Shihotama is Rerebawa's wife. Her parents have no sons, and they want Shihotama and Rerebawa to remain with them to care for them in their old age. Shihotama sometimes visits the village of her husband's people, but her parents always insist that she leave at least one of her children with them because they know that she will not be able to remain separated from the child forever and will always return, bringing Rerebawa with her.
