Cammie (Cameron) Morgan

Cammie is the book's central character, its narrator, and protagonist. Her situation, attitudes towards that situation, and action taken as a result of both attitudes and situation define and motivate the book's action as well as manifest its central themes. She is intelligent but not beyond letting her feelings occasionally overwhelm both her intelligence and her good judgment, although there are indications throughout the narrative that she is becoming adept at finding a better balance between the two. She is also loyal to her friends and family, particularly those who have earned her loyalty. She is also, in some ways, naïve about the darker sides of human belief and behavior. She does seem to have a certain awareness of how bad people can be, but there is also the sense that the events in this book are the first time they have come so close...
