Though the villagers were ticked off by Heihei’s stupidity and wanted to eat him, Moana believed there was more to Heihei and convinced her people to keep him around. Though she was dumbfounded with Heihei’s unintelligence like the villagers of Motunui, Moana was patient with the chicken and never got angry with him. Moana blows her conch shell from atop Motufetu, and soon, her call is answered as other rafts begin to arrive from various directions. Maui compliments Moana’s tattoos by saying “my tattoos are still cooler than yours”. As they blow their conch shells in reply, it allows Moana to meet with the other islanders reconnected by Motufetu’s return.

While Moana distracts Tamatoa, Maui retrieves his hook, only to find himself unable to control his shape-shifting. He is overpowered by Tamatoa, but Moana’s quick thinking allows them to escape with the hook. Maui reveals his first tattoo was earned when his human parents abandoned him as an infant, and the gods, taking pity on him, granted him his powers. After reassurance from Moana, Maui teaches her the art of way-finding, regaining control of his powers, and the two grow closer.

After being adopted by the gods, he became a hero and protected mankind, in hopes of earning the love his parents denied him. Maui admits that he feels worthless without his hook, but Moana sees a true hero in the demigod, regardless of his magical attributes. This resonates with Maui and gives him the courage to train in order to recover his power, under the guidance of Moana and Mini Maui (Maui’s sentient tattoo). Maui continues Moana’s mentoring in wayfinding, eventually turning her into a master navigator on par with her ancestors, though Maui contends that she may have surpassed them. Born on the island village of Motunui, Moana is the eldest daughter of Tui Moana and Sina, granddaughter of Tala, and the older sister of Simea, with an inherited love for the seas and voyaging.
