Characters - Matched

Matched by: Ally Condie

Characters: Cassia is the main character in Matched and the story is told in her point of view. At the beginning of the novel Cassia seems to have a shy and quiet personality. Also she seem lost and is trying to find her true self. Throughout the story Cassia begins to gain more confidence and starts to become more outgoing. Cassia is a dynamic character.

Xander is another important character. He is a boy who has known Cassia since as long as he can remember. Xander and Cassia end up being matches for each other at the match banquet. At the beginning of the story he seems confident and strong within himself. You can see that throughout the text. I have not read far enough to determine how the character changes throughout the text.

Ky is another character who is introduced further in the story. Ky is the boy who Cassia saw on Xander's micro card. Both of his parents passed away in his childhood. Ky was chosen to be a single, which is when you will have no match and you will live alone, never get married and never have kids. Later in the story Cassia starts to fall in love with Ky instead of Xander.
