Editing The Dark Crystal (section)

====Jen and Kira====
Jen is the main protagonist of the original movie. You can also call him Gelfling Jesus. Jen is a caring, loving and a "bordering-the-strange-valley"-ing character. He couldn't hurt a fly, and as matter of fact, he never harmed anyone. Ever. Not even the genocidal maniacs who killed his parents. (SkekSil's hand might disagree...) Jen, taking the Gelfling tradition of being naive as all hell, is absolutely clueless about Thra, learning most of what he knows from his Master, UrSu, the Mystic counterpart of SkekSo. Unfortunately, he forgot to tell him about the Crystal, until just before he dies using [[Star_Trek#Deep_Space_Nine|a changeling in a bowl]]. 

Jen is essentially the one character that guides the audience in the world of Thra, or rather, discovers the world with them. He isn't clueless because he's naive, but because narratively speaking, having a know-it-all character serving as your main guide in a completely alien world isn't the best thing to have. Imagine if Frodo was capable of lore-dumping on any character present in the Lord of the Rings.

Kira, on the other hand, is a crafty Gelfling girl [[Disney|who is friends with all the animals of Thra]]. Although she is incredibly frail and quite sensitive, she's more fit for adventuring and questing than her male counterpart. Unlike Jen, however, she was raised by Podlings and somehow learned how to speak their language and to talk with animals. 

What's remarkable about these two is that they become the ones to "replenish Thra with Gelflings" and soon after become their king and queen. Now how did they achieve that? Good question.
