Born into the wealthy Snow family, by the time of his upbringing the Snow name had begun to fade into insignificance. At a young age, he would lose both of his parents during the Dark Days. Coriolanus Snow is a native of the Capitol. His parents and grandparents were well-known, but his family had fallen on hard times and his only real currency in his youth was charm. By the time Snow was 18, his family status had fallen into decline. Despite living in one of the wealthiest penthouses in the Capitol, he and his family struggled to keep food on the table and often bought most of their clothes from the black market due to lack of money. The family's troubles began when Snow and Tigris were still very young, as his mother died in childbirth when he was five during the Rebellion, resulting in the loss of Snow's little sister that she was carrying as well. All he kept from her was a silver compact. His father, a military general named Crassus Snow, died not long after, being killed by fire from a rebel sniper. Despite this, he maintained an outward facade that he and his family were still doing well, though those who knew what to look for could see through it.

As a youth, Snow had been raised on the belief that his family name meant prestige and power. His experience, however, was tempered by the fact that he was an orphan and that the loss of his family's fortune due to being invested in District 13 munitions meant that he had spent much of his early life in poverty, though he concealed this from his classmates. He had a strong bond with his cousin Tigris and was a studious student, one of 24 top-performing students at the Academy.

He had a bad habit of fixating on one thing, thinking that if he could just solve one problem, it would solve his others. This "tendency towards obsession" was hardwired in his brain, an issue that he felt could be his downfall if he couldn't learn to control it. Many rooms of the home he lived in were empty and closed off due to his family selling off their possessions. Others still had extensive damage from the Dark Days which they could not afford to repair. Furthermore, he was forced to watch in sadness as many of the picture books he once enjoyed reading with his mother were sacrificed to flames to keep the family warm during the winter. His obsession with perfection arises out of his paranoia due to his fear of losing power. As a result, he is not above secretly murdering or eliminating those who get in his path in some way, and later on in life, his trick will be poison.

He was one of the few classmates of Sejanus Plinth who did not try to make Sejanus Plinth's life a living hell when he arrived in the Capitol from District 2. Some took this to mean that such behaviour was beneath him while Sejanus took it as decency, though the truth was more complicated than either, and Coriolanus called it tolerance.

As a student, he considers group projects a waste of time, feeling them to be only an opportunity to have his own ideas diluted in the name of collaboration, cut entirely, or watered down until they have lost their bite.

Noticeably, Snow was an extremely calm and reserved man, never visibly losing his temper at any point (at least, not in public, as this would risk damaging his public image). He remained completely in control, both figuratively and literally, throughout a conversation and maintained his serenity even if his life were in danger or if he were facing a known enemy. Coriolanus has very good manners with everyone he meets.
