The novel is the first in the 5th Wave trilogy, followed by The Infinite Sea and The Last Star. In The Last Star it is also revealed by Ben (Zombie) that Ringer is not a particularly good liar, as he could see through her lie about who Constance really was, very easily. The 5th Wave is a young adult science fiction novel written by American author Rick Yancey. This may be because she tends to be rather blunt. Ringer eventually is able to convince him otherwise, after she has Ben remove the tracking device from her neck, which shows that the eyepiece only picks up human beings who don't have an implant, not necessarily Teds themselves.ĭue to her introverted nature, she is not skillful in getting along with people: in The Fifth Wave, her first time with Ben's squad is awkward in the beginning of The Infinite Sea, Ringer tries to get along with the others but this is misinterpreted by Cassie as arrogance. Ringer is generally quick to follow orders, yet she still sits back and assesses the situation at hand she has no problem challenging orders, which is shown when Ben is reluctant to confront Reznik because he didn't light up green on their eyepieces. She eventually develops a strong loyalty toward Ben and the rest of the squad, as shown when she tells Ben she would go back for him, if he didn't come back from his intrusion back into Camp Haven to save Nugget.


She doesn't smile most of the time, which is why Ben repeatedly tries to coax one out of her, often to no avail. Her demeanor is outright calm and she is very tactical and calculating, as in the first book, she succeeds in revealing Camp Haven's conspiracy to Ben, removing their track devices (in the back of their heads) without losing herself. Ringer is described as having an intense and reserved personality.
