Mononotto
Oneco is Magawisca’s sister, son of Mononotto and Monoca. He is brought in captivity to Boston and later sent to Springfield by Governor Winthrop to live in the Fletcher household as a servant. He helps entertain the younger children and is especially devoted to Faith Leslie. In contrast to his solemn older sister, he is a cheerful child. Later in life, he marries Faith. When Faith is captured by Governor Winthrop’s men, Oneco briefly kidnaps Hope in retaliation and later disguises himself as a sick sailor in order to enter the Winthrop house and rescue Faith.

Quotes
[Hope] gazed intently on the little bark—her whole soul was in that look. Her sister was there. At this first assurance, that she really beheld this loved, lost sister, Hope uttered a scream of joy; but when, at a second glance, she saw her in her savage attire, fondly leaning on Oneco's shoulder, her heart died within her; a sickening feeling came over her, an unthought of revolting of nature; and instead of obeying the first impulse, and springing forward to clasp her in her arms, she retreated to the cliff, leaned her head against it, averted her eyes, and pressed her hands on her heart, as if she would have bound down her rebel feelings.
