Coyolxauhqui ("Face painted with Bells") is a goddess of moon and daughter of Coatlicue and Mixcoatl. She led her brothers and sisters in an attack on their mother, Coatlicue, because Coatlicue had become pregnant. She was killed by Huitzilopochtli who cut off her limbs, then tossed her head into the sky where it became the moon.
