She kept ancestrals traditions of her nation to show the people of Canada that the Indian was not savage and scalped everything that moves but good people who have respect for the forest knowing that they are not gods, but humans who are part of the food chain of nature. They know that every being is equal, they kill to feed and breed for balance and be able to have children with whom it will be their pride. It was a dream she had since she was young, she wanted to show the world that each culture have their pride, unfortunately she did not know if one day it would come true knowing they were chased by a bloodthirsty creature.

-"If you're alive it's because of me! Stop being a Bitch and grow a bit! We don't stand a chance against him, we are defendless and he's more strong than us! Did you saw him throw him away!? His weight was nothing for him! She yelled at her angrily, she was trembling in anger. Laryanne approach and put her hand on her shoulder to calm her down, Elysia was crying of anger and sadness, she took a deep breath and calm a little bit. "Let's move."
