I would think that karana is really creative,clever,brave,and smart.
Well, she is very creative indian. And Barve because she stayed alone on that Island for 18 yrs.
Tutok is a young Aleut girl who was stranded on the island with Karana in the book "Island of the Blue Dolphins." Karana and Tutok played a game together where they would throw rocks to see who could throw them the farthest into the ocean.
Karana in "Island of the Blue Dolphins" would gather sea urchin spines and attach them to a long stick to use as a tool for scraping scallops off rocks. This method allowed her to collect scallops for food.

What did karana use her bow and arrow for in island of the blue dolphins
She does because she has no one else to talk to. I'm sure you would if you were alone on an island with only a dog to talk to.
Karana protected her food from the mice on the island of the blue dolphins by suspending it from the roof of her shelter using strings so that the mice couldn't reach it. She also placed pottery shards on the ground around her food to deter the mice from coming near. Additionally, she kept a close eye on her food and would often check on it to make sure it was safe.
Aleuts ( the white men ) arrived on the island to hunt for sea otters. After a few weeks of hunting, they killed half the village including the chief, Karana ( main character ) 's father. A new chief was named and he said that they would move to another island because now they're a risk of Aleuts going back to the island and to kill now everyone. So, a ship arrives and brings everyone to the other island. Everyone? No. Karana and her brother are left behind. After a few days, Karana's brother got killed by wild dogs and Karana wants to take her revenge. She survives alone and wants to kill the chief of the wild dogs that she finally adopts after injuring it. She names it Rontu and lives together. Then the Aleuts come back and they have brought a young native girl with them. Her name is Tutok but her and Karana doesn't have the same language. So, they learn their language and becomes friends. But one day, she suddenlydissapears. Worried, Karana continues her life in the woods.
Karana discovered a hidden cave on the island that she could use to hide from the Aleuts if they came. This cave would provide her with a safe place to stay and protect herself from danger.
Karana lost hope that the ship would return for her after waiting for 18 years. She eventually accepted her situation and began to focus on creating a new life for herself on the island.
Karana's actions of grooming herself by making a brush and mirror from materials on the island, as well as collecting abalone to make jewelry for herself, show that she took pride in her appearance despite being alone on the island. She also made an effort to keep her clothes clean and maintained, indicating she cared about how she presented herself.
Karana's tribe lives on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. At times they are bothered by Aleuts who come to take otter from the island. As the story begins, the Aleuts, with a Russian captain, return. They agree to pay the islanders for being allowed to take more otter. But, when it is time to leave, there is a disagreement and a fight. Many of the men on the island are killed. A ship comes to take the tribe to the mainland. At the last moment, as the ship is departing, Karana sees her brother, Ramo, still on shore, jumps into The water and swims for shore. Ramo is soon killed by wild dogs on the island. Karana tried to follow her tribe by using one of the canoes, but has to return to the island because the canoe leaks too badly. Karana realizes that she will be on the island indefinitely and builds a permanent shelter. She injures the leader of the wild dogs, but does not kill him. Instead, she cares for him until he is healthy. They become friends. The Aleuts return. Karana and an Aleut girl from the ship become friends, but she leaves and Karana is lonelier than she was before the girl arrived. The island endures an earthquake and a tsunami. A rescue ship arrives, but immediately departs, without connecting with Karana, because of bad weather. Several years later the ship returns and rescues her. Another story woven into the main story is the story of Karana's relationship with the dog, Rontu. Rontu came from an Aleut ship. He became the leader of the wild dogs on the island. He was their leader when they killed Ramo, Karana's brother. Karana injured him during a revenge attack on the pack, but did not proceed to kill him. Instead, she cared for him until he was healthy. They became friends. Once he got into a fight with his former pack. Karana wanted to help him, but felt that it would be better not to do so. Rontu lived many years and died of old age. Karana put him to rest in a carefully prepared grave. Later, she befriended another island dog who was obviously his son. A third story that is woven into the main story, but that is of less importance, is the story of Karana and the devilfish. In their first encounter the devilfish (octopus) used a black liquid to hide himself and get away from Karana. Karana did not give up. She looked forward to the time when she would kill him. She tells us that "Devilfish is the best food in the seas." She was occupied with other concerns for a while, but eventually she and Rontu began to search for the devilfish every day. Then, they gave up temporarily. One day, when they were not searching for him, Rontu spotted the devilfish again. Karana tried to catch it, and after a long struggle, she succeeded in killing it. By this time her strength was gone. Her success did not make her happy. That was the last giant devilfish that she killed.
