[pronounced softly in Zapotec as Donashi], who according to Zapotec legend was the beautiful granddaughter of King Cosijoeza, the last great king of the Zapotec civilization. She was taken hostage and subsequently decapitated by factions warring with the Zapotecs. Her head was lost, only to be discovered miraculously much later still in a fresh state by a shepherd digging up a flower. Her visage is represented on the coat of arms of the city of Oaxaca de Juárez.
