Miss Perry Mattfeld began her career at age 5 dancing ballet; she danced ballet exclusively for 9 years until she began her tutelage under Ms. Debbie Allen in Los Angeles. Under the direction of Ms. Allen, Perry broadened her technique to include multiple disciplines of dance. Perry was featured in Ms. Allen's World Premiere Musical, Alex in Wonderland. Perry is also proud to have been part of the original musical theatre cast at Mattel's American Girl Theater portraying American Girl Dolls, Kirsten Larson and Kit Kittredge. Perry performed over 164 shows for American Girl at the Grove in Los Angeles. These theatrical performances led to Perry's current love of acting. Delighting in all the talented people she has been fortunate to meet in the endeavor, Perry has enjoyed various roles in film and television. Her third season episode opener as "FrankenGirl" for Disney's The Wizards of Waverly Place was seen by over 4.6 million viewers. Perry lives in Southern California with her family and puppy, Rowmeoh. She graduated Cum Laude from the University of Southern California (USC), School of Dramatic Arts with a B.F.A. in Acting and minor in Film Studies. You may have recognized her, as did Sports Illustrated, on the field and at promotional events as one of The World Famous USC Song Girls.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant. She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise. Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret. Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die
