History

Namaka is the sea goddess of the Akua, the gods of Oceania/Polynesia.

Namaka and her younger sister Pele were born mortal and competed for the right to become goddesses, slowly accumulating the levels of mana needed to acheive superhuman feats. This caused much resentment between the two siblings, which intensified when Pele seduced Namaka's lover, Aukelenuiaiku.[1]

The ferocious fight that was fought between the two sisters caused the creation of the islands of Hawaii as Pele's mastery of molten lava clashed with Namaka's control of the cooling waters.[4][1] In the course of the battle, Pele was killed by her sister, but their father Kāne revived her and turned her into a goddess. Furious, Namaka sent a series of spells that tied the mortal heart of her sister to the island of Kilauea, so that Pele could not leave.[4][1]
