Dahli Sandiniti is luckier than most teen girls on her home world of Sferkkaa, and she knows it. She has a roof over her head, her best friend Diza, her older sister Teirra, a room of her own with some posters on the wall, and usually food enough to eat. What Dahli loves most of all is music, especially Sferkkaa's most famous band, The Mortified Gryphons. She'd love to meet the drummer, but that will never happen. Certainly not by accidentally walking into a bathroom and clobbering him with a door.
