Mine-a (Enchanta: ᜋᜒᜈᜒ-ᜀ, snow) is a character from the Filipino telefantasya saga Encantadia produced by GMA Network. Also known as Ynang Reyna, Mine-a is a queen of the Diwata kingdom of Lireo, and the mother of main characters Amihan, Pirena, Alena and Danaya.
Mine-a has been played by several Filipina actresses. Dawn Zulueta played Mine-a in the first Encantadia series. Nadine Samonte, on the other hand, played the young Mine-a in the Etheria series. However, the Ynang Reyna character was originally played by Giselle Toengi in Mulawin, the series from which Encantadia spin-off. On the 2016 requel of the series, Encantadia, Marian Rivera takes on the role of the Ynang Reyna. In Etheria 2017, young Mine-a will be played by Kim Domingo in which she was still a Heran.
Named after the word for snow in Enchanta (the Encantadia language). Long ago, in the earlier days of Etheria, there was a diwata named Esmeralda, who had powers in whatever words she lets go from her mouth. Once, a couple of Etherians tried stealing her sceptre but they did not succeed. Instead, Esmeralda had bestowed unto them and the whole of Etheria, a curse that one of her race would be the one to bring Etheria into nothing but ashes, leaving memories of their kingdom being a dreadful one. This threatens the kingdom and begins to turn diwatas into their slaves, keeping an eye on every diwata being born and killing whoever does even just a small heroic work. All these were done to prevent the threatening prophecy from happening.
