Idk if I posted this or not, but in the spirit of spooky season, my character Ticualtzincoatl (Beautiful Serpent). An Aztec demigoddess (daughter of human woman Citlali and god Quetzalcoatl), she appears half-human and half-serpent (waist up human, waist down, snake-tail), yet her human face also has some reptilian qualities. She lives in the depths of a cave, yet is also able to use underground tunnels to retreat to a second cave in modern-day Texas.
As a human-eater, Ticualtzincoarl has a minor cult and for fertility, some sacrifice themselves to her, yet she is also a “healer” who puts the sick or injured out of their misery.
“A goddess never dies!” she declares, though she also has fond memories of her human mother.
As punishment for starting to kill indiscriminately, she lives as a snake for 100 years, only to return to her original form. I’ve written three stories about her: one where she is discovered by cave explorers in the modern day, one where she recruits a human woman to help bring her sacrifices, and one where is informed of the conquest of Tenochtitlan/Mexico City and gets her revenge on a conquistador.
I need to write more stuff with her, but Idk what they would be about.
