Though we don't know that much about her, Ringer's important because she's the person who figures out that Camp Haven is secretly run by aliens. We wouldn't want to meet Ringer in a dark alley, but we really wouldn't want to go up against Ringer in a game of Scrabble or Boggle. Her love of chess gives her an analytical outlook on life (or it may be the other way around). She never smiles-she tells Ben 'it was the first thing to go,' (57.4)-and she's razor-sharp. She's sixteen-ish, but she has a lot of gravity for her age-we're guessing she was a pretty high-ranking member of student government, back in the day.
