Princess Lani

here let me helpPrincess Lei-Lani (simply known as Lani) is a native princess who appears in the Sofia the First episode "The Emerald Key". She is voiced by Abigail Mavity.

Background
Lani is the princess of the tropical island Kingdom of Hakalo.

While heading home on a stormy sea, an evil sorceress known as Mamanu tried to steal the Emerald Key. She tried to stop her, but the two fell overboard and Lani washed up on the shores of Enchancia. She showed up at the castle, claiming that she was the owner of the Key when Mamanu, disguised as a princess claiming to be the owner, showed up as well. In order to determine who the real princess was, both girls were challenged to a series of tests.

As Lani was not a typical type of princess, she did things a lot differently than a graceful and elegant princess that is commonly seen. She does native dancing, and has a fondness for all animals.

Mamanu succeeded in claiming the Emerald Key only because she cheated by making Lani sleepless the night before. When the Royal Family found this out, they went after her. With help from Sofia's animal friends, they were able to corner Mamanu and Lani was able to get the Key back moments before she disappeared.

Lani was soon reunited with her parents and bid her new friends farewell before heading home.
