== Family==
===Biological===
====Koda’s mother====
Koda holds a deep love for his late mother and continues to love her even after her death.
The two obviously shared a powerful bond between mother and son. The young cub was taught so much by his mother, about nature and its wonders, including the Great Spirits that keep the world in balance with all of their magical changes. Koda always felt safe around her, but also worried when she got into dangerous situations. When he got separated from his mother, it made the made small cub feel very scared and worried. But he never stopped believing in her, and kept on the faith that he would see her again in the Salmon Run. 
However, the moment Kenai revealed the truth that he killed his mother, Koda entered a state of immense grief and sorrow over losing his mother. Even though Kenai felt sorry and apologized for what he did, it couldn’t heal Koda’s great pain, feeling all alone, being an orphan with no family. But after Koda understood Kenai’s true feelings, he forgave his friend, feeling the warmth of family with him. In the end, Koda was able to see his mother one last time, embracing each other with lots of love and bidding each other farewell. Although he felt depressed that he no longer had his mom with him, that void was filled by Kenai, who became the cub’s big brother and the two became the closest of friends. 
But still, Koda missed his mother and wished that he still had her, and when he saw the night rainbow he always got reminded of her. When Nita taught the cub that as long as he loved his mother, he would always have her, it made Koda to release his sadness and forever remember her in his heart. Even though he couldn’t see her in person, Koda still talked to her when he saw the Spirits, and it made him very happy that she blessed Kenai and Nita’s wedding with the Spirits.
Koda has always loved his mother and will always continue to love her.
===Adoptive Family===
====Kenai====
Kenai is Koda’s adoptive older brother, whom Koda loves more than anyone or anything else. Koda finds Kenai rather funny and just like many others, he has a low opinion of Kenai’s “expertise”, always making fun of him in a silly situation, but that’s just their loving relationship. Even though it took some time for Koda and Kenai to get along, because of their polar personalities, the two bears became inseparable brothers whose hearts remained connected and their love for each other grew only stronger.
When Koda first saw Kenai as a human, he was very afraid of the hunter that was attacking his mother.
When Koda first met Kenai after he was transformed into a bear, despite being a stranger he had never met before, the cub was happy to meet another bear after being separated from his mom. He tried to help Kenai to break free from a trap, but his failed hitting Kenai with a stick, god the older bear very agitated and annoyed, making Koda’s first impression rather unpleasant. Despite Kenai refusing his help, Koda still stayed with him wishing to create a potential friendship with the stranger. Koda tried to tell him about himself, but the older bear was more focused on getting free from the trap than cub’s life story. Even though he refused his help, Koda felt pity for Kenai struggling to get free, so he secretly passed the stick to him. Even though he felt bad for Kenai, Koda found his situation very funny, but after being reminded that he must get to the Salmon Run, which would be a long and difficult journey, he decided to help the older bear if he promised to come with him. Even though Kenai said he would come with him, Koda was skeptical at trusting the word of a stranger, and to have some insurance asks that Kenai Pinkie Swears on his promise, which he does. Koda feels very happy that Kenai has decided to become his traveling companion, but as soon as he notices the hunter Denahi, he abandons him in a heartbeat yelling to run. Once they are out of danger, Koda is glad to be reunited with Kenai, and likes how he jokes around with him, however his feeling of relief is turned to shock, when Kenai goes back on his promise despite having Pinky Sworn. This makes Koda feel very uneasy and scared to be all alone. Despite the older bear having lied to him, Koda still wished to be with Kenai and confessed that he was lost his mother. Even though Kenai refused to help him despite understanding his troubles, Koda begged for Kenai’s help, promising that he would love it in his home. After Kenai accepts to come with, when the cub reveals that the Salmon Run is near the same destination the older bear was trying to reach, it relieved Koda, who tried to be affectionate to Kenai when they take a nap, but he rebuffed his attempts and referred to the cub as kid, which Koda disliked, but still tried to be friends with him. 
Even when they woke up, Kenai still didn’t refer to Koda with his proper name despite the cub having told him his name and becomes annoyed with Kenai’s selfish mocking attitude. Koda tries to socialize with Kenai by telling stories and singing, but Kenai doesn’t want to see the bear cub as a friend, but only as a temporary guide to get where he wants to be. Even though Kenai is annoyed with him and doesn’t appreciate the cub’s affection, it doesn’t stop Koda from showing how he likes Kenai and wishes to be his friend no matter how many times he fails. Eventually, Koda’s fun-loving behavior gets into Kenai and causes the teen bear to become more affectionate and the two become even closer. Koda sees that Kenai does many weird things uncommon for bears, but he finds them funny.
Soon, Kenai appreciates Koda’s company and doesn’t mind hearing Koda’s story, and the cub enjoys his time with Kenai even more. When Kenai reveals that he has a brother, who has become a spirit, Koda feels sympathy for the teen bear, but is also grateful that he met Kenai thanks to his brother, and also feels envious of Kenai since the little cub always wished he had a brother. Feeling so warm and fulfilled with Kenai, Koda begins to see the teen bear as the brother he always wished he had.
Even though their friendship was growing, after a little dispute over getting lost with Kenai lashing out at Koda, it breaks Koda’s heart to think that Kenai doesn’t care for him at all, when he himself had grown so attached to the teen bear. However, after Kenai goes after the cub to apologize, Koda quickly forgives him, understanding that Kenai didn’t really mean all those bad things he said. Their friendship continues to grow further with Kenai letting Koda ride on him and the cub enjoying playing together. He also liked to scare Kenai by pouncing on him, despite the teen’s bear discomfort and annoyance. When they encountered Denahi again, Koda ran away scared, but was saved by Kenai, who risked his own life.
When they arrived at the Salmon Run, Koda proudly calls Kenai his friend and introduces him to his other friends. Back home, Koda was very thankful that Kenai helped him get to the Salmon Run and wished that they would spend more time together. However, when Kenai revealed that he wouldn’t be coming back, it came as a shock to Koda as to why he wouldn’t see Kenai again after they had finally become friends. With some encouraging from the other bears, Koda shows Kenai the beauty of his home and convinces Kenai to stay with him and be part of his life. Feeling that they had finally embraced each other as friends, Koda becomes a little disappointed when Kenai called him a pain in the neck, but became happier than ever when Kenai gave him a hug to show the cub that he was joking around, embracing each other as brothers.
Just when it seems things couldn’t be better for the two bears, Koda’s world is turned upside down when a depressed Kenai reveals that he killed his mother. Heartbroken and devastated to learn that the person he loved so much and considered like a brother figure was responsible for killing his mother, Koda loses all the love and faith he had for Kenai, no longer knowing what to believe in. Even when Kenai regrets his actions, Koda is too drowned in despair to talk to him, but listens when Kenai expresses his desire to make up for what he did and soothe Koda’s pain. However, even after that, Koda remains hidden and doesn’t accompany Kenai when he leaves, still feeling betrayed and hurt that Kenai did something so cruel to his mother.
However, when Koda is reminded by the moose brothers Rutt and Tuke the values of brotherhood and how strong its bonds are, the cub remembers his friendship with Kenai and realizes that the good times they spent together weren’t lies or illusions. Knowing that Kenai really is his friend and he has changed, Koda saves his friend from Denahi by risking his own life. When Kenai is transformed back into a human, Koda becomes very frightened of him, recognizing him as the hunter who had attacked his mother before. But when he sees Kenai’s eyes, Koda is overjoyed to see that he is really Kenai and gives him hug, having forgiven Kenai for his sin and wishing to be with him forever. After Kenai is transformed back into a bear, Koda jumps on him to give him a hug, glad to have his friend back. He was also very proud that Kenai was able to fulfill his dream. After Kenai decided to stay with Koda, their bond evolved from friends to brothers, and they became inseparable loving and caring for each other and engaging in fun experiences together which only strengthened their brotherhood.
After 6 months of hibernation, Koda couldn’t be any closer to his big brother, who always stays by his side and helps his little brother when he’s down. However, when the bear brothers meet Kenai’s childhood friend, Nita, Koda’s loving bond with his big brother begins to fade, when the latter no longer pays attention to the cub. When Koda jokes around and Kenai yells at him, this short moment  creates a rift between the bear brothers, with Koda becoming very scared and confused, creating doubts in his mind. As their journey progresses, Kenai continues neglecting of the little cub makes things even worse between them, with Kenai paying no attention since he’s with Nita, and Koda becoming more distant and indifferent, which is surprising considering how playful and cheerful the young cub is. He begins to feel rather angry at Kenai and how he is more caring of Nita than he is with Koda. When Kenai leaves him alone and doesn’t come back to get him, Koda’s anger turns into disappointment and sadness that his big brother would leave him on his own. This causes Koda to doubt if the love that he and Kenai had for each other is how he believed it is, being unbreakable and everlasting. 
Even after everything that had happened, Koda still kept on the faith that Kenai would continue to be his brother and stay with him forever. However, when the cub eavesdrops on a conversation between Kenai and Nita, the latter admitting that he has thought about changing back into a man, Koda is shocked to hear that, believing that Kenai would really abandon him. Having lost all faith in their brotherly love, Koda runs away heartbroken, unable to even look at his brother. After an avalanche where both Koda and Nita nearly got killed, Kenai manages to save them, but still feels very scared being with Kenai. Although Kenai wasn’t angry at him and expressed how worried he was for his little brother, Koda was very sad and heartbroken believing that Kenai would leave him to be with Nita. Feeling that Kenai didn’t love him anymore and would abandon, Koda starts crying at the thought of losing his big brother, whom he loves so much and couldn’t let him go or get over the pain of not seeing him again. But after Kenai explains that he missed his former life, but that didn’t change the fact that Koda is his brother, and promises to never leave him, Koda jumps on Kenai and they both hug each other. While Kenai hugs his little brother tightly feeling sorry for being so hard on the small cub, Koda cries on his brother’s shoulder, feeling sorry that he ever doubted his loving big brother and also being glad that he will stay with him forever.
Once they part ways with Nita and return from their trip to Hokani Falls, Koda becomes worried over his brother’s gloomy behavior, seeing that Kenai was sad because he was separated from his childhood friend. He tries to comfort his brother and encourages him to confess his feelings to Nita. But Kenai has it hard to explain it to the cub, but tries to cheer him up by putting a brave face and reminding his little brother that they will enjoy their time together and they don’t have to worry about Nita anymore. But Koda realizes that Kenai isn’t being honest with himself and that he really misses Nita and wishes to be with her, and it makes Koda feel guilty that he came between them and was so possessive of his brother that he didn’t consider his feelings. Understanding that not even his love alone wouldn’t be enough to free his big brother from the sorrow he was feeling, Koda asks the Spirits to turn Kenai into a man so he can be happy with Nita, even though the cub himself becomes sad that he will lose his only family, but gathers his courage and stays strong for Kenai’s sake. His will to make Kenai happy again was so strong that he even went to Nita’s village to bring her back, even if it meant risking his life.
Koda’s brotherly bond with Kenai is put to the test a second time, when the Spirits come to grant Koda’s wish to turn Kenai back into a human. Having understood Kenai’s feelings for both Nita and himself, Koda gives Kenai a hug to show that he will always love his big brother and that he wishes for him to be happy with Nita, even if it means being separated from him, knowing that the love he received from his brother will never fade away. However, Kenai refuses since his own love for Koda is the thing he holds most dear and couldn’t live without his little brother. When Nita decides to join the bears instead so Kenai can remain with Koda, it makes Koda very happy that his brother’s dilemma has been resolved and exited that he marries Nita, thus not only having a happy Kenai to love him, but also an older sister bear. With all of them together Koda’s love for his brother continues to grow with his sister Nita.
What started out as a difficult relationship became an unbreakable bond between Koda and his big brother Kenai that continued to face problems and mistakes that nearly tore the bear brothers apart, but their love always proved stronger and it continued to grow with every obstacle.
====Nita ====
Nita is Koda’s older adoptive sister-in-law. Both Koda and Nita share many similarities with each other. Koda has a close bond with her that first came to be from their relationship with Kenai, whom they both have a similar fondness of. They interact with each other far better than Kenai did with either of them, since they both have better wits and a finer sense of humor than Kenai. Nita is like a mother figure to the young cub, watching over Koda and caring for him.
When Koda first heard about Nita when his brother was dreaming about her, the cub became very curious as to who she was and was happy to meet her in the same day. Koda’s first interaction with her was very well, with Nita being much more gentle and friendlier with the cub than Kenai, happily listening to his funny stories. The two became friends quickly and enjoyed each other’s company while making fun of Kenai. Koda had a little trouble of understanding Nita‘s feelings when he made fun of them losing the amulet to the raccoons, but did feel remorse when he saw Nita‘s depression. Koda thinks highly of Nita, both of her skills and how she is more perceptive than Kenai when it comes to people’s feelings. However, Koda fails to realize Nita‘s discomfort when he accidentally scared her with a salmon, simply making fun of her, but tries to cheer her up by playing around with a fish to get Nita to laugh. Unfortunately, his jokes don’t make things any better and it causes a rift between himself and Kenai, thus making Koda’s relationship with both Kenai and Nita turn sour.
Seeing how Nita and Kenai‘s affection for each other is growing, it slowly causes Koda to grow jealous of the former, as he starts to dislike how they enjoy their time together more and more while the duo neglects the cub for their own pleasure. As Koda’s jealousy over Nita becoming closer to his brother grew, so did his worries of losing Kenai over to Nita. Koda did understand that Kenai liked Nita, but kept on the faith that the latter wouldn’t steal Kenai from him, believing that his big brother’s love for the cub came first. However, his faith in his brother diminished when he eavesdropped on the duo over Kenai turning back into a man, making Koda to run away, drowning in sadness and feel intense hatred at Nita, blaming the girl for taking Kenai away from him, thus making the bear cub endure a life of loneliness without any family. Even when Nita was trying to get Koda to safety from the ice cave and bring him back to Kenai, the cub refused her help, not wanting to be with either her or Kenai. However, when his life was clearly in danger, Koda forgot his rage towards Nita and followed her out of the glacier and with her help they both survived an avalanche. After Kenai saved them after being buried in the snow, Koda’s anger at Nita and his sadness over losing his brother dissolved when Kenai promised to remain his brother and never leave him for anyone no matter what.
Once the trio makes it to Hokani Falls, Koda is intrigued by Nita’s painting of both her and Kenai, and the bear cub begins to understand how Nita’s relationship with Kenai runs much deeper than he thought. When Koda learns that Nita‘s mother is among the Great Spirits, the cub relates to her since his mother is a Spirit as well. Knowing what the pain of losing a parent is like, Koda shares a warm embrace with Nita, who understands the cub’s feelings about the loss of his mother. When they part ways, Koda feels saddened about losing his new friend, but manages to move on with his big brother’s love.
However, when Koda sees that Kenai is in a state of depression because he no longer is with Nita, the bear cub decides to bring them together, even if it means losing his brother, as long as both of his friends are happy. He even risks his life to bring back Nita to join Kenai. Once Nita decides to become a bear, Koda is overjoyed that she will stay with both him and Kenai, and excitedly watches both Nita and Kenai getting married, thus keeping his family, which only got bigger with Nita becoming his new sister bear.
Koda and Nita are kindred spirits who have gone through loss and made strong bonds with Kenai, that helped them overcome their past pain. Koda’s relationship began with no problems, unlike his with Kenai. His friendship with Nita did turn sour later, which lasted far longer than the time with his brother, but it turned well later on after realizing the connection they had with each other. Koda loves Nita as both a sister and a loving mother figure, and appreciates the fact that she will always remain with both him and his brother.
