I have learned how to navigate her strong nature while nurturing it as well. I raised her to think for herself. I raised her to question.

Moana doesn't have a love interest because this movie is about a journey - a physical one across hundreds and hundreds of miles of ocean, but also an emotional one of Moana finding herself. She doesn't need a man or love interest to find herself.
