The actress explains why she doesn’t think Dina and this mystery girl are the same character.
She yells at this girl, who promptly skitters off.
The unnamed character, played by Paolina Van Kleef, is credited as “the Staring Girl.”

ShowrunnersCraig Mazinand Neil Druckmann haven’t definitively answered this lingering question, and now Merced herself weighs in.
“I did see that,” Merced tellsEntertainment Weekly.
“And her outfit looks very similar to Dina’s.

I haven’t actually had the opportunity to ask Craig.”
Dina would be like, ‘Who are you?'"
“I don’t think she would be scared of Ellie….
I don’t think Dina would run away, scared with her tail between her legs.”
So there are options.
Perhaps the Staring Girl is just that, a staring girl.
The story picks up five years after the season 1 finale.
Joel and Ellie have a strained relationship, but they live a relatively peaceful life in the Jackson community.
“It’s amazing, and she didn’t have to do that.”
