La’ieikawai’s Enchanted Maidenhood (Legendary Hawaiian Goddess) La’ieikawai is the goddess of rainbows. According to Hawaiian legend, she has such great MANA--or divine power-- that a spectacular rainbow follows her wherever she hoes. She is hidden at birth and raised by her sorceress grandmother, Waka, to protect her from her father who is determined to have only a son. In a secret forest clearing, Wake surrounds La’ieikawai-- affectionately known as La’ie, the beautiful-- in a fine mist to guard her maidenhood until she is ready to marry a man of highest royalty. There La’ie lives in a house thatched with the rare golden feathers of the o’o birds, watched over by her bird guardians.
