Making Nu Wa from Dynasty Warriors 3 in DW9E

Nüwa, also read Nügua, is a mother goddess, culture hero and a member of the Three Sovereigns of Chinese mythology. She is a god in Chinese folk religion and Taoism. She is credited with creating humanity and repairing the Pillar of Heaven.

Going back to more ancient times, the four pillars were broken; the nine provinces were in tatters. Heaven (outer-space) did not completely cover the earth. Earth did not hold up Heaven all the way around its circumference. Fires blazed out of control and could not be extinguished; water flooded in great expanses and would not recede. Ferocious animals ate blameless people; predatory birds snatched the elderly and the weak. Thereupon, Nüwa smelted together five-colored stones in order to patch up the azure sky, cut off the legs of the great turtle to set them up as the four pillars, killed the black dragon to provide relief for Ji Province, and piled up reeds and cinders to stop the surging waters. The azure sky was patched; the four pillars were set up; the surging waters were drained; the province of Ji was tranquil; crafty vermin died off; thus the blameless people preserved their lives.
