Ridley Larsen

Ridley Larsen is a member (and unofficial leader) of the Magic Misfits and a deuteragonist in the series. She is skilled at transformation magic and inventing things. She also has a pet rabbit named Top Hat.

## Early Life

Ridley Grew up in a large house with her Mother and Father, Mr. and Mrs. Larsen. She has always had a special connection to her father because he shares her love for tinkering and building things. Her mother, however, doesn't interact with Ridley as much as she should because Mrs. Larsen is constantly writing romance novels. Mrs. Larsen is so obsessed with writing that she often cares more about her "deadline" than Ridley. This caused Ridley to slightly resent her mother throughout her life.

## Magic Misfits

Ridley was a bit skeptical of Carter at first. However, when she and the others went to B.B. Bozo's Circus, she and Carter exchanged a few tricks, with her rolling over his foot and leaving stickers behind and him replacing those stickers on her.

During the Misfits' revealing of Bosso's deception, Ridley held up the cue cards.

In the second book, she insisted on the Misfits learning Morse code, which later came in useful. When Alessandra Santos (Madame Esmeralda) came to dinner, at first she didn't want to participate in showing her skills but later threw a handkerchief several times on the table, which made it change colors.

## Personality

Ridley is tough as nails, she's fiercely loyal, and she's smart as a whip, but she can be a harsh critic. She has a hard time controlling her short temper, doesn't trust people without severely doubting them first- and she's not intimidated easily. She loves inventing, and is most relaxed when the wheels in her brain are turning.
