Nani Pelekai

Nani Pelekai is the older adoptive sister and legal guardian of Kai Pelekai.

Appearance
Nani is a beautiful young teenager; strongly built though fairly slender, with olive skin, black hair that reaches a little past her shoulders and brown eyes.

Personality
Nani is a kind, mature, and caring individual. Unfortunately, as a result of her busy job and the stress of taking care of and providing for her ohana, she tends to be fairly temperamental and sarcastic with everyone. Kai at one point refers to her wrath as scarier than any villain he's faced. While this is usually reasonable, considering how Lilo and Stitch tend to disobey rules and get into trouble, at times her temper gets the better of her. When she really stressed and angry, she tends to uncharacteristically snap at Lilo or Kai, only to regret it when they're not in sight. Nonetheless, she is protective of her family, particularly Lilo, and will attack anyone and defend them from any threat. She loves Lilo and Kai more than anyone or anything in the world and does all she can to keep them from harm. She is kind and hardworking, and she proves that while she is somewhat irritable, she can also be compassionate and understanding as she usually forgives Lilo and Stitch for their antics. Just like her adoptive brother and baby sister, she loves and misses her parents very much and is usually depressed on the anniversary of the day they died.

She is very mature and wise for someone her age and the voice of reason, possibly as a result of losing her parents, having to grow up and be independent at such a young age, as she is shown to teach Lilo important life lessons, such as taking responsibility for her actions, not making fun of people based on their appearances, and having friends like you for who you are, not your appearances.
