Rue died soon after Katniss' successful attempt to destroy the Careers' stash of supplies, while she was creating her diversion.
After lighting the first two fires, she stumbled upon a net on her way to start the third and final fire. After following the sound of the mockingjays, Katniss found Rue trapped in a net. But the moment she heard her name escape Rue's lips, Marvel speared Rue in the abdomen, earning him an arrow through the neck through the heart in the film , as Katniss tried in vain to save her.
Katniss rushed over to Rue and cut her out of the net and put Rue's head on her lap. Katniss held Rue's hand as a lifeline as if it were she who were dying and Rue holding her. Rue asked if she blew up the food and Katniss confirmed that she destroyed everything. Rue pleaded for Katniss to win and Katniss promised she'd win for the both of them. When Marvel's cannon fired, Rue told Katniss to stay with her and Katniss lingered right by her side.
As a last wish, Rue asked Katniss to sing to her, and Katniss sang a lullaby that she used to sing to Prim, until Rue's eyes fluttered shut and she died. The mockingjays soon picked up Katniss's song and sang it through the entire arena. To show the Capitol that Rue was more than a piece in the Games, Katniss covered her corpse in brightly colored flowers she found nearby to cover up her wounds and her body.
As a final goodbye, Katniss gave her the same farewell salute that the entire District 12 gave Katniss when she left for the Games, placing the three middle fingers of the left hand to her lips, then lifting her arm out toward Rue.
The gesture was often used by the residents of District 12 at funerals, signifying respect and admiration.
District 11 then sends Katniss a loaf of bread as a gift of appreciation. This would end up leaving a lot of people in District 11 going hungry that night and it was unheard of to send a gift to a tribute that was not from your own district but they felt they owed Katniss something.
It was later speculated that the loaf of bread was in fact meant for Rue but as she died they thought they would give it to Katniss as a sign of respect and appreciation. In the film, Katniss pulled Rue out of the net and hugged her, and Marvel threw the spear at Katniss but hit Rue instead; Marvel was shot in the chest by Katniss, who turned to Rue as she pulled the spear out of her body and fell to the ground.
Katniss then began to sing to her and she died, and decorated her body with flowers after her death. She then saluted District 11, where a riot ensued. Rue placed 7th out of the 24 tributes. Concept art for Peeta's portrait of Rue in Catching Fire [1]. At the end of The Hunger Games , it was mentioned by Katniss that when the Capitol showed Katniss and Peeta the video of the 74th Hunger Games , they did not show the part where Katniss puts the flowers on her body as the flimmakers thought that smacks of rebellion.
In Catching Fire , when Katniss and Peeta are on their victory tour, she thanks Rue for everything she has done for her. Katniss says that she feels Rue is still with her and that everything beautiful brings Rue to mind. Katniss then thanks District 11 for their tributes, Rue and Thresh. Katniss tells Thresh's family that she admired him for being solitary, and even when the Career tributes wanted him, he turned them down. This made them smile. Later, when asked by the Gamemakers to show his skill for the 75th Hunger Games, Peeta painted Rue covered with flowers on the floor, earning a 12 from the Gamemakers.
Also adding on to the rebellion that Katniss was trying to keep him out of. And later, Katniss describes to Peeta her only "good" dream since the Games, explaining how she followed Rue as a mockingjay, singing and "talking.
In the arena, Katniss remembers Rue's vast knowledge about plants and realizes that a distinct disadvantage to being a District 12 tribute is that they don't get to learn their district's main purpose and skills until they are 18, while the other tributes from other districts learn it at a young age.
While watching Haymitch's Hunger Games video tape, and after watching Maysilee Donner's death on the tape, she remembers how Katniss as well was "too late to save Rue. Further in the book Katniss thinks a lot about Rue also when she saw Prim being interviewed standing, like ready to take a flight and she is also mentioned.
In Mockingjay , Katniss compiled a memory book about all the people who died because of the Hunger Games, including Rue. Being the youngest of the tributes at the age of 12, Rue was naturally the smallest - but this still gave her a massive advantage for being light on her feet and agile.
Suzanne Collins has stated that Rue is African-American, [2] with. This is how Prim, Katniss' sister, also stood, which brings back memories of Rue whenever Katniss sees her own sister. This stance made her look like a bird, ready to take flight. Her swift and almost invisible movements through the treetops added to the bird-like description.
Rue says that what she enjoys most in life is music, something which greatly confuses Katniss when she considers the hardship Rue has endured on the fields in District She is described as 4' 8. Rue was the eldest of six children. She had five younger siblings, all living in poverty in District She usually gave her food rations to her younger siblings, and foraged in the fields to provide more food for them.
District 11 has very strict laws and Rue could be punished for helping her family in this way. Her parents were also seen weeping. A man in the back whistles her four note tune, and started a small uprising. The man was shot shortly after. After Katniss sees the man get shot, she hears two more shots, which could possibly mean someone in the family was killed or wounded.
Rue and Katniss had a loving relationship. Katniss formed an alliance with her and took care of her as well. She was deeply cared for by Katniss. Rue told her everything about her, like her favorite thing in the world is music. Katniss felt empathy and pity for her. Katniss demonstrated her love for Rue by crying and mourning her death and covering her body in flowers at the time of her death to show that she was 'more than just a piece in their games'. Katniss trusts Rue because of her similarities to Prim and her gentle demeanor.
Katniss also felt pity and empathy for Rue, being forced into the arena at such a young age.

One of the reasons Rue said she trusted Katniss, was because of her mockingjay pin. Rue and her bonded the night Katniss awakened from her tracker jacker injuries.
Rue received a groosling leg from Katniss, after she refused the first few times. Katniss and Rue tell each other about their life and district. Rue told her about the Career's camp and this helps her with her plan. Rue trusted Katniss when she saw that Katniss had on a mockingjay pin. She then proceeded to help her with a plan to destroy the career alliance. But soon after the second fire was lit, Rue stumbled into a trap set up by Marvel, who stabbed her through the abdomen with his spear while Katniss ran to save her.
After dispatching Marvel, Rue begged Katniss win and to sing to her as she died. As an act of defiance and a way to honor Rue's death, Katniss covers Rue's corpse with brightly colored flowers and gives her District 12's farewell gesture, of the three middle fingers pressed to the lips and held up.
Thresh liked Rue and took pity on her since she was so young and nice and felt she did not deserve to be forced into the games. They seemed to have a fairly close friendship, as Thresh was infuriated and saddened by her death.
During training in the film when Rue stole Cato's knife which caused him to attack another tribute , Thresh looked up and smiled at Rue knowing it was her.
During the feast, Thresh overheard Clove taunting Katniss about Rue and taking credit for her death, and was enraged by this, Thresh pushed Clove off Katniss and held her above the ground by her throat, yelling accusations at her. Terrified, Clove insisted she didn't kill Rue this is true, as it was Marvel who killed her , but Thresh didn't believe her, and crushed her skull with a large rock although in the film he bangs Clove against the Cornucopia until her neck breaks , avenging Rue's death.
Rue had been of great assistance to Katniss and a great friend to her, as she reminded Katniss of her sister, Prim. When Rue died, Katniss covered her fatal wound with flowers she picked, and gave the people of District 11 the farewell gesture that they used back in District Rue's sister's expression made it clear to Katniss that if her sister and her district partner, Thresh , weren't thanked, they would not be forgiven. Because of this, Katniss gave a long and heartbreaking speech to the people of District 11, saying that although she didn't know Thresh well, he had saved her from Clove and spared her life.
Next, she described how much Rue meant to her, stating that she wouldn't be forgotten. That speech is what inspired District 11 to start an uprising. Before the 75th Hunger Games , Seeder , a previous victor from District 11, told Katniss that the families of Rue and Thresh were alive.
