Chalchiuhtlicue

'Chachi' — a catch-all goddess of childbirth, water, fire and harvests, never sponsored as far as Rosetta remembers, whose words Lucia relays at the water park's finish: she is here, new, needing no vessel; the veins are open; all the trapped are coming for the twelfth floor. Samantha knows her as the one who preaches saving children and sacrifices them, once a whole day care over cilantro. She is with Azra and Yaz in the cold.

Arc

Through Lucia: here, new, needing no vessel; 'the kindest thing may be letting us die'; the veins open (ch. 51). Samantha's Chachi: cries a lot, kills children, a day care over cilantro (ch. 52); Rosetta and Prepotente gloss her (ch. 53). A goddess nobody has heard of appears in the showrunners' HQ when the AI intervenes for Cascadia (ch. 78).
