Araluen (character)

Araluen
Cleverman character
Portrayed by Tasma Walton

Araluen is a fictional character in Cleverman, portrayed by Tasma Walton. Araluen is a proud hairy woman with a strong survival instinct; she learns that she is prepared to do whatever it takes to care for her children.

Araluen is beautiful, fierce, earthly. She is warm-hearted and protective of her own, so protective, in fact, that she and her husband Boondee shave down, and insist that their children Djukara, Latani and Jirra follow suit. In this way they can appear human, blend in, become anonymous. Because with anonymity, comes safety. And with safety, comes peace. Boondee and Araluen believe that if they manage to lie low they will outlast the crisis facing their people.

Their children – especially Djukara – don't quite feel the same way. It’s this faith in an eventual end to the madness that gives Araluen hope.
