Here’s your first proper look at Disney’s newest Princess, Moana, who, as People reports, will be voiced by newcomer Auliíi Cravalho.

The film, which will hit theaters on November 23, 2016, is set in Oceania, and follows Moana, a born navigator, who is searching for a fabled island. On her incredible journey she will encounter her hero, the legendary demi-god Maui (voiced by

Dwayne Johnson), and they will traverse together the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds and ancient folklore.

“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,” said Native Hawaiian Cravalho—see her in the video below.
