After getting through the booby traps, Raya finds herself facing an adversary guarding the Gem. The people of Kumandra sought the Gem’s power, leading to them splitting into five separate clans – Tail, Talon, Fang, Spine, and Heart.Ĭenturies later, a young Raya is with Tuk Tuk entering the temple where the Heart clan (which she is part of) is keeping the Dragon Gem. The dragons used their magic to create the Dragon Gem, entrusting it to their young sibling Sisu (Awkwafina), who used the Gem to vanquish the Druun and seal them away, but all the other dragons turned to stone and did not return when the humans did. Soon, sinister spirits known as the Druun came alive, causing people to turn to stone and growing stronger with each person they consume.

There even lived dragons with magic powers among the people. She explains through narration that 500 years earlier, the land was once known as Kumandra, which was prosperous and thriving.


The film opens as Raya (Kelly Marie Tran) is riding her giant pet Tuk Tuk (Alan Tudyk) through a desert wasteland.
