[edit] Characters in "Green Rider"
- Karigan G'ladheon is the protagonist of Kirsten Britain's book series, Green Rider.She displays a strong sense of loyalty throughout all three books, first of all by risking her life to continue F'ryan's mission and honor his request. It is hinted that King Zachary and she are developing a relationship. Among the Green Riders, the King's messengers, Karigan is fairly well liked and has many friends, two of which flirt with her and remove her boots, as well as drawing her a bath, when she comes back from intense training with the Swordmaster.
- Lil Ambriodhe was the legendary First Rider, and it is revealed in First Rider's Call that she was carrying the king's child. However, she apparently had a miscarriage and lost too much blood to live. Lil shows determination and has a slightly comical, exasparated personality, even if she is but a ghost. Karigan is favored by Lil, and Lil even goes so far as to possess her to save her from an evil force, and nearly kill her in the process.
