In the beginning of the novel, Alyss is characterized as arrogant, immature, and loving. Beddor writes “I won’t need any lessons, Alyss said. I’ll just imagine that I know everything and then I will, so you won’t have to give them to me” (Beddor 26). Beddor quotes this to illustrate that she is acting arrogant or better than everyone else.
