Name: Melina Dow Age: 13 Personally: VERY cat-like Skills: Climbing trees, very sharp nails, cat skills Weakness: Water and other cat fears Story: She and her parents like with several other families on a dairy ranch. They had some barn cats to keep the rodents down. They cats also liked the milk. She is like a cat herself. Strategy: Try to get a backpack, but if someone is after her, leave it and run. Find a cat. Token: A little pouch full of catnip, with a milk bottle cap sewn onto the front.

Name: Rama Till Age:12 Personally: Curios, mischievous, clever. Skills: Herding, good with cattle and water buffalos. Finding things to eat. Story: His family also lived on the dairy ranch. They would tend the field that the animals would graze on. He would drive the herds from the barn to the field, then back to the barn at night. He would herd the herds with and a few other kids. He only did the cattle and water buffalos. They would lie out their and talk and sleep and wake and nap some more and weave little baskets out of dried grass and put bugs in them for a while and watch lizards and snakes sunning themselves and sing long, long songs (all the singing will help him a lot in these Games) and sting a stand of nuts and small things and make a little meal out of what they can find and make things out off mud. Those days seamed longer than most people’s whole lives. Strategy: Try to get a backpack, but if someone is after him, leave it and run. Find a very good ally.
