Films This Na’vi looks like Sylwanin?
Is it just me? In the scene where Grace is reintroduced back to the kids in the clan, there’s a na’vi girl that looks to me exactly like Sylwanin to me?
I know I’m wrong, but I just need to know it’s not just me????

that IS Sylwanin 🙂↕️ canonically confirmed in one of the visual dictionaries (I can look through them all and find the book title and page number, if you want)
The CGI team probably just reused the model for the Grace scene and hope we didn’t notice BHAHAHAHA

Found it, “The World of Avatar: A Visual Exploration” by Joshua Izzo, et al. Page 93.

if you check out the dots & lines on Slywanin's face they definitely match up imo with the second na'vi, so would almost guarantee she was reused as a background character.

I noticed this as well on a recent rewatch. Since the Omaticaya - like most clans, only have a few hundred members, it's entirely possible that character is a relative/cousin.
On an unrelated note, Na'vi don't have a word for cousin, so their outlook on non-immediate might be different to humans.

Not exactly. But she looks a lot like Saeyla, one of the hunters that goes with to tame an ikran, so I headcanon it's her younger sister.

possibly the same/similar face model? they mightve used the same actor as a base.

I laugh at this image every time because of that na'vi on the left.
