Malio

Family: Puna · Role: Halaaniani's sister · First appears: Chapter XX

In Chapter XX, during the four days of Laieikawai’s retirement, Halaaniani told his sister Malio he wanted her help to win Laieikawai before her marriage to Kekalukaluokewa. Malio asked him to return that evening so they could decide how he might succeed. In Chapter XXI, she interpreted his dream as foretelling success and instructed him how to take Laieikawai while surfing.

In Chapter XXIII, Laielohelohe refused Malio and Halaaniani and told them to leave and not return. Malio returned to her brother and said, “We have failed to-day, but I will try my supernatural arts to fulfill your desire.”
