THE SISTER GODDESSES OF MAUNA KEA
In the Hawaiian mythology, there were four deity sisters whose home was the volcano of Mauna Kea. According to the myths, they're daughters of the god Kāne. All four were beautiful, full of wit and wisdom and lovers of adventure. They were the goddesses of the snow-covered mountains, ice, storms and more. They ruled in the north of the Kīlauea mountains and dwelled in the cloud-capped summits.
As they were known enemies of Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes, all of them embodied the mythical ideas of spirits carrying on eternal warfare between heat and cold, fire and frost, burning lava and stony ice. It is said that the basalt of the mountain was created after a fight between Pele and Poli'ahu, the most famous of the sisters.
Each sister was equally important and powerful, but with different powers and responsibilities.

As said before, she is the most famous of the four. She is also noted as Hawaii's most beautiful goddess. Her name means "cloaked blossom" or "temple blossom". As the snow and ice goddess, she is the antithesis of her fiery archrival, Pele. She has a white kapa that spreads across the summit of Mauna Kea in the winter, covering it with snow; and adorns the mountain with her pink and gold cloak in the summer. Many men have pursued her, yet she always ends up alone. She fell in love with one mortal, Aiwohikupua, but she found out he was already betrothed to a princess of Maui (seePoli'ahu and Aiwohikupua).

Waiau is the guardian goddess sister of the glistening lake in one of the crater-cones on the summit of Mauna Kea which bears her name. Her name means "water of sufficient depth to bathe." She would often bathe Poliʻahu, and refreshed her drinking gourd with sweet water. She can adopt the form of a bird.
— KAHOUPOKANE!

Kahoupokane is the goddess of Hualālai and raging storms. She is also a master kapa (cloth) maker. When the heavy rains come down from the mountain, it is known that Kahoupokane is wetting the kapa. A clap of thunder sounds each time she beats the kapa, and lightning strikes as she flips the cloth. Her storms rage until the piece is complete.
—LILINOE!

Lilinoe is the sister goddess of the fine mist, dead fires, and desolation, the empty and lifeless lands born from lava flows. She was also the goddess of Haleakalā, a massive dormant volcano. She takes care of Poliʻahuʻs hair so that it is soft and fine.
