Sina

Family: the Samoan legends · Role: a woman of the Samoan legend · First appears: Chapter VII · Maui and Tuna · Part 2

In the Samoan story in Chapter VII · Maui and Tuna · Part 2, Sina kept a small eel as a pet, but it grew large and attacked and bit her. “She fled, but the eel followed her everywhere.” Her father raised mountains between them, and her mother raised another series to stop the eel.

As the eel was dying, it asked Sina to bury its head by her home. She did, and a plant grew there, becoming a tree that bore a cocoanut whose two eyes looked into Sina’s face.
