![]() Her entire body appears to be made of the land itself, with a flowing "dress" made of plants and flora. Her body is covered in lush flora and trees clusters of flowers adorn her grassy hair similar to a headdress. The colossal Te Fiti takes the form of a feminine figure with a human face not unlike Moana's. Te Fiti, as well as her Te Kā aspect, is an enormous embodiment of the earth, but her appearance differs between the two forms. Should someone call to it, as Moana did during the climax, she will slowly ease her tension and succumb to her inner, gentle nature. As she guards Te Fiti's fallen shores with a spiteful scowl, Te Kā looks to destroy anyone who dares cross her path, and will relentlessly pursue her target until they either depart, or face a bitter end.ĭespite this, Te Fiti's purity lies deep within Te Kā. Te Kā and Te Fiti are, in a sense, polar opposites, with differing goals and ideals while Te Fiti wishes to spread life and beauty, Te Kā seeks to bring death and corruption. The theft of her heart had stripped her of Te Fiti's benevolence, replacing it with malice aimed at both Maui and the world at large. While Te Fiti is a largely compassionate entity, Te Kā is - quite literally - a heartless creature with a fiery disposition. Though she will not hide her displeasure in those who wrong her, she is forgiving should the individual in question look to redeem themselves. ![]() Moving with gentle grace, often seen with a tranquil expression to match her radiant features, Te Fiti is selflessness and purity incarnate. She values nature and the beauty that comes alongside it. Te Fiti's sole purpose is to spread life across the ocean. According to legend, only the restoration of Te Fiti's heart could end the blight. Meanwhile, with Te Fiti now a dark entity, a devastating curse would slowly begin to spread across the world, destroying flora and fauna, making it impossible for humanity to survive. Their battle resulted in the loss of the heart, and as punishment for his crimes, Te Kā banished Maui to a desolate spit of land in the middle of the open ocean, where he would be doomed to remain stranded for eternity. As a result of its removal, the island fell into darkness, and the physical entity of Te Fiti morphed into a demonic shell of her former self: Te Kā.Īs Maui made a hasty escape on his boat, a vengeful Te Kā rose from her slumber and confronted him. Using his shapeshifting abilities, Maui found Te Fiti's spiral and stole the heart. Only the mischievous and highly-regarded Maui was daring enough to invade Te Fiti's shores in hopes of giving her heart to mortals as a gift. Villains such as the giant crab Tamatoa and the bloodthirsty Kakamora pirates all sought the heart for their own nefarious purposes and self-interests. Over time, Te Fiti's heart became a much-desired treasure. Following her vast creation, Te Fiti laid herself to rest and formed her body into an island. Te Fiti used her life-giving heart to spread the gift of life across the world, creating multiple islands inhabited by flora, fauna, and humans. Te Fiti was the first entity to appear in the world inhabited only by the ocean.
