Pocahontas
Pocahontas was the hero at the time in the new world, saving a white man's life and her whole tribe. Pocahontas realized her adventure when she has her dream of the spinning arrow. She is very confused with her dream and asks Grandmother Willow what it means, at this time, she sees John Smith. Since Pocahontas has never seen someone with lighter skin and blonde hair before, she runs, stating her refusal of the call. Once she stops being afraid, she shows John Smith the way of her people while he tries to show her the way of his. Pocahontas now falling in love with John Smith, is not very careful, which leads to him being captured and Kokoum dying. When John Smith is captured, Pocahontas is torn between saving John Smith or joining her tribe in a war she doesn't want to be apart of. When she finally decides to stop this whole mess and to save John, little did she know that she was making peace between the two sides. When Pocahontas saves John by putting her body over his, her father, the chief, sees that she loves him. The other Indians see that if there is something the chief's daughter sees in the pale face, then they can't all be horrible. The pale faces, at the bottom of the cliff see the chief back away from killing John and they realize that going to war with them is a horrible idea. When John is saved, and the war is put off, the pale faces head back to England leaving a few people behind to start a colony, leaving Pocahontas for the next adventure.
