Macon Melchizedek Ravenwood is the town shut-in and is often compared in the novel to the character Boo Radley from To Kill A Mockingbird. Ethan later hears Lena playing "Sixteen Moons" in band.

Profile: "Souls" of The Orange Netherlands
Strength
Have sharp strikers. Both Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Robin van Persie are top scorers in the German Bundesliga and the Premier League. Many options in the middle. Free kick expert. If there's free kick near the penalty area, there are many choices to be the executors, Sneijder, Arjen Robben, or Robin van Persie. A disciplined defensive midfielder. Mark van Bommel was slow, but he has the ability to read the game to break the opponent's attack.
Weaknesses
Slow central defender. Although only conceded eight goals during the Euro 2012 qualifiers, the Dutch defense are still doubted. Difficulty of integrating the two strikers is also crucial problem needed to be solved immediately.
Profile: The "Backbones" of Les Blues France
Though it was abandoned by Zinedine Zidane, the French national team appearance in the international arena is still awesome. Escaped from the arena of Euro 2012 qualifying as winner of group is indisputable evidence.Strength
Many "pillars" of France squad play in three elite leagues in Europe, Premier League, England, La Liga, Spain and Bundesliga, Germany.
Therefore, more or less they know and learn the style of those countries.
Profile: The Pillars of El Matador Spain
In UEFA EURO 2012, Spain becomes the favorite candidate to win the game.
Strength
El Matador, the nickname of Spain, has great players, who mostly have skills on the above average, in all lines. Who would doubt the mentality of the team winning last two major events, Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010. This Champion mentality owned by the Spain squad places them as one of the strongest champion candidate of this tournament.
Weaknesses
El Clasico rivalry, the disharmony of Barcelona and Real Madrid players haunts La Furia Roja (also the official nickname of Spain) since the majority of Spain players are from those two clubs. If this rivalry can not be eliminated from each player, the ambition to be the first country to win Euro in two tournaments reportedly (back to back champions) will be difficult to realize.
Profile: The "Stars" of Der Panzer Germany
As one of the strongest candidates of the EURO 2012 champion, along with Netherlands and Spain, Der Panzer, the nickname of Germany national football team, must be the member of the "hellish" group, group B. It is not too exaggerate to say "hellish" group since there are three strong and experienced countries, one of them also predicted as candidate of champion, become the other members of this group, they are: Netherlands, Portugal, and Denmark.
Strength
Germany is synonymous with strength, endurance, and discipline, but Loew, the coach of Germany, cleverly combining them with new tactics those are management of the ball, creativity, risk taking, and dynamic movement. As a result, Der Panzer becomes a spectacular squad. This "plus" is the reason why they become a favorite of champion in EURO 2012.
Weaknesses
There is a little doubt in Der Panzer squad when we talk about the back line. Germany is known as a team to attack and sometimes they forget and leave the back opens.
Moreover, despite qualifying with a perfect result, Loew continues to replace players of the back line, and this is a bit worrying.
