  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nWhile we wait for news on the Fourth Wing cast (aside from Michael B. Jordan promising there won't be any \"cheesy\" choices), I'm sure some of us need a refresher on all the characters...unless you're someone who's read the books multiple times recently which is incredibly admirable.\n\n* * *\n\n## Okay let's break down all of the main characters in _Fourth Wing_.\n\n### Violet Sorrengail\n\n\n\n\nViolet's the main character of _Fourth Wing_ , and even though she wants to be a Scribe, because of her mom (General Sorrengail), she ends up becoming a Rider. That's crazy enough to change anyone's life, but things get even crazier when she bonds to two dragons instead of one. Okay diva!\n\n### Xaden Riorson\n\n\n\n\nXaden is a marked one (meaning his parents were in the first rebellion), and he's one of the wing leaders. He can wield shadows. He starts out as one of Violet's biggest rivals and adversaries but it doesn't take too long for that to change...\n\nWe don't have a cast announcement for you yet, but Josh Heuston is a very popular fan choice, and he told Brit + Co that \"we'll leave it up to the scribes, I suppose. Or the writers, however you wanna say that.\"\n\n### Rhiannon Matthias\n\n\nIn my opinion, _Fourth Wing_ wouldn't be a book worth reading without a really strong female friendship, and thankfully this book has Rhiannon! She's another first-year Rider with Violet and they quickly become friends.\n\n### Dain Aetos\n\n\n\n\nDain is one of Violet's childhood BFF's (although it looks like there could be something more...) and he's a second-year rider and squad leader. His bond to his dragon allows him to read someone's memories when he touches them.\n\n### ​Liam Mairi\n\n\n\n\nLiam grew up with Xaden and is another student whose parents were involved in the first rebellion.\n\n### ​Sawyer Henrick\n\n\n\n\nSawyer is repeating his first year and in a move that's very reminiscent of _One Tree Hill_ and _Off-Campus_ (just maybe without the romance)__, he and Rhiannon get Violet to tutor them in exchange for coaching her fighting.\n\n### ​Ridoc Gamlyn\n\n\n\n\nThe other member of Violet's friend group, Ridoc starts in the Fourth Wing with Sawyer, Rhiannon, and Violet.\n\n**Who's your favorite _Fourth Wing_ character?
