![]() As a result of this, the island was quickly consumed by darkness, while Te Fiti's physical form morphed into that of the deadly and powerful Te Kā.Īs Maui tried to escape on his boat, Te Kā rose from her cloud and attacked the demigod. However, one day, Te Fiti's heart was stolen by the demigod Maui in a misguided act of heroism. She then placed herself into an eternal slumber, with her body forming into an island. Te Kā first appears in Gramma Tala's story, where it is revealed that she was once the island goddess named Te Fiti, who created all islands on the ocean with her heart, who had the ability to create life.

Always surrounding her slender form is a dense pyrocumulus cloud, coupled with bolts of lightning and volcanic ash. Massive in size, Te Kā towers above all who encounter her and is usually depicted with a hollow scowl. Should someone call to this aspect, as Moana does during the climax, she will slowly ease her tension and succumb to her inner gentle nature. As it was Maui who was responsible for the theft of Te Fiti's heart (and not mankind as a whole, thus making them innocent), Te Kā can be painted as a vindictive entity.ĭespite this, Te Fiti's purity lies deep within Te Kā. Te Kā and Te Fiti are polar opposites with differing goals and ideals while Te Fiti wishes to spread life and beauty, Te Kā seeks to bring death and corruption, purely out of the belief that mankind is undeserving of the gifts brought to them by Te Fiti. The theft of her heart has stripped her of Te Fiti's benevolence, replacing it with malice aimed at both Maui and the world at large. ![]() Te Kā is quite literally a heartless and destructive creature with a fiery disposition. ![]()
