Mamanu is the main antagonist of the Sofia the First episodes "The Emerald Key" and "Stormy Lani".

She is the former Royal Enchantress from the island of Hakalo who seeks to take care of the kingdom itself in revenge for her banishment by King Kamea for her past thievery. She did this by exploiting Princess Lani's image, from the latter's looks to her powers. She is also Lani's archenemy.

She was voiced by Angelique Perrin.

Personality

Mamanu is arrogant as an evil trickster, as shown when she disguised herself as Lani. She is even despicable, notorious, while in a conflict with the other Lani. She is even much crueler than Princess Ivy in her character attitude (as Ivy was far more merciful in comparison), thus being portrayed as an outright villain.

History

Sofia the First

"The Emerald Key"

Mamanu was very infamous for being a despicable thief by snatching magic stones in the island of Hakalo. This results in the evil sorceress being expelled from the island of Hakalo, thus being the invader of Enchancia. Another despicable plan is stealing the Emerald Key, which belongs to a Hawaiian princess named Lani. This made her very angry, which put a stop to the evil thief.

In order for her to obtain the key, Mamanu disguised herself as Lani, which got her into a conflict between the real Lani. King Roland II was very angry about the fake and real Lani, which puts the two on a test. She won the final test at waltzing but failed after getting angry at the snail. Another despicable plan was when she put an attempt to make Lani tired to win the final test after failing a make-up test.

She and Lani went out of the maze in their intelligence. However, she was eventually very despicable and notorious by cheating in order to win the reward. This results her to escape the maze. In order to stop the sorceress, Sofia and the Royal Family went after the thief. Also, the forest animals are summoned by Clover (the rabbit) to stop the evil thief. While surrounded by the animals, the king tried to capture her. The key is got back by Lani, which made the king summon his guards to arrest her. She ends up escaping by vanishing and is never seen again.

"Stormy Lani"

During Lani's Fire Pearl ceremony, where she has to climb up to Mt. Hakalo and retrieve said fire pearl, Mamanu attempts to enact her vengeful plans again by using Lani's atmokinetic weaknesses, using it as a means to wipe out the entire island of Hakalo.

After Lani passed her first challenge of opening the gates with her powers, Mamanu then proceeds to make the princess' journey a lot more difficult by making her lose her temper. Some of what Mamanu did to make Lani lose her temper include nearly costing the needed map Sofia was carrying, dropping off the bridge, and transforming into a spider so that Lani could be provoked more. However, after witnessing that Lani has calmed herself down through Sofia's guidance, which also made the young duo proceed throughout the journey, Mamanu became upset, backfiring her earlier moves in the process.

At Lani's last obstacle, Mamanu does her desperate move to make the princess lose the challenge by making her pet snake and minion, Milo, go after the young duo by turning him into a three-headed serpent, which has him stealing the map from Sofia, frustrating Lani more and causing the two young girls to briefly split up. When Lani tried the challenge by herself, she later realized her mistake of abandoning Sofia, so the two girls reconciled with each other and devise a plan to retrieve the map from Milo with the use of hail, disappointing his master Mamanu.

When Sofia and Lani arrived at the top of Mt. Hakalo, they noticed that Mamanu has taken the Fire Pearl before them, causing Lani to lose her temper again. However, Sofia made Lani control her temper again by making her think of happy memories, which frustrates Mamanu herself. As her last move to provoke Lani again, Mamanu drops the Fire Pearl into the lava, but it turns out that Lani has magmakinesis, making her retrieve the Fire Pearl underneath the volcanic lava. Ironically upset by this, Mamanu makes her last move by trying to attack both Lani and Sofia, but Lani was there just in time by blowing Mamanu away from the island of Hakalo for good, with her last words being "How humiliating." It is unknown what came of Mamanu after that.
