She believes that here mother's spirit surrounds her.

But in the end, she bravely intends to sacrifice herself for her people's safety and returns to her homeland, finding herself, and romantic love, once again. During her stay in England, she nearly loses herself in the hustle and bustle of this new world and is turned into someone she's not. When she met John Rolfe she does not appreciate and sometimes bicker with him at first, but as time goes on and develops romantic feelings for him far greater than those she had with John Smith.

She keeps her independent spirit and playfulness but is much more mature and self-assured than she was in the first film. In the sequel, Pocahontas seems to have grown after hearing of John Smith's assumed death. In the film, she appears to have shamanic powers since she was able to commune with nature, talk to spirits, empathize with animals and understand unknown languages. She loves her homeland, adventure, and nature. She expresses wisdom beyond her years and offers kindness and guidance to those around her. Pocahontas is displayed as a noble, free-spirited and highly spiritual young woman.
