Coyolxauhqui[1] is a mysterious character who first appears at the end of Fall of the Fifth Sun. She is implied to be Isabella and the Tzitzimimes' mother, and the true mastermind behind Tez's plans.
Her name has not actually been spoken in the show, it is only revealed in the end credits of the season 3 finale.
Appearance[]
Coyolxauhqui has dark blue skin, with untamed black hair. She wears a gold and green headdress, large gold and red earrings, and golden hands and a heart around her chest like Isabella. Much like Isabella, she also has snakes on her, and eyes on her limbs. She is also notably dismembered.
Personality[]
Given her short appearance, we are not shown much of her personality, but from what we have seen, she is rather cold and to the point, looking to waste no time in what she wants.
Appearances[]
- Tez Breaks Bread (Unseen)
- Star Child (voice)
- Fall of the Fifth Sun
Relationships[]
Tez[]
Tez can be seen talking to a higher being, potentially being Coyolxauhqui at the end of Tez Breaks Bread. Tez is the one speaking, but the way he speaks implies Coyolxauhqui is the one calling the shots. She also seems not to care much for Tez, replying nonchalantly when Tez disbands from her, as she stars to reform.
Isabella[]
We aren't shown much, but the Tzitzimime's words to Isabella in Star Child of how "mother will not be pleased" and Tez saying she'll be disappointed Isabella turned against him shows Coyolxauhqui is not particularly caring towards Isabella, forcing her to follow her orders and plans.
Huitzi[]
Huitzilopochtli famously killed his sister Coyolxauhqui for her plans to murder their mother Coatlicue. In Bone Bike, we are shown text at the bottom of Mic and Hun's Muerto Race reports that Coyolxauhqui is regaining strength fueled by hatred for her mother and brother.
