**Lady Micte** was the Goddess of Death. A power-hungry and ambitious goddess in her youth, she married Lord Mictlan to elevate her status. After hearing a rumour that a demigod child being sacrificed would grant the god who did so almost infinite power, she had a daughter with King Teca. But she soon developed feelings for the child, and thereafter took steps to protect her from Lord Mictlan for as long as possible, often visiting her on her birthdays.

Lady Micte then revealed herself to Maya after she escaped The Underworld and fought against Mictlan on her behalf. She was later poisoned by Mictlan and died during the final battle.

## History

#### Backstory

When she was a young goddess all she wanted was power, so she married Lord Mictlan. But he later became drunk with power, and Micte knew it was only a matter of time before he would turn on her so when she heard a rumour that if a demigod was sacrificed, the god who did so would be the most powerful in both realms, so she had an affair with King Teca to give birth to Maya. She initially planned to help Mictlan become even more powerful, but after becoming a mother she knew that her daughter was all that mattered to her.
 This changed her feelings towards Maya, so she spared her instead of sacrificing her by convincing Mictlan to send Maya away so that she can grow more powerful. By doing so, Mictlan would become twice as powerful, but it was really to save Maya's life. she couldn't let Mictlan know she was coming to see Maya, so she would return once a year on her birthdays in disguise to spend time with her, humming the song 'Bolom Chon' that always brought her comfort.
