Along the way, they are chased by the princess of a clan seeking full power named Namaari ( Gemma Chan), and encounter several memorable supporting characters, including the gregarious Boun ( Izaac Wang), one-eyed Tong ( Benedict Wong), and even a “con baby,” a kid who uses her undeniable cuteness as an alley con artist. Years later, Raya goes on a quest to find both Sisu (Awkafina) and the fragments of the stone, trying to bring her people back together and fulfill her father’s vision of loyalty. That stone resides with Benja and Raya’s people when the film begins, but the other clans of the now-divided world steal it, break it into pieces, and scatter it across the land. She sacrificed herself in the process, although rumors persist that she survived.
As a villainous force was working its way across the land, turning people into stone, magical dragons united their forces together into a stone and one named Sisu used it to stop the pending apocalypse. Even if it were, there's nothing to suggest that they would follow the customs of that area as it is today.Raya ( Kelly Marie Tran) has long heard the stories of the last dragon from her father Benja ( Daniel Dae Kim). Though this would, of course, assume that Kumandra is in what is known today as South East Asia. So Raya would call Tong "Uncle Tong", Boun would call Raya "Sister Raya", and Raya would address deity-ish Sisu as "Master Sisu" or "Lady Sisu". In Asian cultures usually you would address people using familial relationship: you would call a person who is around your age or slightly older than you with "brother/sister", person who is in the range of your parent's age with "uncle/auntie", person who is older than that with "grandpa/granny", and revered/high status/deity figure with something like "master/lord/lady".
In South East Asian cultures in particular and Asian cultures in general, it's considered very rude to address people who are older or in higher status than you with only their names, such as when Raya calls Tong or Boun calls Raya or Raya calls Sisu (a deity-like figure) with their names only.
