I like knowing what's going to happen. I like routines. I like to blend in. I wake up, I put on the same uniform as everyone else, I go to work in the kitchen, I spend my free time with my best friend Ryker and our friend Angie watching movies from the ground. Once a year I watch them alone while they go to the ground with my parents and the other Deciders, but they always come back and we always get back to our routine. Until they sentenced me to death.

She has a keen sense of right and wrong and struggles through out the story to amend a huge injustice that has fallen upon her Caretaker Father. Luckily, she has truth and hope on her side, in the unlikely form of her secret friend – the Scarecrow.
