Namaia

A child beneath the wing of his golden eagle in the Altai region in western Mongolia. The Kazakh nomads still use the birds for hunting.

Gerald, Keith, Mary, Sophia, Nicol: I love her.

----

Alan (20 chapters later): !!! I love her.

Master-Class

1. Keith – He has the most experience saying no. His mother has taught him well. He’s strong and Katarina can’t break him (very debatable). Unfortunately, for him, he’s been doing it the longest which means Katarina is immune to him at this point.  

Very Skilled

2. Geordo – Almost as good as Keith, largely because he knows when to pick his battles against Katarina. However, his weakness is that saying no to Katarina, derails his whole plan of spoiling her and giving her everything she wants.

Good

3. Raphael - He’s pretty untested at this point, but he’s been doing well. Katarina might be breaking his will…so there is that.

Not Exactly Great

4. Nicol – He can do it…it just takes him a minute or five. It’s even worse when he has to say no to both Sophia and Katarina and that’s when he needs to be strong and firm. 

5. Maria – When it comes to Katarina’s health or safety, she can do it. Really, she can, as long as she doesn’t look Katarina in the eyes or just her face in general. 

Eh

6. Alan – He usually goes along with Katarina’s bullshit or just laughs at her. He’s just not used to being the responsible one, because usually someone else is there to do it. He can laugh at her and call her stupid, so that must count for something. Right?

The Worst

7. Sophia – She will follow Katarina to the ends of the earth. She’s basically no help in the task of reining Katarina in at all.
