Who is Moana in the movie Moana?
Moana is the lively, vibrant, and strong daughter of the Chief of Motunui. She lives with her family and other villagers on the island of Motunui. Moana has always been drawn to the ocean and seeks to travel beyond the reef, something which has been forbidden through ages in Motunui.

Why does Moana leave her island?
Moana was chosen by the ocean to give Te Fiti back the once-stolen heart. In order to prepare Moana for her position as the island's chief, her parents, Tui and Sina, try to keep her away from the ocean.
After sixteen years, the island gets affected by blight, which decreases the amount of fish and kills the vegetation. Tala, Moana’s grandmother, says that although Te Kā's darkness is killing the island, it can be cured if Moana finds Maui and asks him to restore Te Fiti's heart. Moana receives the heart from Tala, who received it from the ocean. After getting gravely ill, Tala urges Moana to locate Maui and return Te Fiti's heart. From the caves, Moana and her dimwitted pet rooster, Heihei, board a camakau and set sail to locate Maui to restore the heart of Te Fiti.
Moana’s personality
In Grandmother Tala's words, Moana "stands out from the crowd". She loves the ocean, is strong-willed, independent, almost fearless, and physically fit. Despite her momentary self-doubts, she takes pride in her identity and is often too stubborn to back down from new challenges. Because of her deep empathy and compassion, Moana is willing to risk her life to accomplish what she sincerely feels is the greater good.
She takes new tasks and experiences very seriously, and even when it looks like everything is lost, she will not back away from a fight for what she believes in. Even as a child, Moana showed bravery and a desire to leave home and sail beyond the reef to experience new adventures. In addition, she is sympathetic and seeks to better herself by first comprehending and helping others.
Moana learned more about herself as a result of her experiences. She found out that no one but herself can define who you are; she did not intend to be committed just to the sea or to her people, but rather to herself.
