| “ | How spicy would you like it? Hot, hotter, or Boun goes the dynamite!" - Boun | „ |
Boun is the tritagonist in Raya and the Last Dragon. He is a street-savvy entrepreneur and the owner of a boat restaurant, the Shrimporium. He is a 10-year old boy from the deserts of Kumandra’s Tail Land, where he grew up alongside his family.
Background[]
Personality[]
Boun is a fast-talking, hyperactive salesman frequently on the hunt for potential customers. He enjoys cooking and food, hence his career choice. Confident and self-assured, Boun shows great pride in his craft; he promises that his meals are good enough to create happiness. All the same, Boun doesn’t take kindly to criticism regarding his cooking, taking offense to Tong’s intolerance for Boun’s spices.
Nearly as much as cooking, Boun enjoys money. Though he initially appears devoted to strict company policies (such as not offering rides on the Shrimporium), he can be convinced with enough jade currency. He is nevertheless an honest businessman, and never attempts to swindle his customers for their valuables (despite Raya's initial suspicions that he would).
Boun is knowledgeable for his age, particularly in terms of business-related practices. He is also fairly well-versed in Kumandra’s history; he resented the Fang land for their treacherous attempt to steal the Dragon Gem, which ultimately led to the Druun's invasion. As seen towards the end of the film, Boun is reunited with his family, sailing towards them in his restaurant boat after the Druun got destroyed.
