From the clips we've seen,
Yuuna is not an Elvis-worshipping weird...er, free-thinker, but now
seems to reflect the more cultural (and more parent-approved?)
*Japanese* image of Cute Uncontrollably Overimaginative Girl, and the
better young-Japanese role model that Lilo could never live up to--
Which, in anime's case, would be somewhere between Sana from Kodocha,
Chiyo from Azumanga Daioh, and the little girl who chased Ten-chan on UY.
