Aumea
Played by Shushila Takao
The headstrong and intelligent daughter of one of the most prominent families on the island. A postgraduate student at Auckland University, she is heavily involved in environmental activism, working for an NGO alongside her studies.
Close to her family, she finds herself disagreeing with some of the business decisions her brother Maui makes at the family pearl farm and her forthright nature can lead to friction between the siblings.
