Nei Tituaabine

Nei Tituaabine, is a red-skinned maiden in Micronesian mythology, specifically in Kiribati.

She fell in love with the giant red-skinned chief, Auriaria, but they had no children. After her death, three trees grew from her grave: a coconut from her head, a pandanus from her heels and an almond from her navel. She became a tree goddess.
