So here's the basic plot: it's colonial America, and my character, Nizhoni, is a Native American girl who lives in the forest near a colony. Your character is a colonist guy who sees her, and tries to make friends with her. She eventually gets captured, and isn't allowed to leave the colony.
Nizhoni crouched in the bushes, watching the strange people build some kind of square structure. The 19-year-old girl watched with interest.
