However, inDune: ProphecyValya rarely uses the Voice.
Valya has a more complex and ambitious nature, making her an interesting vessel for this power.
In Season 1, Episode 3, Valya appears in a flashback sequence.
Set in the universe of Frank Herbert’s Dune series, this sci-fi epic follows the political and spiritual struggles on the desert planet of Arrakis. As factions vie for control of the prized spice melange, a prophesied hero emerges, challenging the balance of power and the fate of the galaxy.
We learn about her difficult life on her icy home planet.
Whether Valya understood the full scope of her powers is debatable.
Most Harkonnens want nothing to do with the blood fued between theAtreides and the Harkonnens.
These aspects, combined with generational trauma, potentially fuel the dangerous super ability.
Lila and Paul Atreides have two very different experiences.
Valya’s desire for strength both politically and supernaturally is obvious.

However, she knows she won’t be able to achieve these goals on her own.
She shared her abilities with Francesca (Charithra Chandran)and Kasha (Yerin Ha).
These women were her allies in the Sisterhood and even idolized Valya to some degree.
The terms in which she befriends people are unusual.
She doesn’t have average friendships.
Instead, she makes followers.She uses the Voice to force Kasha to slap Francesca to showcase her ability.
Valya’s increased influence within the Sisterhood allows her to use the Voice on political figures.
In recent years, what happened to Francesca has not been shown.
However, Kasha became the Emperor’s Truthsayer.
While this superhuman weapon seems nearly invincible, the Voice isn’t impossible to resist.
This was proven by Desmond Hart (Travis Fimmel), as he could resist Valya.
This unique immunity is thanks to the powers Desmond was gifted on Arrakis.
