Kahili was travelling until the end, thought that we might see her during main plot, isn't it? Nope, but she does appear at the end of the main plot by being an Elite Four.
Before that, she was the first Island Challenge Champion. We are the second, although we are the first Alola League Champion.
Aside from that, she is a golfing champion. And a royal?? Was it her or Acerola, I forgot. So there you go. Yes, I just love Kahili's design and how clever they play with the golfing terms to base her design.
