Character Relationships in The Rocket

Ahlo (played by Sitthiphon Disamoe) is a protagonist in The Rocket. Ahlo is the surviving twin at the center of the story, raised under the belief that he is cursed. After his mother Mali dies during the family's relocation, he befriends Kia and Purple, builds a rocket from war debris, and enters the festival to win money for a new home and prove that he is not doomed. Kia (played by Loungnam Kaosainam) is a protagonist in The Rocket. Kia is a girl who befriends Ahlo after losing her family and living with her uncle Purple. She shows Ahlo land where he can grow mangoes, shares his journey away from the village, supports his rocket plans, and helps him return when Toma launches The Bat. Purple (played by Suthep Pongam) appears in The Rocket. Purple is Kia's uncle and a former soldier who lives with her after her family dies. He shelters Ahlo and his family, helps Ahlo build The Bat, and teaches him how to use bat droppings as rocket fuel. His practical knowledge and unconventional advice make the rocket competition possible. Taitok (played by Boonsri Yindee) appears in The Rocket. Taitok is Toma's mother and a strict believer in the tradition that one twin must die because twins are divided between blessing and curse. She helps conceal Ahlo's survival, later exposes the secret to Toma, distrusts the new village, and tries to stop Ahlo's rocket from being launched. Toma (played by Sumrit Warin) appears in The Rocket. Toma is Ahlo's father and Mali's husband, whose family is forced to relocate when the valley is threatened by flooding. He initially rejects Ahlo's friendships and rocket ambitions because he fears bad luck, but eventually launches The Bat himself and helps Ahlo achieve his victory. Mali (played by Alice Keohavong) appears in The Rocket. Mali is Ahlo's mother and Toma's wife. After giving birth to twins, she refuses to follow Taitok's demand that the surviving child be killed and secretly protects Ahlo. During the family's forced relocation, a runaway boat strikes and kills her, deeply affecting Ahlo and the rest of the family.
