However, unlike typical Chinese dragons, she lacks long barbels. Her teeth, feet and claws are similar to that of a tiger which is a trait from Chinese mythology. Her head is similar to the mane of a lion while her body has dorsal fins and is covered in fish-like scales. Her form is made up of multiple elements of other animals. Similar to depictions of dragons in China, Sisu's body is snake-like and slender. She was inspired by the Southeast Asian dragons known as the Nāga which were tied to the element of water. Unlike most dragons from Disney films, Sisu does not have wings and a bulky body.
The directors described Sisu as "funny self-deprecating". Logam was encouraged to add a lot of physicality to Sisu's movement. Story artist Luis Logam stated the directors want Sisu to "completely throw Raya off guard and out of her comfort zone" during their first meeting. Estrada said she improvised many of the scenes and "brought to life in a way that was very exciting to watch." Design and personality Director Don Hall stated he could not imagine somebody other than Awkwafina as Sisu. She brings all those three things together in some magical potion." Director Carlos López Estrada called her something "amazing" in the film due to her ability to perform both comedy and drama. But Awkwafina fit the dragon that we were looking for- some combination of wisdom and emotion and humor. Shurer explained: "When we met Awkwafina, we knew, first of all, that she's an incredible actress with a wide range, and with a very professional and disciplined approach to acting. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Disney sent her an audio production tent for her home recording acoustics. Sisu has received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised her design, sense of forgiveness, self-deprecating comedy, and contribution to the message.ĭevelopment Origins and conception Sisu and Raya travel across Kumandra to find the gem pieces, making new friends along the way, and learning the importance of trust. Humanity later fought over the gem and broke it, leading to Princess of Heart Raya seeking her help to banish the Druun again. To get rid of the Druun, monsters who once threatened Kumandra, Sisu compressed her magic into a gem. Inspired by the Nāga from Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, she is depicted as the last dragon in the land of Kumandra. Created by screenwriter Adele Lim, she is voiced by American actress and rapper Awkwafina. Sisudatu, also known by her nickname Sisu, is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 59th animated feature Raya and the Last Dragon (2021).
