Camela Rider

CAMELA LYNETTE RIDER: Appears in books 2 and beyond. Camela is Julian’s 6th-grade sister. She attends a boarding school in England following in the family tradition of Rider children learning their knightly ways where Camelot once stood. The training has taught her expert battle prowess and flawless technique which she uses to constantly one-up and compete with her brother. She is small for her age, but she makes up for her lack of size with an flamboyantly egocentric personality mixed with a conception that there is a clear divide between the higher class and the common folk. Despite putting off an air that she despises dragons like her father, she secretly bonded with an ice dragon with the use of the her elemental Talisman. Her Master Dragon, Krysta acts as her bonded sister, her best friend, and bodyguard for when Camela's snobbish attitude gets her into trouble.

Talisman:  Wielder of the ice Talisman, The Frostshard, which can create temporary, debilitating snowstorms capable of freezing enemies in moments. The size and time limit of these miniature blizzards is not currently known, but it does appear to drain her mana leaving her fatigued.

Weapon: An unnamed single-hand sickle with a blade sharp enough to cut through metal.

Trivia: Camela is named for the utopian kingdom of Camelot. Her middle name, Lynette, is a direct reference to the haughty, noble lady Lynette from Arthurian legend. Much like her inspiration, Camela sometimes acts in a superior way to others she deems less worthy. But with Krysta's help, she is trying to change for the better.

Camela's weapon, a combination of forged metal in the shape of a kunoichi's kama, contains The Frostshard securely fastened into it's handle. This is not only the first example of a weapon housing a Talisman, but also the first of the six elemental Talismans to be named in the series (technically, the wind Talisman was the first to be shown).
