Though Modoc is an elephant, she is one of the most important 'people' in the novel. Born the same day as Bram Gunterstein, Modoc grows up with him, loving him and sharing a special bond. When Modoc is sold to a circus in America, Bram stows away on the ship so that he can be with his elephant. When the ship is torn apart during a violent monsoon, Modoc manages to escape the hold and swim to Bram, finding her person amid the torrential rain and waves. The amazing elephant manages to keep Bram and many others alive through the night, and though she and Bram almost perish, they manage to survive until help comes.
