Plenty of women have long hair. But noone has long hair and the look of Ailini. It might be her undergraduate degree in drama. Or it might be her wicked sense of humour. Or it might just be her natural talent for mimicry and mime.

Whatever, you don't want Ailini recounting a story about one of your misdeeds. If that happens then you'll find people laughing for days. When we first met her, we thought that this demure lady was born to dance and perform and teach others about the ceremonies and performing arts practices of Polynesian cultures. But we're revising our first impressions and all the conclusions we jumped to.

For a start, Ailini is multi-lingual; and fluent in Tongan and English. Also, she is a drama major which means that she understands all the nuances of expression. And she is a mean dancer and teacher. Does that explain why Ailini is in such great demand for shows and performances?
