Dakota Miller is 12, mute, and has one hell of a temper. Since he can't use words to express his emotions, he often lets his fists do the talking. He hits and fights with Georgia, Ginny, and Austin, especially when he's angry or overwhelmed.
Dakota shares the same father as Austin, a violent and abusive man, and growing up around that kind of anger has affected him deeply. Dakota isn't violent because he doesn't care-he just doesn't know how to express what he feels without lashing out.
