Most of the homes looks like cabins in the village. The habitants are all brown skinned people with nappy wool textured hair and blue eyes, or green eyes.

There's one small family within the village who was the poorest, a single mother with 4 kids, one daughter and 4 sons. One who was the oldest was named Milnou, she's only 16 and Now she's  like the head of the house, she takes care of her mother and brothers. Everyone looks down on them in the village maybe because there was no man to be the head of the family.
