Maui

From Disney’s “Moana.” Maui is a vain, boisterous, mischievous demigod of South Pacific legend who predominately serves as a guardian of mankind. Along with his immortality and superhuman strength, Maui is equipped with a giant fish hook which grants him such magical abilities as shapeshifting. Tales surrounding Maui’s exploits and accomplishments have been embedded into mythologies across Polynesia, and enshrined as animated tattoos tapestried across the demigod’s skin. Maui was born to human parent who threw him into the sea as a baby. He was saved by the gods, who raised Maui, granting him his supernatural abilities. Although loved by humans and gods alike, Maui always felt the rejection of his parents. He uses his powers as a means to earn the love and validation from mankind that he was denied by his parents.
