Personality

Sandman's sister is a traditionalist who strongly adheres to her peoples’ values and beliefs.

She is strict and protective of her younger brother, scolding him and severely beating him for going against their customs.[2]

Sandman's sister is skeptical of white Americans and is quick to assume the worst when discovering an outsider’s tracks near the village.[2] Much like other members of her community, she shares a narrow-minded perspective on her people's way of life and is resistant to change. Having grown up with Sandman, she wishes nothing more than for the two of them to peacefully return to the village; however, when Sandman reveals his plan to leave the village and win the Steel Ball Run race, she's taken aback. Nonetheless, she offers Sandman a keepsake from their parents to help him enter the race.[3]

It's implied that, unlike her brother, Sandman's sister is illiterate and unable to read.[2]

Sandman tells her that understanding the enemy's culture is necessary for their survival and shows her strange holes in the wasteland, which he suspects were made by the white man. Sandman tells her tells that he plans to leave the village and participate in the Steel Ball Run race to win enough money to buy their ancestors' land.[2] However, like the rest of her people, she does not understand, or at least is not willing to understand, that they need to adapt to the changing times to survive. Before Sandman entering the race, Sandman's sister offers him an emerald belonging to their parents so that he can afford to pay the entry fee.[3]
