Frey, played by actress Ella Balinska, is a streetwise young woman plucked from the streets of New York and dropped into the fantasy land of Athia. Her story, formerly known as Project Athia, is now called Forspoken, and boasts serious talent in addition to that of its lead actress.
Upon arriving in Athia, Frey befriends an item of sentient jewellery known simply as Cuff. Voiced by Jonathan Cake, Cuff offers sassy remarks alongside helpful advice, and bestows a slew of magical abilities upon Frey. If she wants to see New York again, she’s going to need all the help she can get as the return trip home comes at the cost of defeating the Tantas, a group of powerful matriarchs. Of this group only Tanta Sila, as played by Janina Gavankar, has been fully revealed. Once a powerful protector of Athia, Sila has been twisted into a tyrant.
