Maui

"Do you know who Maui is? Only the greatest demigod in all the pacific islands!"

- Maui to Moana Maui is the deuteragonist of Disney's upcoming 2016 animated feature film, Moana.

Background
Maui is a demigod of South Pacific legend. Born a human, and raised by gods, Maui is equipped with shapeshifting abilities and a giant, magical fish hook. He also has multiple tattoos across his body, which are animated and move about his skin. Despite his status, Maui finds himself torn between the worlds of humanity and deity, feeling "stuck in the middle". Nevertheless, he finds enjoyment in showcasing his godlike abilities to others.

In the past, Maui was amongst the most acclaimed figures of Oceania history. However, he is notably responsible for the crises that threatens the island of Motunui and its inhabitants. His actions rendered him a fallen hero, and it is Moana who enlists the demigod in righting the wrongs he's committed, in spite of his reluctance to take responsibility.
