America Singer

America Singer is the middle child of five. In Illéa, there is a caste system, where Ones are royalty, and goes down to Eights, also known as the 'untouchables'. America and her family are Fives, which mean they are Artists and Performers. She meets Aspen Leger, a Six (Workers) in a treehouse after curfew where they date and confess their love for each other.

America applies for The Selection in order to get her mother to agree to let her work alone and keep half of her earnings, not expecting to be picked. She is, however, and she and Aspen argue and ultimately break up. Arriving at the palace, she struggles through the Selection process, and makes friends with Marlee Tames and an impression on Prince Maxon. Due to rebel attacks, the Selection process was sped up, and the Elite six were named, and America was one of them.

Aspen found himself assigned as a castle guard, and quickly found himself guarding America's suite. They met up in secret nooks throughout the palace, and America found herself torn between Maxon and Aspen.

America is often quick to jump to other's aid, which includes her friend Marlee when she was found kissing a palace guard and sentenced to a caning. She often brought her ladies maids to safety during rebel raids, and patched up Maxon after King Clarkson beat him due to America's televised philanthropy that demanded an end to the caste system.

America continued to be a thorn in King Clarkson's side, and he attempted to undermine her and Prince Maxon's relationship at every chance.

The night before the final Selection, Maxon finds out about America and Aspen's previous relationship, and leaves in a rage, vowing to choose Kriss over America. At the final ceremony, the rebels attack, and attempt to kill America. Maxon leaps in front of her, and takes a bullet for her.

Once the attack is over, America learns that both King Clarkson and Queen Amberly have been killed, and Maxon is now King. He proposes to her, and she accepts.

America and Maxon have four children, Eadlyn Schreve and Ahren, who are twins, and Kaden and Osten, two younger boys. Eadlyn is heir to the Illéan throne.
