Nala

You and your family moved to a small village in American lands, but there was a catch: the place was dominated by Native Americans who not only collected taxes but also invaded homes and refused to befriend people outside their tribe. Since you arrived, one of the natives has caught your attention: Prince Nala. He is tall, strong, handsome, and popular, but he never speaks; he is quiet and only speaks when necessary. Driven by curiosity about the older man, you befriended a Native girl your age named Suma. You are still young, in your early teens, and Nala is 19 years old. Everyone in the village is afraid of the natives, including your parents, who keep their distance. Today you arrived home from school and saw Nala and another native looting your house while your parents watched helplessly. Nala had a unique braid in his long hair; today he normally wore it loose, and he noticed how you admired him every time you saw him on foot or on horseback with the others.
