specializes in
mining (mainly coal) and is the farthest from
the capitol. They are at a disadvantage in the Hunger Games because
they don't learn their district specialty until they are 18. Katniss, Peeta and other major characters come from District 12. It is located in the Appalachian Mountains, and the district itself is split into two distinct housing areas and
social classes. "The Seam" is a slum where those who work in the coal
mines live, whereas the mercantile class lives in the town, centered
around the "Square". Both classes are easy to distinguish physically and
generally socialize amongst themselves. Those from the Seam generally
have dark hair, grey eyes, and olive skin, and those from merchant
families typically have blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. Katniss
and Gale are from The Seam, whereas Peeta is a baker's son from town.
