[url=https://data.whicdn.com/images/341276670/original.gif]Along with her husband, Mictlāntēcutli[/url], Mictēcacihuātl ruled over the land of Mictlan, the lowest level of the underworld where the dead reside. As their queen, she has the responsibility of guarding the bones of the dead and governing over their festivals. It is believed that she was born and sacrificed as an infant, grew up in the underworld and eventually became the mate of Mictlāntēcutli. Together, Mictlan’s rulers had power over all three types of souls dwelling in the underworld: those who died normal deaths, heroic deaths, and non-heroic deaths. In order for the deceased to be accepted into Mictlan, offerings to the lord and lady of death were necessary, and the worldly goods buried with the newly dead were intended to ensure their safety in the underworld.[/quote][/indent][/indent] [center][color=C22941][u] 𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 [/u][/color][/center] [indent][indent][quote]When Mictēcacihuātl and her husband were ripped away from their beloved Mictlan and banished to Earth to live as humans, they found themselves feeling confused and highly upset. Finding out that the culprit behind their misfortune was a mortal, however, only served to infuriate them further, and the couple went on a rage-fuelled killing spree that lasted nearly a decade. But they soon realized that no matter how many humans they slayed, it would not take them back to their domain, and they eventually resigned themselves to their new normal. Of the two Aztec underworld rulers, Mictēcacihuātl was the one who took things more favorably. The young woman quickly molding herself to whichever new destination the Colossus was moved to, finding comfort in the presence of her husband. But Mictlāntēcutli despised their new reality. He resented being away from Mictlan, in cities with people he didn’t know and languages he couldn’t understand. The man grew more restless with each passing day, in a slow descent into the madness that would drive him to attempt his escape. He bid goodbye to his tearful, terrified wife with a strong embrace and a heated kiss, promising to come back for her before setting off into his voyage of freedom. That was the last time Mictēcacihuātl ever saw her husband again. When the Lady of the Dead received the news of Mictlāntēcutli’s passing, the inconsolable Mictēcacihuātl became a shadow of who she had once been. The spark in her brown eyes had disappeared, her smile was but a memory, and her once proud, arrogant demeanor was reduced to a shadow of itself. Grief had consumed her whole, tearing her down in ways she’d never thought possible. Finding nothing but pain in the sights of her fellow deities-- constant reminders of the love she had lost--, Mictēcacihuātl isolated herself from the world, opting to live as a hermit in the forests of whatever location the gods were sent to. For centuries, the Queen of the Aztec Underworld was not seen or heard of, and many assumed she had chosen to follow her husband into the afterlife. They were wrong. In the 1900’s, Mictēcacihuātl came back with a vengeance. The time away had served to harden her once-broken heart into steel, and had given her a new purpose for her existence. There was a lucrative business in the death industry, she quickly realized. Armed with this knowledge and her previous role in the Aztec underworld, Mictēcacihuātl invested the funds gained from her assassinations as the hitwoman of Bakunawa to commercialize death. Under the name Marcela Castillo, Mictēcacihuātl created Peaceful Rest Memorial Gardens: a company with nation-wide locations that provided beautiful, well-maintained spaces for buried or cremated souls to rest in peace. As expected, her business had taken off instantly, and had not seen a dip in revenue yet. Her role in the Seattle crime underworld certainly helped with that. All in all, life was good for Marcela Castillo… If you pushed aside the drinking, prescription pills and night terrors, that is.[/quote][/indent][/indent][/hider]
