Karna — One of the Main Protagonists

Karna is one of the main protagonists of The Archer’s Journey. He is the younger brother of Kunti, a playful and ambitious village boy who dreams of leaving his life as a farmhand and becoming a great archer.


After being rejected by Dronacharya, Karna becomes even more determined to prove himself. His encounter with Princess Elyssa and the discovery of their matching birthmarks strengthens his belief that he is meant for something beyond the Village of the Golden Sun.


Karna’s determination ultimately pushes the brothers to leave home and begin their journey toward the Mountains of Leicarres.


Puppet Introduction: This virtual puppet recreates Karna as an articulated character with a body, separate upper arms, and separate lower arms.
