Te Fiti

Background

Te Fiti is a major character in Disney's 2016 animated feature film Moana. She is able to create life—an ability used to create the islands of Polynesia. After her heart had been stolen by Maui, she became Te Kā, a demon of earth and fire. With Te Kā in her place, the islands that Te Fiti created are slowly consumed by a life-killing darkness.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Te Fiti's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Te Fiti is first seen in traditional animation during Gramma Tala's opening story. She tells the surrounding children about the day in which Maui stole Te Fiti's heart, and warns that it must be restored before humanity faces a slow and painful death at the hands of the lava demon Te Kā. Shortly afterward, the Ocean selects Tala's granddaughter, Moana, as the heroine capable of saving the world. Years later, Moana journeys with Maui to Te Fiti's island, which has been covered entirely by molten rock. Te Kā acts as a demonic guardian and prevents anyone from approaching Te Fiti's shores. Fortunately, Moana manages to do so, but she finds that Te Fiti is nowhere to be found. She looks to Te Kā and notices a spiral on the lava goddess' chest, indicating that she is actually Te Fiti. Moana sings "Know Who You Are" to Te Kā, which in turn reforms the beast as she at long last finds a measure of peace in Moana's words. Moana gently rests her forehead on the bridge of Te Kā's face before placing the heart back into her chest. Te Kā's lava skin turns to molten rock and crumbles away, releasing Te Fiti from her age-long torment. Te Fiti silently restores her island and undoes the damage caused by Te Kā across the world, as well as Moana's boat. Maui bashfully tries to joke with Te Fiti, but the goddess is not amused. He then apologizes in a formal manner, confessing that he has no excuse, which earns Te Fiti's forgiveness. As a reward for helping Moana restore the heart, Te Fiti recreates Maui's fishhook, which had been previously destroyed by Te Kā. She then bids farewell to Moana and lays herself down to rest as the heroine returns home

Te Fiti is thousands of years old. If she were to die, she would possibly turn into a spirit like Moana's grandmother.

Intelligence: At least Genius (Te Fiti is thousands of years old, meaning she should be much smarter than charathers such as Maui | At least Genius (Despite Te kã being much more violent than Te Fiti, she should not be any dumber)

Standard Tactics:

Te Fiti never fought anyone before, making her a wild card

Te Kã passively brings up a storm before trying to physically attack you or throw lava balls at you

Weaknesses: If her heart is removed, Te-Fiti will revert into Te-Kā | Due to her lava-based physiology, Te-Kā will harden into rock if exposed to large quantities of water (She however can reignite her body in seconds if this happens)

Note: It should be noted that the reincarnation cycle is not usable in combat due to it taking days. Also, while Te Fiti never displayed these powers herself, she still is a living being so it would make sense that same thing would happen to her if she died.
