The KTDA Council of Tribes "Tribe Awards," honoring our game-characters who parallel the original "Tribe" characters we all know and love.

In "The Tribe" Season-1, Trudy gave birth & began dealing with the ups 'n downs of motherhood.

Above everything, that single moment defined--and continued to define--Trudy and her role in that place and time.

No matter what happened to her, whether it was the Chosen or the Technos or the Ecos or even the Mallrats, you could predict Trudy because she was a mother.

If her baby was threatened, then Trudy's survival was threatened. And when she knew she wasn't strong enough to secure the future, she would turn to whatever strength she could find.

Arianna IS Trudy, but only up to a point.

Our Arianna has her baby Saphire, and she is very much a mother-figure to Fort River's youngest kids. Arianna & Trudy part ways when it comes to strength. Ari trained and strengthened herself so that she could be the one to fight for what mattered to her.

And fight she has. Spectacularly.

We just wish, unlike Trudy, that Ari had better luck with the men in her life.
