Dry Towels

Archetype

A calm support kid who removes soak and keeps teammates fighting but cannot defend himself well.

Personality

Dry Towels is an even-tempered eight-year-old who notices what needs doing. He took the towels because nobody else did. He has seen every kind of meltdown on the block and usually answers by handing over a towel and waiting.

He is not a tiny doctor or the street's wise man. He is still eight. His calm comes from having a clear job, a counted stack, and no interest in making a speech while somebody is crying.

Motivation

Winning means keeping the other kids outside and able to return to the hill. He wants every dry towel to buy one more useful trip into the fight. The stack is a shared supply, and he takes responsibility for getting it to the right kid.

How they fight

He carries a tall stack of dry towels and removes soak from teammates. That makes him the roster's only subtraction and the best answer to a kid who is nearly called in. He is strongest behind a defended line, close enough to the fight to receive wet kids without standing in the stream himself.

He has a weak attack and both hands are occupied by the stack. Every towel used or soaked reduces what he can do later. Fast attackers can isolate him, and he needs teammates to keep pressure away while he works. One huge wagon blast can overwhelm the dry stack before he helps everyone caught in it.
