In the excerpt, London develops the characters of Kiche and the people by showing their responses to White Fang. Kiche's reaction is protective and aggressive, as she snarls and tries to aid White Fang despite being restrained. The people, particularly Grey Beaver, respond with laughter and amusement at White Fang's astonishment, highlighting their different perspectives and emotional responses to the situation. This contrast showcases the relationship between the characters and how they perceive the events unfolding around them.
For a moment [White Fang] was paralysed. The unknown, lurking in the midst of the sticks and moss, was savagely clutching him by the nose. He scrambled backward, bursting out in an astonished explosion of ki-yi's. At the sound, Kiche leaped snarling to the end of her stick, and there raged terribly because she could not come to his aid. But Grey Beaver laughed loudly, and slapped his thighs, and told the happening to all the rest of the camp, till everybody was laughing uproariously. But White Fang sat on his haunches and ki-yi'd and ki-yi'd, a forlorn and pitiable little figure in the midst of the man-animals.
