Camille Rowen
“The idea that some other land, some other civilization lay out beyond that flat blue horizon intrigued her beyond any dinner party or tea invitation” (6). Camille Rowen is the main character of Everlasting by Angie Frazier. Once Camille puts her mind to something, there’s no stopping her. She fears loss of freedom, and she demonstrates tremendous bravery throughout the book. This is a heart pounding tale of a race to find a stone that can resurrect someone. With action, romance, adventure and well written characters, Everlasting is a great read that nearly anyone can enjoy.
When Camille finds out there’s a way to resurrect her father, she’ll stop at nothing to bring him back. She’s headset on it, even if it could mean her death.

I think the reason this trait stood out to me is the type of bravery she had. She still showed fear, worry, and self doubt, but she always pushed through it.

To conclude, I think that Camille Rowen is a very well rounded, well thought out character. Her traits remain consistent throughout the book, yet still developing tremendously. Almost everyone can find a piece of themselves in her, whether it is in her will, her fear of losing freedom, or her
