Kaikala [Left] : Kaikala was Makani’s mother.She doesn’t seem to have much knowledge about what exactly happened to her husband.He disappeared right before Makani’s birth.She assumed that he simply got “lost” while lurking around the island despite her daughter’s firm belief that he left them, plain and simple.Kaikala refuses to believe that her husband would just leave her and had faith he would return someday.He DID treat her and their daughter kindly when he was with them after all.In fact he seemed to care about them more then he cared about himself.How COULD he just leave? He didn’t return however.Fortunately, she was fully capable of taking care of her two children by herself.She seems to be pretty optimistic and sticks by the quote “innocent until proven guilty.” as she will never turn her back on somebody until she knows exactly what happened.This is the reason she still thinks of her husband in a positive light.She is VERY superstitious however.She can also be thought of as disloyal, since she seems to be fully capable of simply dropping all contact with a family member on the spot.This is, of course, shown with Makani as she immediately turned on him the moment she learned of him killing Alemana and sent him away from their home.However, one has to ask themselves, what would you have done in that type of situation? Could you blame her? Kaikala’s name means “the sea and the sun” in Hawaiian.
Noelani [Right] : Noelani was Makani’s older sister.She, unlike her brother, met her father and she could confirm that he was a good dad.However, she seems to be very quick to make the assumption that he simply left them.She does have a very pessimistic demeanor, unlike her mother.Noelani seemed very hesitant towards sending Makani away and even tried to run after him.Kaikala stopped her and Noelani decided that her mother was probably right about sending him off.Noelani seemed visably more saddened by her brother being sent away in comparison to Kaikala however.Noelani’s name means “mist of heaven” in Hawaiian.

They only appear in flashbacks.

By the way, it may be hard to tell because of the lighting in this picture, but Kaikala has silver and white fur.Not pure white like it may appear to be.
