All of the children of Rangi and Papa were male.
It was Tāne who first felt the need for a wife and began to look for a companion.
His mother showed him how to make a female form from red earth.
Then Tāne breathed life into Hine-ahuone, the earth-formed-maid, and mated with her.
Their child was Hine-ata-uira, maid-of-the-flashing-dawn ( a. k. a Hine-tītama ), and Tāne took her to wife ( Biggs 1966: 449 ).
