It has recently occurred to me that Nani, Lilo's older sister from "Lilo and Stitch," doesn't get enough credit. Actually, she doesn't get discussed at all. If anything, Nani should be every girl's role model.
1. She was 19 and RAISED her little sister
2. Her love interest wasn't someone she just met that day; they were friends before any feelings started brewing.
3. Nani isn't your basic Disney Character. She had thighs and she ROCKED THEM.
4. Paying bills at 19 is hard, like we all know that struggle.
5. She constantly tried her best for her little sister.
6. Even though she was moody (but for a 19-year-old, that's totally common), she supported everyone in her life and never asked for anything in return.
7. And when Lilo was sad and wanted friends, Nani did everything in her power to make Lilo happy. Hence Stitch coming into the picture.
Basically, my point is that Nani is actually what every teenager should aspire to be. She faced a lot of challenges including having to stop being young and dumb and start being a parent to her sister. You honestly can't say that there is another Disney character like Nani, who's one of a kind and never really talked about. Maybe it's time to idolized this character because, let's face it, we all should be a little more like Nani.
