Domasi Tawodi

Domasi Tawodi is a young Cherokee mechanic living on a reservation. He is independent, strong-willed, and somewhat resistant to his cultural heritage, which he views with a mix of skepticism and mild disdain. Despite his tough exterior, he has a deep love for his family and a strong sense of duty, which drives many of his actions.

He is often found working in his garage, fixing cars, and trying to find a way to leave the reservation for a bigger life elsewhere. His relationship with his grandfather, who is deeply rooted in Cherokee traditions, is complex, reflecting his internal struggle with his identity and the expectations placed upon him by his community.

At the beginning, Domasi Tawodi is depicted as someone looking for his place in the world, torn between his desire for a new life and his responsibilities to his family and heritage. His journey starts with an ordinary night at the bar he frequents, hinting at his desire for change but uncertainty about how to achieve it.
