Ryder Mitchell

Ryder Mitchell is one of the main protagonists (along with his older sister Dylan Mitchell) of the 2010 found footage horror film Slender 2: The Arrival. He is the younger brother of Dylan Mitchell and the nephew of Kate.

He is played by Ty Simpkons.

Personality
Unlike his older sister Dylan Mitchell who is an unlikeable complete and utter monster, Ryder is a likeable, sympathetic, tragic, and heroic protagonist who shows worry for his tormentors when they are being killed off one by one, despite how they treat him.

He showed the most sadness towards Bryan's death due to his kindness.

However, he also hated Dylan for her evilness and also doesn't show sympathy for her when she is defeated.

History
When Ryder was born, his older sister Dylan hated him out of selfish jealousy and wanted him to die at birth.

For the next years, Dylan abused Ryder and put on a fake kind image just to get away with it.

One night, she went too far by telling him the story of the Slender Man and laughed at his reaction to the story.

Before the events of the film, she was supposed to babysit him but selfishly went to a party instead of taking care of him and left him alone in the house.

Slender 2: The Arrival
After the party, Ryder goes missing and Dylan is on Skypecall about it, which Ryder is secretly watching.

At first, the group is having fun but a mysterious woman is visiting them. They brush her off but later get scared when she forces Dean Summers to drink bleach until he coughs up blood and dies from the poisoning.

As the attack is happening, they try to figure out who she is and they think that she is the one who kidnapped Ryder.

However, Lexi Chang becomes possessed and goes to her kitchen where she takes out a knife and stabs her knife as the group watches in horror.

Next, Bridget Foster hides under her bed and covers her mouth so she won't scream. When she thinks that the attacker is gone, she asks someone to help her but then gets dragged away by the attacker.

A video shows up and it shows Bridget tied up and muffling for help but the attacker ties a rope around Bridget's neck and hangs her. Bridget struggles but then slowly stops and dies from suffocation.

As the group is trying to get some help, Robbie McDonnell finds his cell phone in a fire place and tries to call for help but the attacker closes the fire place and lights it, burning him to death.

Then a video shows up and it's revealed that Dylan and Brent Martinez were having an affair behind Bryan Roberts' back, much to his anger.

Brent then gets possessed and is forced to ground his hand and neck in the blender.

However, Bryan is depressed by the affair and commits suicide by shooting himself is the head, much to Ryder's horror and sadness.

The attacker was also saddened by what happened and honors him by finally deciding to expose Dylan's crimes.

When they are shown, the viewers post angry comments about Dylan and the sadistic cyber bully doesn't show remorse for her crimes and actually hopes that Ryder dies for all she cares.

However, Dylan is defeated when the attacker who is later revealed to be Kate from the first film appears to her and jump scares her.

When the Skypecall ends, Ryder is seen in the camera's view and he is terrified but Kate finds him and comforts him before taking him home.

In the ending text, Ryder and Kate's whereabouts are unknown but he is safe and unharmed. He currently lives with her and is grateful for how she loved him like a son to her. Dylan is now hated for her crimes and no one cared about what happened to her. However, Bryan's family is left mourning for Bryan's death.
