[edit] Chani
[edit] Harah
Harah is the wife of Jamis in Dune; when Paul Atreides kills Jamis in a ritual fight to the death, he is faced with the Fremen custom of taking responsibility for Harah and her children, as his wife or servant. He takes her as his servant; she later becomes fiercely devoted to and protective of Paul's young sister Alia. Harah notices that four-year-old Alia "only pretends to be a little girl, that she has never been a little girl." [1] She tells the pre-born Alia "You're not a freak!"[1] and insists that the girl not call herself that. Harah then seeks to explain Alia's unique nature to the superstitious and wary Fremen. She acts as caretaker to Paul and Chani's first son, Leto, and later becomes one of Stilgar's wives.
In Dune Messiah, Paul refers to Harah as "Stilgar's wife and Chani's closest feminine friend." Harah objects when Paul chooses to name his daughter Ghanima (meaning "spoil of war"), saying that it is "an ill-omened name." [2] Paul responds, "It saved your life ... What matter that Alia made fun of you with that name? My daughter is Ghanima, a spoil of war." [2]
In Children of Dune, Harah remains devoted to Ghanima and her twin, Leto II; she accompanies Stilgar into the desert as he helps Ghanima and Princess Irulan escape Alia's tyranny.
Harah was played by Molly Wryn in the 1984 film Dune, though she only appears in the Alan Smithee Version. The character does not appear in the 2000 TV miniseries Frank Herbert's Dune, however in the miniseries, when young Alia comments to her mother Lady Jessica that she is aware that people call her a "freak," it is Jessica who admonishes her not to say such things.
[edit] Jamis
Jamis is a Fremen man in Dune who challenges newcomer Paul to a ritual fight to the death; Paul kills Jamis, proving himself to the Fremen for the first time. As is Fremen custom, Paul takes responsibility for Jamis' wife Harah (and their children) by making her his servant.
Jamis was played by Judd Omen in the 1984 film Dune, though he only appears in the Alan Smithee Version. The character was played by Christopher Lee Browne in the 2000 TV miniseries Frank Herbert's Dune.
[edit] Korba
[edit] Lichna
Lichna is the daughter of Paul's trusted Fedaykin Otheym. In Dune Messiah, the Tleilaxu Face Dancer Scytale kills and impersonates Lichna in an attempt to infiltrate Paul's household and murder his children. Paul sees through the ruse, but allows it to play out.
Lichna was portrayed by Klára Issová in the 2003 TV miniseries Frank Herbert's Children of Dune (an adaptation of the novels Dune Messiah and Children of Dune).
[edit] Liet-Kynes
[edit] Otheym
Otheym is a Fedaykin who fights at Paul's side during his war with the Harkonnens in Dune; later, in Dune Messiah, the Tleilaxu Face Dancer Scytale kills and impersonates Otheym's daughter Lichna in an attempt to infiltrate Paul's household and murder his children.
Otheym was portrayed by Honorato Magaloni in the 1984 film Dune, and by Jakob Schwarz in the 2000 TV miniseries Frank Herbert's Dune (and its 2003 sequel, Children of Dune, an adaptation of the novels Dune Messiah and Children of Dune).
[edit] Pardot Kynes
[edit] Ramallo
[edit] Shadout Mapes
Shadout Mapes is introduced in Dune as the mysterious Fremen housekeeper at the palace of Arrakeen. Paul saves her life from a deadly hunter-seeker intended to kill him, and she warns of a traitor in the Atreides household. She is killed by that same traitor before the Harkonnen attack on House Atreides.
Mapes was portrayed by Linda Hunt in the 1984 film Dune, and by Jaroslava Siktancova in the 2000 TV miniseries Frank Herbert's Dune.
