Lesley-Ann Brandt as Leilani Fa'auigaese
About Leilani Fa'auigaese
Leilani is Jonah's beautiful, passionate daughter. Her wild idealism is accompanied by a lack of both common sense and of thinking things through.
Over the years, Leilani became increasingly angry about the corruption of the Fe'ausian Royal Family.
Leilani has blossomed into an intelligent, outspoken woman. But lately she has become a problem. Leilani has led the men of Fe'ausi on, while forcing them to listen to political ideas. Her popularity with men has made her extremely unpopular with the women.
Thus Leilani has been deported to New Zealand, to be with her father; who just wants to hide her away because she is severely endangering his chance to land the job of King.
