Elva is supposedly having a huge part in the 4th book. Could she be a Rider??? Could the Dragon spirits make her like Eragon? Or did Saphiras mark give her some undiscovered powers??? Please Vote.

Doubt it because of her instability and how would Eragon feel teaching Elva the ways of the Dragon Riders. That wouldn't be awkward at all (lots of sarcasm intended).

it a good idea she could defeat galby but one problem shes to short

What with ears with points. I don't think elva is an elf.

i didn't notice the points on her ears

We talking about the figure in Silver's signature. The ears kind of have points but not as prominent as an elf's ears they're right angled.

Dear Lord I hope not
Eragon would be screwed
lol

He just read the thread title "Elva- A Rider?" and answered the question he didn't read the last post.

OOC: this is already a topic, please look for a topic that resembles the one you want to make b4 you post it.

IC: i dont think elva will be the rider, but my sig says it all anyway.

Yikes! I do't think so but if she does she will get a lot of power!

I really doubt that Elva will be a rider. By the way IgnasiaEldvary (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) I want Murtagh to live too.

I don't think she will because everyone is already wary of her and if she gained the power she probably wouldn't help the Varden.

She will not be the new rider. Unless you've forgotten she's just a child.

I don't think age matters at this point. There was a certain age people were presented to eggs in the past but it could hatch for a child. There are people who say one of the elf children might get the egg.

Age doesn't seem to be any kind of factor among dragon riders, and Elva has the body of someone atleast six years old already. it would be possible for her to become a dragon rider. Really its possible for anyone who is either elven kind or human to be a rider, unless they amend the pact to include dwarves we can assume that it will be either Roran, Katrina, Arya, Nasuada, Angela, or Elva.

Of the choices however I doubt that it will be Katrina or Elva, if they do have Elva become the next rider (which seems unlikely) her story will likely revolve around her deciding if she will side with Eragon and the Varden or if she would rather destroy them all given her spite twards Eragon and humanity in general she could very well become a villian.

Arya would be the obvious choice for the final rider, I'll say no it won't be Elva but there is always a chance..

I don't think any of those people will be rider. Elva because of reasons Arthur stated, Arya because she is too obvious and already holds a lot of power. Roran or Katrina because two brothers are already Riders and it seems unlikely that another one would become the last. I still think it might be the strangers Angela met.

Arya shouldn't be the rider and a lot of people don't want her to be. She isn't right.

lol... It strikes me as rather amusing, seeing you two odds stating that "alot of people want her to be." "alot of people don't want her to be." its rather self serving, of course alot of people have those opinions considering how many people read these books thats an obvious fact. Personally I wouldn't mind either way if Arya turns to to be the next Rider, as she would be an ideal choice considering how powerful she is already and the fact that Galbatorix is so powerful himself, though that would make Eragon somewhat of a lesser Rider in compairison and seeing as he is the main character in the story I don't see him being cast down that way. (though its quite likely that he will gain alot more power in the near future)

Elva would be a shock, anyone elf or human could technically be a rider so she actually could be dispite her age and temperment. logic says she won't be because she isn't entirely good. logic also states that if she were to become a rider her dragon would suffer greatly because of the mental link between them, the pain she feels being so extreme that she has to be put to sleep during battles and still isn't immune to it. Unless her dragon preforms magic that can deal with it it won't be Elva.

i think it would be cool if elva became the next rider because she wouldn't help the varden or galby but it is likely angela will be the next rider because cp based her on his sister so it would probally seem fair to make her a rider to that is if cps sister wants her charactor to be a rider.

i think it will either be roran or one of the strangers. the strangers because CP wouldnt have put them in BRISINGR for no reason and roran because his cousin eragon, and half-cousin murtagh are alreay riders so think about it. they are all related there i think roran will be the rider because he shares the same blood as murtagh and eragon , both riders. see my point

maybe the strangers were a distrachion to throw everyone of track

aye *claims the honor of saying he said that before* in nearly the same words, only longer. Roran has always been the human hero, Katrina during one of their chats makes a big deal out of the fact that he goes out and fights without any sort of magick power to back him up and says that makes him braver and more powerful than any rider or shade, or something along those lines.

i just had an idea i know everyone is going to say it will never happen but what if a urgal is the next rider?

if the books took place before the first eragon and i said what if an elve became a rider you would of said the same thing but i knew everone would say that i am crazy whitch i am

When Eragon tried to lift his blessing he failde to remove it completely but she can ignore peoples pain now.

And the person who said Elva had spite towards eragon she said she is neutral towards him and that she is as prepared to love him as she is to hate him. and on age, Brom was ten or something like that when he was chosen to be a rider and elva has the body of a six year old and the intellect of a adult. personally i think she would be a good rider.

the fact that she can ignore it doesn't mean she doesn't feel it, it states rather specifically that ignoring it means not being compelled to jump in and help people anymore, and really there isn't once ounce of conversation between Elva and Eragon that didn't come across as sarcastic or spiteful to me.
