Dina is a new character in The Last of Us universe, but that doesn’t make her any less important than series’ mainstays like Joel and Ellie.

Dina is brought to life by Shannon Woodward, who many may recognize as Elsie Hughes from Westworld, or even from her time as Sabrina on Raising hope.

Change, an actor known for his appearances in Artificial and other smaller television shows and projects.
