Tonowari

Tonowari is a major protagonist in the 2022 film Avatar: The Way of Water. He is the leader of the Metkayina clan.

==History==
===Background===
In the past, Tonowari fought alongside Jake Sully during the Battle of Pandora. He was married to Ronal and had three children with her: Tsireya, Aonung, and an unborn child. 
He allowed Jake's family asylum in his village. He was initially reluctant to letting them in, thinking they won’t be able to learn their ways, but Jake insists they will adapt to their rhythms. He helped show Jake the ways while he ordered Tsireya and Ao’nung to show Lo’ak, Kiri and Neteyam their ways. 
==Personality==
Tonowari is the levelheaded and calm leader of the Metkayina clan who allows Jake, Neytiri and their family to stay with them as the RDA hunted them. However, he will be strict if orders are disobeyed. For example, Tonowari scolded his son for taking Lo'ak beyond the reef, which was forbidden, and scolded loak for befriending Payakan, a Tulkun who was exiled for allegedly murdering several Tulkun and Na'vi. 
He is also an honorable man, fighting alongside Jake against the RDA so they could save Ronal and Tonowari's daughter, Tsireya, and the Sully children, Kiri, Lo'ak, and Tuktirey. At the end of the film, Tonowari allows the Sully family to remain with the clan and officially saw them as one of the Metkayina after Neteyam was buried with their ancestors.
