The Forest Guard
Mejda is the boat pilot who the forest guard insists that Piya hire. He initially piques her interest because he asks if the dolphins on her flashcards are birds, but soon proves dangerous and predatory—he regularly makes obscene gestures at Piya and refuses to listen to where she wants to go. He and the guard put up very little objection when Piya decides to leave with Fokir rather than return to Mejda's boat.
