Xochi

**Xochi** is the transgender daughter of the Primavera, the Gold Diosa of the season of Spring.

## The Sunbearer Trials

### Pre-Series

Before the events of the Sunbearer Trials, Xochi was born in Selva de Flores and assigned male at birth. She was adored by her mother and aunts. During her gender confirmation ceremony, Xochi saw herself as female.

### Main Series

Xochi is selected as one of the ten competitors in the Sunbearer Trials. She is one of the competitors to finish the La Cumbre trial. She also witnesses Teo fly and molt his feathers to those of a male quetzal. Then during the El Valle trial, she steals the goat alebrije from Teo before he could grasp it. During the dinner with Fauna, Catalina, and Alejandra, she asks Teo if he can perch as he is "practically an alebrije [him]self" by Alejandra. Not much is known about her actions at the Opal Oasis trial, but she is partnered with Atzi, although she gets tagged out. During the Laberinto trial, she tries to steal some of the stones from Marino but finds only plain rocks. This somehow corrupts her power as she ruthlessly attacks Marino, which ends only when Teo intervenes. However, her actions lead to her ranking being in ninth place, just above Xio. Then during the Los Restos trial, she is one of the five contestants, including Atzi, Dezi, Teo, and Auristela who could not finish the trial. Then during the sacrificial ceremony, Teo refuses to sacrifice Auristela, and when Xio reveals himself to be an Obsidian, the traitor gods return and take most of the semidioses with them, Xochi included.

## Trivia

* Xochi takes her name from the Nahua/Aztec name Xóchitl, which means "flower" in Nahuatl. Her name is also used for an Aztec goddess of lust, sexuality, and beauty: Xochiquetzal, the Aztec god of art, games, dance, flowers, and song: Xochipilli, and their mother, Xochitlicue, goddess of fertility patroness of life and death, guide of rebirth, and younger sister of Coatlicue, Huitzilopochtli's mother.
* Her weakness is the night, as plants would need sunlight in order to grow and reproduce.
* She is often seen paired with Atzi, though their relationship could be merely platonic.
