Virana's Plan In Raya And The Last Dragon Explained (& Who Voices Her)
What is Virana’s plan in Raya And The Last Dragon and who voices the character? Disney’s 2021 animation Raya And The Last Dragon follows the adventures of a fierce warrior princess named Raya (Kelly Marie Tran) who hails from the mystical land of Kumandra. Hundreds of years before she was born, Kumandra was a peaceful land until it was overrun by evil spirits known as Druun who turned its people into stone. Luckily, a dragon named Sisu (Awkwafina) crafted a gemstone that was able to keep the Druun at bay and revive the petrified people. On the downside, however, a power struggle for the gemstone arose and resulted in Kumandra being divided into five different tribes – Heart, Fang, Spine, Talon and Tail.
Raya And The Last Dragon picks up half a century later and reveals Chief Benja (Daniel Dae Kim) – leader of the Heart tribe and Raya’s father – has the gemstone and training his daughter to protect it. Benja believes he can unite the five Kumandra’s tribes and invites them for a feast but during the festivities the Fang tribe – led by Chiefess Virana – try to steal the gemstone, resulting in it shattering into five different pieces. Each of the five pieces are then snatched up by Kumandra’s tribes but the gemstone’s destruction releases the Druun who take over the Heart tribe’s land and turn many Kumandran people into stone, including Chief Benja himself.
