Xochiquetzal (Intermediate God)
Xochiquetzal is the goddess of flowers, dance, and proper love. Along with her twin brother, Xochipilli, she is responsible for much of what men and women find joyful in life. However, as the goddess of
love, she is somewhat less fickle than her twin – though that is not to say that she is entirely constant, either.
In her true form, Xochiquetzal is a woman of such beauty and gaiety that all men who see her fall in love with her. She has the power to make any man fall in love with any woman.
Roleplaying Tips
Though not intimately involved in human affairs, Xochiquetzal occasionally answers (10% chance) the joint plea of a man and woman in love, though their relationship cannot be hidden or illicit in any manner.
She is especially concerned with countering the efforts of Tlazolteotl to lure good men into guilty loves.
Omens from Xochiquetzal include the unexpected appearance of a blooming flower, the sudden withering of a flower already in bloom, and the uncontrollable urge to dance.
