According to reports, Michelle Mao will portray Yara, while Kyriana Kratter takes on the role of Lev. Both characters are integral to the Seraphites, a faction that plays a vital role in the unfolding narrative.

In the original game by Naughty Dog, Lev is a crucial character, serving as Abby’s companion during some of the most intense moments.
