"X" is for Xana

Wikipedia tells me "the xana is a character found in Asturian mythology. Always female, she is a fairy nymph of extraordinary beauty believed to live in fountains, rivers, waterfalls or forested regions with pure water. She is usually described as small or slender with long blonde or light brown hair (most often curly), which she tends to with gold or silver combs woven from sun or moonbeams." There are theories that Xana is a derivative of the Latin Goddess Diana,  deities crossing cultures...have they been talking to Daniel Jackson? (yes, that was a SG1 reference)
