Introduction To Seyka
Aloy will meet a new companion named Seyka in Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores. Aloy has been struggling to get connected to the people. But Horizon Forbidden West has taught her to get connected to the people to save them.
On the one hand, Seyka is a whole new character. On the other hand, she matches Aloy to some extent. The character gets played by Kylie Riya Page and directed by the cinematics director, Ismael Aurray. However, Kylie is new to the environment.
Seyka is the Queen of her tribe and a badass woman warrior who matches Aloy’s strength. For Aloy, it is not only the mission. Instead, it is something that goes with herself. With every new challenge, she gets to know herself more. Seyka gets mixed with people, and Aloy is a lone ranger.
The team chose Kylie as Seyka for her independence, madness for the role, and emotional vulnerability. She is an inspiration for her family, tribe, and the world.
