Prim was also a good healer at an early age, often helping her mother with patients. Katniss once took her out to teach her how to hunt, but after successfully shooting a creature, Prim broke down and wanted to help the dying, poor animal. She saved a stray cat (whom Katniss tried to drown the second Prim brought him home) and named him Buttercup, insisting his 'scruffy yellow coat matched the bright flower'. It is quite obvious from the beginning that Prim loves all living creatures. She was born in late May, although the exact date is not said. Not much is known about Prim's early life, she is described as a compassionate young blonde girl. While covering an injured Capitol child with her coat, exploding parachutes sent by a hovercaft went off before Katniss could get to her. During the war she would work with her mother in the hospital and then go out to help the injured in the midst of battle, although this ultimately led to her death. Later, after Katniss escaped from the Quarter Quell, she turns out to become a very skilled doctor while living in District 13. Other than her animals, Prim also had household chores and helped to take care of patients that people brought to her mother. The sustenance provided by the goat helped Prim and her family to survive in the poor region of District 12. Prim loved animals, and was soon able to heal Lady with her mother's help. Having so much money, they first thought to get Prim a hairbrush or cloth for a dress, but decided instead on a goat that had been injured. Katniss rescued the goat and gave it to Prim on her 10th birthday after having shot and sold a young buck in the woods with Gale. Prim had a goat, named Lady, whose cheeses and milk she and her family ate.
