MaReya Dalton

MaReya Dalton is a minor character in the series The Boy from the Bunker and is portrayed by Hailee Steinfeld in the books. She is one of the 18 members of Bunker Clan and when her Bunker is evacuated, she ends up separated from her brother and father - who was killed in the raid.

MaReya is the first-born child of Junius Dalton and the older sister of Fabian Dalton. Her mother died from complications when giving birth to her brother.

 Season 1 

When her Bunker is evacuated, MaReya is taken into Basilisk along with several other survivors from her family. She soon learns that her brother is being held prisoner in Basilisk' enemy clan, Blood Riders, and that her father was killed during the Bunker's evacuation. When Ares is presumed dead after sneaking out of camp one evening with Wynn, she works with Wynn and the rest of her family to figure out a way to break their friends out of Blood Riders and find a place they can all be together.

 Season 2 

After the terrible amount of losses MaReya and the rest of her family have faced in their short period on the ground, they return to the Bunker for 5 months where they process their grief and adjust to a brutal, unforgiving world filled with so many absences. After Nobel Sovereign Sol Riverly approaches Wynn and offers them to move into Basilisk, they take up her offer only to arrive at Basilisk and learn that she is missing and suspected to have been killed. When Sol's father Eyrx Riverly - who has taken over her position as Nobel - announces the people of Bunker Clan as prime suspects in her death, MaReya is forced into hiding in Joren's annex beneath the Sovereigns' Quarters along with her brother Fabian, Elara and Harlow whilst Wynn leads a search team to find Sol and bring her home. When Wynn's attempts prove successful, Sol is welcomed back to her people with thunderous applause and announces MaReya and the rest of Bunker Clan as members of Basilisk.

 Season 3 

When a war is announced against Basilisk, MaReya seeks shelter in Joren's annex along with her brother and Harlow. She faces the threat of losing her close friend and cousin-figure Elara Bell as she is captured by Kane Bell and Rhea Forest and put through various trials that push her to the verge of death. She also has to face her former best friend Lyra when she is brought into Basilisk in the hopes of being forgiven after betraying everyone from Bunker Clan and killing Martha.

 Season 4 

Despite Elara being rescued by her brothers and brought back into the protection of Basilisk, her family still faces the constant threat of Kane Bell, Rhea, and the rest of The City of Targo trying to steal Elara away from them. When their attempts continue to fail, The City of Targo resort to attacking Basilisk by bombing the Sovereigns' Quarters and shooting their defences. During the time of the attack, MaReya was talking with her brother, Fabian, in her tent which was located near to the exploded, back wall of the Sovereigns' Quarters. She was found in the wreckage by Wynn and Bas after being killed by debris in the explosion and dying alongside her brother. She was honoured in death by being remembered in the Burning Ceremony where her body was set alight alongside Fabian and Ares - who was killed several days after her.

 After Death 

MaReya was honoured alongside her brother Fabian and Ares in Basilisk's Burning Ceremony where her body was wrapped in sheets and decorated with leaves and flowers before being set alight in a fire that was kept alive for 3 days. She was also honoured by a headstone outside of the Bunker's entrance by Wynn where he and the surviving members of Bunker Clan often come to 'visit' and reminisce about memories of them.
