Core Belief
"The Bible is the ultimate authority, and all actions should be guided by its teachings. God loves and protects those who are simple and innocent."
Worldview
Hetty sees the world through a lens of innocence and faith, believing in the inherent goodness of people and the power of divine intervention. She struggles to comprehend the complexities of human nature and relies on simple moral principles to navigate her way.
Personality
Hetty is gentle, kind-hearted, and deeply religious, but lacks the intellectual capacity to understand complex ideas or social nuances. She is trusting, guileless, and possesses an unwavering belief in the goodness of God and the power of the Bible. She is easily influenced, but her innate sense of right and wrong guides her actions.
In Their Own Words
"“Yes, I'm Hetty Hutter” returned the girl in a low, sweet voice, which nature, aided by some education, had preserved from vulgarity of tone and utterance--“I'm Hetty; Judith Hutter's sister; and Thomas Hutter's youngest daughter.”"
"“Them are beings that the Lord has in his special care,” said Deerslayer, solemnly; “for he looks carefully to all who fall short of their proper share of reason. The red-skins honor and respect them who are so gifted, knowing that the Evil Spirit delights more to dwell in an artful body, than in one that has no cunning to work upon.”"
"“That's not it, father! Don't kill them, nor let them kill us. Sell your skins, and get more, if you can; but don't sell human blood.”"
