Star Boy/Poia/Mistake Morning Star
An experienced horse-taker and warrior of the Lone Eaters band, and a member of Yellow Kidney’s horse raiding party against the Crow. He is a talented scouter and can slip in and out of enemy camps undetected. When Yellow Kidney disappears during the raid, Eagle Ribs has a dream about a white horse, the death horse, and a face he can’t quite identify. He suspects his dream means that Yellow Kidney is either dead or dying, but this isn’t confirmed until Yellow Kidney returns to the Lone Eaters’ camp moons later riding a scrawny and injured white horse.

Quotes
“I have had a bad dream and it troubles me. I came and went so fast, I could make little of it. In my dream I saw a small white horse wandering in the snow. Its hooves were split and it had sores all over. It was wearing a bridle and the reins trailed after it. But it was the eyes. I looked into the eyes and they were white and unseeing. As I drew closer I saw across its back fingers of blood.”
