Characters
-
- Moana – a strong, confident young woman and the future Chief of Motunui who is deeply connected to her island as well as the ocean and is curious about what lies beyond the reef; empowered and driven, Moana will stop at nothing to save her people
- Chief Tui– Moana’s father and leader of Motunui who is protective of his daughter and his people, always wanting to keep them safe
- Sina – Moana’s kind and loving mother who takes great pride in her daughter
- Pua – One of Moana’s best friends, who is sweet and unconditionally loyal, even if easily scared
- Hei Hei – Moana’s other best friend, who is well meaning but no so bright
- Gramma Tala – the wise and eccentric grandmother of Moana and mother of Chief Tui; she holds her role as Motunui’s storyteller with pride, passing on the stories of the island’s past
- Maui – the comedic, selfish, and sarcastic demigod of the wind and sea, who actually has a heart of gold
- Tomatoa – a gigantic crab and collector of all things “shiny”, who is dangerously egotistical and dramatic
- Left Claw and Right Claw – Tatmatoa’s crony like claws who act as extensions of the crab’s self-centered and ostentatious nature
- Te Fiti – the regal and benevolent mother island, creator of all life; without her hear she appears as TE KA, a demon of earth and fire
- Ensemble
- Ancestor Ensemble – the ancient people of Motunui;
- Ocean Ensemble – a personification of the ocean and friend of Moana; Villagers of Motunui, including Dancers, Weavers, and Fishers;
- Maui Ensemble – conjured fans of the demigod, always ready to sing Maui’s praises;
