As anticipation begins to build around the next Disney princess film, we’re now being introduced to the actress who will voice the starring role. Fourteen-year-old Auli’i Cravalho is a native Hawaiian and will voice the new animated heroine, Moana. The young actress could hardly contain her excitement while speaking to PEOPLE:

“Moana is such an amazing character. She’s brave, she is so empowered, she knows what she wants and she’s not afraid to get it, and I think that’s something that I can relate to as well. I just love watching how she goes along in this wonderful movie and grows as a person and helps her culture along the way.”
