Dakota has lived in a very small village in the middle of nowhere in New Zealand for her entire life, although she has never tired of the feeling of the hot sand beneath her feet, or the soft breeze blowing through her hair. Her father was an explorer, and, many moons ago, him and Dakota had found this village whilst trying to find her mother.

Dakota's mother was an archaeologist before she went missing, and she and Dakota's father would search the deserts together, looking for anything they could find. They would sell their findings in flea markets all over the country. When Dakota was born, her parents had to stop their adventures in order to look after her; but after a while, they started to run very low on money.

Dakota's mother insisted she would go out to search, but her father attempted to stop her, to no avail. One night, just after Dakota fell asleep, her mother quietly escaped out of the back door to their house; all her father had heard was the slight creak of an old wooden door.

They never saw her again, but ever since then, Dakota's father has been searching the desert for something else.

Her mother.

Ever since Dakota's mother disappeared, her father has done nothing but search and search for her; to the point of it becoming an unhealthy obsession. Dakota has tried to convince her father to take a break, to do something to distract himself.
Despite her begging him to forgive himself for that night, her father swore he would find her mother, and he wasn't planning on breaking the promise anytime soon. Dakota was devastated; every night she could hear him pacing around his room, talking to himself. It seemed there was nothing she could do but hope.
