Dara

Dara is a young elf boy Ciri encounters after fleeing the fall of Cintra, sheltering among his people in the forest of Brokilon. Wary and guarded, he has every reason to distrust humans, yet finds himself drawn into an uneasy friendship with the princess, torn between loyalty to his own and sympathy for her.

The show uses Dara as a quiet counterweight to Ciri's privilege, a reminder that the world she's fleeing has already brutalized people like him. Wilson Radjou-Pujalte plays that wariness without cynicism, letting flickers of boyish curiosity and hurt show through the suspicion, which makes his scenes with Ciri feel unusually tender.
