- Silver-Fox stretched the world out each night in all directions until it was the size it is today so could expand on just how he did that and talk about any complications he had with making it
- Coyote could be really jealous of Silver-Fox's ability to create so much
- Chareya, Old Man Above, created all of nature and the animals but feared the powerful Grizzly he created so could write from the Grizzly's perspective as a bully of Chareya
- Could also expand on all of the nature and animals he created and write about the process
- The Pine Trees were the only trees that knew how to make fire and they hid their gift from all of the animals who were freezing, could talk about their culture and selfishness
- Brave Beaver stole a coal and ran away from them so it would be exciting to go into more detail on the chase and how he narrowly escaped
- Could also write diary entries of a young Pine Tree who feels guilty keeping all of the fire secret while all of the animals are miserable
As-Ai-Yahal
- Could tell the story of how the god travelled the land and when he did not like something, he drastically changed it or cast it away which could make the people very angry at him
- Young woodrat was a gossip and started all sorts of rumors about and fights with the rabbits
- His lodge caught on fire one day as karma and he and his rude mother died
- Tyhee Sahale was angry with the people and the bad animals so he shot arrows into the sky and climbed up with his children and the good animals, cutting the arrow trails when the bad animals tried to follow
- Could have the bad animals revolt and start a furious battle when he tries to cut the trails
