Okonkwo's daughter, Ezinma
This depends on your version of the book. There are over 100 mentions of Ezinma in the book.

Ekwefi was the Crystal of Beauty in her youth, as was her daughter Ezinma.
*Okonkwo *Ezinma *Things Also, Chielo comes for Ezinma. Chielo is constantly being "possesed," and she says Agbala wants to see Ezinma.
The iyi-uwa was buried near the orangetree.
While her mother Ekwefi initially pampers Ezinma, it could be said that Okonkwo treats her with greater respect than the rest of his children.
Ezinma is told a story by her mother, that of Tortoise and the birds. Unfortunately, it does not contain a song. Ezinma is given the task of telling the next story. Ezinma begins, but is interrupted by Chielo. Ezinma is scared by her and begins to cry. Ezinma is given a piece of fish by her mother. Ezinma is taken by Chielo on her back. Ezinma is shown Agbala, throughout the nine villages and at the cave shrine.
Okonkwo's children in Chinua Achebe's novel "Things Fall Apart" are Nwoye, Ezinma, and Ikemefuna.
In "Things Fall Apart," Ezinma is often seen as the "child of promise" archetype. She is strong-willed, intelligent, and brings hope to her family, much like a prophesied figure or chosen one. Her close relationship with her father, Okonkwo, also plays into the archetype of the cherished daughter.
In Chinua Achebe's novel "Things Fall Apart," it is Okonkwo who follows Chielo and Ezinma during their journey to the Oracle. Okonkwo is Ezinma's father and he accompanies them to the shrine to ensure Ezinma's safety.
Due to superstition, they believe Ezinma is an ogbanje, a child who will die only to be reborn in her mother's womb. As such, the family is required to find her iwi-uya putting Ezinma through a trial as she struggles to make up a story that will fulfill the villagers' fantasy.
