Xochiquetzal

Xochiquetzal is perhaps the most tragic of the Teōtl, for she knew paradise and lost it forever. As patroness of feminine beauty, fertility, and artistry, Xochiquetzal ruled the heavenly realm of Tamoanchan where she reveled in its splendor with an entourage of attendants and entertainers. But Xochiquetzal grew covetous of Tamoanchan’s forbidden fruit and was forever banished to the World by Tonacacihuatl upon her first bite.

Filled with sadness and weeping, Xochiquetzal made the best of her lot and adapted to her new home with wild abandon. She often manifests as a wealthy socialite, model, or elite fashion designer. She holds court every eight years during a major fashion event in Mexico City, but is just at home in New York, Paris, or Milan. As patron of weaving and artistry, Xochiquetzal weaves garments of unparalleled beauty sought by mortal and Scion alike.

Xochiquetzal is sensuality incarnate, lust absolute, and seduction manifest. None can resist her charms and few would want to. Scions born to her (and they are many) are naturally alluring and rarely have trouble finding romantic partners. She is also a patron of fertility, blessing the barren with children and protecting young mothers in childbirth. Fertility clinics blessed by Xochiquetzal are always successful, and mothers giving birth under her protection find a quetzal feather and small spindle in their child’s hand when they awaken.

Xochiquetzal’s Scions tend to emulate their divine mother. They are playful, strong willed, wealthy, seductive, and talented in a variety of arts. They love being the center of attention, high fashion, and don’t take no for an answer. Xochiquetzal’s Scions are wealthy socialites, celebrities, telenovela stars, fashion designers, runway models, doctors, fertility clinic workers, midwives, and prodigal artists of all stripes.
