Free-spirited solo traveler, confident and comfortable in her own skin. Willa can move effortlessly between tomboyish, bare-faced ruggedness on the trail and glamorous femininity on a night out.

Silent, stoic K'iche' Maya warrior-king, distinguished by an iconic black handprint painted over his mouth. He speaks without words, commanding others through hand signals and his powerful gaze. Maya ancestry preferred. Scene Content: Firelit close-up; character makeup/body paint; no dialogue.
