Yela

Yela is Donaji's cousin.

She's a villager from Quie Yelaag, known for being very outgoing and unpredictable. Always pushing her sister Bio' around, taking advantage of her sister's shyness and inability to say no. She's also Nachi's childhood friend.

Name
Yela means "Lagoon" in Yavesía Zapotec. It was taken from the fact that modern day Guelatao in Oaxaca, Mexico, is called by local Zapotecs as Yelatoo, which means "Big Lagoon", where too is a variant of tao "big".

Her calendar name is Cualao (6-Monkey), in the Zapotec sacred calendar, Píye. Curiously enough, 6-Monkey is also the name of the famous Mixtec Warrior Princess, although there's no special reason for this.
