The Top Ten
Arya Dröttning

Arya! Queen and Rider! It doesn't get much more epic than that!

Good backstory. She is nice and has solid reasons for her actions.

Eragon Shadeslayer

Eragon is awesome! Murtagh is evil! He killed the king of the dwarves and a ton of other people when he could have just surrendered and let Eragon kill him to save many lives. He seems kind of selfish and cowardly.

Very powerful after the festival and defeated Galbatorix with a stab to the gut. He was just good, not to mention the help of the Eldunarí.

Murtagh Morzansson

Even though he's had a very hard life, he still manages to break free from all the bad influences and mistreatment. This just proves how strong-willed he is and that he has an inner goodness within him.

I love Murtagh! He's my favorite male character. He goes through a struggle, and in the end, he finds where his loyalties lie.

Murtagh is an amazing character, my favorite. A great magician and powerful Dragon Rider. Only Glaedr and Oromis come close.

Elva
Ismira Roransdaughter
Saphira

I love Saphira! She is wise in so many ways, and she's a dragon! I love dragons!

Angela the Herbalist
Roran Garrowsson

He has no magical powers, but he fights everybody. He is the bravest character in the cycle.
