"Our colony on Kenari was divided between the older kids and the younger ones. I was right in the middle, not big enough to be an 'adult', too big to be one of the 'children'. I was always left behind on hunts. It drove me crazy. I wanted to be one of the big ones. So I found ways to set myself apart from the little ones. This was one of them. One of the biggest kids taught us all how to do things with sticks, mostly make hunting traps and baskets, but once she showed us how to make basic dolls. I taught myself how to get really good at them, to make them for my sister."
