Pocahontas
Grandmother Willow is met by Pocahontas in the woods. Pocahontas asks her about she was confused about marrying Kocoum, who became John Smith's enemy. Pocahontas follows her grandmother's advise that the spinning arrow is her path. The next day, Pocahontas brings John Smith to Grandmother Willow. Smith was frightened at first, but she says that he has a good soul. The third day, she listens to Pocahontas's story about why her people thought Ratcliffe's settlers invaders. She says that Pocahontas and John Smith can be friends only if the two races stop their feud. The day later, she asks Pocahontas to stop the feud by jumping onto her father. After the feud stops, she brings the spirits of nature to guide Pocahontas.
