River Garrett is a 12 year old boy from the U.S. When River was 8, he and his parents were in a car accident that killed both his parents and left him in critical condition. He spent a week in the ICU but eventually pulled through and recovered. The accident did however leave him mostly deaf in his left ear and he wears a hearing aid. Despite being in and out of foster homes since the death of his parents, River is a surprisingly happy child. He is a go-getter and wants to accomplish as much as he can. Though River excells in his schoolwork and likes to read and do word puzzles and similar activities, what he really loves to do is play basketball, video games, and go hiking. He also enjoys animals, particularly his pet turtle, a red-eared slider names Curtis.
Nikola Áron is five year old boy from Hungary. He speaks Hungarian mostly, and a very little bit of English. Nik grew up with his grandmother since his father left before he was born and his mother never really wanted to have a child. His grandmother has recently become ill and is no longer able to care for him. He was very close with her and wishes to remain in contact with her if you would allow. Nik can be very shy around people he doesn't know well, but once you get to know him he is the sweetest little boy ever. He is very caring and loves to help other people out. Nik is very artistic and loves to draw, paint, and make crafts.
