I liked that she didn't conform to either of society's "female hero" stereotypes. Meaning, she wasn't some objectified girl solely for boys to rescue, but she also wasn't a kickass-all-the-time robot who was perfect and never had to admit to being wrong. Katniss was different. She has flaws. She has huge, massive, gaping wounds. And her flaws do define her. After what she went through, the emotional and physical stress, violence, and torture, she had every right to bread down. Wouldn't you? That's what makes her so relatable. That's why I enjoyed her as a kickass lead. Not because she was kickass 100% of the time without failure, but because she showed that you can be a human, a woman, a kickass person, and still fail. And you can recover.

(Even if, personally, I had hoped for a better recovery. I get why Collins went with the realistic approach, but I think it might have been a better message if there had been a bit more of a happy ending.)
