President Alma Coin was the President of District 13 and the leader of the rebellion against the Capitol by the people of the districts of Panem. While President Snow is still the antagonist of the series, she is the true antagonist of Mockingjay. Coin is devious, unmoving, and will do whatever it takes to attain her goals. She was first introduced when Katniss Everdeen met her in District 13.Coin was presumably raised in, and served as the leader of District 13 and the rebellion. Due to Katniss Everdeen's unique position as a symbol of rebellion to the districts, Coin had Katniss, along with Finnick Odair and Beetee rescued from the arena following the 75th Hunger Games, after Katniss destroyed the force field surrounding the arena. This action effectively prompted the Capitol to bomb District 12. However, she was not able to rescue Peeta Mellark, Johanna Mason, and Enobaria. With Katniss safe in District 13, Coin was forced to cooperate as she recovered from her physical and mental traumas, although she was rather impatient. Like the other rebels, Coin needed Katniss to don the label of Mockingjay, and help fuel the districts into rebellion. {Spoilers}But Katniss soon realizes how power-hungry Coin is, even more than President Snow. Coin makes it clear that she views Katniss as an inferior and a mere icon for the rebellion, and is miffed when Katniss makes demands, and is forced to go along with them in the face of the public. Even so, Coin viewed Katniss as an eventual threat, and meant to have her die and become a martyr, inspiring the rebellion with Katniss's supposed sacrifice . In the end, after the Rebellion is victorious, Coin attempts to secure the remaining Victors' loyalty with the proposal of a final Hunger Games, using the children of the Capitol higher-ups, and in her arrogance she believed herself to have secured Katniss' loyalty. However, Katniss had realized the supposed Capitol bombs that rained down on the Capitol refugees and Coin's own medic corps that killed many, including Katniss's sister, Prim, was ordered by Coin, and turns her arrow on the President of District 13, ending her threat before it truly begins. Coin's ruthless killing of children and her own medics was meant to frame Snow for the crime, and possibly secure Katniss's loyalty by tricking her into believing Snow killed her sister. But it turned out to be her greatest mistake.{Spoilers}
