TIME has named Katniss Everdeen among their list of the 11 most influential fictional characters of 2013.
From TIME:
Beyond leading Catching Fire to a gross of $600 million—and counting—the Hunger Games heroine (played by Jennifer Lawrence) is also inspiring several real-world product lines. Among them: the Nerf Rebelle line of guns, quivers and crossbows for girls, Lucas Hugh “Capitol Label” workout clothes, and a makeup line from CoverGirl.
We also think her demolishing gender biases and being a self-sacrificing, heroic every-woman revolutionary might have a wee bit to do with her overall influence. Go Katniss!
