Stubborn, strong willed, and sarcastic are just a few of the words to describe Tamara. Meeting the others in a cave in the middle of the Arctic, she and Paul nearly come to blows over the possession of a Saber tooth-tiger fang. Once one gets past her rough sarcastic shield, we discover that she is a very positive and intelligent person. Tamara also shares Paul's sense of adventure, and joins in the responsibility of bringing everyone else into sticky situations, all in the name of adventuring.
