Biography
Wa-Nin was an opera singer who had the voice of an angel. Ho-Boe wanted her to sing a song he wrote and she agreed to do so. She gave up her opera career to be with the man she loved. When Musa was a kid she fell gravely ill and passed away. Her death left a major impact on her family; Ho-Boe gave up on his music career in grief and Musa grew up without her mother. However, she still lives in Musa's heart, giving her strength to make tough decisions. In Season 3, Musa was given the opportunity to have her mother come back from the dead, but had to give it up for the Water Stars. She told Musa that she was proud of her before she left.

In flashbacks it was shown that she and Ho-Boe used to work with Professor DuFour from Alfea and were probably friends with her.
